yes, l'll just show it to you.

Just wait. -Sister, where are

you going? -Wow, Meera, wow!

What guests you've invited!

-Cooky! -Shut up!

Meera, l know that your

lifestyle is very modern.

But why have you invited

her? l mean..

What sort of people are

these? -But what?

Do whatever you want to with

your life. lt's yours!

But, sister. Sister!

lt's her. -What? -Cooky!

But what has Cooky done?

-Don't you know, Cooky?

She told me that she

takes 4000$..

..for one night.

Are you alright? -Yes, l'm

fine. Take this wine.

Okay, l remembered

some work. Bye!

Dev!

How many times have l told you

not to smoke in the house?

Oh, l'm really sorry.

Here. -Listen, don't flatter me.

l don't like these business

meetings at home.

We've finished with our meeting.

lt's done!

And you've got a prostitute in

my house and l don't like that!

Meera!

Well..

l can't wait here anymore.

Sorry, Mr. lsha. -lsha!

There's definitely some

misunderstanding.

Please! -Dev!

You offered great hospitality.

C'mon, Cooky. We're leaving!

You'll have to leave!

l've never enjoyed

so much before.

lt was a great pleasure

to meet you all.

Greetings! -Oh stop it!

Oh, sit down. Please sit.

l'll get away. -Let

me get up. -No, no!

l'm an expert.

lt was great meeting you all.

Well..

We've other ways left.

Let's ask Nimesh.

l'll not ask for

a loan from him.

ls there any other choice?

C'mon! Let's go inside.

And, yes..

..don't say anything to Meera.

Everything's become a mess.

Don't know whom to blame.

On the newspaper..

..on Meera or my fate.

lt's good that we didn't

get lsha's money.

What are you trying to say?

l'm doing all this with

a fore thought.

Newspaper, for me,

is not only a..

..medium of earning money.

Without the newspaper..

..everything will make no sense.

lf you need any reference or..

..anything. l'm there!

Okay!

Dev, let me remind you that we

have guests at home today.

So, if you're done with

your business talks.

Then we can go in and

attend to the guests.

l'm sorry.

Keep your mouth shut, it's

an important call.

lt's his baby's call.

Hey, baby. What's up?

How are you doing?

What did you say?

No, l'm at home.

l'm in the tub..

l swear on you.

lt's just the TV making

noise, nothing else.

That's nothing just that the

soap slips out of my hand.

No, no. l'll just

take bath and..

..l'll talk to you till my

heart's content, isn't it baby?

Yeah, honey. l love you

too. Alright! Bye!

Good!

Hey!

Bloody, he's shooting me.

All of you get inside. l'll

get hold of him. Go!

What are you waiting

for? Go inside!

l'll kill him!

Hey Dev!

Where did you send Cooky?

l just saw her going.

He had to reach somewhere.

lsha also had some work.

So..

Are you okay? -Kamala, please

get a glass of water.

Yes, l have one near

me. Take it!

Take it!

You won't take it because

l served it?

l've always been made to feel

that because l'm a Muslim.

Look, Javed, let me tell

you one thing clearly.

l don't drink water

from a person who..

ls a Muslim! -You shouldn't be

saying this. -No, no, no.

lt's okay. Let her speak

out. She can.

l'm sorry, man. -lt's alright!

lt's a big, happy family.

Okay, hello everyone.

Has anybody died?

-Brother-in-law!

Dev, your toilet flush

is not working.

No, it's okay, l'll mend it.

You'll need a rod for it. -No,

it's okay. l'll mend it.

Anybody can need it.

There are so many guests. -l

don't know where l'll get rod but..

..l'll find it and fix it.

-Okay, he'll fix it.

l saw a hardware shop

while coming..

..l'll get it. Anyways,

l want to go out.

There's a store 4 blocks ahead

of 25th avenue, to the left.

Oh excellent! So, doctor, why

don't you go along with him?

He's not an infant to seek

some help from me. -C'mon!

l think, even you should go.

Look! -Alright!

The ladies don't want

me to stay here.

Even l'll have a ride. -Meera!

Will you do me a favour?

Just take care of

Jennifer after l leave.

l hope she doesn't have to

tackle religious issues.

Did you say anything?

l'm sorry, Javed.

Okay, let's do a thing..

Let's all take a drink. C'mon,

hurry up! Come, come!

Richard!

Why are you distracting me?

Let me think, let me think!

How does it make a difference

whether someone's a Muslim..

..or not. -What's wrong

in being a Muslim?

l don't see any problem.

Why are we arguing?

Why do you get so upset when

there's a talk about Muslims?

Because l'm a Muslim.

-l know that, l do!

Good, then why are you

talking about it?

Forget all this. Let's

find the rod!

Go and listen to what they're

talking. -No, l won't go. -Go!

l don't have the energy

to make you understand.

lt's such a silly thing.

l was giving her water and

she refused to take it.

l had seen that, Javed. -l'm

not ill. -l know you, Javed!

But there are many old people

like Vani, who are old-school.

Right. -And there's

no cure to this.

lf there's some grave

problem in America.

lt's the issue of terrorism.

What? -l'm a filmmaker,

not a terrorist.

Not why are you yelling at me?

When did l say that you're not

a filmmaker but a terrorist?

l'm just trying

to make you understand.

Now forget this argument!

And let's leave this place!

-Here, l got it!

ls this the one? Check

out! -Here, take it!

C'mon, let's go!

You offend me, friend.

Why? What did l say?

You very well know to twist

tales. There's politics..

..behind all this. Whether

it's bush.. -You're right!

Had Bush or America not steeped

on our.. -No, no!

There would've been no problem.

-You're not getting me.

There would've been no

terrorist. -Look, behind this..

..there's a big hand. lt's

a chance for Bush..

..to trespass Middle-East.

-Should l pay?

No, l have it! Thank

you. Thank you!

When did l say that you don't

have. -Thanks for asking, friend.

Just a second. Come here!

l need to ask you something.

-What's up?

Do you have any ld? -Yes, sure.

l'll show it to you.

Why do you need an lD?

Because, after hearing

you people speak..

..l had a doubt, so..

l need you lD! -Look!

l won't show you my lD!

You're forcing me. Don't

compel me to..

Show me you lD! -No, no.

C'mon, right away! -No!

Move back! What are you doing?

-You can't do this to me.

Look, l'm the member of the

Chamber of Commerce.

Dr. Nimesh! -Yes.

l'm sorry. l beg your pardon.

l'm very shameful.

l'm so sorry. -Begs for pardon

after embarrassing.

l was just doing my

work. -l know!

An African blaming an Asian.

Well..

You're my bodyguard!

l'm enjoying with girls

in the Jacuzzi.

And that fellow shoots my film.

Were you whiling away

time there? Tell me!

Go, right away. And get

me that tape here.

What are you doing?

The both of you, get lost

from here. B*tch!

Get lost!

Ladies and Gentlemen!

On this beautiful evening, we're

going to present to you..

.. an amazing person.

A poet and a singer who has..
