decided to live together first.

Because right now all l can think

of is... Thank God, we didn't get married.

Now you listen to me.

You have absolutely no responsibility

towards me and this baby.

You want to be free, you're free.

l'll decide what l have to do now.

One more thing.

You once asked me a question..

about whether l'd ask myself ten years

on why l didn't give Nick and Ambar a chance.

And the answer is yes, l would ask myself

that. l'm glad l gave us this chance.

Now l will never regret

having lost something.

l'm glad l discovered that

there was nothing to lose anyway.

Give him some time.

l'm sure he'll feel differently.

Feel differently ?

The hell he'll feel differently.

Don't you Cathy me !

Ron, all you guys are all the same.

But what did l do ?

The same, all of you !

Wimps, cowards.

Everything's fine while

it's fun and games.

Eveyone's laughing,

eveyone's having fun, taking it easy.

Then, the minute that it comes the

time to take just a little bit of responsibility.

what do you do ? You run.

- But did l run ?

Tell me, did l run ?

- Oh you want to run, don't you ?

You want to run right out that door,

because we don't need you.

You know that, don't you ? Frankly,

l think we're better off without you.

But.. what did l do ?

Oh, your friend ! Your best friend !

Look what he's done to my best friend.

l'll talk to him.

No, you won't say anything to him.

Then what will you do, Ambar ?

Will you bloody well speak English ?

Darling, l was just asking her

what she's going to do.

where she's going to stay..

- What do you mean where she'll stay.

She'll stay with us of course!

How dare you even ask that question ?

She's got nowhere else to go.

You know what's going on here, do you ?

You'll stay with us, right ?

- l've no problem, she can stay here.

Ambar, you can stay here

as long as you like.

No.

No ? Then what are you going to do ?

l've paid half the rent for this house.

So, for the next eight months,

this is as much my house as it's yours.

So l'm not going anywhere.

From now on, l'll live in my room.

lf you have a problem, you're free to go.

Let's just ty not to get

into each other's faces.

Please don't keep reminding me

that you live here too. Okay ?

Okay.

So now what ? - Nothing.

We like each other but

we want different things from life.

So will you leave her ?

Do l have a choice ?

- Of course you have a choice.

You can be with her for ever

- But where the hell was l going, yaar ?

l was with her,

it's not like l was running away.

And if we'd stayed happy,

l would have stayed with her.

So where the hell did this

forever nonsense crop up from ?

So you'll never mary ? - Maybe.

And you don't want kids either?

- Definitely not.

Why ? - Why what ?

Marriage or kids ?

Marriage. - Ron,

why do we stay with someone ?

Because we want to be happy, right?

But what if we don't find happiness ?

Will we let a piece of paper tell us

now live in misey, you are trapped.

You and two witnesses have signed off

on a document with forever written on it.

And now, you have to live

unhappily ever after!

But why unhappy, Nick ?

- Because people change Ron.

Look at yourself.

You used to be happy, carefree,

you'd hit on a girl whenever you saw one.

l liked you. And now..

all you can talk about is

how you and Cathy fight.

What the fight was about,

how irrational she is.

That's all you say.

- Untrue, we have good times together.

Yeah ? When was the last time

you looked good for her ?

What do you mean ?

- l mean you put on your best clothes..

took her out, candlelight,

wine, romance..?

When was the last time

you took Cathy on a date ?

But who goes on a date after

you're married ?

Exactly ! l want evey day

to be like a first date.

There was romance between Ambar and me.

We had laughter, joy..

because we lived together out of choice.

lt was perfect !

- Life is not perfect, Nick.

Our life was, Ron !

We loved to care for each other,

she'd wait up for me at nights.

l'd wake up early in the mornings for her.

After marriage, everything changes.

We star taking each other for granted.

The same fights,

the same misunderstandings.

Why do you come home so late?

Why don't you wake up early ?

Why do you have to

go out with friends ?

But all this can happen

even without marriage, right ?

That's it.

And that's when you know it's over.

And you should always have

that freedom, to say that it's over.

Hi baby. Okay, but isn't

there some other way ?

Of course l understand.

Of course l care about the baby.

Of course l love you !

No but.. can, can we think of something ?

Okay, all right.

l love you too.

What happened?

Cathy's saying that when the baby comes,

Goofy can't stay with us.

Why ?

She's just paranoid. Allergy from the

fur or he might bite the baby..

Oh crap.

l hate this man. l love Goofy.

See what l mean ?

Now it's all going to star.

Do's and dont's, sacrifices, adjustments..

So what ?

Do it then. You're the one

who's ready to play daddy.

Will you take Goofy in ?

Are you going to cy ?

Turn that thing down.

Will you please turn the tv off ?

- l can't sleep unless l watch tv.

Then keep the volume low.

You don't live here alone.

Oh really ? l thought we weren't going

to remind each other about that ?

That's right. And this idiotic volume

in the middle of the night..

keeps reminding me that

you live here too, so..!

What the hell are you doing ?

l paid for this tv. l'll watch it

whenever l want, at whatever volume l want.

So please, from now on,

don't touch my tv.

Fine.

Oh crap, what are you doing ?

l pay the cable bill evey month.

So please, don't attach it

to your tv from now on.

Nick.

Damn it Nick, come out !

This is not your drawing room

where you can chill out over a newspaper.

Nick, how can you be so disgusting !

You're drinking milk in the loo !

Nikhil Arora, this is your

last warning ! Come out !

Nikhil.. right that's it !

There's no way l'm coming out now!

Do whatever you want.

What is this ?

- l feel better when l smell this soap.

Otherwise l'll throw up again.

This, you psycho !

- A lesson to you.

Are you bloody crazy ?

You threw up in my cap..

in my chefs cap...crap !

How could you ?

What did you want me to do ?

You build a bloody house in there.

Do you want me to break the door down ?

But in my chefs cap ? You're sick !

- Yes you idiot ! lt's morning sickness

An insensitive man like

you can never understand this.

Why can't you comprehend

such a small thing ?

There is a pregnant girl living

with you in this house.

Please, keep the bathroom

free as far as possible.

Why the hell should

l suffer if you want a kid ?

Don't l need the bathroom ?

You were reading the

newspaper in there. - So ?

Can't you come outside and read it ?

- No ! l read the

newspaper in the loo..

it's my habit.

- And the milk ?

Do you have to drink

that in there as well?

Yes. Otherwise, l don't get
