Waqt: The Race Against Time Page #7

treats his son, Mithi?

Exactly! That's what our son will ask.

How can a father treat his son like this?

You've started neglecting him

even before he's born, Adi

What neglect, darling...?

- What else is this!

l haven't even had a cup of tea and

you're rubbing cream into your face

But l have to.

The contest begins soon

Apart from my talent, l also have

to take care of my looks

There are 5 months to go for your

contest. What'll l do till then?

You want me to act for a meal?

Pooja hasn't had anything to eat.

- She's the one l'm taking this for

Made in clarified-butter.

l'll ask her to eat it up quietly

And Adi...?

l mean, he must've come

to his senses by now

l'm sorry, baby. l ought to

have considered your state

After you, you are

my responsibility

l have a suggestion. Go away to

your Papa's house for a few days,okay

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

lf you can't handle responsibilities,

why did you marry me, Adi?

Because l love you, darling!

- No, you don't! You only love yourself!

Or you wouldn't have been so shameless

to ask me to go to my father's house

What else can l do...?

l'm worried about you

Get to work. Understand your

responsibilities... live up to them!

Now who's going to make a lead man

out of me in one single day?

Or do you want me to sweep the

garden...? Me? Sweep the garden?

Where are you going now...?

To Papa's house...? Hey!

Taking a walk, are you...?

What are you upto?

You think you are a prince

And despite being a princess,

l'll have to work for a living

My baby's starving

Listen to me... Listen ! Please!

Don't cry. l feel awful

when you cry, please

And give that broom to me.

lt doesn't look good in your hands

Look at me...

you do trust me, don't you?

l don't right now.

- Well, all right. You will soon

ln a little while, l'll get fruits,

pizzas and... everything for you !

l'll bring for you everything

in the world, okay?

So go inside and rest

lf not for us, do it at least

for the baby that's going to arrive

Please, please, please...

Ma... what's for breakfast?

- Nothing for you

l stay out for a day and you get back

to making rotten things!

l'm so hungry, l'm going to faint.

Rustle up a meal for me, please!

Aditya, you've got an

opportunity to prove...

that you can look after

your wife and child

Don't lose this opportunity.

- You too have the opportunity...

to feed your pregnant daughter-in-law.

What are you doing about it?

You keep scolding me for nothing!

Please, Ma... l'm terribly hungry

All right, you don't make it.

l'll ask Question-Mark to do it

Laxman...

Hurry up and pack it in

You sit here

Aditya's in the kitchen.

Stuffing the lunch-box

Adi, keep that lunch-box back

Sumi, this boy is not

stepping in this house again

Keep it back.

- Not for me. For your daughter-in-law

She's hungry. lt's necessary

for her to eat, isn't it?

So have the food brought from her

father's house! ls this a hotel?

Why're you talking like this, Dad?

Mithi's pregnant, isn't she?

Did you ask us before

you planned the baby?

10 babies are born every minute

in this country

Must l turn my house into

an orphanage...

so every hungry beggar can

barge into it whenever he's hungry?

My child is not an orphan, dad

With a father like you,

what else will your child be?

The child will himself

ask you some day...

''Why did you give birth to me,

if you couldn't look after me?''

Even an animal takes the trouble to

hunt for her cubs, you shameless man !

You're worse than an animal!

The beggar!

Go on now! Get lost!

lf you're so fond of begging,

stand with your wife on the streets

A lot of people will take

pity on you and give you money

And when the baby's born, take it

along too. You'll get a lot of money!

C'mon get out!

Out!

lt's all happening because of you,

Sumi. Only because of you !

l'm his mother, lshu...

do you think l didn't feel bad?

Was that any way for me to

talk to my son?

l've broken my son's heart

After l'm dead, you must tell him

that all this was because...

My darling son !

How hurt he must've been

But l liked it very much

We're teaching him to

walk on his own, lshu

Let him fall and steady himself.

He'll learn to walk on his own

Whatever you're doing is right.

You mustn't regret it

Go away, Pooja.

Go back to the room

No, Aditya. Let me stand here

l want our baby to see what a

responsible man his father is

He can even pick up the broom...

- l'm a terrible man

Why else would Papa say

such nasty things to me?

What a scolding he gave me!

- You're a very responsible father

But you are a terrible servant

That's not the way to sweep

the floor, Adi. Let me do it

No, l'll learn it.

l can't sweep the garden too

Didn't l ask you to go away?

Go on... go away from here

Where are you going, Adi?

- Our baby's starving, Pooja

We need to do something.

l'll be back soon

l'll do it right away, sir

Sharma, this is Chowdhary

Listen to me. He's irresponsible

Keeping me on tenterhooks

till the last moment. Why?

No, you listen to me! l'll complain

to the stuntmen's union, you dig?

Sir, if you need an assistant...

l need poison right now.

Will you fetch some?

lf the shoot is cancelled, the producer

and the director will kill me

Give me one chance, sir.

l badly need money

l'm talking on the phone,

let me talk

Now listen to me, Sharma.

l understand it's a difficult stunt

But l can't help it. Who will reason

with the producer and the director?

Can you?

Right, that's why l ask you to talk

to some stuntman and send him over

All right, charge double the amount.

You don't want me killed, do you?

l'll do it, sir...

- Shut up, will you?

l know it's risky, but there's risk

involved in every business

Flood, earthquake, extortion threats

... anything can happen

So you won't send a stuntman?

To hell with all of you !

l won't let you down, sir.

Please give me one opportunity

The best stuntmen in the industry

have refused me

You think you are the cat's whiskers?

- l don't care for my life

l'm not scared. l'll sign

any document you want me to

One chance, please

lt's only to please you, Ma

Aditya's pride must not take a beating

... l got to take care of that too

My dear, your baby...

Nothing will happen.

There will be no problems, l promise

lf Adi doesn't bring food tonight,

l'll myself come to you...

and you'll feed me

My dear...

God willing, you won't have

to come here

lt's very risky.

- lt's okay

But l'll accept only cash.

- See those dogs?

They've been starving for two days.

- My baby is starving too

A big chunk of flesh will be tied

to your arm

Once the shoot is on,

nobody can help you, get that?

Those wild dogs will pounce on you

l'll get the money

after the shot, will l ?

Tell the director that we've found

a stuntman. Give him the dress

Cut!

What are you watching?

Save him. Go

Moron ! Couldn't you have

asked for help?

Are you blind? Get first aid

Had these dogs torn you apart,
