Sure! When have I refused?

But you will have to tell me|whose house you're going to.

So Basanti can take you|to that house.

If I'm not told where|you've got to go...

...how will I stop the tonga?

How will the tonga stop|if I don't stop it?

Who holds the reins?|I do!

And if I...

We've got to go to Thakur|Baldev Singh's place.

Sure! Let's go!|When did I refuse?

You could said as much!

Let's go, Dhanno!

So you see, I had already|lost my parents.

And who had to fend for my aunt|and ply the tonga?

Me, of course.

People ask how a girl like me|can go around plying a tonga.

I have an answer ready|for them.

Dhanno is a mare; and she|can still draw the cart.

So why not Basanti?|Am I right?

So what's wrong? City girls drive|cars... no one says anything to them.

You're a wise man, although|you're from the city.

- What is your name?|- Veeru.

You haven't yet asked me|my name, have you?

What is your name, Basanti?

Oh, shut up! You're always|talking nonsense!

I wasn't talking to you, you know.

But since you have asked me,|let me tell you...

...my name is Basanti.

That's the first time|I've heard the name.

Basanti! What a lovely name!

There's a story|behind my name, too.

Really? Do tell me...!

When I was a little girl...

...a distant relative said...

That's it, Dhanno! Halt!

This is the Thakur's mansion.

Strange! Talking to you guys,|I didn't even realize the distance.

That's right.|We are very talkative.

Here's the 1.50 Rupee|we had settled for.

You're a nice man. I shouldn't be|accepting the money from you.

But what will the horse eat,|if it befriends its food?

- So I will accept the money.|- That's very kind of you.

Let's go, Dhanno!

Wow! She talks so well!

She talks too much!

Let's go. You don't have to|score with every girl you meet.

Come on!

Welcome.

This way, please.

Greetings, Thakur.

You had no problems|getting here, I hope?

Well, not much.

Come in.

Had you dropped a letter, I'd have|sent someone to receive you.

Your stay has been arranged.

Just let me know, if there|is anything you need.

I had promised to pay you 5000|rupees on your arrival here.

You remember your|assignment, don't you?

I want Gabbar.

- I want him alive.|- Of course, remember.

You want Gabbar...|captured alive.

You will have him.

Go and take some rest.|You must be tired.

We'll discuss the rest later.

Follow me.

Please go ahead.|I'll go and fetch the keys.

That safe was|stuffed with riches!

Folks in this village|seem to wear a lot of gold.

So what do you say?

Quite a big house...|and beautiful, too.

- Who else stays in there?|- Your keys.

That is your quarters.

Do call me over, should|you need something.

I can't quite figure this out.
