Souten Page #3

But few are married

to the rich.

Your boss has married

Raisaheb's daughter...

and is already dreaming

of inheriting his millions.

But you know, I'm famous for

breaking stones with glass.

What happened to you?

- I broke my leg.

Tell me. How did Shyam and Rukmini

look as a couple?

They looked as if they

were made for each other.

Then what the book said is true.

- What did it say?

You don't read at all!

I'm the librarian who does

all the reading.

The book said that marriages

are made in heaven.

To start our lives together...

I've bought this new bungalow.

My dreams and aspirations...

all lie in that house.

Here you are.

Bless your daughter-in-law, mom.

And tell her how I'm longing

for a cute little daughter.

You will give me a cute little

daughter very soon, won't you?

I'm so happy, Shyam!

I was fed up of my life earlier.

But your love is like the ocean.

I don't feel like coming out of it.

How about making for the oceans?

These experiences of love

that I have been through...

were all alien to me, Shyam.

Every moment has

brought a new feeling.

I am proud to be your wife.

I want to give you all

the happiness in life, Ruku.

I want to make it so big...

that should destiny have

overlooked some happiness for us...

I want to buy that and

lay it at your feet.

Shyam has another name, you know?

What is that?

- My work.

I must live for your

happiness, Shyam.

That's like a good girl!

How about a dip in the seas?

- No, Shyam.

I'd rather plunge into

your arms... not the seas.

The team of experts from Paris

has arrived, sir.

They're waiting outside. Shall I

inform them of a meeting tomorrow?

No. They've traveled

a great distance.

Let's hold the meeting today.

- But, sir... it's almost 8.

It's only the second day

of your wedding.

Your wife must be awaiting you.

You very well know that

work is a passion for me.

This is no time to come home!

Simple... a man who's married

a day ago...

returns home at midnight...

it's obvious that his wife

will be mad at him!

That's what I told the foreigners!

That there's a vast difference

in our culture and theirs.

We Indians have a lot to do to

make up with an angry wife.

We've got to make her feel

worshipped... revered...

He has Ruku under this trance

and landed a slap in our face.

If I don't make Ruku slap him someday,

I'll never boast about my name again.

You're right. Shyam has married

our money, not Ruku.

But don't you worry.

He won't get a penny from here,

so long as I'm around.

In fact, I'll strip him

of whatever he has.

I'm known for breaking

stones with glass.

What are you doing here, dear?

We thought we wouldn't be

seeing you for a couple of months.

That you'd be honeymooning

in London, Paris...

No We aren't going anywhere

on a honeymoon, uncle.

Why not?

A team of experts has

arrived from France...

and Shyam has no time at all.

Won't my only daughter

even have a honeymoon?

And I had such great ideas.

The things I planned for them!

I suggest you spend the money

on their honeymoon.

Book hotels all over the world

and send them two air-tickets.

And see how he doesn't

find the time.

Our darling daughter is not going

to have these times again!

Thanks, uncle.

I'll go and see dad now.

This is only the first

of spark in a haystack.

What do you mean?

I'm known for breaking

stones with glasses!

I'm watching the world map.

Do you know why?

I'm having a bedroom built on the

new cargo-ship I've bought.

A honeymoon cabin.

We will go a world cruise

on the ship...

and make the seven seas

a witness to our love!

It'll be our ship; our hardwork;

our honeymoon...

everything on board

will belong to us!

And suppose I give you wings right

now, will you fly with me?

With these tickets, we can fly

to any corner of the world.

Your mother and uncle must've

made this arrangement, isn't it?

They thought we'd get a free trip

and take off on a honeymoon.

And you were naive enough to accept

the tickets and bring them here.

I don't see anything wrong in this.

So what if I've brought the tickets?

Really?

The wings that you buy

with others' money...

drive you away from your home.

And those who take to such wings,

never come back home. Never!

You're always complicating matters.

You don't understand, Ruku.

Your Mom and uncle have done this

deliberately, to humiliate me!

I don't agree with you, Shyam.

I think it's your middle

class mentality speaking.

What? Well, all right.

Maybe I have a third class mentality.

But I will not tolerate

this insult!

Go and return those

tickets immediately!

Won't it insult my mom and uncle

if I return the tickets to them?

Who are you more bothered about?

ls it them? Or me?

You are being obstinate, Shyam!

They did this only to

make us happy.

And you're turning it

into a prestige issue!

You will have to return

the tickets instantly!

I'm not going anywhere!

Neither will I return the tickets

nor go on a honeymoon!

Why did you change

your program, dear?

There were so many people to see

you off at the airport last night.

The roses they brought! You could

call the aircraft a honeymoon plane!

And we were terribly embarrassed.

You should at least have told us

that you were not leaving.

Actually, Shyam's very busy attending

to the experts' team from France.

I told him to put it off.

Work comes first, you see.

Besides, you know how passionate

Shyam is about his work.

That is all right. But what are

all these toys for?

You don't even have

a child yet.

What madness is this?

Shyam is crazy about children.

He never had a sister.

And so...

he's badly looking forward

to having a baby girl.

Wonderful! Great desires!

What can I say now?

Speak to her, sis.

You are just married and you're

already thinking of having babies.

Don't make a mistake in haste.

A baby so early would

ruin your figure.

I've seen it all!

The moment you have

a baby at home...

there's a change in

the husband's attitude.

Take my advise.

Go in for an abortion.

We're rid of the team

of experts, at last.

Let's eat at your place today.

- Certainly, sir.

I'll make some pancakes for you.

That'll be fun.

You? Doesn't your daughter

do the cooking?

She's found a job

as a librarian, sir.

The government has

even given her quarters.

So, okay. We'll eat at

my place in that case.

But, sir...

Things have changed...

so has Ruku.

She's anyway away at a party with

her mom and will return late.

So let's go. Common.

How dare you enter my bedroom?

I brought him in here, Ruku.

We were hungry and sol had

the food brought over.

Even if you brought him here,

why did he sit on the bed?

Why didn't he remember

that this is my bed...

and that he's an untouchable!

She's right, sir.

I should have remembered that

I'm an untouchable.

A dog must remember not to

eat something...

if you happen to leave

a vessel uncovered.

Please forgive me.

I'll never make this mistake again.
