Oh yes.

Please sit down.

Please sit down.

So...

...you wish to start the treatment

of lepers,hmm?

Yes.

But your neighbours are simple, not educated.

They won't tolerate lepers.

They'll change.

Change?

You are a romantic,

Miss Bethel.

I've learned not to

trust those who say...

...they do things for the benefit of others.

Man can be tamed by having

an abundance or by having nothing.

Who is rebellious?

Who is disobedient?

Those who have only a little.

So..

...If there isn't enough for all...

...it's best that people have nothing.

My children...

...bask in the light of my strength.

It brings--stability.

But I burden my children carefully.

Kindly.

Reading their faces adding

to their burden in tiny increments.

So...

...tranquility...

...an end to pointless aggression.

You really ought to give up

thinking, doctor.

Learn to enjoy yourself.

Have some--pastries, Miss Bethel.

Thank you.

I'm sure we can provide the means.

To remove those coulds from your forehead.

Don't offer me candy!

What are you trying to do, bride mel?

Get your hands...

Stop!

Stop.

Take those boys away.

Get out--get out!

What in the name of God

do you think you're doing?

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

With me, any duplicity's possible.

What was all that about?

Nothing, just a...

...little--low family joke.

Stop it--stop it!

Leave me alone you silly--eejit.

I think we have to break the godfather's

hold on us.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

We have to be cautious,

this is not the most appropriate time.

Oh come on, Sunil, how do you

proceed with caution against someone...

...who considers you a chicken with

a weight around your neck?

You want to change things...

you have to risk.

Look, you back off this ,you

compromise with this guy...

...and he will eat you alive.

You, you can stand up.

But we can't do

that, we live here.

I'm telling you if you stand up

he will back off,I guarantee it.

Max, this is not one of your

American gangster TV shows, you know.

Let me ask you something, let me askyou

something, Max, now...

HOW:

this is a self help society.

So help yourself.

So, so...

are we

not getting swept up with your thing

here?

I take of fence to that, saint

Joan.

Ah well, I'm sorry you're so

sensitive but this, this is too

important to piss about.

It's hard to know when to trust you.

I mean, you're, you're angry with everything.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

And you can afford to talk like this because.

...you're not

going to be here tomorrow, you're

going home.

I am here!

Max, we should think

thrice before we do anything.

For Ghatak is...

...is the saviour here.

He has given us the jobs.

Saviour.

Hasari -- isn't it '2

Come on, speak out.

See, he's given me a job.

And I've been eating his salt.

So what -- you're paying for it...

And I promised him to remain loyal...

Let him speak!

Now...

...you know, it's, it's difficult...

...tO...

I, I hope you understand Joan Di.

I don't understand you people,

you're acting like sheep.

You bow your heads and take this

nightmare like you have no choice.

But I'm telling you...

...if you don't stop this a**hole now he will

ruin you for the rest of your lives.

Ashish, Ashish, when Ghatak's son

came into my shop he beat my son up...

May I be allowed to speak?

Just a minute, Kamla wants to say

something.

Now you want to speak.

It's only because this is our home now.

We've never know such friends.

I think the god father

is strong.

And could kill us.

But we must choose.

Maxis, is only trying to help all of us

and we should support him.

I think we should stand up.

Well

I've got a property

which I could let out.

Say two hundred and fifty

rupees a month.

But not a rupee less!

Those goras are going to build

a new clinic on someone else's property.

But they won't pay protection.

I think the doctor must go.

How many times

a heart beats in a man's lifetime?

I have calculated it

two billion times.

Very few.

The woman

the nurse she is okay.

The doctor

American doctor.

He should go.

He should go now.

I'm ill I'm sick!

I can't be bothered about it now.

Are they going to bring in the lepers?

- Yes.

- Yes.

Yes!

Good.

Let them climb well out on the branch.

Then we'll out it.

When I' m gone

...who will you be loyal to '2

Sorry

I didn't realise it was you.

Your father, babu.

Remember loyalty.

The godfather has made our

life possible here.

We shouldn't anger him.

I think we can trust Max daddah.

He'll stand by us.

You know you are very beautiful.

Oh, Kamla

What about the children?

We won't make noise.

Max, is this going to be your room?

No Joan Di's room.

Is this fun?

No.

Look, Max

honestly

I didn't know all this would work.

But it has.

Now all you need is a Indian bride.

Oh yeah, and you're gonna pick her?

Get outta town!

God, I never thought this day would come

and yous all worked your socks off and

I wish I had some champagne, but

we haven't so we've got some sweets.

Everyone can come to the new clinic.

And I declare it officially open.

Hey, Manooj!

Amrita.

Baba.

Excuse me, can I go?

Baba.

Hurry UP-

Bye.

Good news?

Job back home.

Could you

Oh my God, lepers.

Put these in my box.

Well there goes the neighbourhood.

Sshhh you barbarian!

We are trying not to be lepers.

Oh I didn't get the concept.

Of course, not lepers.

You had me fooled.

Since it is a special day.

We are taking you to the

clinic in grand style.

Oh, you are, let's go!

Meeta is very excited by this

ride through Calcutta.

She has never been

sightseeing before.

Oh Anouar, you are incorrigible.

I know, I'm very encouraging.

You're very that's not what I said.

Hey Poomina, where have you been hiding, huh?

Huh?

Hello, Poomina,

- I have to go with them.

- Come on.

I've got to go with them.

O:

Ah, little Poomina you have new friends now.

And they like you, huh?

And they like your smile.

My God, we've got a crazy man driving.
