"We're screwed, yaar, SCREWED!" "We're SO screwed!" "His own dad wouldn't trust that Baldie, how could you?" "How much can we run?" "Hurry!" "Give me a second." "Dammit!" "Sachin, look!" "Zaramud could have picked any car." "There was a Lancer, Accent, Toyota And a simple Esteem too." "But the moron went for the Benz." "If we gotta run, we gotta do it in style!" "It's an automatic." "What are you, Feroz Khan from Qurbani?" "There are no gears!" "AUTOMATIC?" "I can't drive an automatic!" "What are you stopping for?" "I don't know, it's automatic!" "Move it, move it!" "Go, go, go!" "The truck's gonna ram into us" "They call us the linewallas." "You want to splurge on a mobile but not pay the bill, come to us." "Don't want to pay the bill, come to us." "We will set you up with a duplicate SIM card." "Our source for raw materials is pretty simple too." "Lamington Road." "The Microsoft of Mumbai." "You get every damn software there." "Even the ones not made yet!" "This is how it is, get the software." "Get anybody's SIM card." "And clone it." "We're ready with the card." "The customer, with the cash" "I'm making this international call from my mobile!" "What do you think, huh?" "Have a blast!" "And why not." "It's someone else's SIM card!" "Talk all you want." "After a month, chuck the SIM." "And is the original SIM owner in for a shock when he sees the bill!" "Never trust a guy you don't know." "That's the rule of our game!" "Who told you about us?" "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Yeah?" "And we broke that rule and dealt with Baldie." "Use it within limits." "Thank you." "Sachin-bhai I got my hands on a brand new model." "A gift from me to you." "We don't use mobile phones." "They're bad for health." "The radiation causes cancer." "Put it here, your brain is screwed." "Put it in your pocket, your heart is screwed." "And if you put it here." " Your next generation is screwed!" "God knows what Baldie did with the SIM." "Maybe his whole neighborhood had a go on the phone." "Or maybe he spent wild nights on adult hotlines!" "He rang up a bill of nine lakhs in one week!" "The phone company went into shock!" "They dialed 1-0-0 and screwed us." "Zaramud, wake up." "We are screwed!" "Wake up!" "Wake up, fatass!" "Run!" "Break everything and run!" "Sachin, calm down..." "Baldie blabbed about us to the cops." "They know all about us!" "We have to run!" "And trash everything." "Can't leave this photo behind, they'll identify us." "One minute." "Where in hell did you find Baldie?" "We gotta destroy everything!" "Okay-okay-okay!" "What do you think you're doing?" "What about the data?" "What if the cops get their hands on it?" "Sachin, run!" "Bad judgment." "Bad shot." "We gave an easy catch, but it was dropped." "We got lucky, call it a 'life.'" "Luckily, nothing happened to me." "Of course, nothing ever happens to Fatass anyway." "No point looking for ones and twos in life." "We have to hit a century in life." "We have to do something big." "What will you do?" "Something exciting..." "Something big..." "How about a multiplex?" "Maybe something smaller." "Something like a... coffee-shop." "What?" "Like a tea-stall, you want to be a 'Thambi'?" "I'm not talking about a Madras Cafe." "I'm thinking... a cool joint, where friends greet, lovers meet... and between them, a cup of coffee." "Here, Thambi, one tea for me, please." "I'll open my coffee-shop one day." "The telephone company reports that the..." "SIM cloning racket has been going on for a while." "It is believed that two criminals are responsible." "But where are they?" "Who are they?" "Let's ask our special witness." "It was raining computers!" "Computer here, computer there..." "Did you get a look at the criminals?" "Oh yes, there were two of them." "Like Laurel and Hardy." "What were you doing at that time?" "Er..." "I was... um... taking a leak." "The cops were behind us in full force." "But the real problem lay ahead of us." "The man whose car we stole in style and smashed in style " "I can't call him a bastard, that's too decent for him." "His name is AGM." "A Mumbai bookie." "He will hurt us as much as we hurt his car." "He will rip us apart." "Find them, tear them to pieces!" "Rip, tear... what's the difference!" "It is us he's talking