Salaam Namaste Page #3

lf you can sing my name,

l can sing yours.

Listen, what's your problem ?

What's your problem ?

Just because l was a

little late for your stupid show,

you're tying to destroy my life,

my career, everything ?

l would have tolerated your coming late,

if you had the decency

to call and apologise.

Apologise ?

For a two-bit radio show ?

Forget it !

Two-bit ? Fine !

Now just wait and watch...

how this two-bit radio show

transforms you from a chef to a waiter

Sory.

Ah, sory. That's better.

You've finally come to your senses.

What ? l wasn't talking to you.

lt's all right Nikhil.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

You made a mistake,

and now you've apologized.

Now listen to me. l'm going to give

you another chance. But for that...

you'll have to come on time for my show.

- l have an idea...

stuff your show in a bag: a garbage

truck visits my restaurant evey night.

Nice one.

l'm sure it does.

No one eats at your joint anyway...

it must all go down the drain.

Give her a last warning.

Look Ambar, this is your last warning...

Stuff your last warning and listen to me.

Unless you appear on my

show and apologise to my listeners...

l won't let you off the hook.

Now choose one.

Your pride or your career ?

You'll sacrifice at least one of them.

You ! You...

Salaam Namaste.

What happened ?

l think l won.

Good. Well done,

l'm proud of you.

Obviously you're not

gaping like that at my food.

My palm is itching.

l have a feeling that the line

of romance is finally emerging.

Congratulations.

Who've you fallen for now ?

All five. l'm going to

ty for all five of them.

l'll drop my handkerchief

and pick it up with a...

Excuse me, l think you dropped this.

Ron, it has your name on it.

Damn.

Yes ! l'll drop it, pick it up and say,

lt's mine, would you like to keep it ?

Okay Ron, l have a lot of work.

Oi ! Drop that !

Why ?

Because it's not lunch-time yet.

And you're spoiling my arrangement.

Buzz off.

You...

What're you doing ? He's a kid.

That's the problem.

Why do people have kids ?

Why can't we just be born adults?

lrritating bloody creatures.

Hello.

She's going to break my back.

Who's that guy ? - l don't know.

Any luck ?

Lesbians.

The first one said

we've never met before.

The second one said

the handkerchief wasn't hers

The third one said ''thank you'',

took it and left.

And then, the Japanese girl.

First she bowed, then l bowed.

She bowed again, so l bowed again.

Before l straightened up, she was gone.

Mind-blowing. So who's left ?

That lndian chick.

She's quite hot.

Yes and vey smar.

She's studying to be a surgeon.

She's in college with Simone.

You've obviously done your research.

Especially her. Because you've

been staring at her for so long.

l don't know yaar,

there's something about her.

There is, there is.

Why don't you ask

her for a dance ? - Really ?

You must.

Got your handkerchief ?

Oye... chef or architect ?

- l think chefs cooler.

She's going to be a surgeon.

Architect then. - Good choice.

Need some help?

l give a vey good foot massage.

Really, l have like a...

black belt in foot massaging.

Really ? And how many girls

have you tried that line on ?

We're all born with cerain qualities.

You're beautiful,

l give a good foot massage.

Nice dodge of the bouquet, by the way.

You noticed ?

Quite impressive.

They say that if you catch the bouquet,

you're next in line to get married.

l know. So l didn't take a chance.

You have a problem with marriage ?

- Just a small one.

What ?

Husbands.

So you're going to be a surgeon ?

- ls the news out already ?

My friend over there... Ron.

He keeps a tab on all the pretty girls.

You're tying to give me a compliment.

- You noticed ? Quite impressive.

Dance ? - l'm sory, my shoes hur.

So leave them here.

Don't be silly. - No, l'm serious.

Come on, l'll take mine off as well.

Come on.

A friend of mine keeps tabs

on all the handsome boys as well.

Funny, she never mentioned you.

What's your name ?

Nick. Why ? lt's a nice name.

And, what do you do ?

- l'm an architect.

Architect ? - Yes, why ?

l mean, what do l look like ?

No... l just happen to know another Nick.

- And l thought l was going to be...

the first Nick of your life.

Oh crap !

What happened ?

l hate kids ! - You hate kids ?

l mean, not like that,

but when their parents let them loose...

l mean, there ought to

be some discipline, right ?

l'm sory. You like kids huh ?

Love them.

Sarah, Amby, come on all the

bridesmaids, lets take a photo.

Excuse me.

Don't go.

Wait, hold it ! Wait ! Wait for me !

Oh god, did l miss your wedding ?

Yes, l can't believe

you missed my wedding.

l am so sory baby,

l'll make it up to you, l promise.

Nick, l'm in love.

Right - No really, l'm in love.

l'm in love with that girl !

l'm going to mary her,

have kids with her and...

l'll spend the rest of my

life with her. l swear it !

No more champagne for you.

Where's my handkerchief

... my handkerchief ?

Say cheese.

Eveybody ! Out of your clothes !

One day, one moment, one life is...

alive in now, tomorrow flies.

This day, this moment, this life,

lives only for now, tomorrow flies...

like she flies.

So, embrace life with a smile and say...

Salaam Namaste, greet life today.

Everything alive is...

swinging to life.

come and discover the signs of life.

But how long really...

will it all last...

crumbling like walls

once the moment is past.

So lift your hands, clap a bhangra beat,

come my love, let our hearbeats meet.

A moment's ecstasy,

a moment's excuse,

time's so hearless,

so what's the use ?

My love, my love, my love

So, embrace life with a smile and say...

Salaam Namaste,

greet life today

Once upon a road...

you'll find a boy...

who'll be passionate...

and give you evey joy.

Then put it in words, around a smile.

Ty your luck, she may be worhwhile.

Life flies, so make it quick,

say your stoy now, my love.

Youth and time are going,

then gone:
never to return, my love.

So, embrace life with a smile and say...

Salaam Namaste, greet life today.

Why are you in a suit ?

Nick, how long does

it take to get to know someone ?

Depends. Sometimes one meeting can

be enough, sometimes a lifetime falls shor.

One meeting... so l'm not being hasty then ?

What are you talking about Ron ?

l'm getting married, yaar.

Good for you.

l need some coffee.

Ron, are you serious ?

When ?

To who ?

Can't believe Cathy.

Can't believe Ron.

l still owe you a foot massage.

l know, my feet are really huring.

Apparently coffee's really

good for the feet as well.

Really ?

You're a doctor, you should know.

So, shall we ?

l'm sory, l have work.

Well actually,

even l have a few appointments.

Okay.

Some other time then ?

Sure.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Amby.

Are you sure you've got to go ?

Okay, let me check.

Hi, it's me Ambar. Not Hambar, Ambar.

A. A for Ambar. Forget it.

Can somebody cover my show today ?
