Devdas Page #2

Bless you, son

You look just like an Englishman!

We've been so eager to see you

Kaushalya-Didi is dying to see you.

- Where is Paro?

She was here a moment ago

She said, let Devdas come

and I'll do this and I'll do that

I'll fight with him and scratch him.

Now you're here and she's hiding

Hey Paro

Can I go upstairs?

- Yes son, go on

How have you been Paro?

Won't you turn to see my face?

We're meeting after so many days

Days? For you, maybe.

For me...

10 years, 6 months,

4 days and 6 hours

You never missed me?

- I did

Lies! Only 5 letters in 10 years?

There are four seasons in a year

Couldn't you write once a season?

- Makes sense. You're a big girl

Takes time?

The desire to meet the sea

turns the stream into a river

Then why take time

to show your face?

Like sighting the Moon after ages,

I fear I'll leave you breathless

Not even the Moon is as vain.

- But the Moon is scared

Till moonrise spare the Moon,

to see which leaves me breathless...

the Moon's radiance?

Or your vanity?

Paro, I hate the thought

of someone else touching you

Look, Devdas is here!

- Let him come

Don't be angry.

- I don't want to talk to him

Tell him to go away.

- But Ma...

I said, I don't want to...

- Ma

Go, I don't want to see your face

Why, what's so ugly

about my face...

that neither Paro

nor you want to see?

After 10 years of waiting,

the neighbour gets to welcome you?

Go back to your Paro

Won't you open your eyes?

- I won't

Won't see me either?

Very well

I'm going away.

- Where...?

Where are you going, Dev?

- Dev, stop

Why did you let him leave?

I was just joking

I was joking too

My prodigal son returns a lawyer.

But no let up on the mischief?

Babu-ji...? (=Father)

- He left for his chambers early...

something urgent.

- I know, I know

Complaints every day!

Dev and Paro never went to school.

Dev caught smoking

All day tramping around the village

with that Paro

Not another moment

for you in this house

The day I left,

he wasn't at home

This day I return,

he still isn't here

You know, the British government

is knighting him

I see!

- And he'll be so glad to see you

Really?

- Glad he is, at work

In my home, fathers welcome sons

returning home after years...

with arms outstretched.

- Same here, child

Come to me, my darling

I told you to get me

a nice foreign watch

Have you brought it?

No, but I bring fortuitous times

Look...

over here... but I can't even

make out clearly

They use only paper?

- And sometimes, not even that

I never shook hands

What are you upto?

Give my box back to me

Give it to me

What's happening?

- Nothing

Watching Devdas?

How do you find him?

I'm not telling.
