Good Night Good Morning

Synopsis: Good Night Good Morning is a black and white, split-screen, conversation film about two strangers sharing an all-night phone call on New Year's night in New York City. Writer-Director Sudhish Kamath tries to discover good old fashioned love and romance in a technology-driven mobile world as the boy driving from New York to Philadelphia with buddies after a wild night out of drinking, calls the enigmatic girl alone in her hotel after a brief encounter at the bar. An all-night phone call becomes a surreal, dream-like experience especially when the limited validity of the adventure gives you the freedom to be who you want to be. Anonymity could be comforting and such a situation could lead to an unlikely romance. Or something like it.

Now we just have to deal

with the cold and the wind

for the party tonight

at Times Square

High wind warning in

effect till midnight

acting with temperatures below zero.

Senior Correspondent

Stan Brooks says folks

are already camped

out on in Times Square.

It's going to be freezing.

It's going to be jam-packed...

'Out of the Blue' by

Ray Guntrip & Tina May

So I was with her for a long time...

I think she's kissing someone now.

Dude! Shut. Up.

What the...

Yeah?

So, you are not a hooker...

You are not a chick I could

pick up at the bar obviously

because you had

eight sets of guys hit on

you all night and you

still just sat there.

You might have been

five drinks but you spoke

in perfectly beautiful sentences.

You probably did get bored in

your room and came down for a drink.

What does that tell me?

I don't know. But...

My name is Turiya and

guess what? Happy New...

Oh, f off.

Thanks dudes.

Will you look at this guy?

That is sweet.

You know what you

could have just stayed home

if you were going to pass out.

You know what I mean?

Think she's calling now...

Aah, I'm not usually this

creepy but I had a little

bit to drink and then JC introduced

me to the prettiest girl I've seen...

...this year!

I'm flattered. Ummm...

Which one of the eight

sets of guys are you?

I guess the 1.45 bunch

Oh yeah. The two

guys and the dope-head.

Uh... Which one of the two are you?

Oh, I'm the cute one. My

friend's always grumpy.

Kiss my a.

See what I mean.

Hmmm...

How did you get my number?

I'm glad that you called.

Why did you call? I'm glad...

Insomnia. Jet lag.

Quarter-life crisis.

Ah! So you are in need of my

entertainment services then.

Well, considering you

woke me up in the middle

of the night just as I had

fallen asleep, I guess that does

make you responsible

to entertain me...

...Or put me back to sleep.

Oh, you are in luck then

because when I entertain people

they fall right back asleep.

Which is good enough.

So what can I do?

I can play some music. Do you

want to listen or something.

You know I have an

IPOD here and a TV set.

What I really want to hear about is

that bit where you said you saw the

prettiest girl that

you ever seen and I am

going to forget you said this year.

Ah yeah. She was gorgeous,

she had the most

beautiful eyes and she was hot.

What do you mean hot?

Hot... you know, hot.

No, I don't know.

Actually she was just okay...

I mean she was like average...

I am just kidding.

She looked really

beautiful and I am sure if she

just took a little better

care of herself it would be

impossible for anybody to

take their eyes off of her.

What do you mean I

don't take care of myself?

No... I mean...

It's New Year's Eve and there

you were sitting alone swigging

shots of Tequila wearing

an overcoat that screamed

"Leave me alone, I'm boring".

It was written all over you that you

did not want to look pretty tonight.

And what would I wear if

I wanted to look pretty?

What would you wear if

you wanted to look pretty?

Speaker dude, put it on speaker.

What do you have?

Oh! Okay... Let me look.

Ok

I have a dull gold mid-length

sequined dress, a Moroccan tunic,

beige corset, a couple of tees,

jeans and you know G strings.

I am sorry... What?

What?

- What?

Yeah... what is a sequin?

Never mind.

You know what, why

don't you wear a corset?

I think that is body

hugging top sort of thing.

Really?

- Yeah

How long have you seen me?

All of a minute?

Uh... Yeah but you

had my full attention.

Well, I like that.

So how often do you

drunk-dial random strange women?

How often do you call

back random weirdos?

First time.

Ah virgin random weirdo-caller backer.

You haven't answered.

Oh, I am a virgin drunk-dialer.

Well, Mr. Virgin drunk-dialer,

where are you?

Uh... I'm at the l-can't-wait-to

- break-the-ice-with-you stage.

Go on.

So what's your name? You

haven't told me that yet.

Oh, you can call me

anything you like.

I'm yours for the night honey.

In that case, I'm not

telling you my name either.

Turiya. And your

friend's name is HUSSAIN

And the other one said

his name doesn't matter.

That's JC. But wait a second,

I thought you didn't

remember which set of guys we were

Okay, so you were the only set

of guys to hit on me tonight.

Oh! Just one of those nights huh?

No, I mean seriously what is a girl

like you doing alone

on New Year's Eve?

That's lame...

Or it's OK, I guess.

Travelling.

Who travels on New Year's Eve?

Someone who doesn't like New Year's.

Travel to forget about it, huh?

Well, I have to get back in

Mumbai by the 2nd and actually

my connecting flight got late so I

have a stop over for eight hours.

AH! So this is kind of

like a one-night stand, huh?

I thought guys liked

one-night stands.

Not over the phone.

Okay, curious... what would you have

done if I had joined you at the bar?

Spiked your drink.

Just kidding. Just kidding.

Just kidding,

I would have asked you your

name of course. I'm not crazy.

Ok. Let's say my name's Nona.

Nona... What kind of a name is Nona?

Stripper name

What kind of name is TURIYA?

Is that even real?

Yeah, It's the absolute truth.

In what language?

I don't know. You have to

ask Mr. Omprakash about that.

Think I should sue?

He was the one who...

Omprakash?

- That's my Dad.

Daddy

- Daddy

It means the fourth