about anyway!" "What, you're waiting for a formal letter?" "Scram!" "Did the hippo say anything about the money?" "AGM-bhai." "Shut it, you ape!" "Hey!" "Can't you see I'm working here?" "Keep it down!" "Where is the money?" "I don't have any." "No?" "The doctor is getting an operation." "Now, we're going to get one!" "You completely screwed my car, but you're both in one piece!" "This -key -is all that's left!" "Now where will I put it?" "Sir..." "Shut up, moron!" "Answer only when asked." "Who was driving the car?" "He was." " He was." "Shut up!" "Sir, I really don't know." "It all happened suddenly." "Anyway sir, we'll buy you a new car." "What color do you prefer?" "You scum!" "No bank will give you a loan to buy even a bicycle," "You'll buy me a car?" "You caused the damage, now you make amends." "I can give you some discount." "Thank you, sir." "30 lakh rupees." "Huh?" "Thirty?" "Err, it wasn't a plane, just a car." "I'll shove a plane down your throat!" "That car was precious for bhai." "He confiscated it from a famous cricketer." "Did I ask you to interrupt, dimwit?" "Shut it." "So where was I?" "You'll pay for the damages." "So, 40 lakh." "Sir, you just said 30!" "50." "Open your mouth again, it will go up to 60!" "Zaramud, shut up." "Zara what?" "Zaramud." "Mood what?" "That's his name." "It's a long story." "It's my nickname." "As a kid, I used to ask girls if they were in the mood" "Shut up!" "Listen, numskull." "You're just petty thieves." "Where will you get money from?" "That's what we're trying to say." "I have a payment plan for you." "This is how it's gonna be." "From now on you work for me." "You do whatever I say." "Say no, and I'll make mincemeat of you and throw a party." "And that's how we had our career change." "We were our own masters, now we are slaves to someone else." "So long as AGM has the ball, forget scoring a century, it's hard enough sticking around on the pitch." "What am I doing here?" "Y2K conference." "Y2K..." "it's all bullshit." "I should be at home" "Watching TV, betting on the cricket match." "Should I bet?" "Yes, maybe." "God, show me a signal." "Some signal." "Any signal." "If this label comes off in one piece" "If the waiter doesn't trip over the wire" "If the marker doesn't fall" "Great!" "Three signs!" "Now I have to bet!" "You see, I have a theory on Luck." "Everyone has the same amount of Luck just at different times." "You just have to identify the time when it is your time." "For that, there are signs you need to look for." "Get what I'm saying?" "Who the hell are you?" "I just told you..." "I'm from Delhi." "My name's Rahul." "I'm in Mumbai for a conference." "I thought I'd stop by and bet" "This look like a department store to you?" "You think you can just waltz in here?" "Err, I just came to place a bet." "Who the hell told you about me?" "Bhuval Ram Kuber." "How much filth will you spread in Delhi?" "You can't afford a cigarette, but you jumped to gamble!" "You want to bet like a tiger but you hide like a rat when you lose!" "Kuber-ji, I beg you, give me two more days." "Just two days?" "That's all?" "As you wish." "Till then I'll pick up your TV, then your wife" "Don't lie, God will punish you." "Just two days, Kuber-ji." "Dimple, shut this thing up" "Hello!" "Hello, Bhuval Ram Kuber this side." "Who is speaking?" "Your mother's husband!" "Hello." "Hello." "If you say hello once more, I'll stuff the phone down your throat!" "Oh!" "AGM-bhai." "Jai Hind!" "I was just thinking about you and" "Cut the crap." "Do you know a Rahul?" "I know half-a-dozen Rahuls, each worse than the other." "This one says you referred me to him, for betting." "Oh, the one that talks all that theory crap?" "Yeah, he was giving me the crap too." "What's his credit?" "But he has a car, a house." "Guess he's worth around 20-25 lakh." "He begged me for a reference in Mumbai." "So I referred you to him." "So you want to bet?" "Which team?" "India." " How much?" "Four lakhs." "What?" "It takes at least 20 lakhs to bet in Bombay." "20 lakhs!" "That's way too much." "You've been chewing my head with your stupid theory." "What happened to your signs now?" "Don't you have confidence in your own theory?" "What are you afraid of?" " No no, 20 is too much." "What can you get with 4 