Sweet, baby. Sweet.

- All right.

- Yes.

Okay.

Welcome to the family.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

With you around,

the crooked pathways...

Ridiculous and crazy talk,

everything seems fine.

With you around,

false promises and...

...the intentions of my

enemies all seem true.

The only thing that makes

my heart skip a beat...

...it's you. Only you.

You're the one who makes me

laugh while I cry.

You're the one...

- I don't know why.

- I don't know why.

My heart knows that

if you're around, I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

I'll be alright.

- I don't know why.

- I don't know why.

My heart knows that

if you're around, I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

The entire world is on one

side and we're on the other.

Every joy evaporates.

I find only sorrow.

But when you smile for me,

the world seems all right.

My life blooms again in a moment.

I don't know why.

- I don't know why.

- I don't know why.

My heart knows that

if you're around, I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

- I don't know why.

- I don't know why.

My heart knows that

if you're around, I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

Yeah... yeah, yeah.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

Yeah... yeah, yeah.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

Yeah... yeah, yeah.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

Yeah... yeah, yeah.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

It's a friendship

that has blossomed...

...with every passing moment.

I don't know why I feel...

...I know her.

Because when you smile for me,

the world seems all right.

These passing

moments freeze right here.

I don't know why...

- I don't know why.

- I don't know why.

My heart knows that if

you're around, I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

- I don't know why.

- I don't know why.

My heart knows that

if you're around, I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

With you around,

the crooked pathways...

Ridiculous and crazy talk,

everything seems fine.

With you around,

false promises and...

...the intentions of my enemies,

all seem true.

The only thing that makes

my heart skip a beat...

...it's you. Only you.

You're the one who

makes me laugh while I cry.

You're the one...

- I don't know why.

- I don't know why.

My heart knows that

if you're around, I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

- I don't know why.

- I don't know why.

My heart knows that

if you're around, I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

- I don't know why.

- I don't know why.

My heart knows that

if you're around, I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

What happened?

Mom, man! I mean, I've come

here all the way from London...

...yet I'm not able to

get mom off my back.

Come on, Sam! How can anybody

want to get rid of their mom?

You don't know my mom.

Still...

It's like a full-on

hardcore Punjabi ham scene.

Tears pour down for the silliest

things, dialogues, everything.

And day or night it's

always the same thing.

Why don't you get married?

Mrs. Khanna's cousin from...

...Amritsar has two daughters.

It's a buffet.

Choose whichever you want.

Oh, my God! So you haven't

told your mom about you...

You know, you and Kunal...

No, she's very conservative.

So tell me, Neha,

if Sam and I were not gay...

...then would you have

had us as your tenants?

Of course not! Because

if you hadn't been gay...

...then sooner or later you

would have been interested in me...

...and then life

would've become strange.

Wow! You're so modest.

Seriously, my mom and dad

wouldn't have allowed it.

- Mom?

- Dad?

They're also there?

No, they passed away in a car crash.

I was nine years old then.

Since then I think of them whenever...

...I have to make an

important decision.

Like what would they

hae done in my position?

So what would they have said?

About what?

You know, about this

situation of ours.

Oh! I think they'd have been a

little happy and a little sad too.

Meaning?

Happy because I'm living

with two strong men.

And the butt talk?

Sad... sad... why would they be sad?

Right. And they'd be sad

that my roommates protect me...

...not my husband or my boyfriend.

That's ok, we're no

less than other men.

We're two regular Gabbars

(villain in the film 'Sholay').

- Gabbar!

- What?

Yes, Gabbar. Gabbar Singh

from the movie "Sholay".

But what does he have

to do with this?

Come on, Kunal. Haven't you

seen the film? Gabbar was gay!

Gabbar wasn't gay.

Okay, if a man walks around

with a belt in his hand...

...throughout a movie,

asking the same question...

"How many men were there?"

Then he has to be gay, right?

- Shut up, Sam.

- Dude, Gabbar wasn't gay.

Of course he was gay.

He was a full-on flamer.

- Shut up, Sam!

- He was... he was gay. He was gay.

- Dude! - Now don't tell me

that there wasn't anything...

...between Munna and

Circuit (movie characters).

I mean, come on. That was

by far the most obvious one.

Circuit addresses

Munna as a brother would.

So? Even I call you

brother in public.

Guys, what are you doing here?

We have to file papers.

I know, but the queue

for gay couples is there.

- Queue for gay couples?!

- Yes.

If you file a

petition as a couple then...

...you get a

residency permit much faster.

Maybe even in a year or else it'll

take you at least five years.

What? You didn't know that?

Come on. I've got to get to work.

You're absolutely insane,

you know that?

Sam, Sam. Sam, open the door.

What? Are you serious? No.

Come on, dude. I'll get

the papers in a year's time.

Kunal, you were finding it

difficult to tell Neha about it.

But now you want to

make us officially gay.

Dude, we just have to sign a paper.

If we're caught then

we're going straight to jail.

Dude, no one's going to catch us.

Sam, please do this for me.

I'll do anything for you, please.

- Anything?

- Anything.

- I'll use the bathroom

first in the morning. - Done.

- You'll make coffee for me.

- Done.

- You'll introduce me to models.

- Promise, I swear. Done.

Awesome. You'll have to schedule...

...a fantastic photo shoot

for aunty.

Dude, done.

Really? You're very desperate,

aren't you? Ok, done.

He's here!

- The mayor's charity ball tonight.

- I know.

Morning M! Pedro

Almadovar called three times.

I don't care and I know. I know.

M darling, you look gorgeous today.

Coffee?

Neha darling, only you know what

I like to hear in the morning.

Give me a kiss. Come.

Got your mail.

Speaking of males, come with me.

What is this I hear?

You are living with two guys,

you naughty girl?!

I didn't know that you had it in you.

- It's really not as exciting as

you think it is. Trust me. - Why?

Because, as usual, both are hot,

good looking, funny and sweet but...

What's the problem?

Both are gay.

Yummy, why don't you introduce me?
