You're in no condition to be a public figure
I'm a public figure
Yes, you're a public figure
I'm a public figure
Yes, Brother Javed
Bhatti Sir has made such an image
I haven't said anything
Okay, there's no need to lie
I don't lie
Okay, enough
Meet the new Vice President
You got the job.
Oh, congratulations.
Thank you.
Give her a new style,
some tuning, show, denting, painting.
Yes, yes, of course. You tell me.
No, no, I will get the hair cut. I will get Iqbal's hair cut.
Okay, if you are ready, sure.
Sure.
I am absolutely ready.
But do ask the girl you want to marry.
Open.
Will you marry me?
Will you marry me, Mishal?
Please say yes.
Mishal, this will be the biggest gift of my life.
So that was most distracting, incidentally.
I liked this basement very much.
I used to sit on it with great interest.
Come on, see this.
I have made your bed, I have kept your water, I have kept your stuff.
If you need anything else, then tell me.
There is no need to be shy, this is your uncle's house.
No sir.
Are you sure?
Okay.
The second thing is that the bathroom is upstairs.
So if you want to go to the bathroom, then go right now.
Because if you wake up at night and go, then you hear the sound of thumping.
So the kids and your aunt get disturbed for no reason.
And you don't have to listen to anyone.
The kids are young and the aunt is old.
So the kids get disturbed at this age.
Don't worry.
Okay.
Okay, do you need anything?
Tell me.
No, I will do it.
Are you sure?
I am sure.
Okay, I will meet you in the morning.
Okay.
Good night.
Hello, John Shed.
Good morning.
Do you want to eat breakfast?
He can make it himself.
Just the ears.
The bread and pans are lying in there.
Where?
In there.
Yeah, we have sausage too.
Oh, I don't...
It's chicken sausage.
Body gets it, don't worry.
It's supposed to be halal.
I'll just have some juice.
Okay.
I'll just have some juice.
John Shed.
Yeah.
Are you a terrorist?
No.
Why?
Well, James' father is a Marine and he said all terrorists come from Pakistan.
Quietly eat your breakfast, Mark.
Do I look like a terrorist?
Well, you have a beard.
Mamu has a beard.
He's not a terrorist.
Who?
Bhatti, your father.
He's not our father.
He's our stepfather.
Tim's here.
I've got to run.
Mark, finish your breakfast and go wait in your room for your bus to get here.
Why can't I sit here?
I'm telling you to go wait in your room.
Hello.
Yes, Aliyah.
Where are you?
I'm just leaving Mrs. Iqbal's house.
Why?
You come to the parlor.
Why?
I don't have any other appointment.
No, actually someone has come to meet you and they're waiting for you outside,
so can you please come quickly?
Okay.
I'll come.
This is Farhan's phone for you.
Rizwan's?
No, not Rizwani.
Farhan.
The one from the meat shop.
Okay.
I'll come.
Did anyone else call for me?
No, no one else called.
I haven't been here for a couple of days.
Did Rizwan come to the restaurant?
No, Mr. Rizwan.
He hasn't been here for a long time.
Do you do this job at the parlor or do you do it at other people's houses?
I've been waiting for so long from there.
Aunty.
Yes?
I've been sitting there for 45 minutes.
I went to a client's house for an appointment.
I told you not to go home and get an appointment.
And yes,
we were out of the house for a few days and you left paying all the bills.
It's not like that.
I've paid all the bills.
Where did you get it from?
Look, the house lease letter was lying there.
Okay.
That's a different story.
I'll get the money at the end of this week,
that's why I didn't deposit it right now.
If it's about the house lease,
then you shouldn't deposit the money.
Anyway, leave it.
I'm going.
I'll take Iman along the way.
No, Iman has a basketball match today.
I'll pick her after work.
Oh wow.
Is she a white girl who jumps around in front of strangers?
Let her stay Pakistani.
Okay.
Iman,
are you ready?
What happened?
Nothing.
Iman,
what happened?
Grandma says I can't go to dance class.
When did she say that?
Right now.
And why?
Because decent girls don't dance.
No, no, no, no, no.
Listen, two weeks previous, I paid this.
Iman, they're saying that...
The balance is still the same.
Look.
How possible?
I don't know if you paid it or you don't pay it.
No, no, I paid.
I swear, I paid.
Uncle,
Nami sent these presents.
This is for Mark.
Cool.
Sweater.
Oh wow, wow, wow.