lakhs?" "Put in 20 and if India wins, you win crores." "And you'll get your winnings immediately." "Even if you lose, I'll give you three months to pay back." "Usually I don't even give a week." "Bhiku!" "Yes sir." "Make a new account for this gentleman." "What's your bet?" "Taxi!" "New Zealand has won the match by 48 runs." "The series is leveled at 2-2." "We now have to wait and see who'll win the decider." "Every cricket match is fixed one way or the other." "You mean to say this series was fixed before it even started?" "Yes." "Of the five matches, India wins two and New Zealand wins two." "The final will be decided in Delhi." "All this was decided before the series even started." "There are two religions in India:" "Films and Cricket." "Whether every film has a script or not, every match surely has a script." "Year 2000." "The calendar has also scored a century... century but AGM hasn't even let us bat." "Seems like Internet is the new fad." "These new post offices are mushrooming everywhere." "Zaramud says there is a lot of money in this but I think this will also pass." "Unlike 'my coffee-shop.'" "And now this AGM has also opened an Internet center." "Internet, come here!" "Internet's just a front The real deal is upstairs." "Betting, gambling, debt collection..." "There is no emailing going on here, just a lot of scamming." "What new crap is this?" "It's not crap, it's an Excel sheet." "I have 'sorted' everything." "You did what?" "All the receivables are organized in descending order." "This is the list of people that owe you money." "The right column is the principal amount and the left is the interest." "Did you see that, you moron?" "How many times have I told you to study!" "Are you really an Engineer?" "Well, I could have been one." "I went to college for a year, but in the second year" "Hang on." "I prepared this list." "Whatever." "There is no prize distribution going on here." "We got work to do." "And bones to break of whoever that hasn't paid up." "Start with this one." "What you staring at, ass?" "Dial Kewal Pandey's number, now." "Kewal Pandey?" " He's a bloody Bhojpuri actor but thinks he's a Hollywood star." "Sir, he disconnected the call." "How dare he?" "He cuts AGM's call?" "He thinks I'm an idiot?" "And this one, another loser from Delhi." "Go ahead, have a sweet." " No sir, I'm on diet." "I can see that!" "What was I saying?" "Yes, this loser had come from Delhi with his calculations." "Said his calculations are never wrong." "But his calculator stopped working just in my case." "Did I crack a joke, you idiot?" "Dial his number now." "I don't have his number." "Take it, take it." "This bugger too never picks up his phone." "Every time some chick comes on line and blabbers something in English." "I'm going to stop giving loans to people outside Mumbai." "There you go, it's the chick again." "Sir, it's an answering machine." "You need to leave a message after the beep" "After what?" " Beep." " Leave what?" "Message." " Oh message, okay." "AGM this is, calling from Bombay city." "Mumbai." "Yes, Mumbai city." "Back call." "Number" "6497272." "Call back." "Good night." "Bye." "Do the 'take care.'" "I'll slap you so hard, Ganpati will pop out of your ears." "Listen Engineer, I want my money back." "Do what you have to." "Break his legs, arms, whatever." "Just get me my money, with interest." "Is that clear?" "What happened?" " You mean..." "I am going?" "Yes." " But why me?" "You have so many men, send one of them." "These bloody losers are good for nothing." "Stop acting and get working." "If you don't want to go alone take this thing along." " No no!" "I don't like Delhi." "I'll die of heat in October and of cold in March." "Cold in March?" " They are all cheats." " Bloody thieves." "Look away for a moment and your bags vanish." "Big-time showoffs too!" "They go around in flashy red cars." "Crank up their stereos." "Play Bhangra remixes with their windows rolled down." "And there is no variety in women." "What do they call them?" "DTM. 'Down-market Turned Modern'" "Like I said no variety... 1 ...just two names:" "Pooja or Neha." "You will go to Delhi!" "All in." "I'll match your bet." "And raise by another lakh." "I am sure you are bluffing. 