On silky black nights come to

me in my dreamy rendezvous.

- Come into my arms, oh dear.

- Oh dear!

Quietly listen to the

pleas of my heartbeats...

- Rest in my arms, oh dear.

- Oh dear!

What do the words have

to convey any longer...

...when your eyes narrate a

hundred stories every moment?

The fragrance that

lingers through the air...

...tempts my youthful desires.

The fragrance that

lingers through the air...

...tempts my youthful desires.

I shall make your nights colourful.

I shall hold you in my embrace.

Let your hints be.

Don't let me speak.

Lest our youth is spent talking.

The fragrance that

lingers through the air...

...tempts my youthful desires.

The fragrance that

lingers through the air...

...tempts my youthful desires.

Your killer gaze...

Stops me on my path...

Don't look at me like this.

No, don't eye me.

Your eyes narrate 100

stories every moment.

The fragrance that

lingers through the air...

...tempts my youthful desires.

- Hello?

- Sam!

- Where are you?

- Mom!

Mom my foot! I've been

calling up the motel for a while.

They said that you didn't

return since last night.

Chill, Mom!

You have stopped obeying me

ever since your dad passed away.

Mom, I was just two years

old when dad passed away.

Shut up! Tell me where you are.

I'm at my friend's place.

Had you looked for a

house of your own...

...you wouldn't have had to live

at a friend's place like this.

Who's this friend?

A close friend, mom.

It's your first day at work today.

Instead of fooling

around with your friends...

...you should've

been praying all night.

That's what I was

doing all night, mom.

Okay. Okay. Don't

forget to call me tonight

- Okay, mom.

- Okay then, bye.

Hey! Sam.

Hi, I'm Kunal.

I know.

How do you know?

Oh Kunal! Oh Kunal!

Oh... Kunal!

Before this, I hadn't heard anybody's

name so many times in one night.

I feel like I already know you.

Thanks.

I have to go. First day on the job.

Wish you all the best!

See you around.

See you.

So you're actually a nurse?

And you studied five years

to become one... a nurse?

But why?

I mean, you could've studied

the same and become a doctor.

Why a nurse?

Nurse, I'm ready for my sponge bath.

Hi, good looking!

There's a bad news.

What? I have to come

over to your place again...

...tonight for a

creative meeting, right?

Very funny!

I hope your sense of humour

helps you to find a new house.

Find a house?

Oh! No. No.

Oh yes! Yes.

I've found a new tenant

and he's even paying me cash.

Taxi! Taxi, taxi. Come on, man!

Taxi!

Kunal?

- Sam, right?

- Right. Right.

Look, dude I'm really sorry,

but I'm in a hurry.

Why don't you get another cab?

Okay.

Wait a minute.

Why should I get another cab?

I stopped this one first

No, dude. I stopped this cab first.

No, I stopped it first.

It's my cab.

No, dude. It's my cab.

Hey, bro! This is my cab.

Do you guys want to tell

me where you want to go...

...or do you want to get off?

5th and Alpine...

16 B.

16th floor.

The elevators are that way.

It's strange how we keep

bumping into each other

It's like fate

But what matters is who's

fated to get this house.

Come in.

Wow!

Hey! Why are you scaring me?

Hey! You're Indian.

No, I'm Chinese.

Is this your house?

No, it's the neighbours'.

Shall I call them?

No, no. We've come to

check out the house.

Did you check it out? Is it good?

Now leave.

- What do you mean?

- I mean, didn't the agent tell you...

...that 'baby' lives

alone over here.

Baby?

Baby.

- Look, Baby...

- Excuse me.

Men aren't allowed here.

I want girls even in the

two vacant rooms here.

After all, it's a question

of our security and honour.

Did you hear that?

Yes, security and honour.

But whose?

No that... there are two rooms...

Sweet!

You said sweet,

you're hitting on me.

- No...

- Get out! - No, no... - Out!

- Ma'am... - Out! Out! Get out!

- No, wait. Wait...

- Wait...

- Out! Get out! Scoundrel!

No boys, only girls.

Even we want that,

but not in that sense.

- Hey! Do you want a hot dog?

- Sure.

So what else do you do other

than bumping into me everywhere?

I work at Howard

Medical Centre. Two please!

Oh doctor? That's cool!

No, I'm actually a nurse.

Do you also have to

wear a short skirt?

That's a very old one.

What do you do?

I'm a photographer.

Cool! So do you...

with the models... you know...

Radical! When did you come

from India?

Three years ago.

You've been looking for

a house for three years?

I live at a friend's place.

But I have to acate now.

That too in two week's.

- Tough luck, dude!

- Yes!

Sir, are you okay?

I'm fine. I'm fine. Really,

I'm just...

...it's just that my boyfriend...

...has been sent to

Iraq and I'm here...

...and we were so

happy after Afghanistan...

Everything was perfect.

I mean, we were like the

perfect family and I just saw...

...the two of you standing

here and you look so happy.

My God! You just reminded me

so much of us.

I mean, really.

God bless you both, I mean...

- I really wish you all the happiness!

- Thank you.

Bye.

Kunal.

- Are you crazy?!

- Listen to me. - Don't touch me!

Oh man! I'm not like that.

You're like my brother.

I mean, you are my brother.

Albeit from another

mother but you're my brother.

Look, brother from another mother.

You may be desperate, but I'm not.

Do whatever you want to.

Come on buddy. Had I been able to

do it alone then I'd have done it.

But she won't believe my word alone.

Listen to me.

Look, even you agree that

the apartment is brilliant.

Correct? Right.

If we have to lie to an old

'Baby' that we're gay...

...in order to get that house,

then what difference does it make?

It does make a difference.

I'm not gay.

I know. I know this. You know this.

And if you wish, I shall inform

every girl in Miami...

...that you like girls.

We just won't tell Baby about it.

Think about it.

That apartment has two rooms.

The apartment is within our budget.

And you're more desperate than me.

I mean, you have a deadline

of two weeks. That's why...

What do you say? Are you gay?

You've come back!

Baby!

Are you taking advantage of

Baby just because she's alone

No, no. No, you're mistaken about us.

What do you mean?

Shall we come in and explain?

Are you trying to be naughty?

No, no. I'm taking permission.

Okay.

What are you looking around for?

Do you intend to steal?

No, you're very funny.

Actually we should've told you

earlier that we can rent this house.

How can you rent it? I told

you that only girls are allowed.

We're both are girls.

What?!
