rooms. Their stuff is in the other rooms.

Thank you. - Okay, see you then.

Bye. - Bye!

Say bye. - Bye.

Whose house is this?

My friend Gautham.

He bought this house

and left to Canada.

I said I'll stay for a few days. He said

I could stay for free for six months.

If it's free, can

I stay here too?

No, it's too complicated.

Please, mom. Let him stay here.

I love this Beardwala!

Please, mom. Please.

Okay.

Thank you, young man.

Welcome, old man.

I'll go get the bags.

Bye. - Bye!

Okay, let's get you

ready for school.

Come on. - No school.

No, you have to go to school.

Get up. Get up!

No!

Before these people came here,

before this house sprung up here...

since the time this place was a marshy

field, this pigeon has been visiting here.

It goes in search of it's partner,

to speak of the lost marshy fields.

Hi. - Hi!

Thanks for bringing the suitcase.

- It's okay.

I made some tea. - Fine.

Here.

Where is Adrian?

He's gone to school.

I need to say something.

What?

I'm in love with you. - What?

I said I'm in love with you.

If you have such thoughts, get

out of this place immediately.

Have I said something wrong?

My son is my only

priority in life.

Then why tell me everything?

Before you came along, I

was talking to my scooter.

Then I talked to you.

That's all.

So I'm like that scooter?

No. You are lesser

than my scooter.

Okay?

Serves me right!

So humiliating.

You haven't left?

I need five minutes.

You're panting so hard!

The elevator wasn't working. I

climbed up and down 28 levels.

Let us be friends.

I'll think about it.

You shouldn't smoke.

Why?

Because you are the

mother of a child.

So?

You are the son to some mother.

My life is difficult.

My future looks bad.

The girl I proposed

to, didn't like me.

My life is difficult, too.

I have a bad past.

And I don't like any of the

men who have proposed to me.

We'll be friends.

Okay.

You don't know

anything about me.

You don't even

know that I smoke.

Suppose I cheat on

you, like that girl?

I'll kill you.

Killing can wait. First

shave off this beard.

Can I call Beardwala 'dad'?

I love you.

When a girl tells a guy 'I love

you', what would he do next?

He'll drop her at work

the very next day.

Okay, I'm late. Bye. - Bye.

He'll promptly pick her

up in the evening.

Superb.

He'll master 'ing' verbs that

don't have words in Tamil yet:

such as, packing, body

guarding, shopping.

As a reward for it, he may occasionally

win an upper body garment.

No. - Why?

Poor chap. Today is not his day.

He'd sit at glass-doored coffee houses

with wistful dreams about the future.

There is a walk-in

interview at DCS BPO.

10 AM.

You don't have to work at a BPO!

I've got a job.

Do your MBA from home.

You'll find a good job.

He would master the art

of spying on her phone

under the guise of

sipping fruit juice.

Sarah has invited for a party tomorrow.

2 o clock.

You really need to go?

Fine, I won't. Okay?

Okay.

Where are you going now?

To the toilet!

May I go there?

- Have a nice trip.

A week later, he would embrace her in

front of the ocean and exchange kisses.

A week after that, he'd gently lead her

into the bedroom and shut the door.

This amazing lover, after

all that, would ask her...

How do you have 2,248

friends on Facebook?

Why?

I only have fifteen friends!

What can I do if you

don't make any friends?

Who is this Arun K Vishwa?

Don't know. Must be

some friend's friend.

He has commented on your photo

saying, 'You look gorgeous'.

So?

But a total stranger...

Wouldn't you like it if

someone called you beautiful?

So you like it?

Of course I like it.

He will encounter

many such surprises.

Your skirt...

Yes, it's a skirt.

Instead of wearing one this short,

wear one that falls below your knees?

Why?

Everyone might look at

you with bad intent.

Would you?

I wouldn't! But others will.

Don't talk about my skirt. I know

how to dress and carry myself.

Don't start a fight over it.

- No, I was just saying...

Then...

Happy birthday, Thea.

Don't go to work today?

Don't start.

I told you already,

I must go to work.

No. You're spending

the day with me.

Then...

Say it.

What?

You always say important

things in the elevator.

Isn't that why you've come?

Say it.

I saw your birthday pictures

from last year on Facebook.

I saw you cutting a cake

with random colleagues...

hugging and getting

gifts from them.

So I thought, this year,

you could be with me...?

Is this why you asked

me to take the day off?

Look, I didn't share my Facebook

password so that you could spy on me.

Grow up.

No. I'm sorry, Thea!

- It's fine. Let it go.

Sorry, Thea.

It's fine.

Just leave it.

- I didn't mean to hurt you.

It's okay.

Then...

Hi!

Where is Adrian?

I dropped him at his

friend's place.

Althea!

- So the party went well?

Althea!

I think someone is calling you.

It's my boss. - Oh, boss?

Two minutes? - Carry on then.

You're unwrapping my gift in the

middle of the road like Adrian!

Are you a kid ot what?

Oh, yes. All this happens to

me because I'm like Adrian.

What?

Read what's witten here.

'Hope this fits you.' So?

What does that mean?

Don't you know what it means?

What does it mean?

Don't behave like this outside

my office for everyone to see.

What does it mean, Althea?

He's asking if it's my size.

Enough?

Oh. How does he know?

Prabhu, please. It's my birthday.

Don't ruin my birthday.

How does he know?

- Prabhu, not in the road!

How does he know, Althea?

- I don't know, go ask him.

Oh. It's that

Gopalakrishnan, right?

Ask him to come here.

I'll ask him.

Let's go, Prabhu.

He's at your office upstairs?

Will you ask him or shall I?

Sh*t.

Althea, wait.

Althea, stop. Listen to me.

Althea, please. Listen to me.

Get on to the scooter. Please.

I won't bring this up again.

Get on the scooter.

Promise?

- I promise I won't talk about it.

Let's go?

Yeah.

What did your boss say?

He said 'Happy birthday'.

He had to hug you on

the road to say that?

Look, I'm not Adrian to

believe all your lies.

It's normal in corporate culture

to hug your boss. And that's fine.

But I felt possessive.

I'll let that go, too.

Tell me what this note means.

Come on, tell me.

The signal is on. Go now.

- Signal, my foot.

Please don't test my patience.

Answer me.

How did he have the guts

to write such a thing?

Are you that close with him?

Tell me, woman!

How does he know your size?

How does he know your size?

Answer me.

You always shut me up by saying

our lifestyles are different.

Tell me, how does he know your size?

- Look, pull over. Pull over!

Open your mouth, woman.

- Stop or I'll jump!

Jump, then.

Get lost!

Thea, please don't cry. Please.

I'm sorry, Thea. I

didn't mean to do that.

I've made a mistake.

Please forgive me, Thea.

I couldn't control it, Thea.

Please don't cry.

Please, please!

Just stop, okay?

The door was open. I thought

you had left. That's all.
