Shor in the City Page #2

so I just opened them.

Anything of use or same

old boring presents?

Umm... there are 4 clocks, 6 Ganesh

idols and there's this mixer.

Good, atleast there's

one useful thing.

There's no mixer in the house.

Yeah, but there's masala in it.

They must've flicked it

off some place. - Huh?

Nothing.

Pass me those envelops.

There's no money in

there. They're empty.

What?! You took it all?

No, no! They were always empty.

Before I even opened them.

Who brought all of this home?

Your friends,

Mandookji... and Rameshji.

I gotta go to work.

I'll be back in the evening.

You're in the book business, right?

Yes, we print books.

Publishing business.

Can I come see the office?

Not today.

I have a client meeting.

They're making a Hollywood

film based on this!

How about this one?

How's this selling?

What? Well... that's in demand too.

Would you like to

buy something, sir?

Pack this one.

Wait a minute.

You sure you want to

buy ALL these, sir?

Pack these.

Yeah, of course!

Go on and pack them.

Are these books heading to Bandra?

- Yes, sir.

Chhotu, bring the new books inside.

Bhupi, find out when we're

getting that Chintan Gandhi book?

Hey, come here.

- Yes, sir.

Why are some pages missing here?

Oh, wejust missed printing

a few pages. Don't worry...

No one will know. Who reads

a book completely anyway?!

What? We're in the

business of selling books.

Just because we sell at half price

doesn't mean we sell halfbooks.

Sir, the customer

will not remember

what kid sold him

at which traffic light!

Will you do your work or not?

Sir, tell you what...

let's staple the pages on.

What?

- Let's staple the missing pages!

How many have you printed so far?

Wejust started

the second lot, sir.

Dump it. Start a new lot.

Err... It'll be a waste

of time and money!

Do it. Now!

- Okay, sir.

What's yourname again?

Sawan What?

Are you from the south?

Not really, sir. I've been

in Bombay for a long time.

But my family is from the south.

Hello! Yeah, when are we

announcing the Mumbai team?

Under 22? Nothing much...

there's this kid here...

Ok Listen, Ill call you back later.

You're not the only one

desperate for a place in the team.

There are tons of players

willing to pay money.

Player's salaries have

gone up these days.

If you get into the 20-20 league,

sky is the limit! You agree?

To run any business,

you must invest first.

And you're your own business!

Where else can you recover

yourinvestment so quickly.

Listen, if you were

a mind-blowing player,

I wouldn't be talking money at all.

Don't get me wrong,

you play very well...

...but you're no Sachin Tendulkar!

If you were, even God can't

stop you from being on the team!

Arrange the money by next

week. 1 million rupees. Okay?

Come on, come on!

Savvy? Want a ride to

your practice session?

No, you carry on.

I'll go in the evening.

Savvy, keep him in the shade, okay?

Listen to your Uncle,

there's a good boy!

Akka... - Yes?

Akka, do we have some money saved?

You need money? How much?

Some... 1 million...

Never mind, it's okay.

Why do you need so

much money, Savvy?

Forget it, it's nothing.

If you need a ride from

the ground, call me.

You remember the girl at the party?

Spare me, dude.

- No, really, I'm telling you, man!

Okay, hang on, let me show you...

Now talk!

Dude, this is that

same girl! What an item!

She let you film her?

- As if she knew that!

Send it to my phone! Sure, sure!

Bluetooth it.

- Yeah, yeah, take it!

Boy, this is fun!

Mandook! To the

left... the green bag...

- Yeah, saw it...

- Next station... we make ourmove.

Motherfu! Where

did you find this??

Where the hell did you find it?

I never thought I'd hold an AK-47!

How do you know it's an AK-47?

They show it all the time on TV...

Is it written anywhere? Huh?

- Must be written somewhere...

It's an AK-56, you moron.

I'm telling you,

this is an AK-47!

What does it matter whether it's 47

or 56? Where did you get it from?

How does that matter?

We hit thejackpot.

We can make a lot of money!

Have you lost it? There may

be cops looking for this.

What ifit belongs to terrorists?

Nah... can't be.

Don't try to scare us.

We can loot a big

place with this baby!

Shopping mall,jewelry shop... Bank!

We couldjust sell

them and make money.

No way! I'm not letting

anyone sell this!

But we can sell the

rest of the loot, right?

Fine. Let's talk to

Tipu-bhai. - Yeah, talk to him.

And look at this

- the highlight!

Have you ever seen a bomb blast?

Be careful, it may

be on, you moron!

Nah, its fuse is blown.

Give it to me. Put it

back. You guys have lost it.

With this baby in your hand,

you can do anything. Anything!

Put it down, a**hole!

Turn it away, you idiot!

There're no bullets,

yaar. See? See!

You're crazy!

See? No bullets! See, see!

Tilak! Ramesh! Look here!

See? No bullets!

I didn't understand. Are

you selling something?

You are building a swanky office.

You've spent a lot.

If someone breaks in, you would

end up spending double, right?

I'm asking for much less.

Are you asking me to leave?

If you have to go, carry on please.

If you want me to

go, say so clearly.

So let me get to the point.

What kind oflife would you like?

Go to work, do your work, get back

- without any tension, right?

To be tension-free, you need

security. Which we can guarantee.

You can even trust us

with your office keys.

Do I look like a guard to you?

Me and my friends

are your security.

I'm here to help you.

And you're going on about

who and why and crap...

It's your choice.

Think about it.

Is this the way you talk to guests?

Okay, never mind. You're busy.

Sorry I wasted your time.

What the hell! I'd asked for

three truckloads of people...

...and they've sent me 6 bikes!

How in hell will this work?

Call the supplier. Quick!

Turn the bloody volume down!

The noise in this city

fucks up your head.

If a man can't even hear himself

how will he think properly?

And ifhe ends up doing some

sh*t, you can't blame him, can you?

That Party Secretary's son...

he partied all night long...

Somewhere he got into an argument.

Next thing you know, he got shot.

Now we have to do a Protest

Rally and rioting and stuff!.

Did you call him?

So, all well?

Going on, Bhaiyya...

This one doesn't talk at all.

You haven't forgotten me, right?

Tipu Uncle!

Yes,just like Sawan Uncle!

Yourmom is like a sister to me.

How's the cricket going?

- Pretty well...

Play for India

quickly. With Sachin.

Don't forget me after

you become a star, ok?

Oh come on, Bhaiyya!

Tipu-Bhaiyya, I wanted

to ask you something...

Yes, go on, go on!

Cricket selections are on. And

I don't know anyone else but you.

Can your Party Secretary

put in a word for me?

You should've told me two days

ago. I'd have done something.

Now's a bad time.

We're in the middle of

organizing some rioting...

Actually Bhaiyya...

Okay, move it, move

it. Quick, quick!
