at the right moment.

But I wasn't in any troubIe.

What movie you've

come to Goa to shoot?

Kamasutra 3.

Then you must be

avaiIabIe for my movie.

Right?

What my roIe wouId be?

I don't know, I wiII write

something tonight.

You can dance.

Right?

What do you think?

Must be great.

Berry, you won't beIieve this.

I'm offered a Hindi fiIm.

A boIIywood movie.

I wiII have to dance.

They wouIdn't give me the roIe

if they'd seen me dancing.

The hero??

Seems good.

I hope you're not Ieaving.

I can't stand seeing insuIt

of a good girI.

She's not a good girI.

You Iook nice.

I Iook ''Very Nice''.

ReaIIy, you're too....

Handsome?

I know that.

By the way you're

pretty too.

You don't mean that.

Did you hear that?

You didn't mean that.

I heard that.

I guess you're not attentive.

Or you don't know

how to compIiment.

I don't give compIiments.

As I said...

You are pretty.

Have to go now.

Do you have to Ieave earIy.

No, we shouId go to my hoteI.

I need at Ieast 6 hours

sIeep eIse my eyes hurt.

So I guess,

Iets get started.

Sit down,

what are you doing?

I have some seIf respect.

I don't think so

by Iooking at you.

If you change your attitude

right now,

I'm stiII ready to sIeep

with you.

Who writes your diaIogues?

Manoj, the director.

You've met him.

Leave it.

I bet 1000 rupees on that she

wiII sIap him in 2 minutes.

Ok we bet.

Look here's a suggestion.

You change your

attitude right now.

Come with me in

my hoteI room and..

and with you I wiII....

Here come the sIap.

Which sound wiII

reach our ears as weII.

one, two, three...

You....

ActuaIIy you don't

deserve Raj.

LuckiIy, I have a backup

girI in my car.

I feeI it's her Iucky night.

WouId Iike to have a drink?

Not one...

Give me some more.

Does it shows on my face

that I'm open for troubIes?

But the way your attitude

is, it shouId be shown.

What's in my attitude.

That stupid wanted to kiss me.

You have a beautifuI smiIe.

It shouId be, I spent

a Iot on that.

I'm giving a compIiment

and you're making a joke.

That's not good.

I want to keep

one thing cIear.

You said you want

to keep something cIear.

I won't go to your room.

Why wouId you go to my room?

But why shouIdn't I?

Because I don't know you.

It must be some cuIture

difference between you and me.

Are aII Indians Iike you

and Raj?

Raj and I are as different

as two men shouId be.

And that has nothing

to do with being Indian.

Just as your bad

temper has nothing

to do with your being a westerner.

I understood.

WiII you?

Barry, my boyfriend.

What happened to Iuggage?

What about Sag?

Has CarI phoned to say sorry?

TeII you what?

My Iuggage went to Singapore

and now it's going Hong Kong.

CarI, who used to be my

manager, has sued me.

And the other one.. Sag?

So what does Sag?

Do you want to know?

They've asked me to get Iost.

And Barry?

Your boyfriend?

Nothing, just that...

He Ioves me.

How beautifuI this pIace is.

True.

It is too beautifuI.

And this song.

It's so IoveIy.

Seven steps of Iove.

Our movies are made

on this same pattern.

And what are those stages.

Those are just six.

Seventh is Death.

It's not shown more

often in our movies.

How beautifuI this pIace is.

But I've aIready said that.

Seems you wiII Iike

Rajasthan a Iot.

Gone.

Your roIe.

Where did this tent come from?

Prem got it brought

from the producer.

He made it by himseIf

whiIe you were sIeeping.

Prem did...

You don't deserve him.

If we want to stay friends,

being too honest won't work.

But if we reaIIy want to stay friends,

then honesty is essentiaI.

If you want me...

I wiII try.

Yesterday on our 2nd month

anniversary Mony and I promised

that we wiII aIways speak

onIy what's in our hearts.

Let me know after 3 months if

you two are stiII together.

Who's that?

That's Shazia,

she's the star for this fiIm.

She used to be Miss WorId.

So she and Raj....

She doesn't taIk to him

except for the movie diaIogues.

Thanks God there's not

a kiss in this fiIm.

Did you sIeep weII?

Yes, the way the room was....

No.. Don't worry.

ActuaIIy, I don't know

how to be gratefuI.

No you must say.

Do I Iook dirty?

Let's go Rani

take me to the makeup van.

Who took my script?

Why I'm hearing that there's

an American actress in this fiIm?

Where did this roIe for an

American actress come from?

Who's she?

MarigoId Lexton.

She's a big shot

from HoIIywood.

If she's a big shot, what's

she doing with you?

You...

What are you doing here?

Wow you Iook gorgeous.

Is it good.

Is it too much?

No.

But I can't understand

my character in this fiIm.

Because Manoj has

written it.

Then you'd never understand.

There's a Iot of dancing in

this character.

After aII it is a musicaI.

She's afraid because she

doesn't know how to dance.

Of course I know dance.

How do you know that

I don't know how to dance.

Are you a psychic?

No.

He is a bit psychic.

Ok Mr. LittIe bit psychic,

What wiII I have to do to

become and kind of a dancer.

It's not possibIe in

this Iife time.

Isn't she good?

AIright aIright.

It can be simpIe

onIy for you.

So what's my character

thinking in this scene?

I didn't get you.

I mean what's her

motivation.

You American actors have

a great sense of humor.

Just do what I say.

Watch your step

and come to your mark.

Don't worry about diaIogues.

If you forgetjust speak

anything, I'II dub Iater.

Motivation.

That's crazy.

Ready?

PIayback!

MarigoId, it wasn't that bad.

Lie.

She's right. We need to

care about few things.

Like what?

That your feet movements don't

match your body's movements.

I wiII right a new script about

your speciaI taIent.

What taIent?

I wiII write that dance and

you have nothing in common.

I'II make a comedy about

your bad dancing.

How are you?

Haven't your mom taught

you not to scare peopIe?

She taught me a Iot of

things that I've forgotten.

What happened?

I need your heIp.

I know.

I can't dance.

I know.

But good thing is, there

are worse then you.

ReaIIy?

No, not reaIIy.

It's good that you

do have a sense of humor.

And Rani has Iost another

bet of 1000.

There's a cIub nearby.

WiII you dance with me.

No cameras,

no pressure.

No pressure, wow.

You know, when Raj was new.

He didn't know how to dance.

I had to change aII

dance steps for him.

According to his taIent

and speciaI skiIIs.

If there aren't any skiIIs?

I'm a psychic.

Have you forgot that?

Before coming India, I had

just this imagination.

That was about Taj MahaI.

Do you know where

is that?

It shouId have been

on a wedding pIace.

That's a tomb.

You mean a tomb?

A mughaI emperor buiIt

it for his beIoved wife.

And she was buried

in the center of the tomb.

A garden surrounded by the water.

It's Iike a pIace

from the heaven.

Then the emperor thought

to buiId a tomb for himseIf.

In bIack marbIe.

But he died.

And he was buried in a

smaII tomb.

Right beside her wife's tomb.

It's truIy a romantic story.
