Margarita, with a Straw Page #3

---

Sixteen-year-old Ronnie Martin

was killed by the NYPD.

For only one reason.

He was black.

F*** the police!

F*** the police!

These cops are even more dangerous

than the Delhi police!

This is nothing.

Are you from India?

You think all desis are from India.

I didn't mean...

l...I'm sorry...

My mother is from Pakistan.

And my father from Bangladesh.

I've lived in seven countries,

including Madagascar!

Wow.

It's actually quite cool.

That you came out for this.

Usually Indians don't.

I'm Laila.

Khanum.

I'll see you tonight.

Yeah. Cool.

Mom.

Khanum.

This is Aai, my Mom.

Hello Mom.

Hello.

Lailu, why don't you

invite your friend over?

Khanum, come for dinner.

Mom I'd love to.

But I have a paper due tomorrow.

Come over anytime before I leave.

Definitely.

Bye Laila.

Bye.

This way.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Mom.

Hey. How's it going?

Good.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I got held up at lunch.

So. Do you wanna get started?

Yeah.

Okay.

Have you chosen a topic

for the assignment?

I want to talk about

my first relationship.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's this guy Nima...

When I fell in love with him...

...it was like...

...electricity...you know!

Yeah, yeah. I do know yeah.

Yeah.

And the first time he...

...touched me...

You mean you've had sex?

Was that your...girlfriend?

Who?

The girl you were lip locked

with just now.

No. No. She's just a friend.

Wow.

Is kissing in India a big deal?

Well you don't smooch your friends,

that's for sure!

Oh so if I kiss you

I'd have to marry you then?

No.

Hello.

Hi, It's Laila.

I was just wondering

what you are up to?

Yeah that would be great.

Okay.

Bye.

Come inside.

I'm looking for Miles Davis...

Speeches of Spain?

Okay, we should have that.

Give me one second.

May I help you Miss?

I'm okay.

Where are you from?

India.

Wow! Let me show you something

I think you'll really like.

WOW!

How much is it?

Well I can give you 10% off...

so that would make it only 749 dollars...

...which is a really good deal!

I wish...

I'm on a scholarship.

Let me go talk to my manager

and I'll see what I can do for you.

Ask him for...

...50% off!

I don't know if I can do 50%.

But I like you. So I'll see what I can do!

Yeah.

This is my secret haunts.

Close your eyes you will see better.

These are the three concentric circles.

This is a depiction of the world.

It is encircled by a beautiful

naked figure of a woman...

...the sky goddess Nut.

Whose body is bent protectively

over the world.

Relax!

Until now only you have seen me.

Let me see you too.

B*tch!

What?

Dude you are so pretty.

So pretty that I feel like cursing you!

I didn't know you play chess?
