Happy Ending Page #3

---

It's your neck on the line.

But I'll get you out.

- We will.

Can I tell you something, Armaan?

You spent a fortune coming

here, and you're with the best writer.

Let's get him to write something fresh.

Where are you from originally?

I am from San Francisco.

No wonder.

Listen, do whatever, but

I want a young love story.

- Consider it done.

He'll write a great story and

make you a ladies' heartthrob.

In fact, I say you'll be

the heartthrob of the gents as well.

Control, your emotions.

And, oh yeah, I spoke to

Jennifer, for an item song.

Jennifer? - Our Jenny from the block?

JLo. JLo.

Sorry, my bad. JLo.

Jennifer.

Just make sure the film

is a worldwide blockbuster.

Done, Sir. I guarantee you.

Kickass.

Kickass.

- Kickass.

Sunglasses?

Here you go, Sir.

Superstar. Heroine.

JLo.

Romantic comedy.

Classes. Masses.

Bollywood.

Multiplex.

Single screen.

Kickass.

I am so screwedl

Where do I get this kickass from?

What am I there for?

What do you know about romcoms?

Romantic comedy? Very easy.

First, boy meets girl.

They cross paths, just like that.

They're polar opposites

but complete each other.

Then, conversations.

Hello? But why? Because you..

And then Lovel Lovel Lovel Lovel

But, all boys are doggie.

And all girls are not doggie.

Something goes wrong.

Then comes "l've changed.

I'm completely sorry. I love you".

In the end, everything's happyl

But yes, the boy and

girl should be handsome.

Costumes by Manish (Malhotra),

Abu Jani...

Music by Pritam.

And if you go abroad

to shoot them, great.

That's how you write a romantic comedyl

"And this is the secret

only true lovers share."

"The joy they find in each other,

and the dreams they dare to dream.."

"..is by virtue of the

power of love that engulfs them."

"Consumes them.

And transcends all bounds."

"So her thoughts were exactly this."

"Love me..and free my soul."

"l love you..and I adore you."

"And I do this

because I do not know.."

"..any other way of loving."

"And I am just thankful."

$1 What lheul

Thank you.

Beautiful writing. Beautifull

That last chapter

tears just welled up.

I was really choking.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

I'm the one who wrote it.

But every time I read it,

it still makes me emotional.

It's my favorite chapter.

Mine too.

You've read my book?

- No.

But I will now.

For sure.

- I hope you like it.

Incidentally,

what kind of books do you like?

I like all kinds of books.

Put a telephone directory

in front of me, I'll even read thatl

Have you read this book?

I hear it's really good.

That's a really old book.

It's still on the shelves?

Well, it's a classic.

Classic? Why, there's no depth in it.

He wrote something. And

he just got lucky.

You just said you

like all kinds of books.

What's so wrong with this one?

It's just a one-book wonder.

He wrote something for the heck

of it and it became a hit. By fluke.

My agent said he's totally ruined.

Poor guy's on the streets now.

Should I sign you a copy?

Your name?

- Yu..

Yogi.

Yogi. See you.

Hang on a second.

Half of them fell asleep listening.

Actually, I almost

fell asleep readingl

You know, I don't get it.

Why do people show up at readings?

Clearly, they have

nothing better to do.

If they love books, why can't they

just buy the book and read it at home?

Omigodl I forgot to tell you.

After the reading,

an Indian came up to me..

And said, "Beautiful

writing my eyes welled up..

"..L was choking..

Really choking."

What a pansyl

I know right?

I'm actually writing

all this romantic bull..

Which people are buying..

And getting sentimental,

can you believe it?

I knowl

If anyone hears me like this

That's it. I'll be banned.

Hello. - She's a fraudl

That girl is a fraud. And she

had the gall to criticize my bookl

Yudi, I am pregnant.

She's selling rubbish and she knows it.

Her readers are all a big joke for herl

Man, I am the joke here.

I'm going to read her book..

Throw it on her face and say

"This is nonsense."

I am having an oops baby.

- What?

Oopsubaby.

Oopsl

Congratulations?

Montu?

This is our Wall of Fame.

All bestselling authors.

And here you are.

Got it put up just yesterday.

How is it?

Cool, right?

- Yeahl

What a roguel

Oh..

Ohl

We meet again.

I read your book.

- I see.

Mind-blowingl

The way you've explained love..

And that line, "To gain something,

you have to lose something."

What an original linel

Every page had me emotional.

I sat with a box of tissues

I know who you are.

- Really?

I saw your photo upstairs.

Gary told me all about you.

Ohl

Oh?

I hope he said good things.

He said to me, "You could

be very successful

"Just never Yudi your life."

That ldiotl

Hold on. Did he say

this or are you saying it?

What is your problem?

Why are you following me?

I am writing a romantic comedy.

And I thought I'd read your book.

And guess what I found out

You are a fraudl

- What? What do you mean?

"If anyone hears

me like thisu"

"..l'll be banned."

- Stop it.

"L such am a big writer now.

All of America has read my book."

"My agent says I am No. 1."

"What I didn't know is that agent

...gives this spiel

to all his clients.

By the way, you write well.

But I have to tell you one thing.

Your book readings are so boring..

That people were falling asleep.

I'm sure some even died.

- It's okay.

My books sell.

Yes, but the question

is entertainment.

How do we make your

readings more entertaining?

You don't need to do anything.

I'll manage.

How about some advice from a senior,

super successful writer

to a budding writer?

- No, thank you.

Shhl Just listen.

People aren't there for

your reading skills, you know?

They're there to meet the writer

- see if his personality is exciting..

...all his experiences in life.

What, should I read out my biodata?

- No, but be charming.

Chat with your audience,

crack some jokes.

They'll read your book at home.

So for one hour,

spend 15 minutes reading.

Nonsense your way

through the remaining 45.

That's how you make fans.

One second, who are you?

Best-selling writer, friend,

philosopher, studl Nice to meet you.

Pleasure is all yours.

Yudi-pudie piel

- Aaarrghhl

What are you doing here?

- Giving you a lift.

But...why..

How did you know I'm here?

So I downloaded this app

on both our phones.

Il tells me where you are. Always.

It's called No Spacel

Are you tracking me?

- I love you.

Come on, let's go.

- Where?

Where?

Happy birthday 10..

Oh nol

ls it your Dad? Mom?

You had an appointment today.

- What appointment?

Dentist?

- Oh no, no, I'm fine.

Don't be a baby. Come on.

Pleasel I don't want to go, Vishakha.

Listen-

You've done a lot for my teeth.

But this time, I'm okay. Reallyl

I have to say, this Aanchal girl?

I dig her.

She's just right for you.

Whatever floats your boat, man.

Wowl What a fluke.

- Your birth was a fluke, man.

And Vishakha?

- Oh, yeah.

I've got to break up with her. Again.
