Shor in the City Page #4

some random fool.

Hey, I can't understand!

This is insane!

Who gets married so

early these days, anyway?

If your parents are forcing you,

tell them you you're

not interested, dammit!

Please! Now don't

start crying and all.

I'm going crazy enough as it is.

I'm leaving.

You know what to do, right?

Yeah, yeah! Don't pull any stunts!

- Got it!

And throw it over there, nowhere else!

- I know, man!

You do know what to do, right?

Why are you stressing out? I

just have to press this, right?

This is not a TV, okay?

Be careful, you idiot!

Nothing will happen, relax!

I just have to press here!

Why is it not blasting?

It will, it will.

Give it some time.

It's not a grenade.

You need to light it on the

ground. You shouldn't fling it.

Mandook, go look.

F*** you! You go look.

I think it's a dud, man!

There's not even a sound.

It doesn't even have

a fuse that goes zzzz,

so we'd know ifit's on or not.

Nothing's happening. Go look.

What?

Just go look!

Sit down, sit down.

Hey! The bomb's switched off!.

What the hell, man?

Don't fool around with me!

The kid!

No! Hey! Tilak! Let's go!

Let's go! We'll get

screwed if someone spots us.

Let's go man! Quick,

quick, let's go!

He's alive, see? Let's

go before someone sees us!

The kid, man!

Yes, yes, I had my dinner. Did you?

Yes, I ate with sir.

Noodles, I ate noodles!

Sir is not in!

Stop! Where do you think you're

going? Please leave! Sir is not in!

Sir, they are not listening.

I tried to stop them...

they just barged in!

What did you think

when you came here?

That you'll come here, start a

business... make a lot of money?

What about us?

You think we don't

deserve to make money?

You can't part with half a million?

This dog is worthless.

He's not worth a penny!

But you...

What's half a

million rupees to you?

If we come to know

you don't want to pay...

you won't be of any value either.

It won't take me a second to

hack you to pieces right now.

Until this place starts stinking up

no one will even know you're dead.

One more thing...

I didn't kill this dog. You killed him

- over half a million!

And... your girlfriend is next.

You'd better pay up in two days.

We'll tell you where

to bring the money.

And please. Don't

go to that inspector.

We will have to line

his pockets too then.

Of course, it will only

go from your pocket.

But it'sjust a lot of

trouble for me, you know?

Okay, sir? Cool? Bye!

Come on!

Hasn't your girlfriend

called you yet from 'foreign'?

Hello darling, how

are you? Miss you!

Mr Sawan Murthy,

what I can do for you?

Sir, I wanted to apply for a

loan... to build career actually...

Actually, I saw your ad for

education loans. So I thought...

Not possible.

But Uncle, you told me to

bring Sawan you'd do something?

I know I did. But...

Education loans are for

paying tuition fees...

And this... cricket... is

hardly education or a career.

You get what I'm saying?

Plus you don't have a

guarantor. Or a guarantee.

Sir, there is a guarantor!

Robin can give guarantee!

Of course! I'll personally

give you guarantee.

He'll pay you back for sure.

What will I do with him??

This is not working!

I'll have to figure something else.

Savvy, there's a message

- about Sejal.

Check this autorickshaw!

No, wrong one. Let's check ahead!

The auto should be on

this road somewhere!

How about this one?

Check in this one!

Sejal! Sejal! Stop!

Sejal, I need to talk to you!

But I don't want to talk to you!

Who the hell is he?!

Who the hell is

he? Do you know him?

Stop the auto!

- What are you doing? You'll get hurt!

Stop! Stop the auto!

Cut across and stop it!

What's your problem? Why

are you making a scene here?

Me?? What do you

think you are doing?!

I told you! That if you didn't

find a solution, this would happen!

- Come on, let's go talk somewhere else.

- No!

Come on, yaar.

I can't come away now.

When then?

I don't know.

It doesn't matter to you any more?

Did it ever matter to you?

I told you a thousand times

what was going on at home!

Were you even bothered?

Look, Ashok is waiting

for me. I have to go now.

Screw Ashok! Why are you

going around with him?

Because Mom said so.

I don't have any choice

and you don't care!

That was so simple, right?

For so little, you

created such havoc!

Sir, sir, sir!

Half a million was our first offer.

You're late, so we

increased the price...

Look at this!

It sparkles!

Don't you worry about

security anymore, sir!

You go on a holiday

with your girlfriend.

We'll meet again for Diwali!

Will you sit for a second, please?

Huh? - Will you sit

for a second, please?

You go on to bed.

I'll come later.

That's the worst

plan I've ever heard!

Listen to me, bhaiyya...

It's the perfect plan!

The hell it is perfect.

You get caught, you'll

end up perfectly injail.

Listen to the whole

plan first! Then you...

What then? It's not

like suspension in school.

Can youjust listen

to me once, please!

Fine! Tell me your plan.

We need four people.

Two in the bank, one at the

door, one near the bikes.

Bikes?

- Two bikes.

Better than cars in

this horrible traffic!

Bank opens at 10 am.

There are only 3-4 staffers,

including Nattoo Uncle.

Who the hell's Nattoo Uncle?

- He's the watchman.

So what do we do about him?

- That's the best part.

Once he opens the bank,

he doubles at thejewelry

store across the street.

It takes him at least

half an hour to get back.

So for half an hour...

- There's no one guarding the bank!

What about security cameras?

- We'll wear scarves.

Everybody wears them...

with all this pollution.

Sejal always wears

it when she's out.

Yeah, there's the

swine flu scare too.

What if the watchman comes back?

- He won't.

What ifhe does?

He has one gun which was made

before even he was born!

Plus he's very old.

What can he possibly do?

And what about the customers?

Let's do it on

Ganesh Immersion Day.

Bank will be open, but

there won't be many people.

Even if people come, we'll

have guns, knives... something...

Yeah, we'lljust shoot

the bastards down, right?

Err... I was only thinking of

locking them up in the washroom.

So this is your grand plan!

Yes! Perfect, isn't it?

And you want to do this because

you want to bribe some

greedy ass selector?

What else? It's the only way

I can get on the cricket team.

My dear boy, it's not

as easy as you think.

Listen to me, focus on your game.

If nothing works out, get ajob!

Wh? do you want to

become like (me)... them?

Wants to rob a frigging bank!

Everybody wants a shortcut.

What will happen to this country?!

- Rambalak?!

- I have no idea.

I heard he's gone back to

his village with his wife.

He doesn't know anything,

sir. Someone killed him!

And the police won't do anything!

You be careful too!

Once these people latch on to you,

they don't let go that easily!

Hello, sir! How are you,

sir? How's your girlfriend?

Sir, I have another