100%." "You are not that good a player." "Just give me a sign." "Anything." "Ah!" "Ruffle your hair, clear your throat." "I need two lakhs." "I'll return it in five minutes." "No way." " Look, I'm winning after four months." "I'll pay you back with double interest." "Forget interest." "Don't mess with JC." "You do know who he is, right?" "A Rahul... there is always another option -you can fold!" "...there is always another option -you can fold!" "Learn to limit your losses." "Okay, fine." "My car's outside." "It's yours!" "That piece of shit?" "Shit?" "You don't how much mileage it gives." "It's vintage." "Five minutes." "Please!" "Show!" "God, if I win, I'll give you 10% of my winnings." "Okay, make it 15%." "Fine, let's make a deal. 25%." "Thank you." "You got lucky today." "I'll get you one day. 100%." "See, I have a theory on luck" "One large whiskey." "Cheers." "Sir, are you from Bombay?" "Yes." "You must be into films then." "Why?" " Sir, you are from Bombay, that's why." "Is everyone from Delhi a politician?" "I meant you have a good body and style" "Hey, I just saw this circle ten minutes ago." "Are you taking us for a ride?" "You must be kidding, sir." "Delhi has a lot of traffic circles." "It's not like Bombay, with its narrow lanes." "And let me tell you, I am not like others..." "I will be your driver as long as you are in Delhi." "Hello Sir, how are you?" "You've come here too now?" "Scoot!" "You want a VCD?" "I have all kinds of films, Hollywood, Bollywood." "Blue films too." "Single, double, triple, what do you prefer?" "Should I go to office or watch your blue film?" "It's not MY blue film sir, it's foreign." "Get lost!" "Sir please, buy something." "Why don't you buy a new briefcase?" "Yours is way past its prime." "Why should I risk buying anything from 1 you when there are good shops out there?" "Sir, this is nothing for you." "You take such big risks in gambling." "Who told you about gambling?" "Stay away from my office peons!" "Okay, fine, but please buy something at least." "I have a lot of things to sell." "The day I buy something from you, I swear I'll quit gambling." "Okay, if not for you, why don't you buy a gift... maybe for your wife?" "Oh crap, It's Janhavi's birthday." "Go away!" "How much?" " 15." " Cheat!" "I don't have change." "Crap, I forgot Jahnavi's birthday!" "She'll never come back home now." "Come on, let's go!" " Why?" "Look around." "A cup of tea here will ...cost as much as a whole meal outside." "Why don't you, for once... think as big as your size?" " Do you have money to think big?" "Do you have money to think big?" " Of course!" "'I have the AGM power." "Now you go get it.'" "Are you crazy?" "His credit card was only for flight tickets." "Don't mess with him, he's a lunatic." "Let's just go." "I'm not comfortable with this whole 5-star culture." "Why can't I get the suite?" "Sir, it's not in the system." "Do you know who my Uncle is?" "He can buy this hotel if he wants." "But I checked the system..." "If you don't value life, it's your call." "But I have a lot of life to live." "Let's go!" "Is that the way you treat your customers?" "I was booked for the penthouse suite." "And you're giving me the regular room!" "Where's the manager?" "Sir, I am the floor manager." "Neha, go on, take a break." "What's the problem, Sir?" "You are the problem." "When you don't know how to run a business, why don't you just shut it down?" "Sir, please mind your language." "You mind your language." "You know who I am?" "Are you done?" "I need to check in." "I could buy your hotel just like that." "Where is the owner?" "Please calm down;" "I can check the system again if you'd like." "What system, you bloody bitc..." "Take him outside -gently." "What happened?" " Nothing really, just a small accident." "He'll be fine." "Can I get a room?" " Of course." "I'll just check." "I'm sorry, you just lost an important customer because of me." "Don't worry about it." "Is he okay?" "Should be." "Zaramud is with him." "Ma'am should I Neha, you take a break." " I'll handle this." "She's Neha and you are Pooja?" "How do you know?" "Wild guess." "I mean, your name tag..." "Mr. Atmaram Gyanshekhar Machve?" "Friends call me Sachin." "Jahnavi, are you home?" "Jahnavi, are you home?" "Mom, go on in." "Wait, let me in." "Go away, why