And this is for Isabella.
Mashallah, mashallah.
And Nami...
She will love it.
Yeah.
What is it?
It's a shawl.
A shawl.
Sir, shawl.
You can wear it in winter.
For the cold.
Oh, okay. Thanks.
Listen, I don't think the kids are going to wear either of these things.
No, no.
The kids will love it.
What's it called?
English.
They like it.
Look.
Alright, whatever.
I've got to go out for lunch.
And I want you to take care of the laundry.
No, no.
How can I do the laundry?
Look, Imran, that's not my problem.
Just take care of it.
What can he...
Listen...
Look, here.
Jamshed's not doing anything.
He's just here.
Make use of him.
Have him do the laundry.
I've got to go.
By the way...
It's between us.
She's not okay.
You'll also find out where our laundry is.
What did you say to Iman?
Why?
How many times have I told you not to talk to him like that?
Why shouldn't I?
She's a girl.
That's why you should tell her everything.
What's right and wrong.
Have you seen her age?
And who will decide what's right and wrong?
I'm saying this because I've seen her age.
What's wrong in dance classes?
She's learning classical dance.
Tell me what's wrong.
Hey...
Are you going to make her a dancer?
Tahir...
Think before you speak.
I'm talking after thinking.
I can see your ability to think.
What have I done?
Who did you ask to get her into a dance class?
There are other girls of her age in that dance class.
She's not alone.
She's a girl from a Pakistani family.
Do you understand?
And all of this is not suitable for us.
Okay.
And Shahroof and Zehra?
Their daughters who are in that class?
Hey...
What do we have to do with their daughters?
And we can't reach the one who has the rights to be a dancer.
What kind of a dance have they done?
Yes...
You enjoy your work.
You have to answer me.
The work I enjoy...
It supports the whole house.
Enough.
Let it be.
Iman will go to dance classes at any cost.
And I will book the next classes.
Hey...
But it's not up to me.
No.
It's not about you and me.
It's about Iman's happiness.
And his happiness is the most important for me.
Come on, let's get ready.
Jamshed...
This is the laundry.
Go and wash your clothes.
I didn't go to the laundry before.
When I came from Pakistan...
I didn't know anything.
Then I learned everything along with time.
I don't want to learn anything.
I want to work and not do laundry.
What's the harm in washing your dirty clothes?
Go and wash them.
But when you have your own taxi company...
then what's the problem in driving my taxi?
I told you that everything will be done.
Just be patient.
Drive a taxi too.
I have brought international license, uncle.
You can't drive a car on that license.
Why don't you understand?
Go and wash your clothes.
Before your mother gets sick and keeps the money.
Eat something.
Take a walk and then come home.
Shall I go?
This is the first time I've come to do laundry.
I can do two things in Pakistan.
Is everything fine with Michelle?
She didn't take the ring.
Oh.
Hello.
I'm Jamshed.
I met you outside your restaurant that day.
Okay.
You thought I complained about the salt.
The food at your restaurant is very good.
You can have it if you want.
Thank you.
The food at your restaurant is very good.
Thank you.
This is the first time I've come to do laundry.
I can do two things in Pakistan.
Thank you.
Hello.
Hello brother.
This is Tania.
Where are you?
I've been calling you for the past five days.
Why aren't you picking up your phone?
No.
I'm fine.
I wasn't feeling well for the past few days.
Then why is your phone switched off?
Mom is also worried.
She especially called me to find out about you.
I swear if you hadn't picked up your phone today, I would have called the cops.
No.
There is no need for that Tania.
Is everything okay?
I'm telling you that I'm fine.
Why?
Is everything okay with Michelle?
She didn't pick up her phone.
Oh.
Yes.
You were right.
I'm just her friend.
But did she say anything?
It would have been better if she said something.
She just left without saying anything.
Then how can you understand that she rejected your proposal?
Maybe she was surprised and reacted this way.
Tania, please.
There is no need for my rejection to be portrayed so sweetly.
I can even close my eyes and read Michelle's face.
And whatever is on her face…
Anyways,
now I understand why people say,
never fall in love with your best friend.
If you want, I can come to New York.
No, no, no.
There is no need for that.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
Okay, please do call mom.
She is really worried.
What if she goes to New York?
Yes, I will.
And Tania,
please don't mention this to anyone.
Of course, brother.
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Are you serious?
Yes.
She tells me that no Pakistani girl dances.
