Thank you so much but I think we can handle it from here.

Yeah, but you must be a very good husband

to provide your wife with all these lovely things,

when will she be joining you?

Thank you Mrs. Chetty but I think you need to go home.

A lady in your condition shouldn't be lifting anything.

Ticky come help here man!

Ticky's my oldest.

Must be dong homework.

Hey relax.

It's only me man.

I'm sorry I only speak english.

I speak it to.

Hey, I can talk English I can walk English,

I can even laugh English you bloody fellow.

English is a very funny language sir.

It's the condition and consideration.

The conjunction becomes the injunction

and the injunction becomes annotations.

Frustration and temptation are common to all nations

because conditions become contradictions

and predictions become premonitions,

that's why it results in pollution,

diffusion, destruction, demolition.

Derogation, declaration, degeneration,

definition, deliberation, and decoction.

You know it?

It's easy.

Think Super Star Rajinikanth.

It's from Velaikaren man.

Okay, what's your favorite film.

Film?

Yeah, movie man.

What movie you like?

I don't watch TV.

Who's talking about TV you stupid fellow?

I'm talking big screen.

A place of heroes, Amithabh Bachchan, super star Rajini.

Mithun Chakraborty.

Oh God,.

I'll have to fix you one time.

Hey what's your name?

Harold Singh.

That's your real name?

Yes but my mom used to call me Baboo.

Hey you talk funny, ,

you make me laugh.

Hey Baboo's a much better

name.

You can call me Ticky,.

Oh dear Lord, this was a weeding gift from the church

You are so clumsy, look what you done.

It's not so bad bro, wait I'll

put Jesus in his place, wait.

I must insist you all leave now.

Jesus has suffered more than enough.

Ma'am you to please.

Oh granny I think you have

to leave now, they are waiting for you.

Come, let's go.

Yeah, we waiting for ma.

Please take her.

Don't worry Harold this is only temporary.

As soon as things get better for

the paper up in Johannesburg we'll go right back.

Till then we just have to keep our heads down.

Things can't possible get any worse, right?

These bloody Chetty's, you see Harold the only way to

deal with Indians like these is to be firm and not give in.

Vanakkam.

Namaste.

Top of the evening to you.

Welcome to the Mulberry hood.

It's a place.

Safe, provided you've got the protection.

Which luckily for you we provide

for very small monthly cost.

Who do we need protecting from?

That would be us.

Since you're new and all we'll start

you off with just 50 bucks a month.

That's reasonable no?

What says Size?

Correct.

I don't have any money.

Big like you.

You must have some cash stashed somewhere

here in your nice stuff.

There's nothing.

Trust me if I had I would give it to you.

I don't want any trouble.

That's a good attitude

to have.

What are you doing?

Leave my son alone.

Please, he's just a child.

Look, look I gave my last cent to the movers.

Seeing as I'm a reasonable man

and all I'm prepared to compromise.

But just this once.

I'll out fatso back.

But I'll take what ever I want, what say?

Okay, take what ever you want just don't hurt my son.

No that's mine.

It speaks.

Well laddie blame

He's the one that made the deal.

Take anything else you want from the house, please.

But that bike means a lot to my boy.
