Leave!

- Leave me! - Leave!

Your brother is still breathing...

Let him go

You've got to pay for that...

What price?

Again!

Penalty

What is was that?

Punishment

And what about my Brother?

Hello!

Hello

K! We've found your brother

He is having trouble breathing.

We've put him on a ventilator...

How are feeling, J?

Go Away!

What's happened to him?

Lets go

Lets go

And don't ever try doing it again...

I know the little girl...

Yeah, It happens!

It happened to me too! Lets go!

"On 1st April 2000, this

Ventilator Room was...

...started with the help

of Kalkatta Carpets"

"Inaugurated by the gracious hands

of Shri Baba Bengali from Sialdah"

From today this office

is a no smoking zone.

Plaster the whole damn place

with "No Smoking" signs.

Get rid of every last ashtray...

The balcony will be a strict

no smoking zone...

...so the lunch area,

- So the bathroom,

...not inside nor outside.

And if someone wants to smoke?

Then he can leave the job...

But why sir?

Because I can't smoke

So you won't let anyone else either?

Nope!

Bad sign, I am with you.

"Hey, I want to tell you

about this thing..."

"This stick called the cigarette..."

"Yes, it is a thirst..."

"It is a thirst..."

"No reason to burn"

"It is a thirst..."

"The evening's bled"

"The evening's bled"

"In a haze of red"

"In a haze of red"

"Every time a cigarette

is lit, I burn" Yeah.

"Smoking..."

"I walk on fire, turn

into smoke and yearn"

"Every time a cigarette

is lit, I burn"

"Hear someone scratch"

"A lonely match"

"Hear someone scratch"

"A lonely match"

"The sky is ablaze"

"In a twilight daze"

"Embers inside me churn"

"I turn into smoke and slowly burn"

"Threads of smoke"

"Threads of smoke now

stitch my breath"

"The smoke slowly coils,

A snake on the wind"

"The evening's bled"

"The evening's bled"

"In a haze of red"

"In a haze of red"

"Smoking..."

"Smoking it baby..."

"This pungent smoke

I inhale, return"

"I turn into smoke and slowly burn"

"Every time a cigarette

is lit, I burn"

"I walk on fire, turn

into smoke and yearn"

"Light a stick baby...".

"Every time a cigarette

is lit, I burn"

"No smoking..."

Hello... Hey K! Yeah!

Alex?

Many greetings? My love...

Where are you calling from?

Mumbai...

- I am back!

Back with a bang!

Sorry!

- Bong!

Smoke?

I've quit.

Don't joke with me!!

Come On! Smoke!

Nope...

You are trying to humor me...

Do I look like I can?

You've changed!

But don't worry!

'Cuz I'm back.

And do you know why I am back?

Sarah, Why am I back?

What?

Sarah, why am I back?

- What?

Whore! Go back to Cuba!

From Havana.

Import from there...

Sell it here

In-fidel.

Castrated!

In-fidel.

Castrated!!

Back there when I ran away to

Sir Castro's beautiful Cuba!

Once there I booked myself in

a room in a three star hotel.

"How lucky can one guy be..."

"I kissed her, she kissed me..."

First day, I lay down on my bed.

- "Everything all set..."

The hotel was a three star...

...two of which were shining

through my roof...

I stood up on the bed.

And stuck a finger each

in both the holes

My fingers weren't thick enough

I looked down.

Saw two cigars in an ashtray

I picked them up and shoved

them into the holes...

Then I got into the cigar business!

But soon enough, Smoking was banned!

What do I do now? I

was wondering when...

Sarah said "Let's go to India!"

But I was lost!

What would I do in India?

I swear

I had no idea my fate

matched Newton's

The cigar from one of the

holes fell on my head

And I thought...

What I used to do in Cuba...

Why not do that in India!

Now every Indian can have the

opportunity to blow on...

...a In-fidel... that's castrated...

With the spelling mistake.

And now ladies and gentleman

and friends!

There is a man

The man that made me smell

my first cigar. - Let's go!

K! Ladies & Gentlemen!

My dear friend, K!

Just K!

K for klinton guys!

The true blue cigar aficionado!

Hey K!

- Great!

Come On! Let's have K!

Come On!

Come K!

I'll only unwrap it.

Not light it

I don't smoke anymore.

Why?

- Why!

Search me...

Will only unwrap it.

Hey! Come on! Let's have it!

Ladies and gentlemen...

In-fidel castrated!

With a correct spelling!

Here

- Just touch it to your lips!

No man!

Don't light it. Just

put it in your mouth.

I'm telling you... No!

Come on!

- K! Come on!

Come On! Let's have a smoke!

Guruji! Its K

You're forgetting the rules son...

- What rules?

I didn't even puff at it...

Now what qualifies as a

puff and what doesn't...

...aren't we the ones to decide that?

First things first...

- I did not smoke!

Alex forced that thing

into my mouth!

You shouldn't have gone

to the party... and...

...if in your eyes that amounts

to smoking it...

...then you should have taken

my fingers not my wife...

...when I smoke my third cigarette...

Your fingers were being

held by someone else.

Exactly!

I was forced to put

it in my mouth...

It was shoved into my mouth!

But I spat it out before it was lit!

After it was lit!

Before it was lit!

- After it was lit

Subsequent to it being lit!

Call the third umpire!

I am the sole umpire in this game

Be it the first or the second!

Either way, I'm the one who

gets to raise the finger...
