"This year, our sponsors are not only hosting the outstation teams, but are also paying for the food and beverage expenses." "What did he say?" "He said drinks are on the house." "India has a proud tradition of quizzing." "This is because we Indians thirst for knowledge..." "Hey." "How are you?" "All well?" "Good to see you." "[Brian] We Indians also revel in displaying said knowledge." "Trivia, esoterica, science, technology." "16 whiskeys, please." "On the quiz tab." "Yes, sir." "...our very lovely scorer for tonight, Kitty Chatterjee." "You look absolutely gorgeous." "Come on up." "Wonderful." "Welcome." "Can we have a big round of applause for Kitty tonight?" "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "All right, my next question is for Bangalore." "Are you ready for this question?" "On Calcutta's suburban trains, what are the pen sellers called?" "Your time starts now." "This is a pass-on round..." "Yes?" "Lalu-Bhulus." "That is the right answer." "Big round of applause, please." "Thank you so much." "Kitty, two points for Bangalore."

"Two points for Bangalore." "Calcutta, the nationality of Christopher Columbus." "[boy] We guess he was Spanish." "I am so sorry, that's the incorrect answer." "The question now passes to Bangalore." "Italy." "Absolutely right." "Bangalore is on a roll tonight." "Who bowled him that first ball?" "Graham McKenzie." "That is perfectly right." "All right, Calcutta, what is the answer?" "1911." "Absolutely right." "May we have a big round of applause for Calcutta!" "Thank you." "This is a first." "A tie." "The reigning champions, Calcutta, and challengers Bangalore are both tied on 32 points." "As this is a winner-takes-all quiz," "I shall now have to ask a final tiebreaker question." "Are you ready?" "Bangalore, this tiebreaker question is for you." "What is the American popular slang for motels run by Indians?" "Most US hotels are run by Patels." "Potels." "What?" "[Brian] Your time is running out, Bangalore." "Oh, sorry." "Can you repeat the question?" "[Brian] Yes." "What is the American popular slang for motels run by Indians?" "Simple." "Potels." "Motels run by Patels." "Bangalore, that is the wrong answer." "Calcutta, it's your turn." "I believe the correct answer would be Patels." "That is absolutely right." "Calcutta have the right answer!" "Calcutta wins again!" "[cheering]" "Potels, not Patels, is the correct answer, sir." "Potels." "Potels, Calcutta, potels." "It's Patels." "It's a fix." "I knew it."

"It's a good college." "What are your plans?" "Plans?" "I mean career plans." "You're studying B-com?" "Hello?" "You're studying B-com, next year, MBA?" "Sir, I haven't really decided." "Well, that's a problem with today's boys." "Look at my Naina." "She's already preparing for her MBA entrance." "[sighs]" "Naina, let me go and check the tickets." "I'm so sorry." "He's not as bad as he sounds." "My father asks me the same questions." "[clears throat]" "Anyway, what was he saying about the tickets?" "Aren't you returning with us?" "No." "Uh..." "We're going to Jamshedpur to see my aunt." "So when...?" "Who knows?" "And us?" "Naman, just because a girl spends time with you on equal terms doesn't qualify for an "us."" "Do you even like me?" "You're oddly likable." "Or likable, which is odd." "On the quiz tab." "[laughing]" "Naman, if you don't mind, I have a suggestion." "What can you possibly add to this wonderful evening?" "Why don't you give Rita a call?" "She was Plan A, after all." "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings!" "Bloody master." "[rock music plays]" "[indistinct chatter over PA]" "Details?"

"[both unzipping pants]" "[Brian reads question]" "[sultry music]" "[moans quietly]" "[Rita] Listen, you can't keep calling me like this." "My parents have been wondering." "And you keep hanging up when anybody else picks up." "That's because I want to talk only to you." "Can I call you darling?" "Darling Rita." "Hmm." "You're looking beautiful." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello." "[Naman] You're looking beautiful." "Hmm..." "How do you know?" "Because girls look beautiful when they are angry." "But I don't even know what you look like." "In the fullness of time, at the appropriate juncture." "Hello?" "[distorted] At the appropriate juncture." "Hello?" "I can't-- [static]" "Please give me a clue."

