Papanasam Page #2

little by little-

Why are you scared, Bhai?

Take it

Hey! This is between us

You shut your trap

Collect the entire amount today

Why Rs 4850?

Let's round it to Rs 5,000

What do you say?

Cancel it in my commission

What commission?

Election commission!

Which world are you in, Bhai?

Oye! We are talking, right?

Zamindar of Ilanji built

this police station 100 years ago

We are planning to demolish it

And build a new police station

in the empty ground next to it

Then for 6 months...

...contractors, brick layers, masons

cement mixers, drivers, all the laborers...

...will come here to drink tea

I will get you

the entire business

Even if you make

Rs 1000 a day...

...in 6 months it is Rs 1,75,000

2.5% is my commission

What do you say, Bhai?

This is 'Police' for you!

Rs 18 in brother's account

Jack-in-the-box!

Okay, subtract it

from my commission

And give me the rest

so I can get back to work

What is your commission?

Then what?

The movie they played on my cable TV

yesterday afternoon was God-awful!

To save their sanity all of them

came rushing here to drink tea

10% of that is-

Are you playing the fool?

I'll bring the shutters down

in this shop

Do the same to

your pant zip first!

He and his affinity

to talcum powder!

I'll get my turn one day

('Pasamalar' film)

Why are you crying

watching a movie?

Go away

Even the hard hearted Hitler

has cried while watching films

Anyone who watches 'Pasamalar'

dry-eyed isn't a human being

Whaaat...Hitler watched 'Pasamalar'?

As soon as Chevalier Sivaji's

name flashes in the title...

...you'll start sobbing

Wipe your nose

Very funny!

You only like dances where actors

move like they're playing dodge ball

You aren't qualified

to talk about Siva-

Don't shoot off a sermon

Your mouth is an AK-47

Someone wants to complain

Can't you say something good?

Why else will they call?

Pick up the phone

Why won't you pick up?

Show off!

We'll take care of it

We'll look into it

We will-

Okay

What will we take care of?

Who was it?

Our Tahsildar Sankara Subbu

Cable amplifier opposite his house

has gone phut it seems

We said we will

change it tomorrow

We need to get

the spare part to replace

Brother, he's an old man

who can't get up

Only after watching

the adult films at night...

...his blood pressure and

sugar level stabilize

Poor guy is twitching

Won't his wife say anything?

Catch her asking!

She can't even see

Blissfully unaware of this...

...'my husband watches films

on yoga even at night'

She tells me this very proudly

How can you make fun

of such an elderly man!

Pipsqueak!

Go now

Aren't you going home?

I'll go, you go now

Okay, brother

Where is your mother?

Must be in the backyard, dad

Suddenly studying so intently?

Exams, huh?

Yes, dad

Science test

Get your sums right

Science, dad!

Arithmetic isn't part of Science?

How can tha-

She is studying intently there

You are making 'idli' here

with the same intensity

Go and bathe

You are here with

the front door open?

What if a thief creeps in?

Yes, in broad daylight

a thief will walk in

What do you know

about modern thieves?

This is how in a Kannada film-

He would've been the husband

And not knowing the language

you would've got it wrong

Done watching Tamil films

Now you're watching other regional

languages you don't know, huh?

Cinema is a language by itself

Why does it need

another language?

Like sign language

Look into my eyes

Want to say something?

Understood?

Think yourself to be

the 'king of love'?

I am your love-guru?

Who else?

Go and bathe instead of

blessing me with another baby!

Get into the shower

Will you go bathe now?

Selvi is burrowing

her nose into Science

I thought of summing up

our chemistry but all in vain!

(whistling)

Switch on the light

Why do you keep twirling

that lock of hair, dad?

So old fashioned

Like the hook of a crane!

I've been curling it for 30 years

This is 'Sivaji' style

Even he doesn't sport such a style

He's no longer with us

I meant when he was alive

It is each individual's principle

Can we change all that?

Dad...dad?

Why do you empty it

on you like a flour mill?

Yuck! Your neck is so sweaty

And has caked white lines now!

Sprinkling Cuticura powder all over you

Reading women's magazines

Writing accounts at the back

of a cigarette packet

Carrying cash in a worn out

yellow cloth bag

None of these can be changed

Listen, my dear

I roam all over the place

collecting dues

Won't I stink if I don't

powder myself?

Can't you spray scent instead?

You mean snuff a smell

with another smell!

Not funny, dad

Oh! I forgot to switch off the light

Where is my precious princess?

My little princess!

Madam's make-up session isn't over

She squeezes the entire

Fair and Lovely tube in one go

Then her eyes are glued to the mirror

to check if she has become fair

Looks like we must

find her a London groom!

Dad...!

Muah!

This cheek?

Smelling awesome

Heard that?

Hair style is also soooper

My special sugar cube!

Finished hugging her?

Sit and eat now

Go...go

Daily late for school

Do you know how many times

I tried calling you yesterday?

Didn't get through even once

Don't you know in this rain

phones won't work?

Why don't you

get a cell phone?

As if a cell phone will work

Even a big phone doesn't work!

How will a mobile

get any signal?

Even if there isn't any signal...

...we've selected

a cell phone for you

Yes?

Second hand, right?

In this house, only the kids

and I are first hand!

We are 3 females

sitting here all alone

That goes above your head

Whole night watching

some crappy film-

My dear...dearest...darling

Surrender

I drop all my weapons down

Unconditional surrender

Happy?

We believe you!

Okay, my sweetheart

Why did you call me at night?

To go to Tenkasi

Tenkasi?

Don't giggle

What for?

I told you 6 months ago

when we went shopping

We should go for brands

Now all the dresses are in tatters

If you rub it-

Dad!

In PSS theatre in Tenkasi...

...in air-conditioned cool comfort

we should watch a film

Dad, ice cream, popcorn

You just made my purse

lighter by 5000 rupees!

In this alone you will

all be hand in glove

Ladies in the house

will have a long wish-list

Don't you gallivant

happily from morning?

If I didn't...

...then you won't be gobbling

'idli' by the dozen happily

Can you take us

to Tenkasi or not?

This is blackmai-

You dug my grave

ganging up together

Why dig this pit here now?

If all the waste is dumped here...

...it can be used as

manure for the garden

Compost

Organic!

I meant, why should you be digging it?

You'll get blisters on your hand

I like that!

For 100 bucks he will

do it for you gladly

Who will come

for 100 bucks?

No one will touch a shovel

for a rupee less than 300

Best is buy ready-made

fertilizers than dig like this

How can a true village belle

be a traitor to nature?

Come and see

Earthworm
