Give it to me.

The bus is still running,

right? I'll just pay the cab's fare.

Listen ! Listen ! Hang on !

Let's decide something today.

Do you think of me as your wife?

You follow the bus everyday in a cab

No.

Make yourself clear.

Do you think I may break or

sell the bus in your absence?

Like yours, it's our

livelihood as well.

No, you're mistaken.

You see, today was the first day.

So I was just admiring the bus.

I won't do this tomorrow onwards.

That's better.

Tomorrow onwards I'll

sit in the bus. Yes.

You see, if there is a

direct contact between the owner. . .

. . .and the passengers

then its good for business.

Yes. That's it. It's a tactic.

You pronounced it incorrectly.

What?

Tactic.

Tactic.

Listen, just drive the bus.

This is not the way

to talk to your boss.

He will go to America

speaking the way he does.

Was he speaking ill of me?

No. We were talking

about other things.

What's going on?

Get away from my sight!

Go away! Get away from my sight!

He's fallen !

A bus, on my street?

The bus moved just

a bit and you fell.

If it had moved any faster,

you could have had a bad fall.

Get away from my sight.

Really? Fine. Now we

won't mess with you.

Here. Fine.

Do you think I'm a fool?

They ran away!

This is a street for decent people.

It's our street. Got it?

Without our permission. . .

What problem does he have with us?

What's his problem?

Good morning ! Good morning !

Our commuters should

not be inconvenienced.

Sir, everyone here has

received a concession.

How can anyone complain?

Everyone's happy. Look at them.

I didn't say that everyone

should get a concession.

You didn't understand.

Ticket. . . ticket.

Go start from there. Go there.

My friends, this decent

man that stands before you. . .

. . .owns this bus.

He's a fine man, so

please get up and respect him.

Let him sit. Please, get up.

Get up.

Be seated. Be seated.

Be seated. Be seated.

No one's listening to you.

It's falling on deaf ears.

How do you feel?

I'm comfortable.

These are new seats.

Is everything all right?

Can you feel the breeze?

Yes, of course.

Our pleasure lies in

your satisfaction.

Our objective is to insure. . .

. . .that you have a smooth journey.

Like butter melting in your mouth.

Drive properly!

What's wrong, Mr. Basantilal?

There's a fly in the butter.

What happened? Hang on. . .

Why didn't get new tyres installed.

The tyres are new.

What can I do if the roads are old?

Tell your boss to

stop being such a brag. . .

. . .or people will

knock his fake teeth out.

We permit people to

take such liberties.

Who can avoid punctures?

Hey, we want a refund.

It will take five minutes to

change the tyres. . . five minutes.

We are paying you to take care

of business. It will be done.

You got a concession.

You shouldn't complain.

Let's get him.

What?

Don't let these people get away.

Great driver, what do

you think you doing?

Throw it down.

Why? There's no air in it.

Not even in that?

No.

A bullock cart is better than this.

Look, the customer is always right.

But today it's not

entirely our fault.

Give us some time.

We'll get a new tire.

You got the tyres punctured.

It's just a tire.

Let's get a new one.

This driver and

conductor will be beaten up.

It's my turn.

Dear, your papa won't be able. . .

. . .to drop you to school tomorrow.

If papa is a little busy. . .

Can we be a little lazy?

A day off from school.

No holiday. Tomorrow

your uncle will drop his. . .

. . .niece and nephew

to school himself.

Yes.

Don't mind, Uncle. . .

. . .but everyone teases us

because of your two-bit bus.

It's quite another thing. . .

. . .that we'll become

because of it, but. . .

We'll never travel in your bus.

What's your daughter saying?

Deepak! Deepak!

Now what is he yelling for?

Listen, listen.

What's the matter?

I told you. . . I told you?

What about the bus?

Basantilal, is out of control.

Nothing is all right.

He doesn't stop on

conductor's whistle. . .

. . .nor does he obey the conductor.

He pretends to be

looking straight ahead. . .

. . .but he's actually

gazing into the sky.

Our business is in the dumps.

Bus is in the garage.

But what's wrong?

What's the bottom line.

The bus banged into a shop.

We're doomed.

We were fortunate that

the shopkeeper went to pee.

Otherwise, the shopkeeper

would've been dead and. . .

. . .our business

would've been ruined with it.

Why didn't you say that no one died.

Already the dog is howling outside. . .

It's not a dog's howl. A

human is howling like a dog.

Wait for a minute.

Come. He's the boss. Talk to him.

Cry as you want. Just make

sure you do it in front of him.

Come.

Don't cry like this. I

live here. Take it easy.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Your driver is responsible for this.

Calm down.

He has ruined me.

Seven years of planning

has gone down in tubes.

My ponytail ! My ponytail !

What's wrong with your ponytail?

Your ponytail was chopped off.

Shut up!

I mean, my small kids.

Who will feed them?

Your confused.

Have you lost your

shop or your wife?

Listen to me. I'll

compensate you for your losses.

You'll pay me money now?

How can I repay you

at this very moment?

I'll repay your money later. Later.

How can I trust you?

How can you not

trust us? I own the bus.

I own the bus. Come on.

Okay.

Trust us. Hey, you tell him. Come

on. Why are you doing like this?

What happened?

Do you really own the bus?

It might not look like

we do, but do own the bus.

Explain it to him.

Calm down.

What's going on?

Is this a house or a court?

Even at night disputes are ongoing.

They are always at it.

They go on and on.

You pay the guy.

I'll look for Basantilal.

You're resting in peace here.

You drive smoothly on hilly terrain.

Do flies sit on your glasses. . .

. . .while driving on a straight road?

Sir, small accidents

occur now and then.

Shut up. Small

accidents occur now and then?

You can't see through these

huge glasses you've got on.

Remove them.

What is this?

What?

Look, asking me to tell him.

Wear your glasses.

He's asking me what it is!

What's this?!

It's an eye.

I'm not talking

about this. What is this?

It's a finger which

appears as the alphabet 'I.'

What is this?

It's two fingers that

could be read as a 'V.'

I know all the alphabets in English.

You're familiar with

the alphabets, right?

Do you know what this is?

I'll give you one hard blow.

You've cost me Rs.35,000.

Don't beg now. Next time. . .

Start deducting it

from this month's salary.

You shut your mouth.

And you listen to me.

My income is scarce. . .

. . .and expenditure are climbing.

If you ever. . .

If you ever? Are you crazy?

Giving a senseless person advise. . .

. . .is the same as giving

medication to the dead.

Fire him.

We'll give pay a heavier

deposit and hire a new driver.

Don't play with emotions.

I can't do that. My

Brother-in-law has hired him.
