to see me tonight on the sly"

"Exciting!"

"This youth is so exciting"

"Your girl is mad about you"

"Why do you refuse me?"

"Why do you look away from me?"

"Look here, the world is yours"

"Why are you afraid of love?"

How much did you make today?

- Ten thousand five hundred

Why only fifty-fifty?

You can have many times more

How?

- Tomorrow morning...

a bank is being inaugurated.

Say, haws the opportunity?

A sleight of hand, and there's

a hundred thousand or so going

All you need is a car.

- Car?

A good car.

- For me, that's a sleight of hand

Eleven tomorrow. I'll tell you where

Good! Someday, you'll surely

make me proud

It's late

You have to make it by eleven

First class car!

Car? Where?

Out there

Who's driving it?

- No idea

A girl just got down

and walked into that shop

Keys?

- With her, maybe

That one?

Can't you see?

No keys here

Return the bag.

- What for?

It will make things easier.

We'll make it work.

How will you return it?

What happened?

- I've been robbed!

Who did it?

- I didn't notice

He was with you!

I had it a moment ago

- You didn't notice who robbed you?

Had I noticed, I would've caught him!

You...

Yes you!

- Who me?

Look, there goes the thief!

Stop! Thief!

He jumped over the wall!

Wait here

Come on, help me

There you are! Hiding!

Aren't you ashamed? Give it to me.

Else, I'll beat you to pulp

I'm going to kill you! Give me!

You dare stare at me like that?

Hey... knife!

Are you running away? Coward!

Coward!

He ran away

Anyway, here's your purse

Keep it

You've been through so much

trouble for my sake

No trouble. I've taken more

I should apologize. You risked

your life to get my purse back

And I suspected you

Not your fault

It's just my looks

Sometimes even the police

are mistaken

Bye

How was the show?

- No use

We'll find a car. Why worry?

Get over to the place

I'll join you after a change

of clothes

Hey Romeo! You tear your clothes

no sooner than you see a girl!

Get lost

Get going

Stop! Thief!

Where are you going?

Inside

Inside? What do you want?

- Strange question

Your boss is the one who called me.

And you ask me what I want?

The boss, or the lady? Who called you?

Yes, the lady

So you're the one

who fixes the piano?

Yes! The piano fixer!

Is the piano in there?

- Are pianos kept outside?

No! Inside. Come on in,

else I'll get into trouble

Looks like a billionaire's palace!

The mantle!

What a lovely mantle!

What a grand mansion!

What kind of a joke is this?

Here's the piano

This piano is in bad shape.

Badly damaged

Rotten! Itll take me time to fix it.

Go on, get back to work

I'll fix it

Who's playing my piano?

You...?

- You...!

I'm mistaken, once again

I thought it must be a thief

That's what I am.

- What?

I mean, who else but a thief

would come in uninvited?

No, it's good of you

to have come

You did me a favor.

I should've called you over

But I didn't know your address.

How did you find out my address?

No, don't ask me that.

It's a secret

Let's say, it's luck that has led me

to your doorstep

Please be seated

No, thanks

Matches

Madam, he's the piano-fixer...

- Piano fixer?

Your servant thinks I'm here

to fix the piano

But you said...

Never mind, take the call. Go on

Strange fellow. He took you

for a piano mechanic

Not his fault.

It's just my looks

Inspector sahib, no thief

came in here

Please wait here

What brings the police here?

Excuse me, I'll be back

A car thief has sneaked into one

of the houses in this neighborhood

Have you seen anyone?

- No, no one came in here

She's wrong about

no one coming in here

I happen to be a visitor.

Would you be looking for me?

No... how could this be?

Come

Grand house

Yes. It belongs to the Judge

Judge...?

- Yes, he's my guardian

Like the guard on the train

...signaling red and green?

No. After my father passed away,

I have been his ward

For the sake of my education,

he left Lucknow and he came to Bombay

I am much obliged to him

Do judges sport such grand houses?

He must be making a pile on the side

What a thing to say!

The judge is very principled

He never spares criminals

I hope God spares him!

Not to worry. If you're ever arraigned

in his court, let me defend your case

You... lawyer?

- Yes

I took you for a schoolgirl

That was a nice one. A couple

of months, and I'll be an advocate

Would you like to see my degree?

A judge lives here. And a lawyer too.

Leaves only one to make a full court!

Yours truly. And here I am.

- And what are you up to?

Thievery

Stealing, picking pockets, locks,

ladies' purses, like yours...

that's what I'm up to.

- You're joking again. Be seated

You don't think I'm a thief?

- No, I think you're a gentleman

This is the new world order!

The thieves, the hoodwinkers...

they all dress in first class suits

like I'm wearing, and we take them...

for gentlemen. But those who work hard

for an honest living and dress shabbily

...are labeled tramps and wastrels.

The capitalists, the black marketers...

the profiteers, the usurers...

who are they? Thieves, like I am!

You sound like a stock broker

or a banker

You might say that give and take

of money is what I'm concerned with

As far as banks are concerned,

I visit banks regularly

Be seated

Tell me your name

Tell me, whose photo is this?

- Mine

You...?

Yes, when I was young

It's a birthday photo

Your name?

Rita. Why?

Ms Rita, would you like to come

to my house?

I'd like to show you

something unique

My mother would be very pleased

to meet you. Come

You...?

After twelve years

You've changed!

You haven't changed at all

Where have you been, Raj?

Looking for you

And at last, I've found you

- And when I saw you...

I took you for a thief

Not your fault.

It's in my looks

"Ever since my lover

has come home..."

"my heart leaps with joy"

"His heart said

something to mine"

"And the old days returned"

"Our days have returned again"

"He brings so much of happiness..."

"my heart leaps with joy"

"My heart he could win

through my eyes"

"I could lay the stars

at his feet"

"My hopes soar...

my heart leaps with joy"

"Ever since my beloved

has come home..."

"my heart leaps with joy"

"We are young

and we are in love"

"He is the one who

makes my world"

"My heart leads him to me...

my heart leaps with joy"

"Ever since my hero has returned,

my heart springs to life"

The Judge is here

So here you are. And you're late

The doctor has told you to come home

and rest for at least an hour

But you won't listen.

You look so tired

Just sit here. I'll get you

your dressing gown

Tell me, where have you been

all this time?

I had a lecture in the law college.

I went there directly from the court

All that jabbering

is giving me a headache

That's bound to happen. The doctor

told you to eat before eight

It's nine thirty now

Listen to that! Even the clock

is angry with you

Come on

Tell me about yourself. What have
