Sevenes (സെവൻസ്)

Goal!

Don't try to play football on your father's chest?!

Go, do some productive work

Move off

Shaukath, hit it

Hit it to there

Attention players!

We've come to the end of the final round

for this year's selection of 'Calicut City Strikers'

Requesting all participants to assemble before the selection Committee

Take that paper

Koyaka this paper includes all selected players Check that out!

They seem to think it's a world cup selection

During the game its lemon, soda and glucose

After that it's the usual parotta and mutton chops from Beach Hotel

You bet! lt'll be the same after the selection too

But just check out the attitude Looks like they'll pay us in dollars

Silence! Silence!

We are making some high level decisions here

Anyone who shows indiscipline won't be in the team

I will call out the names now Please step forward

Ashiq Rahman Uday Balakrishnan

Vimal Gopi

Reneesh Ashraf

Sooraj

Shyam

Shaukath

You guys are now part of Team A

Team B's list will be displayed on the office notice board tomorrow

Hey... hey!

What? What are you trying?

Acting funny? Don't try all that with me!

You've selected just 3 of us

What about the other 4? You have to include them too

Selection committee's decision is final No further appeal

But it's our team which won the selection match, isn't it?

Wasn't it filled with fouls?

We've selected 3 of you Play if you want to!

Hey, you better select all 7 of us, or else we don't want your screwed up selection!

It needs more than what you have to be part of this team

...run by 2 eminent Santhosh Trophy players me Usman Bhai and Kanaran

Is it?

Look at these heroes who are responsible for...

...bringing the World cup to India for the 1 st time!

Let's fold our hands in respect then!

- Greetings! - Let's go

SEVENES

- Good morning, sir - Good morning

- You've come pretty early today - Yes

Haven't you purchased anything?

One of the sales girls' mentioned some new stock arrival this week

Was it Gowri?

I noticed you hovering around her

No, it's not like that

- Hey, you better watch out - Why?

She's pretty innocent but her brother is a troublemaker

What kind of problem?

You'll get to know eventually

That's one of the reasons I don't even glance her way even by mistake

- By the way, were you in the Gulf? - You guessed by my perfume, isn't it?!

No way! It's your hair... it's kind of...

It's the other one... I need to catch up with youngsters like you, isn't it?

Sir, you should give me maximum discount?

Consider it done! You go ahead and make your purchase

May I help you, sir?

Thanks... but no thanks I'll help myself

Someone mentioned the other day about new stocks expected this week

Wonder where they are!

It's here Sir, your size is 42, isn't it?

Yes, how do you know that?

You've spent quite some time choosing Please do try these, sir

You really don't have to address me as 'sir', Gowri

Sir, am actually not keen on calling you 'sir'

But our company policy says 'customer is our Lord'!!!

I'll manage You really don't have to...

It's okay, sir This is part of our job, isn't it?

Just because I help you try out shoes it doesn't mean am falling at your feet

I took up this job fully knowing what I was getting into

I'm not that chauvinistic a person to force a lady into helping me with my shoes!

Shall I ask you something?

Is it true that a person's character can be measured by merely looking at his shoes?

Yes, shoes speak volumes of a person's character

Guess that's why women who are not shy too prefer to walk with their heads bowed down

- Do you know all about this slipper-ology!? - Well, a little maybe

In that case why don't you say something about me?

Should I predict looking at these shoes or those shoes?

If you look at those shoes you might misjudge me totally

How can character be judged by looking at shoes?

Anyway, this is something you liked, so pack it

I'm Shyam I don't need to impress anyone

You should come again with your friends I'll give you a good discount

Of course, I'll do that I'll bring a friend tomorrow

Another friend day after and 1 more the next day and so on

This way I'll keep com ing repeatedly

Take it sir

Hey buddy! Your shoes look cool Where did you get these from?

He must have flicked it from some cool guy in a tem ple or church

The shoes are good But I doubt if they suit you well

Get lost!

Okay, tell us where is it from?

It is from a happening shoe store in a shopping mall in the city

The store owner is my friend

Who is this new friend whom we don't know?

