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

in whose steps I walk.

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!

Doctor!

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.

I want us to experience the world now!

And, Ma, I can heal people anywhere!

Ma?

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...

It's about having patience!

Maybe you'd like to try another career,

perhaps nursing

or massage therapy, Mr. uh...

Brown.

Sorry!

- Decaf latte with a heart

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!

Look at this hottie, huh?

Ooh! Ass-testis!

Hey! Excuse me, miss?
