Colkatay Columbus Page #3

---

- I told you.

What do you think?

He has learnt History.

He knows everything.

Facts say that finding

new ways, discoveries

and solutions are nothing for him.

- So, he'll do that for us easily.

Just for the sake of argument,

what if this man isn't Columbus?

So what if he isn't?

At least, he is like Columbus.

He knows the way to success.

That's all we need.

Take Anand Bazar for example.

They aren't in the Government.

But like Government, they can do a lot.

- Do you think it will work?

It will.

- Shall we take him home?

He may go anywhere later.

I mean, we'll drop him if needed.

No, wait!

What if he is a con artist?

So what?

At the most, he will fool us.

Nothing can be worse

than the situation we are already in.

That's true.

Listen, Ismail.

What are you thinking?

What is so bad about our situation, right?

I know that we do well

even without what we don't have.

But what can we do?

We want this.

Had you been a rickshaw driver,

you'd have known that despite having

a 100 rupee note,

one needs change too.

Let's see.

Mister.

- Uncle!

Uncle!

- Uncle!

Will you live in our house?

Yes. I can do that.

Since you're insisting

I will go to your house.

I'll try to explore Kolkata more.

No one knows whose failure

would result in

whose success. I'll stay here.

- Come with me.

Christopher Columbus is in my car!

- Don't tell anyone.

I won't! I swear by Allah!

- Let's go!

You are in a lot of problem

because of me.

Actually, I'm from history.

When past is mixed with the present,

things become murky.

That won't be a problem.

Don't say Columbus to anyone.

Just say you are Christopher.

From tomorrow..

I mean, from now on

you are Roy's uncle who used to live

abroad and who is a businessman.

Uncle?

- Yes.

Fine. Uncle, you need a makeover.

Right! A makeover.

- We'll take care of it. - Right.

Hold on.

Try this.

- Let me see.

What is this?

- Glasses.

Does this suit him? Nice!

Wait! What is this?

Let me see this! Try this!

Hey!

- Doesn't this look nice?

Wait, I'll try more.

- What's going on? - Look here!

I can't find a pen.

Columbus! Christopher Columbus!

I am a traveler, not some clown.

Give me my bag.

May I draw your sketch?

Initially, we were suspicious of him.

But things are fine now.

We went for outings with Columbus.

Columbus looked quite amazing

after his make-up.

He looked quite smart.

I mean, it worked in Kolkata.

When Sneha was with us,

she didn't pay attention to Christopher.

She didn't think he was real.

And Christopher was strange.

Whenever he would see Sneha

he would fake a chest pain

or would say he was missing his wife.

He used to leave from there.

For Sneha, Columbus was Roy's uncle.

Cheers!

Do you know, why we say cheers?

Saying anything more before drinking

is just a waste of time.

Kings used to drink in wooden mugs.

They didn't trust each other at all.

They used to hit the mugs together so that

the wine from one mug would spill

into other mugs, even if a little.

That would make the poison spread

among everyone present there.

Wow!

- That means, jealousy is not new.

How do you know something so old?

Uncle was abroad.

- He was abroad for a long time.

If you want me to believe,

only one of you should speak.

Give me one more drink.

- Hello, good evening.

Are you also from Kolkata?

I am Christopher.

May I share your chips? Thank you.

- Have some. It's delicious.

He is a foreign power.

I need to obey him.

Okay, bye. See you.

Should you have paid the bill?

It's okay.

I'd promised to treat him to lunch.

Why do you invest in a place

where you won't get any profit?

Learn to judge people.

Relationships and friendships

are just like business.

Terms and conditions always apply.

Sam..

Hello?

She is standing away from me.

Shall I take her on a ride, on Metro?

- No!

Rich parents' beautiful daughters

don't like to travel on Metro.

It hurts their pride.

Order a cab on internet.

- Okay.

Listen!

Don't sit in opposite directions.

Why?

The wind might be strong

near the windows.

Impossible!

Let's go. I'll have to go to office

after dropping you home.

I want to discuss something

after I come home.

How could he ask such a silly question?

How is my hair? Isn't it nice?

I knew you'd like it.

You know, it took me three hours to

get ready today. Can you imagine?

No, I can't.

- Shut up! Just listen!

I opened my wardrobe,

but I couldn't decide what to wear.

I had worn all the dresses and

uploaded their picture on Facebook.

I found this top somehow.

But guess what?

What?

- I couldn't find matching hot pants.

Then I had to look really hard

to find this one.

But finally, I look nice.

Don't I?

I've already got 38 likes.

Isn't it nice?

- You could've worn anything.

Things aren't really visible.

Boss is really upset

because I keep praising you.

Be alert.

The pressure may increase.

So, you have been able to

increase the pressure on me.

Come on.

- Fantastic!

I'm trying, Roy.

- If you wanted, you could've helped.

A promotion or a salary hike

is nothing for you.

You may enjoy your time for now,

then the boss will drop you.

Come on! Trust me.

You may keep this for now.

This will look nice with your dress.

It's new.

I'll go and plan everything.

I'll have to sit and..

Success, the way out of this,

Christopher..

What?

- I'm going.

A plan?

Enough! Now give that to me.

Give it to me.

- Oh, no! - Come on!

Look!

I've been knitting this monkey cap

for you for the last month. Take a look!

It goes with your skin color so well.

I'm knitting it.

She helps me sometimes. Isn't it nice?

I forgot to introduce you to her.

He is Sam.

Sam, she is the maid.

Aunt, didn't I show you

his photos the other day?

He is handsome and cute.

- What are you doing?

Isn't he? - What are you doing?

She is still here. Don't do that.

It's just her.

You know

Sam sings really well.

He sounds just like Anupam Roy.

- Anupam Roy?

She loves music.

You like rockstar

Manna De's songs, right?

Sing rockstar Manna De's songs for her.

- No, I won't sing now.

Why are you doing this?

You know,

Sam wants to launch a music album.

But he needs a lot of money for that.

I thought he wouldn't have money.

So, I'll ask dad..

"You are like a dewdrop."

Rockstar Manna De!

- Manna De wasn't a rockstar.

"On my beautiful lotuses."

"If I don't think about.."

Talk to your dad, okay?

"Your beauty"

"makes me forget everything."

"You are my.."

If you do this, I'll lose my temper.

I am getting a little angry.

He has a good voice, doesn't he?

So sweet!

You know, he can sing more songs.

He knows many more rocking songs.

He loves me and I love you.

That means, he loves you too.

So, sing a song for her.

You tell him.

Which song do you want to hear?

Tell him another song by Manna De.

Tell him. Say something.

Will you increase my salary, ma'am?

"O my dear Lolita!"

"Ask her to leave today."

"Ask her to leave today."
