Touch of Pink Page #7
the surgeon, think?
Alim may be a lucky so-and-so,
but he shouldn't push his luck.
Not a surgeon, Sheru,
an economist.
But Nina's still a dentist.
An economist for UNICEF.
It's not a she, it's a he.
His name is Giles. And this is him.
Hello.
And Giles also
is a lucky so-and-so.
Oh, God.
How about we make some
mango-pickle sandwiches...
...when we get home.
Cary...
...remember in The Bishop's Wife...
...you told David Niven
an angel only leaves...
...when he's not needed anymore?
- Yes.
It was a brilliant plot device,
because it was Loretta Young who...
Oh, but, Alim, you do need me.
You can't get along without me.
I made you what you are today.
I made you.
You can't go now. You're my sister.
Nuru, please.
Think what everyone will say if you
leave now. How does it look?
It looks beautiful, Dolly.
Just like you wanted.
But the flowers will brown
and the ice sculptures will melt.
And then what?
What, you think real life is easy?
Is pleasant?
Well, I've got news for you.
It's terrifying.
Terrible things happen.
Loss and pain and shame.
Terrible things.
Loss and pain and shame.
I know. I remember.
But what if you make a mess
of things?
- What if...?
- I will.
But it's my only life, Cary.
And I need it to be mine.
Well, this is all a bit...
I don't know how I'll survive
without you, Alim.
I envy you.
Live every moment of it.
Live it for me.
No more tears.
Be happy, my little samosa.
Be happy.
Now, Giles, this is your place too.
Make yourself at home completely.
- Clean my kitchen if you want.
- Thank you.
Ma, that's an expression
that doesn't hold up...
...outside our family.
- Really?
Alim said there was something wrong
with the toilet.
No, it's working all right.
I must have got it wrong.
All this drama at the wedding.
Alim told me.
As Mr. George Bernard Shaw
once said...
Or was it Mr. Gulbinder Shah
in apartment 1412?
I can never remember.
They're both so witty.
"For the mismatched,
marriage is a three-ring circus.
The engagement ring,
the wedding ring and the suffering."
Well, I'll just go finish
the sandwiches.
- Let me help you.
- No, no. Not necessary.
I'm a very good cook.
My dumplings are legendary.
Well, all right.
You butter while I pickle.
Hey. Come on.
Giles, there's something
we should talk about.
Yes.
There's been another man.
I know.
You know?
Of course I know. I was there.
Yeah, I guess you were.
Look, if it's okay with you, I'd just like
to put it behind us and move on.
- Fresh start.
- That would be great.
Let's just forget about it,
all right?
Well, not forget completely.
He's been useful to us.
And it was fun sometimes.
- Yeah.
- And he was so handsome.
You never met him.
But you did see him on the telly.
At the Olympics.
Him.
- Yeah.
- Alim...
...are we on the same wavelength?
We are now.
