Anyway, the two of us are going

soft music, and all that.

We're the hard music types

That's my boy,

What a fab dancer Anaida is..

Really.

Actually Steve's been after

me to go to Jharokha..

He's very curious about what the

Southall crowd does there?

We blow up bombs.

Lateef, half plate kebabs here..

lt's coming..

Huffy Bhai..

My heart's amada (ready)

to meet her..

Showing of your Urdu today,

Ok you go meet her and we'll cook

up some excuse for Anaida..

Just say her mum died.

Died.

Sure.

Anaida's mum's died and l've come to

the dance competition to meet you..

..now will you dance with me Alvira?

Give me break Huffy Bhai,

When you were cooking

up this fantastic story..

should have created Anaida

with someone real in mind.

Then in a crisis like this, we

could've used her as Anaida.

That's exactly what l did..

..but she won't agree

to go as Anaida.

Who is it?.. Tell me

l'll talk to her.

No, you'll clobber me.

l won't.. go on.

Laila..

Laila?

Our Laila?,

She's quite a looker.

So why do you stay away from her?

Paying for sex is not nice..

Here call her.

Oh no dear.. it's best

if you talk to her.

Hey Lateef is a half-plate

going to take a full hour?

Are you butchering a goat?

Take it easy Huffy Bhai..

Speed it up here.. Are

you butchering a goat,?

lt'll all get set.

..and give my regards to Laila..

What's this

Steve-is-dying-to-meet-you rubbish?

He said Alvira who, how

could l have said..

l'm dying to meet

you after that.

And you shouldn't.. he'll

be there with his fiance.

At least once l have to see that

dodgy Anaida, who's trapped my Rikki.

Your Rikki, Have you lost it?

Yes..

The go. But you're not going to park

yourself at Jharokha are you?

Right now l have to go to your

showroom.. to convince Steve.
