The Heart Stealer

Do keep some space for pudding!

Pudding? Have you made it?

Pudding? Have you made it? - Caramel custard!

In that case, I'll definitely keep some space!

Nanda, I was thinking...

What is it?

I was thinking... that in the next few days... if I don't get a good secretary...

... I'll be in a fix!

Master, why did you fire Bhuban?

He seemed quite competent! And besides...

He seemed quite competent! And besides... - Competent?!

Bhuban lied to me! And he thought he could get away with it!

Who doesn't lie about little things, Grandpa?

But did he try and embezzle any money...?

But did he try and embezzle any money...? - No.

That he didn't. But he could have!

That he didn't. But he could have! He who lies is more than capable of stealing!

Keeping such a person in this house is not a good idea!

Tell me I'm wrong!

And... what if he...

... stole my Sunstone? What would I do then??

You're worrying too much, Grandpa!

Breaking that huge lock on the prayer room door to steal the Sunstone is no mean feat!

That is not the point! There is no substitute for caution!

If I find anyone lying, I will not keep him in...

... give me some pudding!

So, what will you do now?

This time, I'll do proper research before appointing a new secretary.

Proper research? - Yes.

I'll post an advertisement in the paper. Applicants need to have their astrological charts prepared.

So, anyone coming to apply will need to bring along their horoscope?

Yes, exactly!

Then, if I study their charts and see that they are good people...

... and not liars, I might...

Mmm! This tastes amazing! - Thank you!

Master, speaking of horoscopes, I just remembered something.

What does this young lady's horoscope say?

She's been studying for years now! When is she going to get married?

I haven't studied her horoscope in a while now. I'll get down to it tomorrow.

9 o' clock!

Won't you have your dinner?

Won't you have your dinner? - I will, as soon as dada (elder brother) returns.

What? Monu hasn't returned yet?

What? Monu hasn't returned yet? - No, he hasn't...

I never get to know when he returns!

You know I don't like anyone staying out later than 10!

You know I don't like anyone staying out later than 10! - He'll be back before then.

Before 10...? - Master...

Sir never stays out for even a minute after 10. He always returns before that!

That's good then. But why does he stay out so late? What does he do?

What else?

He either plays Bridge with his friends, or goes to the club to play Snooker.

Pastime activities are fine. But what about the fact that he lost his job?

I fail to understand the lifestyle habits of this generation!

Is he looking for a new job?

He must be...

No matter what you say, Nanda...

There can be no excuse for staying out later than 10pm!

Those who do, are of questionable moral character!

Sebak, make sure you check that all the doors and windows are shut.

Yes, Master.

Sebak? - Master?

From the third bookcase...

Get me Horoscopes: A Manual.

Horo-what?

It's an Astrology book. Come, I'll show you.

Do you think Sir will have his dinner outside?

Do you think Sir will have his dinner outside? - I don't know.

In that case, should I cover up the food on the table?

In that case, should I cover up the food on the table? - Yes, do that.

I'm getting tired of having to lie to the Master every single day!

Where does Sir go every night?

What does he do out so late at night?

What does he do out so late at night? - How am I supposed to know, Sebak?

Here you are.

No more for me, Lily! My quota is complete!

No more for me, Lily! My quota is complete! - How so?

You've just had your second drink!

You've just had your second drink! - I have to get back home!

I've been spending so much time with you...

... and I have yet to see you get drunk!

... and I have yet to see you get drunk! Here you go. Take it!

Spending time together is not the same as spending our lives together, Lily!

Wow! My Monu is getting emotional today!

Seriously! I've been telling you to come to my house for ages, but you never did!

Do you know why I didn't come?

Do you know why I didn't come? - No, why?

I'm afraid.

Afraid of?

What if your grandfather doesn't like me?

Why do you think so? Of course he'll like you!

And besides, who'll be marrying you? Grandpa or I?

Alright! I'll go!

You will? When?

Alright, I'll come and pick you up tomorrow!

No no! Not tomorrow! Another day perhaps.

No no! Not tomorrow! Another day perhaps. - When?

Monu, you have to get serious about your life.

Get a job first.

Stand on your own two feet again.

After that, I'll go with you!

At first, it was just Grandpa and Nanda! And now you too! I'm going to go crazy!

Don't go crazy just yet!

Don't go crazy just yet! I'll take you someplace nice. Come on!

Where?

Where, you ask?

It's a place...

... where going without you is meaningless!

... where going without you is meaningless! - Is that so?

It's open!

It's almost 11pm! When will you eat?

I'll wait for a bit longer. You go have your meal.

Forget about my meal! Maybe the Master doesn't know, but you do! And still you don't say anything!

I've told him a thousand times!

I've told him a thousand times! He replies everytime saying he won't be late again!

What else am I to do? - We'll wait and see for a few days.

After that, I'll give him the keys. He can then return home and eat whenever he wants!

I have to stay awake longer! If this keeps up I'm going to end up quitting some day!

Come on!

Let's go! - My goodness!

Well, she didn't take too long to get dressed!

Come on!

Sit!

Hello!

Two Mojitos please! - Mojito?

Extra sweet! Just like you!
