- Yeah, but it's killing my mojo.

Excuses, excuses!

- There's 3 things you need

to win an election:

money, media and minorities.

Come on, Bonnie!

# In Napoli... #

So, welcome to my home!

Well, upstairs... I live upstairs.

- Oh, OK!

# Here's what they say #

it When the Moon hits your eye

like a big pizza pie $1

# That's amore #

it When the world seems to shine

like you've had too much wine $1

# That's amore #

# Bells will ring... #

- Antipasto.

- Thank you!

Thank you!

No octopussy?

- No... no octopussy today, Mimi.

- Octopussy?

- It's Mimi's special.

Mmm!

- Thank you!

- You're welcome!

Hmph!

Please!

Oh! So, uh...

my family is having this really small

birthday party for me next week, and...

and we would just love for you to be there.

- Of course! I'd love that.

So, what can I get for the birthday boy?

- Well, a residency in a hospital

would be great.

How's it going on that front?

- Good! You know, actually,

I've applied to some US schools and...

Um, you know,

it's such a long shot and...

- No, that's great! Really!

- Yeah!

And I might not even go by the end.

- You gotta do what you gotta do, right?

Yeah!

Hi, Tony!

I'm sorry, boss!

Hey! Miss?

Look, miss, we've...

Look, we've all had our bad days.

Miss?

- Leave me alone! Go away!

This bridge...

It's not high enough to kill anyone.

You're just gonna wake up

in the hospital,

broken bones, face mangled

beyond recognition.

Don't get close, or I'll jump!

- I can give you a ride

to a taller bridge, huh?

My... my cab is right there.

Go away!

I'm going.

I'm in love.

And I'm pregnant.

My boyfriend... is a white guy.

If my family finds out...

Stay right where you are!

I'm in love too.

And she's a white girl.

And I'm not sure

she sees a future with me.

I get it.

What are you doing about it?

I'm trying to build bridges...

not jump off them.

What's her name?

Natalie.

Boring!

OK!

What's yours?

Zarah.

I'm Deepak.

It will kill my parents if they knew!

Zarah, if you jump off this bridge,

your love ends.

But if you walk this way,

you can bring hope.

You don't wanna kill your love, Zarah.

Hey. Hey, come on.

You don't wanna do this.

- Let me go!

God! Please! Please!

Come on, Zarah.

It's gonna be OK!

H's OK.

Zarah, promise me

you'll tell your family about this.

Zarah,these are for you.

They'll help keep you calm,

and they're perfectly safe

during your pregnancy.

But just one a day for 2 weeks, OK?

I:

Honey!

Hello!

- Oh, look at the two of you!

- Ah?

Ah?

Ah!

- Real good, Britney Spears!

Yay, Britney!

On! My, my!

- Look at this!

Huh'? All me.

Yeah. Oh,wow!

Oh, Natalie! There you are.

- I didn't even recognize you. Oh, hi!

'Hi!

- My hair, you mean.

That's all Rani.

Yeah, thank you!

Come on, come on!

- Shame on you! Oh, shame!

- Come dance!

- Where, um... where is the birthday boy?

- on!

- Where is Deepak?

That's right. Where is he?

Where is he?

Champagne for everybody!

# For he's a jolly good fellow #

# For he's a jolly good fellow #

# For he's a jolly good fellow #

# Which nobody can deny #

# Uh-huh #

# Really #

# Come on #

Happy birthday, Dr. Cabbie.

Hey.)'-

. Hey-

- So, I, uh... I thought you said

it was a small party.

It's not that big.

By Indian standards.

Oh, right.

You've been running

away from me all night.

Natalie, look, it's... it's OK.

I... I may never end up

being a doctor again,

and could just be a cabbie

for the rest of my life.

- Wait...

What are you talking about?

I saw the pictures in the newspaper.

Listen, he tricked me.

He planted those pictures

for his potential campaign,

and... I should've known better.

Colin can offer you the world.

He can, and he did.

But I have my own.

Tony! Tony!

Whoo-hoo!

- Hey!

- No! No! What are you doing?

# Uh-huh #

# Uh-huh mm-hmm #

What's going on?

Deepak Chopra,

you are under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say

can or will used against you

in a court of law.

You have a right to an attorney...

Don't worry!

...one will be appointed to you.

Do you understand your rights?

Please!

Tony!

No, please!

Where are you taking him?

Please, listen to me!

This is a mistake!

Zarah's life hangs by a thread.

So does Dr. Cabbie's fate.

Once the darling of the city,

he could now face up

to 15 years in jail

on charges ranging

from impersonating a doctor

to dispensing controlled drugs

without a license

and criminal negligence

causing bodily harm.

The cabbie from India

who fought for his hospital residency

may be fighting

for his own residency in this country.

Please, please!

I'm here today to offer support,

I'm hereto offer sympathy,

and more than anything,

to find solutions

to help this shattered family

and this outraged city.

Well, after this Dr. Cabbie's trial,

on behalf of the Mahmoods,

our law firm is gonna launch a civil suit

that will make sure that this hard-working,

immigrant family...

never has to work

another day in their lives.

Thank you. That's all for now.

One question!

Your lawyer's here.

Hey!

What are you doing here?

I'm hereto see you, idiot!

I, um...

I started my own law firm today.

As your first patient,

I'd like to ask you

if you'd be my first client.

- Natalie, I do not want to drag you

into all of this.

- Deepak, I dragged myself into this

the moment I set foot in your cab.

You're wasting your time.

- Do you believe you did the right thing

by treating those people?

Drop it! It's over.

Maybe I was wrong about you.

Maybe you don't believe

what you did was right.

Maybe you're not the man

I thought you were.

I'm not.

Attorney Wilman!

Please wait!

Sign here.

I'm gonna need a lot of autographs.

By the way, really liking the stubble, doc.

Bail was set at $25,000.

Your uncle took care of it.

Before you sign this rookie

who is going up against a 28-year veteran,

just know that there's always a risk.

Like, a risk that you

may never be a doctor again.

We're in this together.

Hey...

Hmm! Wilcher!

- Uh-huh'?

- Wilchie!

- Uh-huh'?

These pics are great.

Here you go.

The cops have been following

this guy for months.

- You nail this cabbie,

I'll make you my chief legal officer

when I'm elected mayor.

Look, I don't care

how you do it,just...

get Dr. Rickshaw sent back

to wherever the hell it is he came from.

- Dr. Curry will be sent home in a hurry.

Not to worry.

- That's racist.

- Uh...

- I gotta keep this stupid family-man act up

till after the election.

I just want him out of Natalie's life.

Hey, listen, talking about your baby-mama,

I hear she wants to play lawyer.

Is she any good?

- Oh, Natalie's very, very good.

She used to work under me.

I like a good fight.

Oh, you mean as a lawyer? Pfft!

No, I... I wouldn't worry about her.

Lawyer!

Hey. you all right?

Deepu?

Deepu...

Hi, Deepu!

- Natalie! Natalie, are you ready?

Are you ready?

- Papa's with you!

- It's all gonna be OK.
