All right.

Okay, bye.

Yeah.

The scene is gonna be, like,

so different with you guys gone.

Well, you should come out.

No, I'm, I'm good here.

- I'm gonna miss you.

- I'm gonna miss you.

- Get out of here, you a**holes.

- All right.

Come here, you big dummy.

- Bye.

- I'll miss you.

You're still kicked out

of the family.

But because we did not

get a proper chance

to say bye to you, so...

Your mother

is so angry with you.

She's not going to get

out of the car,

she's not even going

to look at you.

I don't believe that you kept

so much a secret

from me, your father.

Sorry.

Here.

She asked me

to give this to you.

Modern Biryani.

For your trip.

Your favorite.

She made it herself, specially

for you, with extra potatoes.

Thank you, ma!

- Is she okay?

- Right now?

No.

I'll miss you.

I'm forbidden

from hugging you, so...

It was nice to have you

as my son.

Good-bye forever.

And do me a favor,

when you reach New York,

just text us

and tell us that

you've reached safely, okay?

I will.

Dad, can I ask you something?

When you and mom

went on your first date,

what movie did you see?

Satte pe satta.

Our favorite song.

Why you asking?

I was just curious.

Okay.

- Let's do it.

- Let's do it. -Okay. -All right.

- See you later, dudes.

- Let's do it. -See you.

- Hey, we'll text. -Ow.

- Ooh, sorry. -Yeah, please do.

So the first time I came

to America, I was, like, 14,

and I was just visiting

my uncle in New York,

and it just happened

to be Thanksgiving.

My first day in America,

my uncle took me

to the Macy's

Thanksgiving day parade.

- -And I was like,

this is every day in America!

As advertised.

Every day, they have a party

celebrating Garfield.

No day has lived up to that day.

I was, uh, lying to my parents,

I was telling them

I was gonna be a lawyer.

And they're very disappointed,

- 'cause they wanted me

to be a doctor. -

and you guys are like,

why didn't you just tell them

that you wanted to be a doctor?

It's a lie anyway, and I'm like,

well, it has to be believable.

If I told them

"I want to be a doctor,"

- they'd be like, "bullshit."

If I said "lawyer,"

they're like, "oh, okay.

That's something."

'Cause there's

a strict hierarchy.

It's, doctor, engineer, lawyer,

hundreds of jobs,

Isis, then comedian.

Ah, I'm sorry.

It's very rude

to heckle comedians.

Oh, that wasn't a heckle.

I just kind of

whoo-hoo'd for you.

Well, see,

that's a common misconception.

Heckling doesn't have

to be negative.

So if I was like, "oh, my god,

you're amazing in bed!"

- That would be a...

heckle?

Yeah, and now you're getting

more laughs than me,

and I don't like that.

You want to come up, do my job?

Let's talk about...

So, are you

from out of town, ma'am?

- Chicago.

- Ooh, windy city.

And what brings you to New York?

- Here to see someone.

- And, um...

Have you seen him?

Or her? I mean, I don't...

I don't know

what your deal is, but...

Yeah, I've seen him.