"And do you know what?" "The stupid language of your stupid piece totally matched the stupid language of your stupid letter." "Stupid!" "So you're the one who's been calling me all this while." "Never ever call me again." "Coward." "At least she spoke to you face-to-face." "[rock music]" "♪ My baby left me ♪" "♪ She was mad ♪" "[Ajay] "Never ever call me again." "Coward."" "Fuckers." "With friends like you, who needs enemas?" "This is what I told you in the beginning." "Don't have anything to do with girls." "They are stupid." "How about your fling with Padma in Calcutta?" "The best thing to do is jerk her out." "She'll disappear from your heart as soon as you cum." "Don't worry, she's probably an untouchable anyway." "To the victory of sex." "Sex is truth." "In vino veritas." "There's truth in alcohol, too." "Forgive me, I lied to you in Calcutta." "At least you got laid, ra." "Padma ain't no Sylvia Kristel, but..." "That night after the quiz, her boyfriend had followed her to Calcutta to get time alone with her." "Miss Augusta let her go with me because Bernie told her we were harmless." "I took her to her boyfriend's hotel and waited while she went upstairs." "She took hours and hours to come back." "[laughter]" "At least somebody got laid!" "Hey." "Why chase after Nainas and Ritas when you have her?" "I wouldn't go there." "I would." "So what if she's got pimples." "Nice tits, nice arse." "Cover the face, fire the base." "I know I'm not invited here, but Rita told me what she said to you" "For a change, you aren't gloating." "Take a pew." "♪ Fuck you!" "♪" "♪ I'll be fine ♪" "I want green salad." "Sorry, sir, kitchen is closed." "But I want green salad." "I think you should go home now." "[Randy] I want green salad." "I want revenge." "Bloody leper Rita." "You'll get your revenge, baba." "[Ramu] "If you prick us, do we not bleed?" "If you tickle us, do we not laugh?"" ""If you poison us, do we not die?"" ""If you wrong us, shall we not revenge?"" "Shakespeare." "[Randy] I want..." "Randy!" "...green salad." "[Ramu] Come down." "Come down now." "[Ash] Please, what are you doing?" "But I want green fucking salad." "[Ash] Randy, please just come down." "Please." "No green." "No women." "No salad." "What's the point in living?" "[panicked chatter]" "Come down, ra." "Don't make a scene here." "[Ash] Please, Randy." "[Naman] Waiter, salad, now." "[Naman] It's coming."

"[silent mouthing]" "I've waited so long for this, Naman." "Where are you going, bastard?" "Sorry for you, Naman." "Very sorry." "I came here tonight because I loved you, despite the constant mocking and... underneath I thought that there was some affection for me." "I was so wrong." "Your arrogance is just a front for your ugliness." "Yes, Naman, you're ugly." "Rita was right." "You're nothing but a coward." "You think because you have all the answers you're so clever." "You don't." "And you're not." "Once your cheerleader friends grow up and see through you, you're going to be left all alone for the rest of your miserable life." "[starts motor]" "[turns off motor]" "What are you waiting for?" "Fuck off." "It's a long walk back." "I said, fuck off."

"I was coming back on a coach, luxury class, of course." "This sex bomb was in the seat next to me." "Male or female?" "She fell asleep with her head on my shoulders so I fiddled it." "She pretended to stay asleep." "So I stuck a finger in her pussy... [sniffs] ...and I smelled it." "Did it smell of fish?" "It was heavenly, ra, like your grandmom's freshly cooked biryani." "Veg or non-veg?" "Did you fuck her?" "[Brian reads question]" "Welcome, Bangalore." "[cheering]" "Welcome to the finals of the Annual Sagaya Mary Memorial Quiz." "Now, before we begin this event, let me inform you about certain shameful shenanigans at the Quiz Superstars event held in Calcutta." "Upset at being beaten by a superior team, the Bangalore team abused our hospitality and ran up a bill of 4,000 rupees, including two bottles of single malt." "[cheers and applause]" "[Brian] So this is for you, Naman Bala." "You and your entire team are henceforth banned from this quiz." "If I had my way, from every other quiz." "Please leave the hall." "Now!" "Now." "Will the other finalists please come up on stage?" "What the hell are you doing, Naman?" "If this is your apology, then you're too late for it, trust me." "[man] Give him a chance, man." "[quietly] There is a word... [microphone feedback]" "There is a word in the English language, derived from the Latin, of course, that is an expression of contrition." "I have committed an offense." "And perception of that offense can compound over time... otherwise known as compounding remorse." "What I am doing here is to compunctulate." "No, to recompunctulate." "I have decided." "What?" "I'll marry Ash and make an honest woman out of her." "Where did that come from?" "If you're looking for context, young apprentice, the events of the last few days must not have escaped your notice." "She is Brahman." "While Ramu here gets ready to get deflowered by a bull, unless he's already lost his hymen to a milkman or other assorted menial help." "It was a bull... that broke my foot." "Where was I?" "Ramu was getting fucked." "No, I was in Ash, but I will be once we are joined together in holy matrimony." "Hi, honchos." "Coming for alcoholic libations at the dhaba?"
