Look ma, what I brought foryou.

Your daughter-in-law.|Her name is Sue.

What? Aforeigner?

Brought her especially from London.|That's why I was away for so long.

Give me your blessings Ma.

Your son's such a brat.

God! She understands Hindi!

You really understand everything?|Yes.

I'm going off to sleep. Your beds are|all ready. No need to drive so late at night.

Sue, where are you?

Will you guys act in my film?

Hey, why are you guys laughing?|I'm the hero of herfilm.

Yeah we guys are champions|when it comes to acting...

...clowning around is all they do.

The four of you will be|perfect forthe roles...

And Sonia will be my Durga Bhabhi.

She really knows Hindi!

All this talk of patriotism is boring.

Boring? These guys gave their|lives forthe freedom of your country.

What freedom? Have you seen|the state of this country?

Excuse me! I believe in this country, Karan.

Otherwise, why would|I be fighting for it?

Maybe because it's cool!|Being a pilot... flying an expensive plane.

You get to wear sexy jackets...

And the women...|women love men in uniforms.

Sure I love being a pilot.|Sure it's cool.

But I also feel proud of my country,|and I can give my life for it.

Proud of what?

...this country's exploding population?

...or unemployment...|or corruption?

Which of these are you really proud of?

No country's perfect Karan.|We've got to make it better.

Right.

Ok, Ajay you make|this country perfect.

The minute I get my degree|I'm out of this dump...

You won't be able|to leave us and go.

She speaks Hindi so well!

Why didn't you tell me you idiot.|I was making a fool of myself.

At least ask them once.

So you won't give up.

Ok. But nobody will turn up.

I'll get them. That's a promise.

Karan put your cigarette out.

Grandpa!

God bless you.|When did you come?

Just last night.

Good morning Karan.|Back so early?

I didn't know you were in town.

Just arrived an hour ago.

It was a long flight...|Everything Ok at college?

Everything's fine Dad.

Have you decided which American|university you want to go to next year?

Michigan, Carnegie,|Mellon, Wharton...

I know the list.

Hello...

Karan wait!

I can't hearyou clearly|call me later.

I know that you know about the lists.

But life doesn't just happen to you.

You've got to plan it...

Every second someone|is born in this country.

Nobody cares about them.|Neitherthe government nor God.

Do something.|Or else you will be one of them.

Please, don't start with your lectures.

SMS generation.|Any conversation that goes beyond...

...four lines becomes a lecture.

Signal's weak here. Give me a second.|Excuse me Karan.
