What the Fish Page #2

---

I wish you had imbibed some culture

in your daughter as well.

Why? What happened?

What happened?

She posed nude for a photograph.

Sister... She isn't nude.

That's her job.

You should feel proud.

Because my niece posed

almost nude for a photo?

Sister, you're too much..

Our family honour

is being tarnished.

Sister...

- And you're supporting her instead.

Aunty. This is an.

- Shut up.

An?

Sister. It's a popular magazine.

Thank God her father's dead.

What's wrong with her accent?

Morning.

- Hey. Wake up.

You're late as usual.

- No, I am not.

It's just 9:
15.

Forget that"

Sumit, listen"

Sumit..

Hello..

What are you doing?

Who is this person?

- Aunty. Sumit.

My fianc.

I did tell you about him.

Get back.

Get out.

Take your shoes off.

Who are you talking to?

Your daughter's choice

is so pathetic.

Who?

Sumit's arrived.

See, the consequences

of giving too much liberty.

Our family..

-Su.

Loo? - Do you know anything about

our family history"

Down the hall,

on the left. Be quick.

She's introducing

her boyfriend like..

She's her fianc.

But they aren't married yet.

We'll see when they get married.

Why did you send him there?

There's a visitor's toilet outside.

Mom, we'll call you back.

Aunty, don't you have to leave?

Couldn't he have done it at home?

Mister, lift the seat

up before you do it.

Yes, aunty.

And, don't soil the seat.

- Yes.

'Aunty washes her

notes and sticks them.'

'She says, God knows

who have handled these notes."

'And if we wash the notes,

we won't get leprosy."

Don't touch the money,

they're all accounted for.

You should've totalled them up too.

Flush before and afterwards.

- Okay.

Done?

This is the first time"

...I'm leaving my

home for a long time.

So, whoever you are.

This house is now your responsibility.

- Yes.

Suman.

I want the toilet neat and clean.

Yes, aunty. Don't worry.

I am worried because you're here.

And, don't sleep her.

And, if you have to..

...then, take the extra

mattress below the bed..

...and sleep in the hall.

If anyone sleeps on my bed,

I develop an allergy.

Get that.

- Yes.

I always keep telling Suman, that

we shouldn't share a bed.

This is Misty.

Misty.

Are you retarded?

Misty is scared of strangers.

Don't mess with her.

This is her fish food.

See, it's written here.

"Fish food."

Feed her half a spoon every night.

Half.

- Remember, only half a spoon.

More or less upsets Misty's stomach.

Right, Misty?

Your stomach gets upset, right?

Do you?

Hello! Siphon the

water every five days.

And pour half a cap

of chlorine in clean water.

Too much of it can lead to poisoning.

Understand.

Don't worry, aunty.

I'll handle everything.

I love fish.

Stop it.

This is the money plant.

My money plant.

Five years ago I stole

it from Sheila's house.

Water it every day at 8am.

Talk to if for an hour.

Could be romantic stories.

Nursery rhymes will do as well.

"Fish is the queen of the water."

"Water is its life."

"Touch it and it gets scared..

- Take it out and it'll die."

That's how it goes?

You can rest easy, aunty.

Your house is in capable hands.

I am not your aunty.

Why don't you have a carrier?

You can't stuff all that in there.

Don't be scared, she doesn't bite.

- If you break anything".

...I'll have your car impounded.

Suman. Remember.

Feed the fish.

Water the plants.

Don't worry, aunty.

Let's go.

I think aunty liked me.

Just feed the fish

and water the plants, okay.

Don't touch anything else.

Sumit, this not for a day.

It's for a whole month.

You're worried about the house.

What about me staying

all alone here for a month?

And absolutely no friends.

No even one.

Why will my friends come here, Su?

You're just"

Cheers!

Cheers. Thanks.

You're drinking again.

- It's his birthday.

Just one drink.

Look. If you drink,

I'm not going home with you.

Fine. There you go.

One more bites the dust.

What's wrong with all of you?

Everyone's doubling up.

Except for you.

- "Except for you."

Can't you see me happy in life?

There's just one rule in my life.

Always a new partner.

- Let's start.

"At sun down the boys start jamming."

"At sun down the boys start jamming."

Come on, hurry up.

What are you doing?

"As the sun's set,

the boys start jamming."

"Everyone's shaking a leg,

and dancing a storm."

"As the sun's set,

the boys start jamming."

"Everyone's shaking a leg,

and dancing a storm."

"Your charm's so strong.

Without a drink."

"I'm going to break

the dance floor."

"Your charm's so strong.

Without a drink."

"I'm going to break the dance floor."

"At sun down the boys start jamming."

"At sun down the boys start jamming."

"As the sun's set,

the boys start jamming."

"As the sun's set,

the boys start jamming."

Birthday boy.

- You're here too.

Happy birthday, buddy.

- Thank you.

She's Gopa.

- Hi.

Hi, Gopa. - Happy Birthday.

Thank you.

Nice house.

Nice house, but not mine.

I was about to cancel the party.

My house is getting repainted.

No cash in the pocket.

I asked Sumit "Do you have a place".

He said "Do it here,

it's my aunt's place".

I said "Why not".

He's our batch mate.

I'll introduce you to him as well.

Just because I'm a bit senior..

"Doesn't mean you

won't introduce me to her.

Big brother.

You've hit the jackpot.

What's the secret?

She's Gopa.

Gopa, he's Ravi.

- Hello, Gopa.

How are you?

I am Ravi.

Aren't you having anything?

We will, first let

me introduce her to Sumit.

Of course, go ahead.

Gopa. GOP?'-

Excuse me.

- Relax. I will do it.

Sumit. Hi.

How did you make it here?

Weren't you in Dehradoon?

Saharan pu r.

Gopa. Sumit.

Sum. Gopa.

- Hi.

Nice house.

- Thanks.

It's my aunt's.

She's gone for a month.

You need to help us.

Just a minute.

Yes, tell me.

I need a place for Gopa to stay.

She's eloped from home.

What are you saying?

- Yes.

With whom?

- Me, of course.

It all happened so soon,

I couldn't do anything.

Just for few days.

Only for a few days.

Later, I'll handle everything.

Please don't say no.

- No, no.

You can stay.

But, you'll have

to take special care.

Yes.

Who?

- The house.

Yes, of course.

It's just the two of us.

No need to worry.

There are just two conditions.

- What?

Suman shouldn't find out.

Or she will kill me.

You've the feed the

fish and water the plants.

That's all? - Yes.

It's not a problem,

I will handle everything.

I'm not worried because it's you.

And, listen.

Feed half a cap of fish-food everyday

And change the water every 3-4 days.

And pour some chorine as well.

I've handled fishes before.

Cake.

Cake. Come on everyone.

And this money plant.

Don't forget to water it.

- Yes.

Last thing. Don't sleep inside.

There's an extra

mattress under the bed.

Spread that out and

sleep on it. - Okay.

Will you clean the house

before you leave? - Yes.

And, don't use the loo inside.

- Why?

Sumit. Come quickly.

Sing the happy birthday song.

Cut the cake first,

instructions later.
