Thea, where would I go?

If you're leaving, just

tell me first. Okay?

I've never loved anyone

in my life so much.

Or depended on them.

Or trusted so much.

I depend on you so much I

only hate myself for it.

Thea, you're everything to me.

When a girl tells a guy

that she loves him,

depends on him, trusts

him, what will he do next?

Hi!

Hi!

Who drew this?

- Beardwala and I.

Really?

Who is this?

This is Beardwala!

And this? - This is me.

This is you.

Me?

And this?

This is our sweet home.

Wow!

Very good, baby!

So mommy is going

to Delhi tomorrow.

Will you stay with Beardwala?

- Okay!

I love Beardwala!

You're going to Delhi tomorrow?

An official trip with my boss.

Then...

Good morning. - Good morning!

As usual, your boyfriend has

called on the landline four times.

Go. Give your attendance.

Hello.

You know I'll call as soon

as I reach the office.

What was the hurry? Why do

you call so many times?

You left your phone behind.

Sorry.

Can you put my phone on charge? I may

not have time before the flight.

I live to charge your phone, carry

water cans and iron your clothes.

Huh?

Your boss has sent a text.

Oh. Saying what?

To put it in civilised English, "Shall we

extend our trip to Kulu Manali for two days?'

In uncivilised Tamil, "Will you

sleep with me in Kulu Manali?"

And you're going

to Delhi with him?

What's his problem today?

It's nothing.

I'm going to Delhi, right?

And our stupid boss has sent

a disgusting text as usual.

And my boyfriend read it. So...

What? He checked your mobile?

So cheap! If my husband had even touched

my mobile, I'd have chopped them off.

If you give him so much

space, he will control you.

The mistake is all yours.

No.

His lifestyle is different.

He won't understand all this.

You keep saying that.

Hi, Vishwa! - Good morning.

Good morning. - Morning!

Pick up the damned phone!

Want to go for a coffee?

Now?

Let's go.

Pick up the phone, woman.

Pick up.

Hello. - Don't hang up!

I won't.

Why do you torture me when I'm at work?

What do you want?

He's sent such a disgusting text.

Don't go with him.

What do you care whether

or not I go with him?

He is being so cheap!

- Is that your problem?

I get to decide whether or not I

will sleep with him. Not him.

Get that?

Listen--

- No, you listen...

I've been on this

job for ten years.

I know how to handle these men.

I know how to take care of myself.

I don't need a bodyguard.

If that's fine, be my lover.

No, you listen to me.

You don't need to say anything. I

have a lot of work, and a meeting.

I'll call you later.

Don't you dare hang up!

I'll jump from the tower.

Fine, jump if you want to.

Stupid.

Did you send me a text?

What?

Did you or did you not?

Yes, what's wrong in that?

What's wrong in that?

There's nothing wrong. You're the

perfect gentleman in this office.

What are you saying?

- Everybody, listen up.

Mr. Ankit is the nicest

guy in the entire office.

Let's talk in my cabin.

- Get your hands off me.

Come, Althea.

- Get your hands off, man!

You moron.

Not just Delhi, I wouldn't even

ride the elevator with you.

You and your sucky job.

You want to fire me? Go ahead.

Relax.

There is a lot of

stress in our office.

I think everyone here needs a

psychological counselling.

Everybody focus on your jobs.

Back to work!

What's going on here? Tell me.

What? - Are you going to Delhi?

What is it to you?

I've packed my bags, Thea. If

you're going, I'm moving out.

Damn it! Fine, go.

Wait, Thea.

I really will move

out of the house.

Fine, go one then. The

door is over there.

You asked me to tell

you before going!

You've told me now.

You've told me.

Get lost.

Stop, Thea. Stop!

I'm talking to you, and

you'd just walk away?

Do I look like scum to you? Huh?

Yes, you are. You're scum.

Some random man texts you asking to

go to Manali, and it's my fault?

Am I wrong for questioning it?

Who are you to question me?

Who are you?

Who am I?

Who am I?

You live off me, eat my food, live

in my house. You're a beggar!

What did you say? I'm a beggar?

Just because you're 6 ft tall

and fair, you're so stuck up.

All this will wear out. It will rot.

It will decay.

Who is this? This

Gautham from Canada?

What is he to you?

- You really want to know?

Why should he let you live

here for free for six months?

I slept with him? Okay?

I screwed him. - How was he?

How was he?

Much, much, much

better than you.

You are a b*tch. Your

mother was right about you.

Now I get it. You were

sleeping with your boss.

That's why your husband left you.

- Stop it! Shut up!

And now I know why

that girl left you.

No woman can live with you.

You're worse than any thief.

You're worse than any murderer.

You're a rapist.

Who are you calling a rapist?

Mom?

It's okay.

It's okay. Don't look at him.

Don't look at him.

"Who am I?"

She says I'm the rapist?

Come out.

Come out now.

- What do you want?

Come out. Answer me.

Come on, come on.

- Adrian, stay there.

What now? Want me to

answer your questions?

You want answers? - Yes, I do.

Go. - Where?

First, get out.

First answer me.

- Go out. I will answer.

Get out.

Get out!

What?

- You want answers? Go out.

Answer me!

- Get out, you mongrel.

I'm a mongrel?

Now you've showed me that a

mongrel shouldn't be pampered.

Get out. Get out, you mongrel!

I'm a dog! - Get out!

Althea, open the door.

Open the door, Althea.

Althea, listen to me.

Althea!

The cries heard from skyscrapers, the

ocean, the singing migratory birds...

the lakes, the pigeons, the

farmers and the fisherfolk...

the buildings that have

sprung up on these lakes...

the immigrant workers from Bihar

and Orissa who built them..

the IT and BPO workers who

speak in global languages...

the real estate men...

and the hotels and shops that came along

to feed and clothe these people...

and so the sun sets in Taramani, the

home to all of these creatures.

Two dosas, please.

What?

- When will Beardwala come?

He will come soon. Okay?

You, you, you.

My love for you,

is vast as the oceans.

My hatred for you,

is stronger than mountains.

Hello.

Who is this?

Are you the tiger, disguised as cattle?

Or am I?

Hello.

Hello, who is this?

Why?

Where should I come?

I will try.

Come in.

I didn't think you would come.

I just generally called.

Thanks for coming.

Where is your husband?

Hes out on some visa work.

Hell be back in 30 minutes.

Oh! So I must leave

in 30 minutes, right?

Whats this?

Chocolates.

I think about what I've done

every single day.

I regret it everyday.

Yeah, I can see that.

Its written all over your face.

I know there's no way

I can undo my mistake.

I know that no words

can set it right.

If you want to, you can.

If you want to set it right,

you can set it right.

What I should do?

Sleep with me.

What?

Oh, you forgot Tamil

after going abroad?

Sleep with me.

Ankit, I want to know something.
