Munna Bhai M.B.B.S Page #2

---

Come here.

''Now tell me, what's bothering you?''

''Ma, if l wasn't a doctor...''

What are you two up to?

''Nothing father. Just nostalgia,

about the village...''

So come back. You are so famous

in the village today.

''The naughtiest kid who became

a big doctor in the city!''

''He wasn't the naughtiest.

- Ah, right.''

''lt was l who stole fruits,

set fire to people's trousers... right?''

'Morning sir!

- 'Morning... What's going on?

''Oh, nothing.

They're loony bins. How's the Doc?''

He's fine. How much for a coconut?

Would l ever accept

money from you?

''Would you like one with water,

or a creamy one?''

Neither...if it's free.

Please don't do this!

- Ok ...l'm off!

''Stop, sir! l was kidding. Please...''

A coconut please.

Fifteen bucks for a creamy

one and ten for water!

''Excuse me, do l know you?''

''l don't know about that, but

l certainly know you, Dr. Asthana.''

Mr. Sharma!

- Correct!

How are you Mr. Sharma?

- You know each other?

Of course. When we finally

got a hospital...

he was the first doctor

to come to the village.

''He stayed for two years!

- Yes, but you, here?''

My son Munna has a hospital here.

Munna's hospital?

- Yes.

l don't understand.

- You don't need to.

Which coconut would you like?

- Hold on.

Munna's a doctor??

''Remember, l had told you my son

would become a doctor someday?''

You did sir... now should

l cut a cream coconut?

Hang on.

''Surprising...l live near by,

and l don't know of this hospital.''

Forget about it! What's that

got to do with my coconuts? You...

Damn you and your coconuts.

Stop it l say.

Lets go to my house.

- Sure.

''So, you say your son's

hospital is close by?''

But l know all the doctors around...

- Bananas?

''This standing around,

laughing loudly... what is that?''

Laughter therapy.

''lf you're tense, or angry,

you laugh loudly...''

it lowers the blood pressure.

But how do you laugh when you're tense?

- Practice!

''Look at me. The angrier l get,

the harder l laugh''

Please sit.

Please get another cup.

- Right away.

So where did Munna get

his M.B.B.S. degree from?

l don't know.

He was in high school when

he ran away from home.

lt was my fault - l was too strict.

l wanted him to be a doctor...

but he kept flunking.

- l remember.

l was so scared that he would

become a criminal...

''but fifteen years later

he called and said,''

Father l've become a doctor.

l can't express the joy l felt.

Tea.

''Mr. Sharma, good things

happen to good people.''

And how's your daughter Chinki?

- Good.

What does she do now?

- She's a doctor.

ls she married?

- l'm still looking for a groom -

''she insists on getting married

only to a doctor, someone she knows.''

She's right.

''Well, there is a doctor

Chinki's known as a child.''

''Co-incidentally,

l have his photo right here.''

What do you say?

Marriage! Not for me!

lt'll be a big problem.

Fine. Lets go Parvati.

- Where?

To our village! No one there negates

their parents' wishes so mercilessly.

What is all this? Mom...

- He's right.

My poor little heart

had just one last wish...

...to play with my grandkids.

Looks like l'll die without that joy

''You're making a mountain out of

a molehill. Circuit, explain to them!''

''Sir, you see...''

Brother is so busy 24/7...

the wife wouldn't understand the

pressures of running the hospital...

''Unless, of course,

she was a doctor herself.''

That's true. Only a doctor can

understand a doctor's pressures.

Exactly. Father...

Why are you smiling like that?

Mom? You too?

We've found a lady doctor for you.

And you have an appointment

with her tomorrow.

What doctor?!

Chinki.

Chinki! What kind of name is that?

Hang on...That Chinki?!

Brother how is Chinki to look at?

''Like, really pretty?''

''Well, when we were kids, she was a

fatso with two oiled pigtails,''

...and a perennial running nose.

We played together a lot.

''l'd be the doctor,

and she'd be the wife.''

''l'd go to the clinic,

she'd stay home and cook.''

''Well then, marriage sounds

like a good idea.''

''Use your head, Circuit!''

ln two days she'll see right

through this doctor drama!

''Just say, ''Dude, l'm not a doctor.

So bite me!!''

You talk like a doofus sometimes.

Why should l ruin her life?

''But Brother, something has to be done.

- You're right...''

Something must be done.

''Chinki! Munna's phone call, for you.''

Munna?

''Go on, talk to him.''

''Dad, do you mind?

- No, l don't mind.''

Talk nicely with him.

- OK dad.

''l'll speak nicely,

l'll marry him nicely...''

''we'll have nice little children,

and they'll call you grandpa.''

''Now, some privacy please?''

''Hello, Chinki?''

''Good morning, doctor.

You're an early riser.''

No. l haven't slept all night.

- Why? Was there an emergency?

Damn straight! l'm up sh*t creek

and sinking fast.

Why are you laughing?

- You're talking funny.

lt's how l speak.

''Fine, let's talk your talk then...

Wassup?! Gimme the dope on your life.''

''The buzz is you're a doc now, dude...''

''l'm not a doctor.

- Like, l know.''

Say what?

- l've known you for ages.

''You were a little ruffian,

and you're still the same, bro...''

''l'm not a ruffian, babe!

l'm a social worker.''

''l provide financial help, get it?''

Munna! Do you talk like

this to your patients as well?

''Patients?! l'm serious, Chinki,

l'm not a doctor.''

l don't have time to explain.

''When l come over, you reject me -

say l'm ugly - anything.''

''And please, make sure my father doesn't

find out - if he does, he'll die.''

''Gotta go. Reject me, OK?''

Your mother has bought

this for you.

You'll look regal in it.

''Hurry, your mother's ready and waiting.''

''Lakshmi, get the sugar separately

from the tea.''

What happened?

Someone owes you money?

- Money?

Wanna kidnap someone?

- What?!

Wanna have someone roughed up?

- What nonsense!

Then why is this photo here?

This is Chinki's

prospective bridegroom.

She's marrying that gangster -

Munna!?!

What happened?

''Chinki, go to the hospital.''

But... isn't Munna coming?

- l forgot to tell you.

lt's postponed till next week.

- But dad...

''Hurry up, fast!

l have some work here.''

''Good morning, sir.

- Shut up, man! l look like a dork!''

Now listen - call me every

''lf l'm not out in 20, get me out.''

''Chill, Brother. Chinki's on it,

she'll reject you.''

''Hello, sir.''

''Let's go, son.''

See? Laughter therapy.

''Yes, he must be nervous.''

''Munna, where did you get your

M.B.B.S degree?''

Doctors' degree...

Err... Dongri Medical College.

What is your specialisation?

''Hands? Feet? Bones?

Or, just...the throat?''

''ls everything OK? No stress, no mess?''

''Right, put him on glucose, and

call me if there's an emergency, OK?''

Right.

Your parents are very proud of

your achievements.

Do you feel proud too?

- No. l'm just a humble man.

You're not proud?

''Then are you ashamed, doctor?''

''Talk to me. Come on, answer me.''
