Sir Hassan, Its been long you are in police work and have suffered for years, why do you now wants to retire?

Every morning, before coming to work, I will bring my mirror, check myself on the mirror, the wrickles on my face, I cant even count the white hairs in my head. (CHUCKLES AS WELL AS NIXON)

NIXON:

I am the president of the largest traders association in our country. When I look at the white hairs in your head, it cant be compared with the grey hairs in my head, its not hardship but old age. I retired as

NIXON:

a civil servant but still active, control the civil servants. You were born late fortys, too young to retire. You cant see the grey hairs because I don’t want it to be my weakness. I want to stay in control, stay strong so I hide it.

SIR HASSAN:

38 years have I served the government, promoted from one posts to another. Trained young ones both in business and in the force... Its time for them to train others like me while I guide.

NIXON:

Sir Hassan, Wont you like to be like Sir Benard?

SIR HASSAN:

Been the commissioner is the dream of all. It is one of the highest promotion in police force. I envy him because he attends that height at ripe age and a well deserved work to the police force and entire country. He is the acting Commissioner of police but will soon be the commissioner in few weeks or a month.

NIXON:

He will not. You Sir Hassan will be the next commissioner (SIR HASSAN SMILES AND WAVES HIS HEAD) if we

make you the commissioner, we now control 80% of the country’s resources, and security. More like we rule the country.

SIR HASSAN:

That’s a hard price to pay

NIXON:

WE made it easy for Bernard’s predecessor, we will make it possible for you. It is a game on a round table. Go and sleep, we will update you when to strike and where to strike. (HE TURNS TO SOME OF THE GUARDS WITH HIM
