Of course we talk. Come.

Let's go join the party.

So, dad, what do you think

about my plan?

You have your whole life ahead of you.

Now's the time to enjoy yourself.

Go see what's out there.

Later is the time to marry.

Anyway, tonight is party night.

We shall discuss this another time.

Go! Live a little.

- Hello.

- Harish.

l have found the one for you.

Check your email.

Her name is Nita Shah.

- Nita Shah.

Nita Shankar.

Mrs. Nita Shankar.

She is 22, and from a very good

family. And your birth charts,..

...they match to perfection.

So, Harish, deal or no deal?

Well, can l think about it?

Harish, are you arranging this

marriage or am l arranging it?

Now listen, please. Her parents are

eager to get her married,..

...so time is of essence. And this

goldfish is not going to be swimming...

...in the tank for much longer.

- Oh. But--

- No buts.

Remember, you are no spring

chicken, Harish.

Already 22. That's like 72 in

prospect years.

And if you wait any longer to

get married, the only types we may...

...be able to find you are,

how do you call them?

Chicks.

Yes, chicks!

Who have already hatched.

And we all know what happens...

...when the shells break. Now we don't

want broken shells, do we, Harish?

- Oh, god, no.

- Oh, god, yes.

What is it going to be, Harish?

The egg or the chick?

The egg.

The egg for sure.

Ah, great!

l've included an email i. d.

So you can communicate

directly with her if you want to.

- Really? Will that be okay?

- Beta, this is the 21st century.

Don't they teach you anything

over there in the university?

- Hey, who's the babe, man?

- Louis, come on.

Come on.

Her name is Nita Shah.

She's 22, studying to be an architect

like me, and the best part is,..

...she's crazy about children

and animals.

So are pedophiles and

sex offenders, man.

- Louis, l might be marrying her.

- What? When did all this happen?

- Recently.

- You know, you can't get married.

You're a virgin.

Can't hurt so bad.

Just count to three.

- Louis, this is insane.

- Son of a b*tch!

Dude, get me some ice

from the fridge, quick!

Jalapeos. My nuts are on fire,

And you bring me jalapeos?

lt was the only thing we had left

in the freezer.

- Thanks.

- Look, tonight, this date, l'm not going.

- No, you're going.

- l'm going to be married.

Then you've got nothing

to worry about, do you?

l mean, we're only meeting them to

choose a subject for a lousy...

...term paper.

- ln a bowling alley? Huh?

This is totally inappropriate.

Hey, just 'cause you order

your meal from the menu,..

...don't mean you still can't

check out the buffet.

Now relax. You'll be safe

in a bowling alley.

lt's well- lit.

Ralph Stein

Ralph Stein (1909–1994) was a writer, cartoonist and illustrator. Ralph Stein was born in New York City in 1909. He began his career as a photographer and illustrator at The World-Telegram. During World War II he was the staff cartoon editor for the U.S. Army magazine "Yank". During that time he was co-author, with Harry Brown, of "It's a Cinch, Private Finch," a humorous book about Army life, and many of his cartoons from "Yank" were compiled into a book called "What Am I Laughing At?".From 1953 to 1959, he helped draw and write the "Popeye" comic strip and illustrated "Here's How" for King Features. Stein's first daily "Popeye" strip was published in December 1954 and his last in August 1959. Stein's stories used very little of Popeye's supporting players, and instead took the sailor all over the world. He also returned Bluto to the daily strip beginning in 1957. Later Stein created Bluto's beard-less 'twin brother", Burlo. Stein was the author of several books about cars, including Sports Cars of the World (1952), Treasury of the Automobile (1961), The American Automobile (1978) and The Great Cars (1967).Other books by Ralph Stein include The Pinup From 1852 to Now and The Great Inventions.Stein died in 1994 at the Saybrook Convalescent Hospital in Old Saybrook, Conn at age 85 after a long illness. He had lived in Connecticut for many years. more…
