When your call came, do you know what

all things came flowing to my mind?

Fish curry at the toddy shop...

...festival at the Kallu Para church,

Pathalam Balan's music show.

2,000 Dollars, Isaac doctor

had told, not to send a penny!

Strict order...

...even the amount of urine you are

spilling out there, we get the details here!

The doctor very well knows it,

I'll be the one...

...who will be helping you,

in which ever manner.

Hey, don't you know

the attitude of your Father...

...then my manager job will

be at stake! At Kumbanad.

Then, I also, will be at that place,

at the hell like you. Sorry Joekutta.

Korah, last time

where did we lie like this?

That day was also

a full moon was it not?

Moon, I don't remember that.

Without bikini!

Will there be any nude

beach like that in India?

Yesterday, night also

I tried to tune that beach...

...not even a single scene came,

when in dire need!

Not bad...spacious rooms!

Half earth distance from here to US.

Here, there is no one to

control us is it not Korah?

No one to help also.

To go back

at least we need, 2,000 Dollars.

Whom to ask? Who would give?

You had disgusted all of them.

Who? Me?

- No...Me!

At least if there were

1000 Dollars, I would have gone!

Then what about me?

I'll send you ticket,

on reaching there.

For that, I'll go,

does it make any difference?

Okay then you go!

Must call on reaching there.

This 1,000 Dollars,

is it really a big money!

Korah get up man!

Wake up.

"Not a penny left in hand"

"Not a penny left in hand"

"Not a penny left to

buy a mere square meal!"

"Not a penny left to

buy a mere square meal!"

"Not a penny left in hand"

"No one, to borrow.

No gold to pledge"

"No one, to borrow.

No gold to pledge"

"Beloved on seeing you,

bee stings in my heart"

"Beloved on seeing you,

bee stings in my heart"

"Not a penny left in hand"

"Not a penny left to

buy a mere square meal!"

Uncle, will you give me, mother's

new number, I do not have with me.

Why are you not saying anything?

"The stomach is empty"

"Just wandering here and there"

"The stomach is empty"

"Just wandering here and there"

"You screaming paisa!

Your stomach is left empty"

"You screaming paisa!

Your stomach is left empty"

"Not a penny left in hand"

Those very old tasty combinations

which had excited Akhilesh's taste buds.

We are going to watch,

the visit of Akhilesh, to this place...

...in today's Leaders Choice.

I'm on waiting dude.

For that why do you want to scare,

by speaking English?

If it is 'no' means no need,

I can very well control for a day.

That is not mine!

That gas is from the tap! No water!

Bye the by, we have not met.

I'm Lyoid Fernandez, Anglo-Indian.

Grand Father was White, Grand Mother

hailing from Kumballangi. A cross!

Do you want a smoke, it is best

for tension. Can I take a smack!

Want girls?

No what, and where is!

Ladies, but it has to be night.

They will wear the nighty and come.

Then boys!

That is also there!

Can you give me some paper?

- Only your passport left as paper.

This bloody Indian closet,

which ass-ole had invented this!

One hole and this kind of sitting.

Will create lot of problem

if it does not fall in to this hole exactly!

By the time you break your legs,

...be cooperative,

Johns...will anything turn out!

Sister, will go!

Joe, what's going on there,

are you free after roaming around?

Here, we are just wasting the time.

Is that all, that can be

taken care of, where is Korah?

He is here.

Hey man Dad!

Are you both listening?

What is your programme,

tomorrow morning at 9: 30?

It will be somewhat

3 to 3.5 kilometers...

...to Allocious College,

from where you are staying.

Then by around 8:30 in the morning...

...both of you get ready

and go to that college.

For what uncle?

By tomorrow itself, you are joining there.

The class had already started,

two weeks back.

You people are already late.

What we? Uncle, why should I go!

I had arranged there,

your admission also.

Then who will go to

Melbourne University?

Don't you know the land called

Keralam, is the biggest University?

When you study there,

you will pass, anywhere in the world.

Then...What will...We!

- You will study there! And pass!

No, we'll not go to class!

Don't bunk your classes.

Then there will be a short fall in

five thousand which I promised.

Then, only when you study and succeed,

only then you can come here.

Even if you take, any number

of years, I'll not say anything!

So, tomorrow morning 9:30

Allocious College.

Thampi, take the statement of the

now this is the right time.

They will flourish in this, I'm sure!

Had expected,

will wash only on going back.

It is all because of you.

You are the one wearing the

under wear, and not washing it.

Then, all the blame is on me.

Who was the one,

who banged on that black's ball!

Is it me?

Then who broke

the strap of his girlfriend?

Is it me?

Is it me who got aroused and

jumped, on hearing India?

I'll do as I like! Who are you, who

told you to come, without asking?

Your Father! That fraud!

If you say about my Dad!

- If I tell!

If I know to come, I know to go also!

You wait and see, I'll wear under

garments only once I reach there!

Stop there man!
