what you said?

Do you know how much money you

had swindled here? 20, 000 Dollars!

Son, in our hospital a junior doctor

is not getting this much salary.

In India, living cost is less...

...including food, stay, travel plus

all other expenses, 5,000 bucks.

More than enough!

Only 5, 000 Dollars!

Dad that is not enough!

5, 000 Dollars!

I told 5, 000 Rupees! Indian Rupee!

Joe, even that is more!

The balance, should be spend carefully.

Learn how to manage money.

No text books will come at

par with real life experience!

The Indian plan was Dad's trap Korah!

Oxygen?

2,000 Dollars!

When your call came, do you know what

all things came flowing to my mind?

Fish curry at the toddy shop...

...festival at the Kallu Para church,

Pathalam Balan's music show.

2,000 Dollars, Isaac doctor

had told, not to send a penny!

Strict order...

...even the amount of urine you are

spilling out there, we get the details here!

The doctor very well knows it,

I'll be the one...

...who will be helping you,

in which ever manner.

Hey, don't you know

the attitude of your Father...

...then my manager job will

be at stake! At Kumbanad.

Then, I also, will be at that place,

at the hell like you. Sorry Joekutta.

Korah, last time

where did we lie like this?

That day was also

a full moon was it not?

Moon, I don't remember that.

Without bikini!

Will there be any nude

beach like that in India?

Yesterday, night also

I tried to tune that beach...

...not even a single scene came,

when in dire need!

Not bad...spacious rooms!

Half earth distance from here to US.

Here, there is no one to

control us is it not Korah?

No one to help also.

To go back

at least we need, 2,000 Dollars.

Whom to ask? Who would give?

You had disgusted all of them.

Who? Me?

- No...Me!

At least if there were

1000 Dollars, I would have gone!

Then what about me?

I'll send you ticket,

on reaching there.

For that, I'll go,

does it make any difference?

Okay then you go!

Must call on reaching there.

This 1,000 Dollars,

is it really a big money!

Korah get up man!

Wake up.

"Not a penny left in hand"

"Not a penny left in hand"

"Not a penny left to

buy a mere square meal!"

"Not a penny left to

buy a mere square meal!"

"Not a penny left in hand"

"No one, to borrow.

No gold to pledge"

"No one, to borrow.

No gold to pledge"

"Beloved on seeing you,

bee stings in my heart"

"Beloved on seeing you,

bee stings in my heart"

"Not a penny left in hand"

"Not a penny left to

buy a mere square meal!"

Uncle, will you give me, mother's

new number, I do not have with me.

Why are you not saying anything?

"The stomach is empty"

"Just wandering here and there"
