Midnight's Children Page #7
up all of that before he was born.
She didn't give it up.
I found Aadam in her
basket of invisibility.
The soldiers looked
inside and shouted...
It's empty! It's empty!
I heard them with my own ears.
But you saw him?
I believed in her magic.
Always knew it was not a trick.
He's a fine child, child of dignity.
No matter he doesn't
speak but he will,
when he has something to say.
This chutney!
What's this? Where's it from?
Here, sir.
Oh! One from famous
Braganza Pickles of Bombay.
Picture-ji, we must go to Bombay.
Just now?.
Now.
Parvati was gone.
But in the five-syllable
monotony of the wheels,
"Abracadabra,
abracadabra, abracadabra,"...
...sang the wheels,
as they bore us back to Bombay.
Is Mrs Braganza here?
Yes, but you can't meet with her.
Where are you going?
Hello?
Who is it?
Saleem.
Oh...
You've become so thin.
Let me kiss you.
Mary, this is my son, Aadam.
And Aadam...
come here.
come, Little Baba.
Blow. Blow.
Happy birthday.
Bless you.
Abba...
He spoke!
He's speaking.
Abba...
My God.
He's calling me "father".
Speak son, speak.
...abracadabra.
What did you say?
Abracadabra.
Another magic child.
So. A new generation...
but more careful.
Tougher.
born at midnight, once upon a time.
Great things were
expected of us both.
The truth has been less
glorious than the dream.
But we have survived
and made our way.
And our lives have been,
in spite of everything,
acts of love.