did you come here?" "Just five minutes Jahn." "I'll leave after that." "Please." "Why do you keep coming here?" "I told you, I don't want to talk to you." "I've come to surprise you on your birthday." "You remembered my birthday NOW?" "I went to buy a gift for you and I got delayed." "Happy Birthday." "What is it?" " Go on, open it." "Your first mobile phone!" "And the tiniest in the market." "This one doesn't even have an antenna." "And there are games, like Snake." "And more important," "I've set a special ring tone for you." "Oh this one's for me." "Same phone from Matrix, Hello Mr. Anderson." "It's more like you went to get yourself a new phone, and you picked one for me too." "No, no, it's the other way round." "I went to get one for you" "Alright, if you want, you can take this." "See the problem is, this phone has a lot of features." "It's got Snake II and your phone has Snake I." "I thought maybe you can master Snake I and then graduate to Snake II." "No, I don't want it In fact keep this as well." "Please... please." "This must have cost a lot." "Well, it's not your birthday every day." "Where did you get the money for this?" "Rahul, have you started again?" "When I said I quit, I meant it." "I swear." "Is that the truth?" " God promise." "Let's go home." " No way!" " Okay can I sleep here tonight?" "No!" "Jahn..." "What is it?" "Can I come in and sleep?" "I'll be very quiet." "I'll sleep in one corner of the bed." "You won't even know I am there." "I'll be very quiet." "Jahn, please!" "Shut up and sleep." "Mom will wake up." "No respect for a man around here." "Hi Neha." "Is Pooja around?" "Now this is cool." "Ring a bell and here comes a pretty girl." "And a beautiful lady is here." "If only life were so simple!" "Ring a bell and your wish comes true!" "I'd ring my own and make a wish." "Point." "I'm staying up because I'm on the night shift." "What's your excuse?" "My 'excuse' is spread all over my bed!" "Want to go for a ride?" "Maybe a coffee?" "At this time." "FYI, this is Delhi, not Bombay." "Nights are nights here." "Anyway, I can't leave the hotel." "Who's asking you to leave the hotel?" "So this is your idea of a ride?" "What are you talking about?" "It's beautiful, isn't it?" "Sure, I know." "So this is how you spin all the girls, huh?" "Well, not all, only the special ones." "So how many special ones so far?" "Around 380" "Just kidding." "None so far" "Why not?" " Because I have to make a century first." "What century?" "This is terrible coffee!" "Your hotel's a five-star just on paper." "What's wrong with the coffee?" "It's fine." "People have forgotten how good coffee tastes -drinking crap like this." "In my coffee-shop people will rediscover coffee." "Coffee-shop?" "Like a tea stall?" "No, a coffee parlor." "A cool hang out spot." "Tea stall?" "!" "Tell me this do you know any." "Place in Delhi that serves good coffee?" "Why just Delhi, any city for that matter?" "None." "That's what my coffee-shop is about." "You'll get every kind of coffee there is." "People will totally dig it." "There's good money in it too." "I think it's a really good idea." "It is." "I've always wanted to do something on my own, too." "Really?" "I thought you were happy with your job." "No way." "Who wants to work for someone else?" "I'd rather work for myself." "Point." "Jai Hind." "Welcome, Mr. Rahul" "Kuber!" "How are you?" "I'm fine." " I was just thinking about you." "About returning your money." "I like it!" "You got the money ready?" " Yes, of course." "What a gentleman!" "I'll write you a cheque." "Got a pen on you?" "You'll write me a cheque?" "What do you think I am, a bank?" "And he is an ATM?" "Dimple, take him." " Please!" "Wait." "Kuber, give me a week." "I promise I'll pay you back." "100 percent." " Dimple!" "Wait, wait." "Keep my car till then." "This piece of shit?" "What are you saying?" "It gives great mileage!" "I'll have to tow it with a rope." "Checking!" "Kuber, what are you doing?" "What is this?" "Mobile?" "You didn't buy this with a cheque, did you?" "You have money to buy this, but not for me?" "Dimple." "Isn't this a great phone?" "It's the same model they used in The Matrix." "Hello, Mr. Anderson." "Oh, Hollywood, no less!" "What else does it have?" "It's got memory, ring