I mean, what age does she live in?
And look at that girl's age.
This is what I told her.
I mean, we are living in 2014
and I don't know what age she is stuck in.
And now Pakistan is not the same as she thinks, by the way.
What can I say?
I don't know.
I don't know what she thinks, by the way.
What can I say?
No, you had to ask her,
what do you think should be done with that girl?
Should we get her out of school and lock her up in the home?
And when she grows up, then we will get her married,
and then we will have children,
and then she will become a complete Pakistani, right?
And then aunt will be happy and all her relatives will be happy.
Leave it now.
No, I'm sorry.
I mean, my blood pressure goes high after hearing all this.
And I don't know how you live with them.
Hello.
Yes.
Oh no.
Okay fine, I'll be there.
I'll be there, okay.
Bye.
What happened?
Eman's dance class got delayed for an hour and a half.
I have to go and pick her up.
I don't have an appointment, right?
No, but will you pick her up and take her home?
No, no.
I can't take her home because of the dance class.
But what will you do for an hour and a half?
We'll do something.
It's New York, time will be up easily.
Okay, I'll go then.
Hello.
How are you?
What's up, Jamshed? Where are you?
I'm fine, you tell me.
You forgot to come to America.
And tell me, where are you?
I'm in New York.
Where are you?
I'm in New York.
Where are you?
I'm in New York.
Where are you?
I'm in New York.
Where are you?
I'm in New York.
Tell me, how did you like America?
You must have gotten used to it in a couple of months.
This happens only in films.
Yes, you're going to tell us the same thing.
Anyway, tell me how uncle Imran is?
How did you like his set up?
My government job is fixed.
You haven't done anything yet.
Why? Didn't uncle Imran get you a taxi or something?
No.
Anyway, you tell me.
How's grandma? Did she go home?
Yes, she went a week ago.
She was fine.
She keeps thinking about you.
If you have a phone call, call her.
Yes, I will.
And call Asma as well.
She also keeps asking about you.
Hmm.
Give me your phone number. I'll give it to her.
I don't have the number right now.
But anyways, I'll call her myself.
Yes, you call her.
I think she's having some tension at home.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Hello.
Yes, who is it?
You forgot my voice so soon?
I haven't forgotten it.
I haven't gotten used to it because I heard it after so many days.
Oh.
Such an emotional dialogue.
And what was your connection with emotions?
Anyways, how are you?
I'm fine. How are you?
How did you like America?
Is it the same as you thought it to be or is it better?
Are you kidding?
I don't know.
How did your exams go?
Fine.
What else is going on?
I'm where you left me.
You're still on the roof?
Yes.
I go there every night hoping that one day you'll be standing there.
I'll come.
Let me settle down once.
Did you get a job?
I'm looking for one.
See what happens.
I have two or three proposals.
One of them belongs to my uncle's son.
Did you see?
This is why I used to go.
Once I complete my degree, everyone will follow me.
Are you happy about this?
No, I didn't mean it.
Jamshed, should I say something?
You won't mind, will you?
No, say it.
Look, I know that you didn't get a job,
nor are you settled there.
But is it possible that you talk to grandma and send her to my home?
Because I won't be able to leave my family for long.
Fine,
I'll talk to grandma.
My card is about to run out, I'll call you later.
I'll call you later.
But give me your number, I'll call you.
I don't have the number right now.
Hello?
Shall we go back home?
What if grandma doesn't let us go out for dance class again?
No.
I'm just kidding.
What do we do then?
No.
Let's go to the park.
Before that, donuts.
Donuts, okay.
Salma ji?
Hello, Salma ji.
Take a deep breath.
Yes, that's it.
I'm exhausted, Salma ji.
I'm exhausted.
I don't know how many kilometers I ran before.
Your daughter?
Yes.
Hello, princess.
Hello.
Yes.
When the passenger came, I saw you from there.
I was like, where?
It was Imaan's dance class, it got delayed.
So we thought we'll roam around here.
Who is he?
He is...
Uncle Pati's son.
Uncle Pati.
Yes.
Very beautiful name.
Thanks.
What else is happening?
Right now, we are getting killed for an hour and a half.
Really?
So I just dropped the client here.
He said he has a meeting for two hours.
So I said, no problem.
I'll wait.
So it's good that you guys met.
Will you give me company?
No, no.
There is no need for that.
We were going to the park anyway.
Then come.
I'll drop you guys there.
