Uh, just calm down, calm down.
Hello? I'll call you back.
I have a bad connection.
I can't hear you.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
Um...
So, dad, I wanted
to tell you that
I'm probably...
Hey! Hey.
Hello.
Hello.
Please, please come in.
We are going to
be open for lunch
in just five minutes.
Oh, we were just
looking at the menu,
thank you.
You can eat in, take away,
Whatever your pleasure.
Free papadam.
Listen, dad, I...
I need to tell you
something, okay?
So tell.
I'm going to paris.
Why?
Well, I quit my job.
Why?
Well, I'm doing a stage
With this very,
very important chef.
Stage.
What is stage?
Well, it's like a job.
Like a job.
I see.
What does it pay?
This "like a job"?
It doesn't pay anything, okay?
It's like an apprenticeship.
I see.
So you are quitting
your job where you
are making money
To go to France to
do the same job, mmm?
For free?
You are a bloody
brilliant businessman.
I didn't come here
to argue with you, okay?
That this could be
a tremendous opportunity.
For what?
Going backwards?
What's wrong with you?
Do you know that
you're a bloody old man?
Keep it down.
If your brother
were alive today...
He would've been a doctor
and you would've
been respected,
And he would've had a wife,
and a family and kids,
I understand and
I'm doing nothing...
Badtameez!
You are making mockery
of your brother's memory.
I'm not making
a mockery, okay?
I'm just...
Your poor mother
still thinks a woman
will make you change.
But you are not interested
in bloody anything.
Money, business,
a career, wife,
family. Nothing?
You just want to be a loser.
So, go, go, go.
Go to France,
go to England,
go to china.
Marry a bloody
chinese clown-girl,
And invite your mother
to come and cry at
the bloody wedding!
Dad, relax, all right?
Would you just...
I just came to tell you...
You okay?
Dad. Dad!
Samir. Samir.
Dad? Dad, come down,
come down. Oh, my god.
Here, sit down, sit down,
sit down, sit down, okay.
You okay? You okay?
Dad, sit down, sit down.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Dad!
Call 911!
Call 911!
Dad. Dad! Dad. Help.
That boy's killed his father.
Dad. You're gonna
be fine, okay?
Don't worry.
Don't worry, ma.
I'll take care
of the restaurant.
Yeah, hi, jfk to paris.
Um, next week.
Yeah, the 13th.
Okay.
I'll hold, yes.
So this guy, he rips the teabag,
And pours it into the water.
I don't like teabags.
Will you shut up?
So I tell him,
"arre-bhai, that's
not the way you do it.
"you take the teabag
and you dip it into
the water like this."
Okay, so now he's very thankful.
So I go to the toilet,
and when I come back,
guess what?
He's putting
