Albert Einstein has apparently said.

Apparently said...

That if all the bees

in the world die...

...exactly four years

after that all men will die.

That's right. That's right.

All men die. All men die.

Oh no. No cell phones then. If all

the men die, what will happen to me?

You're bad.

This cream has an extra

care skin nourishing lotion...

...which contains Aloe Vera,

Calamine and Jojoba oil...

...which restore the

pH scale of the skin.

The pH is an algorithm of

the activity of hydrogen ions...

...in a solution...

...which tells you how

acidic or basic it is.

The exponentials of

hydrogen ions being very high...

...it's not practical to measure it.

It's not an absolute term,

it's just a relative.

Basically it means...

this cream is very nice.

Okay.

- Okay.

I'll take it.

- Okay.

I trained for a year and then

took a further course in LA.

I mean... But I did want to make it.

I think training is really important.

How can you cut

somebody's hair without it?

And that's how I came here.

You?

Were you saying something to me?

And I think you know the most

we know the most we can do is...

...just texturise it a

little bit, thin it out. And...

Even I want to have my

hair cut by you, Mandira.

Yeah. I know, Rizvan. But...

Please, please. Please

cut my hair. Please.

Yeah. And I am dying

to cut your hair.

No, no, no, no. Don't die.

- But maybe later?

No, don't die.

Just cut my hair now.

Rizvan...

- No, now.

So? How is it?

Marry me.

Marry me.

Liked it so much?!

Hang on. One second.

Marry me.

- Excuse me.

Hello?

Sameer. Hi.

Reached home?

Okay. Okay, I'm coming.

Bye. Love you.

Sameer?

Sameer! Sameer! Sam!

Come on. Please, hurry up.

- Coming!

Quickly. Come on! Come on! Come on!

You put everything into the bag?

- Yup.

Summer camp project?

- Yup.

Lunch.

- Yup.

Soccer gear?

I think I forgot.

Mom, stop acting. You

forgot deliberately.

Do you have to play soccer?

It's dangerous.

What if you get hurt playing?

What if I get hurt

running this way with you?

Nothing will happen to you here.

I'm here. Your Mom!

Mom, stop being so dramatic.

You are such a drama queen.

Yeah, I am.

Okay. Almost there.

Almost there. Almost there.

Thank God. We are on time.

Okay. Bye, Mom.

Where's my hug? Where's my kiss?

Stop it, Mom. I have got reputation.

Reputation.

Bye!

- Bye!

Bye! The apple of my eye.

Love me till I die...

Bye!

Oh God. Oh sh*t.

Hey, Rizvan. Hi.

Hi. Any sales appointment?

You are divorced.

Divorced.

Rita told me you are divorced.

You were 19 when you

had an arranged marriage.

You came to America

with your husband.

He harassed you a

lot for three years...

...and then left for

Australia with another woman.

It must take a long time to

run till Australia, right?

He divorced you from there and

didn't even pay you alimony.

Such a beast! Slimy! Idiot!

He hasn't called you even

once in the last four years.

Hasn't even spoken to Sam.

Now, where is he going

to come back...

Slimy bastard, mother...

Mother...

...I can't say the next word.

You have said enough.

Thank you.

- Welcome.

Marry me.

- Just go.

Marry me.

- Just go, okay?

Marry me.

Okay.

Mandira...

- No, Rita.

No more appointments tomorrow!

Mrs. V is coming tomorrow and

her hair colouring takes time.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

- Bye, girl.

Rizvan, are you okay?

No!

- What? Rizvan!

Please...

- No...

What happened?!

Hi.

You run fast.

I don't like yellow.

Okay.

- No.

Is that for me?

Yes. This and this.

But I won't give it to you.

Why?!

- No.

I love balloons.

- No, no, no, no.

In fact, Sam loves balloons.

- No.

Whenever he sees them, he

wants to set them free in the sky.

Red, blue, pink, green...

these colours look good on you.

Yellow, yellow, dirty fellow.

Yellow, yellow, dirty fellow.

Okay.

- Okay.

Sorry.

- Sorry.

Can we go now?

- Okay. - It's cold.

Okay?

- Okay.

Let's go.

Look. I'm sorry I was angry.

Your words reminded me of

all that I wanted to forget.

He really was a...

...beast. Slimy. Idiot.

- Yeah.

Slimy. Idiot and all that.

So, you don't love him?

No. No, no. Of course not.

Not that, but I feel bad that

Sam will never know his father.

If you don't love him, marry me.

Marriage is not a joke.

You know. You don't even know me.

I know you well.

You give fruit to

Roger the homeless.

You cut hair. You do

good deeds. You are good.

You're okay. - Knowing

just that is not good enough.

Yes. Yes. It's enough for me.

Marry me.

It's... - Marry me. - Oh,

God. I want to kill myself.

Marry me. - I'm fed up... - Oh, no,

no, no, no, no. Don't kill yourself.

Oh, no, don't kill yourself.

Don't die. Please, don't die.

- I'm joking.

Please don't die.

- I was joking. - Please don't die.

Relax, I'm joking.

- Please don't die.

I don't understand...

Mandira. Mandira.

- I was joking...

Cable car. 1873.

The first cable car was

started in San Francisco in 1873.

1873. - You know you're ridiculous.

You're just ridiculous.

I mean...

Either you are stuck in the

'marry me, marry me' loop...

...or you keep recounting

the history of San Francisco.

I don't want to know. Okay?

I know everything about this city.

Liar. Liar.

It's impossible to know

everything about a city.

I've tried.

- Really?

Liar. Liar.

Are you challenging me?

- Bum on fire.

Liar. Liar. - Are you

challenging me? - Bum on fire.

Okay. You're on.

- I'm on.

You're on.

- Liar. Liar...

If you can show me one

place or thing in this city...

...that I haven't seen before then...

- You'll marry me.

You'll marry me.

- Whatever.

Whatever.

- Okay. Okay.

You'll marry me.

But till then...

...you will shut your encyclopedia.

- Okay.

And no 'marry me, marry me'.

- Okay.

Okay.

- Okay. Whatever.

You'll marry me.

And you're right... the first cable

car came to San Francisco in 1873.

Yeah.

And in the same year, the

first tram was started in Kolkata.

Did you know that?

No. You're smart.

That I am.

And pretty.

- That too.

I'm pretty smart too.

Mom. Come on.

Coming. One minute, Sam.

I'll just come back, okay?

- Okay.

Yeah. Let me handle it.

Mrs. V, you are looking beautiful.

- You are the best.

But you make me come

too far for my hair.

Please accept my offer

and move to Banville.

You are very generous,

Mrs. V, but I...

Shh about that.

Sara, you tell her.

You should move, Mandira.

We'll be neighbours.

It will be fun.

Mrs. V, I just don't know...

- Mom, come on.

Okay. I am just coming back.

Give me a minute. Sam...

- Don't worry, Granny. She'll move.

God, he's driving me crazy.

- Mom!

Yes. Yes. What is it?

Mom. Come on.

- Where?

You forgot? Discovery museum.

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

Sam, I forgot.

Not fair.

- I remember.

You always forget.

Mandira. Mandira,

I have made a list of places...

All my friends have been there!

...which you may not have seen...

- Even I want to go. Let's go now!

No, I don't care.

- Just... Just...