Why would you bother?
Why bother?
The client has already paid the money.
We had to sit in the car and waste two hours.
So let's go.
I mean, I also sat in the car for two hours and listened to Lala Isha Khelwi's CD.
So it's good that you guys are with us.
The time will end soon.
Come, come.
Come, come, come.
What can I say?
I swear.
If I didn't care about religion, I would have married Mr. Bhatti and been sitting here like Taj Mahal.
You know, I have two tickets today.
That too on 5th Avenue.
Hello brother Javed.
Yes, how are you?
I'm fine.
You?
Hello.
What happened?
Nothing.
I just wanted to say that I'm going to the park.
I'll drop you guys there.
Okay.
I'll come.
Okay.
I'll drop you there.
Okay.
I'll come.
Okay.
I'll come.
What happened?
Nothing.
Is everything okay?
Yes, yes.
Nothing.
Why don't you tell us?
Tell us.
So that he also knows the reality of our country.
Leave it.
What happened?
I didn't extend my visa.
I'll have to go back to India in two weeks.
Then apply for a visa from India and come back.
And do you think the Americans will give me a visa again so easily?
Look at the record of the last ten years.
There was no such thing that I had a problem with applying for a visa.
Yes.
I just made one mistake.
I didn't marry an American girl.
Otherwise, you would have seen how they would have thrown me out.
The more you talk like this, the more tension you'll have.
What should I do, Javed?
What will I do after going back to India?
I have five small children.
I'll raise them in the village of Kirala.
I'll do farming and educate them.
Should I tell them?
What should I say now?
I swear, sir.
If I didn't care about religion,
I would have married Mr. Bhatti and come to Taj Masjid.
Where are you taking your father now?
I'm telling you the truth.
Even the pistachios are people like us.
You come with me.
You keep talking whatever you want.
Please excuse me on behalf of the Chicago people.
No, actually, I will send them an email personally.
I will see you at work.
Bye.
It was so much fun.
I was hungry.
Give me my child.
I got two doughnuts.
Here you go.
Mr. Bhatti, he just finished it.
It's okay.
He's a growing child.
Let him eat.
Eat.
Iman, did you ask for another one?
Just one.
I'm not asking for anything else.
I'm asking for you.
Did you ask for another one?
Just one more.
Mr. Bhatti, he doesn't have the permission to eat so much sweets.
If your teeth fall off, then you'll be a mother.
Ms. Salma, these teeth don't have to be intact.
Even mother's teeth fell off.
I got them fixed.
Eat my child.
Eat, eat, eat.
That's really bad.
How much was this?
It's worth one lakh dollars.
What are you talking about?
I'm Bhatti.
Now that I'm Bhatti, will I take money from her for the doughnut?
What are you saying?
You tell me, should I get it for you?
No.
No, thank you.
Okay.
You eat my child.
Ma'am, I'll be right back.
I'm going by the water.
Be careful, my child.
This water is very muddy.
Very cute.
You have a very cute child.
Very cute.
Thank you.
Can I ask you something?
Yes, yes, in the name of God.
When I speak Urdu, why do you speak so much English?
Why, Ms. Salma, do I speak bad English?
Look, Ms. Salma,
this English that I speak,
I've learned it by saying wrong things for the past 14-15 years.
At some point or the other, my English will get better.
What difference does it make?
I'll have to appreciate your passion.
Ms. Salma, it's not passion, it's stubbornness.
It's courage, Ms. Salma.
It's the courage of the listeners that they're listening.
I just say whatever comes to my mind.
By the way,
I must say,
you have a mesmerizing smile.
What?
Yes.
It was cute till now, but
mesmerizing,
you've started speaking English very heavy-duty, Mr. Bhatti.
Ms. Salma, I don't have my own words.
This is what Cathy was saying.
I like the words.
The words that I like,
they automatically get stuck in my tongue.
So I said, it's an opportunity, use it.
How's Cathy?
She's fine, by the grace of God.
You two have reconciled?
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
What about the lawyer issue?
What?
Oh,
these are minor issues.
It's going on right now.
It'll get better with time.
By the grace of God.
So what do we do, brother?
Mom, it's five.
It's five?
Let's go then.
I'll be late for class again.
No, no, no.
Let's go, my child, I'll drop you.
No, it'll take longer in the car.
It's just two blocks away.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
Okay.
Let's go.
Thanks.
Okay, my child.
