(Low conversation)
:12:07
You should have seen Mrs Lamba's face.
:12:10
Balraj didn't dance with any other girl all night.
:12:14
I knew he wouldn't be able to resist
my pretty Jaya's charms.

:12:17
Mama.
:12:18
Or yours, I'm sure.
:12:20
Just imagine - if Jaya went to live in UK,
we could visit her any time.

:12:25
I would hate to have my daughters so far away.
:12:27
But we have so many.
One or two can go abroad.

:12:30
They'll earn more. God knows they need to,
:12:32
because we can't afford to give them
all decent dowries.

:12:35
Perhaps we should have drowned some
at the time of their birth.

:12:38
We wouldn't have had these problems
if we had gone to US.

:12:41
Did I tell you about this fellow
who went to America and made it rich?

:12:44
My brother did all the paperwork to sponsor us
but you didn't want to leave.

:12:47
This fellow went to America
and bought a huge American house

:12:50
and built three swimming pools.
:12:52
Now he owns three Subway franchises
in New Jersey.

:12:54
And what do we have?
:12:56
An old house, an old farm, and new bills.
:13:00
So when his father visited from India,
he showed him around his mansion

:13:03
and three swimming pools.
:13:05
His father asked,
"But, son, why do you need three pools?"

:13:08
So he said proudly, "Well, one is filled
with cold water for when I feel hot.

:13:12
The second is filled with hot water
when I feel cold. "

:13:14
The father nodded and said,
"But why is the third pool empty?"

:13:17
He said, "Well, that's when
I don't feel like swimming at all. "

:13:21
(Daughters laugh)
:13:23
Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha.
:13:28
Listen, Balraj, if you really wanna get married,
:13:31
hook up with an Indian girl from England,
or even America.

:13:35
You'd have something in common.
:13:36
Look, I didn't have any problems
talking with Jaya, did I?

:13:39
She's intelligent, she's beautiful.
:13:43
Come on, Bal.
:13:44
Look around you.
:13:46
You said it yourself, man.
:13:48
We're in Hicksville India.
:13:51
Then why did I see you eyeing up Lalita?
:13:59
She's beautiful, yeah, but...
