When Harry Tries to Marry Page #5

Now come along, Harish.

You and l are going...

...wedding shopping for Nita.

- Mum!

Help!

- Mrs. Shankar?

- Yes.

- You don't mind...

...if i come along, do you?

All those luxury stores can be...

...a bit overwhelming for me.

l can only imagine...

...how they must be for someone with

a lot on their mind like you.

You know, she's right.

We could really use...

...another set of good eyes

with fashion sense.

Very well.

Hey, dad. l was wondering

if we could have dinner tonight.

Oh, come on. Please?

lt's gonna be a surprise.

Okay. 8:
00?

Okay, great.

l'll see you then.

Okay. Bye.

Ma'am? Your table.

- This must be a mistake.

- No. You said Shankar.

Table for three.

- Does she look like a Shankar to you?

Dev invited me.

Dev Shankar.

Oh, really? Well, this should

be entertaining.

Geeta.

Geeta Shankar.

Dev's ex- wife.

- Angela. Dev's girlfriend.

You mean current girlfriend.

Hi, dad.

So, what's the big surprise?

Harry, am l having a nightmare,

or is that your mother...

...sitting there?

- No, that's mum.

Dad, you're not trying to set me up

with one of your...

...models again, are you?

- Not exactly.

What on earth is she doing here?

- She just arrived today.

l thought we could have a nice,

family dinner and discuss...

...the marriage planning.

God, please let his night pass

without physical violence.

- Angela.

- Hi.

- Hi, Geeta.

- Hello, Dev.

How are you?

- Very well indeed.

May l present Angela?

My son Harry.

- Nice to meet you.

- Really nice to meet you.

- And--

- Yes, we met.

Hot masala buns, anyone?

They're fresh from the oven.

Perhaps for the gentleman.

He's the baker in the family.

Geeta, don't start, okay?

Dad, may l have a word?

You're unbelievable.

Bravo, dad.

Bravo.

- Harry...

...l only recently came to know

that Angela is pregnant.

And quite honestly, l didn't know

how to break it to you.

- Are you planning to get married again?

- l care about her, Harry.

That's all l know.

And l know you've

heard all this before, but...

...Harry, right now, l'm trying to cope

with the fact that l'm...

...going to be a new father, and my

only son is about to get married.

That's a lot for a man like me

to handle all at once.

l invited Angela here because

l wanted you two to meet.

When have you ever

needed my approval, huh?

l need it now.

Did you at least

invite her to the wedding?

l thought l'd let you do that,

if you wanted to.

Come on. Let's go back to the table.

Angela's all alone with mum.

You should have told me that your

mother was gonna be here.

Could have, but you

wouldn't have come.

Good point.

Wow!

What the hell is this?

This is two of thumper's

hottest chicks, baby.

- Yeah, extra hot, like curry.

- But l asked for two lndians.

No. No, no, no, no.

Girls, l wanted dots, not feathers.

Ah, smoke a peace pipe, Papi.

lt's party time.

Surprise!

- Welcome to lndia, everyone.

- Mum.

Hello, darling.

How are you?

Come, come.

Welcome.

Thanks, but remember, when all else

fails, Pundit Deepak prevails.

Welcome to lndia.

- l couldn't sleep.

- Yeah. Me either.

Must be the jet lag.

ls everything okay?

Can l ask you

an eleventh- hour question?

Sure.

Do you remember that night you

walked me home to my apartment...

Do you remember that night you

walked me home to my apartment...

...after the holi festival?

- Yeah.

Why didn't you kiss me?

All l know is that he's settling,

and l'd rather be alone...

...than settle.

- Poof! Your wish is granted.

You're alone.

- That was really mean.

Look, T, sometimes, you get to play

the bride, and other times,..

...you have to play the photographer.

Next time, you'll play the bride.

All my years of planning

down the drain.

How could l let this happen?

Why now?

Why did l kiss her?

What was l thinking? Huh?

l wasn't. One minute, l was looking

into her big, blue eyes,..

...and the next thing l know--

- lt's called love, man.

And it makes no sense, either.

- Louis, l have no time...

...or place in my life for

love right now.

l'm getting married.

Will you stop

looking at me like that?

- Like what?

- Like you know what l'm thinking.

- All right, l'll stop looking.

- Okay, what am l thinking?

You're thinking,

why am l doing this?

Why did l come halfway across

the world to marry someone...

...that l don't even love?

- l will love her once we're married.

lt doesn't work that way, Harry.

lt's not real if you plan it.

- What do you know?

- That's right.

What do l know?

Just marry Nita, and one night,..

...while you're passionately

having orgasms with her,..

...you'll accidentally

scream out my name.

Oh, Theresa. Oh, baby--

- Stop it! Please.

Oh, don't worry, Harry, Nita will

totally understand, since you've...

..."arranged" to love her.

- Okay, first of all,..

...Nita won't be having any orgasms.

Secondly, no one will be screaming...

...anyone else's names.

- Wow. That sounds like...

...a kick- ass honeymoon.

- You think that's funny, don't you?

Okay, for your information, l would

never call out your name.

l've got it all under control.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- lt's really something, eh?

- Crazy! l can't believe this place.

lt's so beautiful.

- My ancestors used to live here.

- This is Theresa.

- Hi! God, l've heard...

...so much about you.

- Thanks.

l'm so sorry.

l'm new at this.

lt's okay.

lt happens to most of us.

Louis. Hi.

- You must be Rick.

- You've heard of me.

So how are you guys

enjoying the dance?

- The dance was super- fly.

- lt was dope.

lt was dope.

There you are.

Mrs. Shah, how are you?

Nice to see you. Commissioner.

Harish, you seem like a nice boy.

But you know what?

Sometimes nice boys

do not so nice things.

Understand this. lf you ever

hurt my precious flower,..

...l'll have you ground

into the dust you came from.

Okay.

Commissioner.

- You can call me dad.

- Oh, yeah. l'm so glad...

...we can talk openly

to one another.

- l'll see you.

- Dad.

- lt's called Dandiya.

- Dandiya?

- Can l talk to you for a moment?

- You can always talk to me, Harry.

lt's an lndian traditional dance

that you're supposed to do.

Listen, l--

l just wanted to say...

...l'm really sorry if i hurt you.

- Harry, l--

Relax. lt's not like

l didn't see this coming.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Shall we go up to the dome?

- Sure. Just give me...

...a second, l'll join you there.

- All right.

Take your time.

That's a lovely sari

that you're wearing.

Thank you. lt's just something

l picked up when in Rome--

- What a beautiful tattoo you have.

- Thank you.

You know, l think

Harish told me about it.

- He told you about my sunflower?

- Yeah. Sometimes l think...

...he talks more about you than

he talks about himself.

At first, l was really jealous.

But then, he told me...

...how helpful you were with

planning out the wedding,..

...and how you helped him

pick out the wedding invite.

He's really lucky

to have a friend like you.
