New York, I Love You Page #2
That's why
there are no Christians
in the diamond market.
How can you trust a person
who will eat anything?
[snickers]
This parcel's
not so good.
At least 20% rejection
you have given me.
How much?
[speaking Gujarati]
[Man in Gujarati]
Too much.
Way too much.
I will give you 480.
Why are you doing this
to me?
My children
will be crying at home
because after I do business with
you, I have no money for food.
I can't make
commission on this.
Maybe I can give my children
some dry bread.
I have to check
with my customer.
[speaking Yiddish]
My customer
says too much.
No, he doesn't.
I know
you understand Gujarati.
[chuckles]
That's why I lied.
And I know you know
I know Gujarati.
And I know
you know Yiddish.
I was speaking
to an answering machine.
Mazel.
I'm sorry.
I can't shake your hand.
I'm not allowed
to touch any man
who isn't my husband.
Mazel.
And mazel for your wedding.
Mazel for the dozen children
you will soon have.
Thank you.
Is that your children?
Minesh and Paresh.
Where's your wife? Oh,
she's not looking that good
in the photographs
these days.
Oi.
Last year she decided
that marriage was a sin.
Now she's in India,
with her head shaved,
going door to door,
collecting food in the bowl.
She used to be my wife.
Now I have to worship her.
Don't worry. She's not
the only one without hair.
I had to shave off
all mine this morning
Because I'm getting
married tomorrow.
This is a wig.
Why? What is so wrong
with women's hair anyway?
Why you all want
to cut it off?
They wanted me to cut it off
on my wedding night.
I said "No way."
Yeah?
It took 25 years to grow,
And now,
for the rest of my life,
I have to wear
some other woman's hair.
For all I know,
you could be wearing
my wife's hair right now.
What do you mean,
your wife's hair?
Most human hair in America
comes from our temples in India,
where women offer
their long locks to God
so that they can be sold to the
West and you can have your wigs.
While we are waiting
for the Messiah,
while we are waiting
for Mahavir...
your eyes will suffice
to give tired men hope.
This is not the proper
etiquette in this neighborhood.
What is this?
[traditional]
[Men shouting]
[continues]
[shouting continues]
[Diamond Salesman]
Rifka!
Rifka!
[Rifka]
Mansukhbai!
[car radio:
Man singingin foreign language]
[Man singing along
in foreign language]
[speaking French]
Ah, oui?
Ah, oui.
[resumes singing
along with radio]
[sighs]
Oh, I'm s--
I'm so sorry.
Wow, that's an entrance.
Wait. Which way
are you going?
Uh, I was just gonna go over
cross town to the East Side.
Oh, I guess I can film
