Breakaway Page #5

Synopsis: A hockey enthusiast since 12 years of age, Toronto-based Rajvinder Singh, even went to the extent of trimming his hair, discarding his Pagri/turban, did not complete his education, incurred the wrath of his father, Darvesh, who wanted him to be involved in the family business as well as confirm and respect Sikh religion principles and values. Hoping to play professional hockey, Rajvinder, along with other fellow Sikh players, instead finds himself treated as the object of ridicule, referred to as a 'joker', by mainstream Caucasian players. Even his friends tease him and ask him to take up 'Guli Danda' and Kabaddi', while his father makes him work for Uncle Sammy as a truck driver. He is attracted to stunning law student Melissa Winters while her brother, Dan, offers to coach Rajvinder and his team. Unable to get themselves included in any team, they form their own, and call it 'Speedy Singhs'. They then set about to make a name for themselves with a coach who is unable to pronounce the

I will leave now. Thanks. - Bye.

I am very happy today.

Rajveer, you look great.

Fantastic. - Come on.

Alright, boys.

- That's it. Enough.

Enough.

It has started. And

all of you are ready.

Put your blood and sweat.

Coach, just give us a second.

Okay. - See you at the ice.

Fine. - Okay, coach.

Come on. Let us have a group huddle.

Come on. Come on.

Raj. - What?

Let's pray.

Okay. You need me?

Blessed is the person who says...

God is truth.

I welcome all of you to

the first Hyundai cup match.

Today, Speedy Singhs are

competing with Caliber.

Show them, Sardars.

Very good.

That playerwearing a helmet...

...isn't he Rajveer?

You recognized him now, you fool.

Lavleen, do you

remember God's photo?

I used to always keep it with me.

God has been so kind to us.

I am thinking of giving

this photo to Rajveer...

...before he leaves for New York.

Yes. Go and give him.

He must not have left.

Yes. I will be able to sleep

peacefully if God is with him.

Yes. Go and give him.

Give him my love.

Tell him to drive carefully.

I will tell him.

Pass it. Pass it.

Cut in. Come on.

Move it, man. Move it.

Go. Go.

And Rajveerfrom Speedy

Singhs has made a goal.

Rajveer, take God's

photo to New York with you.

The first match is between

Speedy Singhs and Caliber.

Where is Rajveer?

He has not come.

There are a lot of expectations.

Dan Winters is quite

excited about his team.

Let's see whetherthe team

lives up to the expectations.

It's a foul.

Very good.

Well done. Well done.

Great passing by them.

And a splendid goal for

Caliber in the second period.

Okay.

Come on. Buck up.

With this foul Speedy Singhs

get a penalty of two minutes.

Caliber scores another goal.

In the third period.

With this Caliber is

ahead of Singhs, two to one.

Fine. I wanted to win.

But we played well.

We showed that we are there.

We showed many things.

Do you want to say something?

Yes.

Why to beat in the game?

He saved our honor and

showed that we know how to play.

Honor?

Honor is earned only by winning.

I think you are forgetting you

are the captain and I am the coach.

This is coach's game plan?

A stupid penalty.

Not at all. I have an easier plan.

You will do whatever I say.

This is fine.

You played well.

Thanks.

Hey.

I think you are spending a

lot of time with my brother.

Yes. You are right.

There is same tension on yourface.

Cheer up, captain. You played well.

Thanks. You should be in the class.

Yes. But as the team's lawyer,

it's important to watch...

...Speedy Singhs' matches.

Okay, lawyer. I want to

file a case on my coach.

You are upset because of the

penalty. - How do you know?

I understand ice hockey quite well.

I would be with Dan

in all his matches.

Was he good?

He was second rated in NHL.

Good skater. Good stick handler.

But a bad team player.

His ego and anger ruined his career.

You keep his rookie card with you.

He was always a rookie.

So I am very emotional.

You don't like hockey players.

I didn't say I don't

like hockey players.

I don't date them.

Until now.

Rajveer.

You fool.

Uncle.

How are you, son?

Soni. - Hi.

Don't worry. He knows everything.

Aftertoday's game you have

become famous all over Canada.

Famous.

Look.

Really? Even after losing?

Whether you win or lose,

what difference does it make?

We didn't have a team before.

Listen. Tomorrow we will

tell yourfather. Don't worry.

Fine, uncle.

But I will stay in

your house tonight.

I am in New York. Remember?

Yes. Surely.

Today, stay with Sonu.

Oh, no.

Take his autograph.

Listen. If you are lucky,

I will show you my tattoos.

If you don't wet your bed, I

will also show you many things.

What did you say? Okay. Okay.

"Move back, beautiful damsel."

"Ourtrain is heading towards you."

- It won't make a difference.

Who is Melissa?

Leave it.

Give it here.

What do you care about Melissa?

Relax.

You can't score a

goal in the match...

...I doubt you will score in love.

And you can't tell your

parents about your game...

...what else can you tell them?

Are you done?

Almost.

Go to sleep, my head's paining.

Headache. That's your

family ailment, just like Reena.

Someday you will make a good wife.

Sexy bed. Where will you sleep?

I will sleep right here.

You can sleep with me here.

But I get really

naughty in the morning.

Naughty. Quite naughty.

Come on.

Seems like you don't like your nose.

Really? What a bad joke.

Elephant to the ant: "Look,

my mom's here".

Ant:
"Quick, hide behind me."

Be quiet.

I will sleep on the floor.

Do you want this pillow? - Yes.

Fine, take it.

You know Reena's doggy Foo Foo.

Prefers this pillow as well.

Oh no.

And don't use that blanket as well.

Why?

Because that is Reena

and my personal blanket.

I feel pity for you.

Here.

You can use this as a blanket.

I nevertaught him to lie.

And Sammy. Even he hid this from me.

You asked your son

something that he loves the most.

So now it's my

fault that he is lying.

Even George Bush

doesn't lie this much.

Can you stop loving me

if someone asks you to?

I feel really angry when

you use these female points.

Which other points do

I have? - I don't know.

And if he's scared to

talk to talk to you...

...then you talk to him.

But please, just talk to him.

Don't lecture him.

Very good.

I am very happy with what you did.

The singing, dancing. Drinking.

Fighting. All that was

left was getting locked up...

...but you took care of that as well.

But next time... keep my

sister away from all this.

Coach, I don't remember anything.

I don't know anything.

Get out of my locker room.

Come on.

I told you to invite

him to the party as well.

Coach.

I am sorry.

I take full responsibility of

whatever happened last night.

Good.

Nice to hearthat.

So everything's fine?

- Do you think everything's fine?

You aren't worthy of that.

You can't do that.

I just did.

Okay. Then I won't play.

We will win this game

and go to the finals.

We both know that it's

impossible without me.

Is that so?

Yes, It is.

Remember, once you

are out you are out.

That's a stupid reason.

You can turn away from me...

...but what will you say to yourself?

About what? About saving you?

Saving me? You were

only saving your ego.

Just say what you understand.

Fine.

Let's talk about Hockey?

Just because Dan took away...

...the captainship

from you, that's why?

I left the team because...

...I don't want to hearfrom

someone who cleans the ice.

Let me tell you something, big man.

Come right here, behind the bench.

And remember, I don't like quitters.

Look, that's all there was left.

Hey, coach, sorry...

I am No longer your coach.

I am sorry.

Look, I made a mistake.

I should play forthe team.

Wait. You think the

Speedy Singhs will lose...

...if you don't play?

Well, you are wrong.

They won.

We won?

Yes.

We made it to the finals,

and without you.

That's great.

I don't believe it.

Yes.

Afterthe game the Hammerheads...
