Dr. Cabbie
Time's up! Time's up!
Finish! Finish your work!
Please, time's up! Hurry up!
Time's up! Come on!
- Hi!
- Hi, Deepak.
Congratulations, Deepak!
I swear to fulfill to the best
of my ability and judgment this covenant.
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains
of those physicians
I will remember that warmth,
sympathy and understanding
may outweigh the surgeon's knife.
May I long experience
the joy of healing those
who may seek my help.
And I will maintain
by all means in my power
the honour and noble tradition
of the medical profession.
Swami-ji, keep the rupees!
It's all about dollars for me!
Show some respect now, huh?
I'm a doctor!
Ma!

Your father would've been
so proud of you today!
He would've been proud of you, Ma.
You've worked so hard for us.
Ma! Ma!
Last time!
I want us to experience the world now!
And, Ma, I can heal people anywhere!
Ma?

We'll need them to keep us warm.
We are moving to the land of opportunity.
- Honey... I thought
we were going to Canada.
Let's go!
So many white people, new?
Ma, did you know the entire country
once belonged to the Indians?
Amazing! Indians!
Hello!

Millions of us Indians

And Vijay Sharma sponsored you?
Yes! He's my brother!

restaurant in Toronto:
Korma Suva!
Susan, you should come there sometime
if you like Indian food.
We'll give you big discount!
- Welcome to Canada.

We have to find your uncle Vijay.

So, Uncle, where's all the snow?
'WOW!

I've been cooking up a storm!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Beautiful!

That's fine. Thank you!
- Mmm! Rani,
Oh, but the Dalai Lama says,
"One must approach both love
and cooking with reckless abandon. "
Uh-huh!
Oh, your auntie warships the snake god.
But, Uncle, isn't the snake god a cobra?
- Um, there are no cobras here,
so she worships the rattlesnake god.

- Lamb?
- No, thank you, Auntie!
I don't eat meat!
Um...
But I'll have some!

You've been godsends.
Supporting my education
and now sponsoring us?
Really, words can't express
how thankful lam
for everything you've done
for Ma and me.
- Don't thank me.
It was your aunt's idea.
She wanted us all to be together.
- Really?
- Thank you, Auntie!
You're welcome!
Cheers!
I'll drink to that!
- But Neelu-ji,
you've never drank alcohol before!
Well, I've never been on a plane before!

Looks like you just got some good news!
It's a job offer!
I can feel it from the bottom of my heart!

"I'm caring and I'm compassionate. "
Yes, that's it!
"I'm a dedicated... "
Good day!
Congratulations!
You've excelled
at the Medical Council Evaluating Exams!
Despite your excellent exam results,
the Canadian Medical Association
requires a 4-year residency.
- I graduated from a well-respected
medical school in India.
on, India!
Yeah! I love India!
I went to an ashram out of college.
Namaste!
Anyway, Indian medical training
isn't familiar to us.
- But I also know that this country
has a shortfall of 26,000 doctors.
I'm confident that my credentials...
- We can't travel the world
evaluating every medical school!
We must provide competent healthcare here.
- Millions of people who can't find
a family doctor are clogging...
Our emergency rooms.
I've had every door slammed in my face.
I've rewritten every exam successfully!
- Being a doctor
is not only about treating patients...
Maybe you'd like to try another career,
perhaps nursing
or massage therapy, Mr. uh...
Brown.
Sorry!
for my favourite guy!
- What do I owe you?
- Oh no, it's on me.
- Oh, thanks!
- Have a good day!
Can I help the next customer?
- Just one second!
Hey! What can I get for you?
Coffee?
Coffee?
- I'm... I'm so sorry!
I've just had such a bad day.
I can't get a job here...
- We've all had those. Bye-bye!
- Thanks!
Can I help the next clown?
- I'll take whatever's cheapest,
the bathroom key and a plunger.
OK!
- And move on it, Blondie!
I'm shitting in my pants here!
Hey! Watch it!
- Hey! Mr. India!
Where are you going?
I don't know.
What? In life, or...
I have to go!
W-w-wait! OK! OK!
Today, I give you 50% off
to all sad Indians. Come!
That's fine!
- What a beautiful face, huh?
One smile! One smile! One smile!
Huh? Huh? Come, come, come, come!
No, no! In the front!
Indian style!
Brothers, brothers! Come!
OK, come!
What do you do?
- I'm a doctor.
- You're a doctor?
Check one thing, doctor!
Small joke!
Don't mind! Don't mind!
Where are you going?
Korma Sutra Restaurant.
- Hey! Free diarrhea
with every plate of butler chicken, boss!
And that owner's so horny, man!
He must be judging the chicken nipples
inappropriately also.
He's my uncle.
Nice guy! Very nice guy!
Oh, and that white snake lady, man!
I'd love to show her my python.
- Hey! She's my auntie!
And she's very sweet.
- Oh, yeah!
- Show some respect!
Nice lady, huh? Great!
- Yeah, she is!
- Oh, wow!
Look at this hottie, huh?
Ooh! Ass-testis!
Hey! Excuse me, miss?
