"Please come to me." "Where are you?" "You can't come here." "You're my life." "Try to understand." "Don't you feel our love is more important than terrorism?" "I'm too far gone... it's too late." "I won't let you go." "I won't let you go." "It's not too late." "What are you doing?" "Don't shoot!" "I need permission sir." "All the army cars used in the parade are to be checked." "What are you saying?" "I even want to check the tanks." "That will salute the President." "This is not a fair demand." "Sir listen to me."

"She won't do anything if she sees me." "I can stop her." "Then why have you come here?" "You should've gone to Sundernagar!" "What do I do about these wedding cards?" "Should I write Meghna's name next to yours?" "What about Sundernagar?" "Why should I tell you?" "I don't know there's some place behind the bus stand!" "So?" "Who told you about this?" "The children and I overheard on the phone." "Happy?" "Now answer my question." "What do I do about these?" "Search him!" "Who are you?" "What are you doing?" "He's not a terrorist!" "What will happen tomorrow?" "I'm not one of them." "I don't know if they make bombs." "Where are the explosives?" "I'm not one of them!" "You gave them shelter." "Did you keep her in your house?"

"You're looking beautiful." "Do you know why?" "Because nobody is more beautiful than a martyr." "It's not essential that you take birth in a better society." "But it's essential that you give others a better society." "Who are you?" "What are you doing in this van?" "Where is Meghna?" "Where is Meghna?" "Where is she?" "Don't come forward." "Why?" "Don't come close to me." "I once said, I'd never leave you." "I have come." "This is the truth." "Don't touch me!" "Don't come with me if you don't want to." "Take me with you." "Take me along." "Take me along." "Take me too along." "You love me." "Just once say that you love me." "Just once say that you love me." "Say it just once!"