tones, WAP" "WAP?" "Actually, I don't know what that is." "Some new technology." "It's got Snake II as well." "Snake?" "It's a game." " It's got games?" "Wow!" "Well, this is mine now." "Please, this phone was for my wife's birthday." "Look, if I don't get 7 lakhs in 7 days, God help you only." "Oh God!" "Shera!" "Dimple, what do you think the snake will do?" "Fine, you do the talking." "Is Rahul in?" " Yes?" "Hi, I'm Sachin, this is my friend Zaramud." "We've come from Mumbai." "What do you want?" "Can we come in?" "Sorry, not interested." "What, he thought we're salesmen?" "You want polite, eh?" "Bull." "Scare him." "Think you know more than me, huh?" "You think I'm doing this for the first time?" " Fine, you do it." "Let me deal with him." " I told you I'm not interested." "Not interested?" "Who's asking?" "See!" "This is how it's done!" "You get it now?" "Where's the money?" "I don't have any money." "What the hell!" "But I have a solution." "First can I have a glass of water?" "What?" "Are we guests or are you?" "Zara, get him some water." "Why is it always me?" " Get it, will you." "You're always ordering me around!" "Now where is the kitchen." "And where will I find a glass?" "Thank you." "Here's your water." "You're being too easy on him." "Are you done?" "Can we talk now?" "Please give me a week's time." "I'll repay you the full amount." "We don't have a week's time." "Okay, Friday?" "No, can't wait till Friday." "Saturday?" "Are you frigging bargaining with us?" "He is acting too smart!" " Friday?" "I'll pay up by Friday, 100%." "You don't have money now, how will you get it by Friday?" "He'll steal somewhere." "I have a plan." " What plan?" "Who do you think you are, playing suspense games with us?" "Speak up or I'll beat the crap out of you." "Let me handle this." "There's a game on Friday." "I'll place a bet on it win and pay you back." "What a great plan!" " What if you lose?" "It's not possible." "I have it all figured out." "I've calculated everything." "I'm confident." "So you left your confidence in Delhi when you came to bet in Bombay?" "Sometimes shit happens." "But this time, I'm sure." "So, Mr. Psychic, you know everything, huh?" "Fine, tell me what's going to happen next, in the match." "You want me to predict right now?" "Right now!" " Yes." "Let's see." "Saurav Ganguly... is playing his shots..." "We can see that too." "My calculation says he'll try to go for a big shot." "And he is most likely to get caught and get out." "Out?" "Really?" "Not a four, not a dot ball." "But straight out!" "Let's see." "So, Friday?" "Fine." "You have till Friday." "No more excuses later." "But see, the match is on Friday so would Saturday be all right?" "Now shut up." "Friday." "Friday late night, maybe?" "Nice jacket." "Whose is it?" "My wife's." "It fits well." "It's bloody cold in Delhi." "Can I borrow it?" " Sure." "I'll return it on Friday." "And keep the money ready." "You have anything in my size?" " Let's go." "Okay, just listen to me." "I'm sorry I overreacted yesterday." "Thanks for the gift." "It's very cute." "You don't have to get me gifts." "I just want you to be truthful." "What?" "Unbelievable, you are quiet!" "You, of all people!" "I have to go now." "Bye." "Bye." "She cut." "She again?" "Hello, who's this?" "Mr. Bhuval Ram Kuber this side." "Talk to me." " Who?" "Mr. Bhuval Ram Kuber, import-export business king!" "Where's Rahul?" "Rahul's not my wife." "He doesn't tell me his whereabouts." "This is Rahul's phone!" "It was." "It's mine now." "Are you a thief?" "What?" "!" "Rahul took my money and you call me a thief?" "What nonsense!" "That's not possible." "What, you don't believe?" "It is truth." "Fine tell me, how much does he owe you?" "I'll pay you." "Now you are talking business." "Seven lakhs only." "Seven lakhs!" "?" "That's just what he owes me." "There are many others." "Is Rahul around?" "At the moment, no." "But I'll tell him you called." "By the way, who are you?" " Nobody." "Again she cut." "Hello." "Hello Kuber, did anyone call?" "What am I, your secretary?" "Kuber, please, if anyone calls don't answer." "Now he cut." "Hello." "I told you not to answer calls." "But it is you on the phone." "How do you know that?" " From your voice." "The voice comes later." "Come