And let me tell you,
I know what you Pakistani men are like.
No, I don't smoke, I'm telling you.
Listen to me.
Get out of my house.
Hello.
Hi.
Why?
Didn't you expect me to call you?
No,
I was expecting it for a long time,
but I didn't know if you would call or not.
That means I gave you a surprise.
Anyway, I did that last time as well.
Hmm.
You could have called as well.
Yes, I…
So I…
I didn't know what to say after calling you.
Maybe.
Look, Michelle,
neither we have such age nor such friendship
that we have to think so much to say something to each other.
Maybe you're right,
but I didn't understand what to say.
No,
you could have said it.
Anyway,
we'll talk when we meet, okay?
Then do it now.
What do you mean?
Open the door.
He's standing outside.
Hello.
Hello, can I speak to Isabella?
Who's this?
This is Sandra.
She's not around at the moment.
I'll go and look for her, okay?
Hold on.
Isabella?
Mark?
Hey.
Holy, what the hell are you doing in here?
How did you get in my room?
No, there's a phone for you.
Stop making excuses.
Mom!
Are you shouting, Izzy?
I'm telling you there's a phone call for you.
Wait, what is going on in here?
And why are you shouting?
What are you doing in her room?
I just…
There was a phone for her,
so I came to tell her the door was open.
I knocked.
He's lying.
I never heard him call my name.
How dare you come into her room?
No, I'm telling you.
There's a phone call for her,
and I called her name,
and then I came and knocked,
and the door was open.
I swear, mommy, I knocked.
Don't call me that.
And why do I smell smoke in here?
He was smoking.
He threw it out the window.
What?
I don't smoke.
Get out before I call 911.
And let me tell you,
I know what you Pakistani men are like.
No, I don't smoke.
I'm telling you.
Listen to me.
Get out of my house.
Stay outside till Imran comes back.
I'm locking the door.
Get out!
Relax, please.
I can't damn well relax.
He walked into my daughter's room.
He went to call for a phone.
That is such crap, Imran.
And who gave him permission to do that?
Do you know if I hadn't heard her scream
and if I hadn't come in,
God knows what would have happened.
Come on, man.
He's my nephew.
Yeah, before that,
he's a desi man,
and you know how you all are.
You come to America,
you're frustrated,
you want to...
I don't know.
No, no, no.
Are you telling me
he went to her room
just to see where she is?
Yeah, and you're going to believe
the fact that he doesn't smoke either.
Okay, come on.
You know what, Imran?
I want him.
I want his luggage,
I want him,
and I want him out of my house tonight.
Where will he go?
I don't give a shit.
If you don't get him out of my house,
I am going to get a restraining order,
and after that,
I'm going to deport him.
No, no, no.
Not fair.
You go to hell.
Gaiti.
What do you think, man?
He's such an uncle.
He can't keep him at home
or get him a job.
Huh?
No, uncle.
I don't think so.
I swear, I didn't do anything.
I know.
I don't even smoke.
I know who smokes and who doesn't.
What did aunty say?
She's gone mad.
Where do I have to go?
Don't worry, uncle.
I'll do something.
Damn it, man.
I'm fed up with you.
Don't worry, uncle.
How can I not worry?
I have only one nephew.
That illiterate woman doesn't understand this.
Fine, I made a mistake.
Get lost and forgive me.
If you forgive me,
then end the matter.
But no.
There is no forgiveness for a mistake with this skin.
What do you think, man?
He's such an uncle.
He can't keep him at home
or get him a job.
Huh?
No, uncle.
I don't think so.
What was the need for me to go to his room?
He could have turned it off.
It was a phone. It was ringing.
He could have let it ring.
You too…
Sorry.
I can't even kill you.
You look like your mother.
Huh?
I think I'll have to do something myself, uncle.
Besides, I…
I've found out that you don't have a partnership with a taxi company.
You don't?
If a person gets rejected and proposed for the first time in 18 years,
then logically,
one should be depressed about it.
Uh…
has Jamshed come to your side?
Jamshed?
No, Jamshed is on your side.
I don't even know what America is.
He has taken away all of my loved ones.
And aunty?
Uh…
Hello, aunty.
Hello.
You?
Actually, yesterday,
I got a very weird call for you.
Who was it?
I didn't tell you his name,
but he was saying very weird things.
My only sister.
No, my only dead sister.
Only child.
You threw him out last night?
I don't know where he's…
