All of you clear out of this place
Can't you hear me? Clear out
Hey! Give me a 'beedi'
Don't go to work but simply keep smoking this 'beedi'
- What about you? - I've got used to it
Same holds good for me
Don't get wet in the rain
Shouldn't eat too many candies, my dear Your teeth will start rotting then
But you chew betel leaf and betel nut
You have these smart retorts as arrows at the tip of your tongue
Hey there Sethu, not seen you for quite a while near our shop
You got busy after being elected the union leader?
'My business is not just here'
'I know that Drink your tea'
You think you're running the union efficiently?
In the name of the union, you prevent recruits from working in the coop
Hey! It's raining cats and dogs today, right?
We finish our work whatever the weather condition may be
As long as the union doesn't put a spoke in our wheel
Hey lazy lout! Don't act smart with me
If you wag your tail to me, Sethu-
I'll burn you alive on top of this thatched roof
Understood?
He thinks he is Mr Know-it-all to advise me
What happened to the coop issue?
I will...I will finish it
You can't finish anything
Muthu rules the roost
He has the coop totally under his control
We should chase him away That's my dearest wish
It can't be done as easily as you think
My dear parakeet, I shall find you a suitable pair very soon, okay?
Mahalingam anna
Have you fed your pet parrot?
What are you waiting for? Why haven't you left?
Only if you leave now you'll reach by tomorrow evening
- Hurry up and go - Fine, I'm going
Go now, da
'Instead of loitering around the foothills, come back soon'
Give up smoking first
Where is Muthu?
MUTHU...!
'Garudan'
What is this booze?
'This looks like the booze we enjoyed the other day'
Pour some for me
- You said you stopped drinking - I said I drink in between stops!
You pour Don't stop
Hello, Sethu
Long time since I saw you this side
What to do?
Only outsiders get the privilege of taking a load downhill
Nothing of that sort
You are saying this with Muthu in your mind
He is capable and so he takes the maximum load
You follow suit too
You listen to me
First preference should be only to union members
Only then to outsiders
Try your fist power with someone else
Muthu transports the load to the foothills in half the time your men take
Even if I'm absent-
Hey Sai, tie it with this rope
If you oppose my union and me
I'll bury you in this coop
Hey come Let's watch them fight
Listen, Sethu
If I booze 2 rounds, load logs 10' long and start my 'Garuda'
...when I take the 7th bend
...you wouldn't have even made it to the 2nd bend
Only because of that capability I'm taking more load than you
If you want to prosper hereafter
...better for you to transport logs or men to the foothills
Don't come this side thinking I'm your rival
If you come, you'll die at the receiving end of my blows
Why bother coming up?
He could've got this treatment at the foothill from our boss, no?
'Your good time, I'm letting you go'
- Hey! No school today? - No
- You should study as well as me - To end up running errands like you?
Sukumar, why is Rajendran sitting in the sun like an old chameleon?
If we throw a stone, he'll run away
Hey 'Gujal' Rajendra You started yesterday from the coop?
Can I fly? I have to drive downhill, right?
Aiyo! Don't say you 'drive' 'Crawl' is a more apt word
Hey! Cut the rope and come
Cut the rope it seems when you cut my booze quota!
Muthu, extra load today?
My Garudan can take any weight
If you go into town, find out when the next load is required
Okay, cut the next load when I inform you
Old lady, did you eat?
Come, I'll buy you lunch
Give just one
Here
- What is this? - Sticker
This statutory warning makes me rush to the loo
Then why be hell bent on smoking?
My lungs should be as strong as Chhota Bheem's!
Only this sticker will be the incentive to smoke
When you lie breathless in a hospital you'll know
Drink your tea, come, we must usher passengers into our jeep
Hankering to make extra money on the sly
- Shankar anna, 2 tea - 2 minutes
'Pongal' and 'vada' What partiality!
We get only tea and 'beedi' when we work our butt out
You downed 2 bottles of booze
That was when I was driving down and it vanished into thin smoke!
You aren't getting enough men to work in the coop, Muthu?
- Do you want to volunteer? - To make a hole in the 'vadas'?
Don't provoke me
- I've kept the cash here, bro - Okay
Sales is really bad
Don't worry, bro It will pick up very soon
Whatever it is
Nothing compares to Mahalingam's talent
He borrows money for interest and somehow manages to make ends meet
But the truth is he is managing only because of you
'I am not exaggerating'
'Bro does a good job of sweet talking'
'Shut up!'
Go and check if the logs have been unloaded?
Enough of drinking tea, go now