on, please." "From now on, do not answer." "Please." "Well, I already answered one." "What?" "Who?" "I don't know." "I asked, but she wouldn't say." "She was quite angry." "She?" "!" " Yes, female." "The name on the screen said something..." "like January..." "Jahnavi!" "Kuber!" "Goddamn you!" "Talk with respect!" " Sorry, Kuber." "He cut again." "You lied to me!" " No, Jahnavi, I did not lie." "Listen, I really don't want to talk to you." "Jahnavi, please listen to me." "I can explain everything." "No need." "I'm tired of your explanations." "You were getting me gifts!" "Is this your gift your lies?" "Wait!" "Jahnavi, this is from way before" "I trusted you." "I apologized." "I even felt guilty." "Thank God, that moron picked up the phone." "Don't ever call me again." "Come on, cut the drama now!" "So when is he paying us?" "Friday, right?" "How long till Friday?" "What do we do till Friday?" "Hi Pooja, I'm ready." "You are looking ready." "Where are you going?" "How would I know, you are taking me." " What?" "Give me a cigar." "Aren't you playing today?" "Not really." "I am not getting good signs from 'above.'" "Didn't you go back to London?" "No." "Where there is cricket, there I am." "That's the real game." "Are you betting anything on the next match?" "I'm thinking about it." "You got any tips?" "Ha!" "Tips are for waiters not for punters." "I am playing like crap today." "Let me go and lose some more." "Who are you playing against?" "There's this new guy, Dev." "He's on a hot streak." "You know him?" "Oh, The Drummer Boy." "New kid on the block." "Keep an eye on his fingers." "...When he is bluffing, he drums faster." "Really?" "If that's true, it'll really help me." "Is this how you figure people out?" "Every player has a telltale sign." "There is no one who does not give away something." "So that's how you beat me last time." "What's my tell?" "That's not fair." "If I tell you how will I win next time?" "Hello, Shuvo Jonmodin speaking." "Hold on please." "Okay, Mr. Rahul, I'll leave now." "Please do it as soon as possible - in 1 or 2 days." "Sure, 2 to 4 days." "Please talk fast." "Incoming calls are also charged, you know." "Good morning Mr. Vidyarthi." "What are you doing here?" "Nice office, man." "Hey, why don't you swipe some foreign money from your office?" "Have you lost it?" "Anyway, do you have the cash?" "Today?" "Today isn't Friday." "It will be." "Very soon." "We are so tired of hanging around in Delhi... so we came to give you some grief." "But if you don't have the cash by Friday," "AGM is not going to go easy on you." "What are we gonna do till Friday?" " Good question." "Like some tea?" "Tea?" "Why not coffee?" "Okay, let's go." "Shut the hell up." "We are not here for tea and coffee." "That's your problem." "If I am nice, you take advantage." "Sir, did Jonmodin sir leave?" " Come after lunch." "Come later." "Sir, the dollars need to be converted." "I said come after lunch." " Yes sir." "Friday." "I need money by Friday." "Please don't come here again." "Let's go." "It was no fun at all." "We should've roughed him up a bit." "We didn't look like gangsters." "We looked like we were asking for a donation." "Wait." "What?" "Dollar convert." " Come later." "Let's go back!" "You can't fool me every time." "Give me the money." "What money?" " Come later." "Briefcase?" "Files and office stuff." "Please don't create a scene here." "I'll lose my job." "Open it!" "Show me what's inside." "Okay, I'll show you." "There is nothing." "See." "Nothing, huh?" "Zara, check it." "Why are you worried if there is nothing inside?" "There is nothing." "This is my office, please!" "Look properly." "What do we have here?" "Smartass!" "That is not my money." "Then we don't have a problem at all." "Please, this belongs to one of my customers." "If he doesn't get it back, I am screwed." "Rahul Vidyarthi, you owe AGM money... that's my headache, you owe your customer money, that's your headache." "We con the world and you are trying to con us?" "Listen, I have a plan." "I'll triple this money." "Guaranteed." "Three times or five, you are not getting this back." "But, I'll be so screwed." "Pal, you were screwed the day you bet with AGM." "Let's go." "My jacket..." "Zaramud, please, please..." "Sounds good!" "Let's