for my ad campaign.

She's a smart girl.

- Yeah. He's kidding.

Have fun. Buddy.

It's okay.

Look. But don't touch.

Look. But don't touch.

Do you know. When I was little.

I always wanted to find the golden ticket

in that chocolate.

Like Willy Wonka.

So that I could go somewhere new.

I always wanted to know

who was gonna drink that chocolate

- after the fat kid fell in it.

- Yeah.

Did you just try to push me in?

hat was a tap and you're too heavy.

You see.

I knew there was another side to you.

n the outside. You're the psychic.

Sweet nurse from India.

But you've got a streak.

You're right.

here are things you should know.

- alk. alk.

- re you mad?

- No.

- alk.

I'll throw you in.

I forgot to watch out for drunk mericans.

h. There you are.

Listen. I know. I know.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Business first. I need you for a second.

ne of us will be right back.

- Gee.

- What's up. Buddy?

- I just put something together.

- h. Yeah? What's that?

Well. Call me cynical.

But did you bring your Indian friend

Prius here...

- Priya.

Whatever.

free-thinking. International guy?

"Look at me. I'm dating an Indian girl. "

Yeah. You...

You figured me out. Chuck.

h. Yeah.

ll right. All right.

Priya! Priya. Wait!

- Where are you going?

- I'm going back.

I think I've served my purpose.

- What are you talking about?

- I hope I was impressive enough for him.

I heard you.

You only took me to the party

to make your boss happy.

Is that why you bought me this dress?

- So I wouldn't embarrass you?

- What?

No. No.

kay. look. The thought did cross my mind

that bringing you to this party

would impress Kit.

- But the truth is. I think you're...

- Stupid.

Right?

Get into the car.

Both of you. Get into the car.

Rajiv! Rajiv. Where are you off to?

Priya called and asked us

to pick her up from the city.

We didn't want to inconvenience you. So...

I'll also come with you. Since you don't

know your way around here.

No. No. We've got the map.

Show her the map.

You've been already too generous. Okay?

We'll return the car soon. Bye!

- Bye!

- Bye!

Who is it?

I don't have time

to eat your poisoned candy.

It's just a little poison.

Come on! Just one bite.

Did you read it?

No. I threw it away.

I heard your little fingers

peel back the wrapper.

hough. As I've witnessed.

Your ears are far superior to mine.

It's merican for "I'm sorry. "

Did you steal it from the hotel lobby?

hat is an outrageous accusation.

kay. Yeah. I did.

kay. Everything except the last thing.

You're right. I'm sorry.

t least let me give you a day

you'll never forget?

ll right. I promised you a day

Wow!

Now. Anything catches your eye.

Just take a picture.

Pretty woman, walking down the street

Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet

Pretty woman

Like hold the crab.

You need to get over your crab fear.

Nibbling.

Pretty woman

That you look lovely as can be

Are you lonely just like me?

Oh, oh, pretty woman

So. In India do your parents pick out

who you're gonna marry?

Look at that.

Yeah. In a way.

Well. Probably cuts down

on a lot of bad dates.

- nd a lot of good ones.

But. You know.

People learn that love grows.

It's not like a rose

already blooming in a flower shop.

Well. What if you get

And after like two days. It just dies?

Better luck next life.

Look at you.

Probably find Priya under Granger.

or something.

Like with my job. You know.

I want to be the best at what I do.

that make people happy.

Well. Maybe you should do something

that makes you happy.
