Bride & Prejudice Page #2

Mama.

Or yours, l'm sure.

Just imagine - if Jaya went to live in UK,

we could visit her any time.

l would hate to have my daughters so far away.

But we have so many.

One or two can go abroad.

They'll earn more. God knows they need to,

because we can't afford to give them

all decent dowries.

Perhaps we should have drowned some

at the time of their birth.

We wouldn't have had these problems

if we had gone to US.

Did l tell you about this fellow

who went to America and made it rich?

My brother did all the paperwork to sponsor us

but you didn't want to leave.

This fellow went to America

and bought a huge American house

and built three swimming pools.

Now he owns three Subway franchises

in New Jersey.

And what do we have?

An old house, an old farm, and new bills.

So when his father visited from lndia,

he showed him around his mansion

and three swimming pools.

His father asked,

''But, son, why do you need three pools?''

So he said proudly, ''Well, one is filled

with cold water for when l feel hot.

The second is filled with hot water

when l feel cold.''

The father nodded and said,

''But why is the third pool empty?''

He said, ''Well, that's when

l don't feel like swimming at all.''

(Daughters laugh)

Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha.

Listen, Balraj, if you really wanna get married,

hook up with an lndian girl from England,

or even America.

You'd have something in common.

Look, l didn't have any problems

talking with Jaya, did l?

She's intelligent, she's beautiful.

Come on, Bal.

Look around you.

You said it yourself, man.

We're in Hicksville lndia.

Then why did l see you eyeing up Lalita?

She's beautiful, yeah, but...

But not your mum's idea

of the mother of her heirs, right?

Not exactly, no.

- Bye.

- Give me that bag.

- Why?

- l want to go over there.

- Come.

- Just give me the bag.

# ls this going to be

# The last time we three

# Walk down this street together?

# She's going to be wed

# lt doesn't mean she's dead

# We'll be friends for ever

# lt's not long before the day

# l up, up, up and fly away

# So let's make this a walk to remember

# There are stars in your way

# From Amritsar to UK

# There are stars in your way

# From Amritsar to UK

# You are the golden girl

# The centre of the world

# Just ask and you shall have it

# This is your moment, grab it

# Your wish is our command

# We'll supply what you demand

# You've turned their lives around

# You got a marriage into town

# A marriage has come to town

# Laughter, colour, light and sound

# Life is great, let's celebrate

# The sacred union two souls have found

# You see flowers are most important

# Bright garlands can never be forgotten
