Le prime 200 righe.
We had an appointment...
If you demonstrate...
enough interest,
if you...
employ the right techniques,
you can read a good chunk of human history in the span of...
sixteen hours,
which otherwise would,
take several months.
Now,
isn't that fascinating, Joseph?
Perhaps, yes.
Perhaps...
But if the journey is more important than the destination,
if...
the joy of reading is...
more important than the knowledge, then...
what is the point, Joseph?
As we've been speaking,
my net worth has grown by 1.3 billion dollars.
Can you imagine?
But that's not what fascinates me. No.
Three billion, five billion, ten billion...
shit's still in the billions.
No.
Do you wanna know what fascinates me?
Then I'm gonna need your complete attention.
Do I have it?
Yes, you do.
Alright, then.
US Postal, express mail.
What the hell is taking him so long?
Maybe he's in the bathroom.
Just give him a minute.
Why would he be in the bathroom?
I don't know. Jerkin' off.
Jerkin' off at six o'clock in the morning!
Chances are very slim.
I'm just saying, let's give him a minute.
It's been a lot of minutes already.
Quiet!
Registered mail.
Please open the door. I need you to sign.
Yeah. I really don't think he heard that.
Yeah, man. But you can't just keep callin' like that.
You gotta act natural.
But I don't think we should keep waiting like this either.
Shut! Up!
Go.
Check the kitchen.
Fuck.
He's not here.
He's not here!
He's not here.
Are you sure you've been watchin' the place?
Yeah. I'm sure. I've been doin' nothin' but watch place the all day.
Except for a brief moment, when BigG was live on Instagram.
Oh! BigG was live on Instagram?
Yeah! It was baaad man!
Nice.
I love it.
Hey, how about fifty G?
Hmm?
This whole deal,
is worth fifty thousand dollars!
That's ten grand for each of us.
Can we please concentrate on what's important here.
Hey! What are we waiting for?
Fuckin' idiot!
Like it's my fault!
Hey, what in the hell took you guys so long to get here anyways?
Yeah, we had a pit stop.
Oh, yo!
Look, what I got.
Congratulations.
Someone sold you a fake Rolex.
Yeah, well...
I gave him fake money too.
Hey, guys.
Come check this out.
Hi.
I called you sometime back...
regarding the gold chain?
Yeah.
Uh...
Here it is.
It's twenty four karat.
I think you guys use eighteen something, right?
They say that,
if all the gold Indian housewives are holding is accounted for,
India will have more gold reserves than the rest of the world combined
or something like that.
But no politician would dare to ask the housewives of their gold,
right?
You get eight hundred.
It's worth two thousand dollars!
At least give me a thousand.
Okay.
I'll give this locket too.
But I'm gonna need thousand dollars total.
Okay.
Thanks. I'll take it back in a week or two.
Hey, man. Got a nice piece of gold here,
would you like to buy it?
That's the last thing I wanna do.
I'm only asking, three hundred dollars.
- Just take a look. - Hey, man. Can you spare five bucks for me?
That's also the last thing I really wanna do right now.
Wait a minute, man.
I'm tryin' to have a conversation here.
You wait a minute. I'm tryin' to have a conversation.
Hey! What's up?
Just driving to work.
You?
Upma
Must be lucky, ah!
You say that for Upma!?
No.
The fact that you get to cook your own breakfast.
Who stopped you?
You lazy bum.
I'm not lazy.
I was up till late last night doing some office work.
So, had to hurry in the morning.
You are just no fun.
How could you work even on Sundays!
Chinnu...
I... I've to tell you something.
But only if you promise you won't get mad.
Yeah...
It's just that...
couple of months back, I made a bad investment.
Not bad as such, but...
it misses a couple of Warren Buffet's rules...
and...
I kinda lost a lot of money.
Uh-huh
The point is...
I've to meet the credit card payment deadline. So..
I pawned my gold chain...
and along with it,
I had to pawn the locket you gifted me. - When?
But nothing to worry,
I'll get them back in a couple of weeks. But...
First, tell me, when did you pawn it?
Just a few minutes back.
Are you out of your mind?
See,
I told you not to get mad.
I will get them back in a few days, okay?
I don't mind you pawning the locket,
but you had to do it today!
No one in their right mind lets go of gold on the day of Akshaya Tritiya!
Oh!
You should be buying gold today,
not letting it go! It's bad luck.
Go and get the gold chain back.
I can't right now.
I'll get it back in a few days.
I'm telling you it's bad luck! Why won't you listen to me?
Bad luck aside, if I don't make the payment today,
I'll have to pay a huge late fees.
I'll get you the money, but get that gold back.
And how are you gonna get me a thousand dollars?
Look,
I just arrived at work.
I'll call you back a bit later
and we'll discuss this further, alright?
Make sure you do.
Yeah. Sure.
Dude,
stop browsing and get to work!
Only after you fix those bugs, right?
Done and dusted.
What? When?
Over the weekend.
Come on. Get ready to test.
Uh... Shyam.
I was looking for you.
I was looking for you, too.
Uh... could you come into my office.
Hey, I've a great news for you.
I not only found the root cause of both the bugs,
but also fixed them,
and they're ready for a full regression testing.
How is that for a Monday?
Yeah, man. That's... that's great.
Why don't you go ahead and check-in the code...
Uhm..
I've to let you go man.
You've to let me go?
What does that mean?
Wait.
What does that mean?
Listen, man.
If it was in my hands...
I wouldn't have...
I'm the only full-stack developer here,
I fix every damn bug,
and I'm working my ass off. Even during the weekends.
