Four Years Later

There's something you need to know.

Yes? Where are you?

You said we'd chat after your exam, no?

I hope everything's OK.

I've already started packing.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER)

Has he called you? I don't think so.

There you are. Everybody's been waiting to talk to you.

Sorry.

How did it go?

- Actually... Yash?

He's on now! Yes.

Namaste, Papa.

We miss you. You haven't called in ages.

- Baby sister. - Hi.

So, tell us, how are you?

Good. Everything is good, Papa.

- And the exam? - You're looking so sharp.

Did you pass it, son?

- (STAMMERS) I did. - (ALL EXCLAIM AND LAUGH)

- Congrats, bro. - Yeah, you rock, brother.

You did it, my love.

Oh, my God, I can't wait to see you. I'll be there so soon.

Sri...

I have to go straight to advanced training now.

Things are only going to get harder.

I'll be moving around too.

So I'll just move with you.

I think I need a little more time.

Good idea, son. Do that, no distractions.

How much time do you need?

Yash?

I don't know. - Take your time. We support you.

No, I don't. You said two years.

Yash, I married you, not your family.

Hey, don't talk like that.

Yash?!

Just give me some time. I'm trying to figure it all out.

How much longer do you need?

A month, a year?

Maybe.

Did you put him up to all this?

- Stop acting like a brat. - Please.

He's there working night and day to provide for you.

He's doing all this for you!

All you do is sit here and complain.

What else can I do? You've stopped me from working.

You don't let me go meet my friends.

And now you are keeping me away from Yash!

Did you hear him?

He doesn't want you there.

Hi.

Yash is a good man.

You should give him the benefit of the doubt.

She's been doing that for two years.

And we've hardly seen you.

The Sridevi I know would never ditch her friends for a guy.

It's her husband, and it's not his fault. It's Prem's.

I don't see Yash helping.

Yeah, but we don't know what's it like for him over there.

He's probably having a tough time.

More tequila.

Just be careful, OK?

What do you mean by "be careful"?

We hear these stories about husbands going abroad.

Their wives stay behind, trapped as a slave to their parents.

These dudes never really loved the women.

Please ignore her.

Where have you been?

I don't need to tell you that.

I just went out to meet some friends and...

I had too much to drink, so I just thought I'd stay out,

and I didn't... I didn't want to disturb anybody,

so I didn't want to wake... (GASPS)

Does my family know?

About the guy?

Hmm.

I didn't tell anyone.

I was so angry and confused.

And I thought that you were trying to keep me away from you.

And I was just feeling so trapped with your family.

Trapped?

Yash, it was a really shit time.

I didn't even know that if I'd ever come here or not.

So, you go and fuck a stranger?

I'm not justifying it.

Sounds like you are.

I made a mistake.

- So did you. Don't forget... - Get out of my house.

- Yash... - Get out!

Yash, I know you don't mean...

You think I wasn't lonely?

Sri, you have every right to be upset with me.

I need more time to set us up for our future.

Call me back... please?

Yash?

I didn't know where else to go.

Come in.

Holy shit. Are you stalking me?

Hey. No, I'm just getting a drink.

OK, well, come, I get freebies. Come on, come with me.

- No, thank you. - No, come on.

Come and have one drink. Have one drink with me.

- Come on. - No, I don't want it.

Oh, my God. Fuck. Sorry.

It's not you, it's just that...

I had a really bad fight with husband and...

- Oh, OK. - Sorry.

No, that's, um... that's rough.

Dude, um...

are you sure that maybe you don't want, like, a...

just have, like, a little bit of a free drink?

Because free stuff is so great.

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe I actually do want a drink.

Yeah, I think so. This is not a drink. I don't understand.

Come on. Excuse me. Coming through, coming through.

Another old-fashioned, thank you, Dave.
