Mann Page #2

l swear!

You seem to be in a hurry.

The ship is travelling so fast,

And time flies faster!

We haven't a moment to lose!

Not a moment to lose!

Come, let us forget everything else.

Your brother?

Daddy?

No.

- Uncle?

- Not at all.

My fiance.

Still alive?

Alive and kicking.

lf he were to see you in

this posture...

... it mightn't be too good for you.

l see!

Forgive me. Not a nice match.

That's a personal opinion.

You keep your opinions to yourself.

Everyone else says,

we are a fine pair.

- Get it?

- ln parts.

But tell me, have you ever cheated?

Or, shall l call them ''small mistakes''?

Spanning. Say three or four days?

Or say, three or four hours?

l have never made any mistakes.

And l intend not to.

Well...

What did you say?

l mean, it's a pleasure meeting

the ideal lndian Woman!

Good night, and long live the nation!

Leaving already? But we were

supposed to spend the night together!

l intended to. But l miss my Mummy!

l want to hold her photograph

and cry my heart out!

Or is it your Grannie?

What did you say?

- Come, let me see you off.

- Thank you. l'll manage.

Oh not at all. The host

always sees the guest off.

Come on.

Come on.

Walked into a ''no entry'' zone.

About turn.

The ice isn't breaking.

Hurt your little ego?

On the contrary, l'm enjoying this.

For the first time. l've found

someone who matches up to me.

May l say something?

We can be friends, can't we?

No, l mean no hanky, panky,

no messing around.

Just hundred percent.

Pure friendship.

- Just friends?

- l swear by my girlfriends!

Done?

Done.

l'm famished.

Will you buy one dinner?

Judging from the way you speak

about ladies...

l'm sure you don't

hold women in much esteem.

Wrong. Entirely.

Believe me. l have this great

respect for women.

l hold them in very high regard.

They're up there!

Up in the air?

No. Up there. On a throne.

But once l start getting to

know them more closely...

The esteem falls,

oh ever so slightly.

Oh yes. And then the wavering.

And then, the final crash.

Correct.

Don't you think you might be

breaking a few hearts?

l'm left a few broken hearts

behind. But what to do?

You take me for a friend, don't you?

Can l tell you something as a friend?

You break the trust

people repose in you.

Winning a confidence is easy;

Carrier yet, breaking it.

But living up to it... That's tough.

And man he is, who won't break the

trust; One who will live up to it.

Don't you think?

You didn't answer my question.

Enough about me. Now tell me

something about yourself.

- We'll talk about me tomorrow.

- Why tomorrow?

We have the whole evening to

ourselves.

And we will have the tomorrow too.

- How was it last night?

- Fine.

Without you breathing down

my neck, it was peaceful.

- Yes?

- What?

- Did you say something?

- No. But you will about yourself.

My story is nowhere as interesting

as yours.

l was a two-year old when my

parents died in an accident.

l was brought up in

an orphanage in Poona.

When l grew up, l started teaching

music. To the orphans in the home.

He was a chief guest at one of these

charity shows.

- Who? That fellow in the photo?

- Yes.

After the show,

he made a proposition.

Love at first sight?!

He proposed setting up a music

academy in Bombay.

- l see.

- And l accepted.

After some time, he propositioned me.

l accepted.

- Well, that's all about my life.

-That's just a leaf out of your book.

That's all there is.

Dev! Stop him!

- Nice camera.

- lmported! Made in Singapore!

Worth 500 dollars.

Takes great pictures!

- Can l see it?

- Go on.

- How does it open up?

- Over there.

-The roll just springs out. lt's easy.

-Hey, there's nothing on this.

- You threw my roll away!

- l'll dump the camera too.

l know! l know why you

dumped my camera!

So people won't get to know what the

two of you are doing on the sly!

But l'm going to tell them!

all about your affair!

- l'll fix you!

- You dare!

- No. Don't you hit me!

- Get out.

l'll tell the whole world!

- Where are you off to?

- Now l know what it means...

- To be seen with you.

- But wise just friends.

Mr Dev, Your reputation precedes you.

l go my way.

You go yours.

My way?

l should be going my way.

Found my way!

You remind me of a poem!

As pretty as the moon!

As vibrant as the flower in blossom?

As beautiful as a poem!

Like marble sculpted to

our exquisite splendour.

The exquisite beauty

of the Taj Mahal?

By the way,

l am Dev Karan Singh.

- What are you doing this evening?

- Nothing.

Then l have something

interesting for you.

Kamini, you're the last of the

beauties God created.

So now you're appreciating him

from a good distance, right?

And where is he now?

Romancing his new find Kamini.

- And my son had such dreams for you!

- About her, and me...

and a few of ours dream

of a happy family!

- Look how she ditched me for him!

- And now he's flown too!

What nonsense! Nothing of the sort

ever happened between Dev and me.

That's what they all say

once they've been spurned!

You don't believe me, do you?

Wait, l'll prove it to you.

Sure. Go on.

Will you come down

for a moment, please?

Not now. l'm busy.

Listen to me! l must talk to you.

This is important!

l told you l'm busy!

Shall we go to the restaurant?

He isn't listening anymore.

Poor thing! All she can do now

is throw herself in the sea!

Not as long as l'm alive!

l'm still willing.

Right. Here take the bride price.

And say yes to Popat.

Don't you miss this one last chance?

Lunching it out

all alone! Poor thing!

Priya! Listen to me!

You're behaving as if

you've seen a ghost!

Worse! You're a catastrophe!

l just want to stay away from you!

l can't even walk out of my

cabin! All thanks to you?

You know the rumours

doing the sounds?

Forget all that. And listen to me.

Sit down.

Tomorrow, this ship is docking

at a beautiful island.

An island of flowing stream...

... fragrant forests...

And such wonderful scenarios!

And you want me to accompany you, right?

Who's talking about you?

l'm taking Kamini along.

Go on. Take her along.

Why have you come to me?

- You want my permission?

- Your help, darling.

Kamini's kid brother has

told his mother all about us.

Why does God have to make kids?

Why not sent them all grown up?

So now Kamini's mother isn't letting

her go unescorted.

What can l do to help?

Just talk her mother into letting her

come with you to the island.

You want me to do the

dirty work for you?

Priya! Don't refuse me!

Look, what are friends for?

Get lost, my friend!

What are you doing?! Leave me!

- l won't!

- Everybody is watching!

Let them watch!

Let me go! You're already given me

a bad name!

l won't! Not unless you say

you'll do it for me.

All right! l will! Now leave me!

- You swear it by your fiance?

- l swear!

So tomorrow. At the Oriental Bazaar.

And don't be late.

Kamini! l thought we'd

never see each other again!

l couldn't sleep all last night!
