The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Page #9

I talk to you about our special offers?

This is a particularly good time to

be thinking of taking advantage...

of our new and improved system.

Sunaina!

Sunaina!

Sunaina!

I Jay 1

Hey, what's going on?

Sonny?

I need to see Sunaina.

Her shift's not over.

And when it is, she doesn't want to see you.

Jay.

You- You are the son my

mother wished I was.

An intelligent man with a

strong head for business.

You see things as they are and

not as you wish them to be.

So f*** off out of my way!

Or you can give her

a message.

Tell her from me what I should

have told her the day we met.

What I will announce to anyone

who asks and many who do not.

- Including your mother?

- Including my mother?

- His mother.

- Your mother.

I will tell every mother

in the land.

What will you tell them?

What will you tell them?

The only thing that matters

in this world.

That I love you

and always will.

And by you I mean Sunaina,

Jay, not you.

Although if you are to be my brother-in-law,

I hope we can become better friends.

Why is he only

saying this now?

You ask him.

Why are you only

saying this now?

Because, Sunaina,

love of my life, no more will I

believe that I'm not worthy.

For only by loving you as you

deserve will I become so.

it's funny. They call this rush hour,

and yet nothing actually moves.

Well, it's not

that... funny.

Where do you think you're going?

You may well ask.

We're moving in

together, Mrs. D.

- Already?

- That point's been made.

The hotel is closing,

Mrs. Donnelly.

It doesn't have to.

I've been going over

the accounts.

M:

ay I?

Mummyji.

Mummyji, do you remember

what my father used to say?

That nothing happens

unless first we dream.

And I have dreamt, Mummyji,

and like him, I have failed.

The Marigold Hotel is crumbling to dust,

and it turns out I can live with that.

But the one thing I will not do

is live without this girl.

This is Sunaina

Shantanu Palawar.

The woman I love

and wish to marry.

I'm very pleased to meet you, Mrs.

Kapoor.

No, Sonny. I forbid it.

I forbid this match.

Utterly and completely.

Do you hear me?

This can't happen.

What is he saying?

Um-

He says that he's been with this

family for as long as he can remember.

And that he remembers

another tight.

Between two young people

and their parents.

And he remembers the moment

when the young man...

stood up to his mother

and said- And said...

Yes, I want to marry

this woman.

Yes, she comes from

a different community,

but she's smart

and she's beautiful,

and I love her.

I don't know

who he's talking about.

Sunaina, I may have

no right to judge,

but I have a mother's right

to worry.

Take care of my favorite son.

Sorry. I'm not clear now.

Am I staying or going?

- Well, it depends how you read the accounts.

- The accounts?

It turns out the original plan

for the hotel is good.

It works.

Just not in the hands of a lunatic.

I knew that plan was good.

What the place needs

is money.

And guests, starting with the

ones that are already here.

Unfortunately, my investor, Mr.

Maruthi, has decided that,

while he greatly admires

my endeavors-

- He's reconsidered.

- You spoke to him?

So long as there's somebody

sane to help the manager.

No. The manager

needs no help, madam.

Sonny.

Hmm.

- The manager needs a little help.

- So will you stay?

- I'd like to.

- In the shack on the roof?

We have a- a double room,

bathroom en suite,

and a fully working door.

Mr. Dashwood, as you

know, has recently checked out.

Oh.

Mrs. Hardcastle,

you'll stay.

- On my own?

- I know you're off your game, dear.

Lost your confidence maybe.

But, you know, you are a thoroughbred.

You'll be back.

What about you,

Mrs. Greenslade?

What about me,

Mrs. Donnelly?

We haven't talked much,

have we? You and I.

My loss, evidently.

Will you stay?

I'm not sure

what I shall do.

Nothing here has worked out

quite as I expected.

Most things don't.

But, you know, sometimes what

happens instead is the good stuff.

Don't you have work

to go to in the morning?

Yes.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

If I can stand on my own two

feet, I'm sure you can too.

Who's the new

assistant manager?

Mr. Maruthi had me in mind.

You thinking of applying

for the job?

Oh, chair, please.

That's quite enough exercise

for one day.

Office.

Oh, steady.

Oh!

,r;

This is absolutely ridiculous.

We could be here for hours.

There's no way we'll get out of here.

- Well, maybe there is.

- You!

Can you get us

to the airport?

Sorry. Long way.

Sore legs. Not possible.

I'll give you

everything I have.

Okay, step right in,

let's go.

Can you get our cases out,

please?

Come on, Douglas.

Come on, Douglas, come on.

- Sorry, no manage people and cases.

- What?

It's not possible, madam.

Two persons, no cases. One person and cases.

Well, how about if I give you something else?

I'll give you my watch.

Sure. Thanks.

But still it's not possible, madam.

We'll get another flight. Let's go back

to the hotel and leave in the morning.

No. Jean, he can't do it.

You heard what he said.

- He can do one person and cases.

- Yeah, but-

Could fate find a better way to

tell us what we need to hear?

- Which is what?

- That it's over.

That it's been over

for a long, long time.

This is not the time to talk about this.

Let's wait until we get home.

I have to go, Douglas.

I won't let you.

No. You'll come after me.

You'll chase me to the airport,

tell me everything will be fine.

But please don't.

Because the truth is-

The truth is we both deserve

more than we've had.

And it's just because

of your...

kindness and your-

your loyalty

that you won't admit it.

I'll be all right.

I'm turning left.

Good-bye, Douglas.

J;

Day 57.

The any real failure

is the failure to tly.

And the measure of success is

how we cope with disappoinment.

As we always must

We came here and we fried

All of us in our different ways.

Can we be blamed for feeling

that we are too old to change?

Too scared of disappoinment

to start it all again?

We get up in the morning.

We do our best

Nothing else matters.

You're still here.

I- I-I missed the plane.

What about Jean?

She didn't.

I had- I had quite an

interesting night actually.

I- I met the same, um,

taxi driver,

but this time I let him take

me to his brother's hotel.

Wh-Which turned out to be less

of a hotel and more of a-

more of a brothel really.

And they- And they gave me this

pipe, said it was apple tobacco.

But that's not what they called

it when I was a student.

So-So I made my excuses

and left.

Uh, I need-

I needed time to... think.

This city at night

is extraordinary.

I think the apple tobacco

helped probably.

I'm going to be late for work.

Right.

Um-

What time do you finish?

I get back about 5:00.

Teatime.

Yes.

How do you take it?

With a little milk.

All right.

But it's also true

that the person who nsks nothing...

does nothing, has nothing.