He's back from the Gulf

I convinced him to give me a heavy discount!

Hey! I know that's not true!

It's this sales girl Gowri who works at the shoe store

He's been interested in her for quite sometime

And ever since, he has got into this business of buying shoes

Get lost, you m ischief maker!

Her brother is a bloody thug who'd beat up anyone for money

He belongs to Beypore Sridhar's gang

If he ever gets to know this you'll have no feet to wear those shoes

It'll be the end of your love for shoes

Tomorrow is my 3rd pay day

I've told mom not to expect money from me this month

A new pair of shoes! That's in my budget this month

So, for your sake we'll buy it only from her shop

You guys have already started counting your 3rd month salary, is it?

Wait, I'll show you guys once my semester finishes

- I'll be chosen by Microsoft in campus interview for sure - Oh! Is it?

Look at me, a college graduate still waiting for a green signal after my 18th interview

And look at him already dreaming of Microsoft with still 1 unfinished semester

You guys just keep babbling about exams and interviews

If you want to make money you need do some bone-crunching work

Are you talking about that oil-stained job in your dad's workshop?

Are you trying to be sarcastic?

When I count money every evening no one asks me if it smells of oil or diesel

But your dad doesn't allow you to touch the money, right?

That's okay, no problem

At least I don't have to worry about the expenses at home

As far as my expenses go I somehow manage

Oh goodness! Champions league live is on ESPN at 6.30 today

Shyam, what's the time?

Where's your watch, buddy?

It...

You sold your watch to buy those shoes?!

Thank God that girl doesn't work in a jewelry shop

Else he'd have sold his kidneys too

Even if I had to sell myself to gain her love I'd do it

Let's row the boat of our dreams through this birth together

Let's taste the nectar under the same parasol forever

Let's clasp our souls together to unite separating in our dreams never

Let's enjoy the melody from the Veena whose music is so illusive

I will be the bamboo flute which plays the song to match your steps exclusive

What the hell...?

Get into the car!!

- Brother... don't - Leave me

- Come - Leave him

Sooraj!

Let's go

- Where's Ashokan? - Which Ashokan?

The one who is with Beypore Sridharan

- He hasn't come here - Hasn't he come?

Tell him Shyam's friends came here and they destroyed all this

New guys on the block who seem to be targeting Beypore Sridharan

Good!

Haven't seen you around in a long time?

Those shoes are not worn out as yet

I always knew that you weren't com ing here to purchase shoes

Didn't Gowri come back again?

Her brother, that devil came here 6 months ago

He said she will not be working here anymore I believe she lives around Beypore

I had been there too

She was staying in a rented house but she's no longer there now

So you still haven't forgotten her?

If it is true love it will never leave you

Look!

Stop here

Sooraj, look there

How come the FIFA leaders are here in this 'poor man's ground'?

We also grew and played in this ground

We heard you were on a world tour for team selection

How come you are back so soon?

Looks like you gave the players from Liverpool...

...and United Manchester a run for their money

Of course, we visit several places to discover new power- packed talent

Oh I see, then why have you come here?

Don't start pecking like a hen not aware if it is being killed or reared

Oh Koyaka, tell us, what is it?

Yesterday's finals was against 'Kannur Fighters'

Thanks to that devil jersey # 11, Sudhir the game finally ended in a draw

The 3 of you can now play instead of our bruised players

I'm telling you guys only because it's the finals

We don't do anything in half measure

No problem, all 7 of you can play so that the co- ordination is good

You guys have been asking us for quite sometime anyway

So we decided to help you realize your dream

- What do you say, Kanaran? - Very true

Wait! We've not yet confirmed Let's fix the remuneration first

Is it that rem uneration you missed when Strikers did not get selected?

Those who played for our team are the ones who finally represented India

We've heard that story before You guys are the ones who need us now

So tell us what is in for us here?

It is only when the house is burning can you cut the plantain stem, right?

- Okay, tell us your demands - Our demands are not so big

A pair of branded shoes of our choice, a shirt

...and a pair of trousers and 1000 bucks

- Liverpool and Manchester is better than this - No bargaining

If it's 'yes' let's shake hands