meet up for tea then." "Move it." "Let's get out of here." "Don't worry." "We'll be out in a flash." "How much longer to the airport?" "Why are you going through crappy roads?" "Take the highway." "There is heavy work on the highways." "That guy is visiting right..." "Bill Kilton." "The whole of Delhi is being swept clean." "They can swept the whole world." "Don't worry, this is a short cut." "Now what the hell is this?" "Who left these carts on the road?" "I should've said bye to Pooja properly." "Why just bye?" "Why not 'I love you' too?" "What are you talking about?" "You are definitely in love, son!" "It's not like that." "She was nice to us." "And she helped us lot." "Us?" "Just you!" "You are the hero!" "Oh, you are blushing now?" "So sweet, you are turning pink." "Should we start a song and dance?" "A romantic number?" "I meet you in my dreams every night..." "That's not good." "How about..." "Zara, look, looks just like our bag." "Shit, it is our bag!" "AGM will break our bones." "He'll break our bones and crush them." "I have an idea." " Won't work." "At least hear me out." "What if we" "Not happening." "Okay, how about we" "Do you want to die?" "What if we go to." " Won't work." "There's no way out." "Except one." "I can't believe it!" "I just can't believe it!" "We can't help it if everyone in Delhi is a crook." "Is everyone from Bombay an idiot?" "You think you can steal some more from your office?" "You think your dad owns this place?" "Enough." "Let's discuss this outside." "There's nothing left to discuss." "I know, but you said something about tripling money." "What was that about?" "Even that needs money." "What's three times zero?" "It's still zero!" "Okay, relax now." "I'll do something about the money." "What was that idea?" "You were talking about?" "What?" "Your plan?" "Right!" "My plan." "We'll bet on the next cricket match and we will win." "Well not exactly but yeah, something like that." "If I had the money now I'd have tripled it." "Guaranteed!" "So you know who is going to win the match?" "No!" "Oh man, we're SO screwed!" "But I know who knows who will win the match." "Who?" "JC!" "Who the hell is JC?" "He's a rich businessman." "And a big gambler too." "He is the guy when it comes to cricket betting." "And I hear he fixes matches." "He bets millions." "You think he'll wait for the result?" "So?" "So?" "He's from London but is here in Delhi for this cricket series." "And he is staying in the same hotel as you." "So?" "So, we bet on the same team that he does." "And?" "And?" "And what?" "That's your plan?" "Yup!" "Excuse me." "Where's the 'plan' in this plan?" "But how do we know who JC is betting on?" "You are the thugs." "Go figure." "We're screwed!" "Yeah man." "We're SO screwed!" "Wake up." "Zaramud, what the..." "Get off me!" "Listen, I have a plan." "Hello, Rahul?" "Jonmodin here." "Hello, Mr. Jonmodin." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "My dollars haven't been converted yet." "Really?" "Let me check and get back to you." "Don't you worry." " Please." "No problem, Mr. Jonmodin." "You again?" "Got the money?" "No." "But we have a plan." "For this plan to work I have to do a lot of pleading." "No!" " Hear me out at least!" " No way!" "Please Pooja, you're the only one who can help me out." "You should be ashamed!" "You only just met me and you're asking for a favor?" "Hey, I had only 'just met' you when..." "I helped you with that nasty customer." "You owe me one!" "That's cheap!" "You're asking for a return favor?" "No, not really." "Look, you don't know me so well today." "But one day, we'll be very close and then you'll want to help me." "But I don't want your help then, I want it now -in advance." "Are you serious?" "I could get into serious trouble here." "Pooja, you could get into trouble -future." "I am already in trouble - present." "It will be fine, trust me!" "Trust you?" "Your name is all I know about you" "I don't even know what you do." "What do you do, anyway?" "Err... when people don't pay up, I collect from them." "That's to say, I collect from people when they don't pay up." "You are a goon?" "Goon?" "Of course not!" "Mine is more of an administrative job." "Get it?" "Yes, I get it." "I thought you were a nice guy." "Why, thanks!"
