Ma'am. Yes. For you. Yes. He's crazy. How is this sketch? - No that good. This one's better. Sir. That's okay. But this one, this is what I don't like. Make this proper. I'll do that. The color scheme's okay. Okay. But look at this one, here, this one.. Rahul, you said that girl would come at 1 :00pm.. It's already 4:00pm. I don't think she'll come. So what should I do? So if she doesn't come, won't we do our play? I was only.. - Go and get on with your own thing. Go. - Okay, relax. What happened? - Please, don't disturb me. Quiet, quiet everybody. Ballu, spotlight on the entrance. Hi.
- Hi. Rahul. You must've heard of me? Cut it. No, no. No, Pooja. No. No, Pooja. You're not putting your heart into it. You are concentrating more on the steps and music. I don't want to see how well you dance. I have already seen that, and you are very good. I want to see whether you are Maya or not. I want to see the zenith of Maya's love and passion. I want to see what happens when Maya pours her heart out. Right? Okay. We'll try it once more. All right, music. Cut it! Why don't you understand what I'm trying to tell you? Forget that there's anyone sitting here. Forget that there's music playing. Forget that this is a rehearsal. Just think of Maya. God knows where you're lost. I've cried myself hoarse that I don't want to see your dance. I don't want to see you dance. I want to see your madness! Maya's madness..
I'm sorry, Pooja. - Don't touch me. I'm really sorry, Pooja. I was just.. Never in my life has anyone yelled at me like that. I know, Pooja. I'm an idiot. I don't know how to talk to girls. I told you I can't do it. But you're doing it really well. It's just that I'm going on about Maya. I don't understand this Maya. - Never mind.. I don't want to do this. - Don't worry if you don't understand. We don't have to do this today. We can do it tomorrow. Okay? I don't want to do it tomorrow either. I'm not doing this. - Okay. Maya, relax. - My name is Pooja. Of course, it's Pooja. I'm sorry. Sit down, please. Sit I'm really sorry, Pooja. Don't dance if you don't want to.. ..but please stop crying.
Don't want water? No problem. You see Pooja, it's a habit with me to yell during rehearsals. I wasn't having a go at you. I was only trying to explain to you about Maya that's all. Pooja, maybe you just don't understand Maya. Maya is the kind of girl.. ..who lives in a dream world. She believes that one day her dream prince will come.. ..and carry her away. Her friends have always made fun of her.. ..but that did not shake her belief. And today, she has met the man of her dreams.. ..and she's dancing. There is love in her dance.. There's mad passion and arrogance. As if to say, "I knew he would come.." "..and now, see, he has come." "My dream man has come." Music. Wow, wonderful. - Brilliant. - Brilliant. - Thank you. It was nice. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Nisha, I can't believe we got such a good girl so quickly! Had I not got the right girl for this role.. ..I'd have cancelled the play.. ..given back the money, and willingly faced the music.
But I was destined to meet Pooja. Her name is Pooja? - No, it's Jeetendra. Of course it's Pooja. Is she beautiful? - Really beautiful. Remember how I described Maya? She's just like her. That innocent face, those dreamy eyes and that bashfulness. She is too good, Nisha. She's brilliant. Yes. Is she a good dancer? When she dances, you can't take your eyes off her. I know that you will go crazy when you see her. I see. - Yes. But can she act? But of course, she can. If she can't act, what am I for? If I can get you to act I can get anyone to act. Very funny. There's no water, no soft drink and you've called me for dinner. Wait a minute, and I'll get something to drink. Rahul. Is she as good a dancer as mc? Are you crazy? There's no dancer as good as you. Right. - Right.
Idiot. Can't even lie properly. There go your pants. The stitches gave away. Hey Shruti, get my bag. - Relax. Let's go! -Okay, we'll push off now. See you tomorrow.. Bye.. - See you tomorrow. May I say something, Pooja? - What? When you smile.. - I know, I look good. Then? When you laugh, it rains. Give it back. "With the gait of a horse, with the majesty of an elephant." "Oh, king of the rains, where do you come from?" "With the gait of a horse, with the majesty of an elephant." "Oh, king of the rains, where do you come from?" "l know a girl, when she smiles.." "l know a girl, when she smiles, the rains come pouring down." "l know a boy, when he sings.." "l know a boy, when he sings, the rain clouds mask the sky." "l know a boy, when he sings, the rain clouds mask the sky." "The clouds have descended.." "They stand in our path." "Tell us what your intentions are, oh clouds."
"Won't you let us go home?" "There's rain ahead, a storm behind." "The weather is treacherous. Oh, where can we go?" "l know a girl, when she smiles, the rains come pouring down." "l know a boy, when he sings, the rain clouds mask the sky." "The heavy sky stoops low with clouds." "Everything has come to a standstill." "How lovely is this season." "Take the sign of the rains." "in such a weather, say something.." "..do something. Why do you stand silent?" "With the gait of a horse, with the majesty of an elephant." "Oh king of the rains, where do you come from?" "With the gait of a horse, with the majesty of an elephant." "Oh king of the rains, where do you come from?" "l know a girl, when she smiles, the rains come pouring down." "l know a boy, when he sings, the rain clouds mask the sky." The doctor has said clearly that you can't go out of the house. There's no need for you to strain yourself trying to get up. Now get into your bed, and rest. Who are you calling now? Rahul. - Oh yes, he called.. ..to say that he's at Soni's house. At Soni's? Oh yes, Soni and Jimmy are getting engaged today. Aunt, get my clothes out quickly. I want to go there.
I'll just come. Look, I'll call the doctor. - Aunt, please! She just won't listen. "The girl is beautiful.." "The boy looks morose.." "The two don't match.." "The two don't match.." "They don't make a good pair.." I'll not give this to you. I hate these weddings. I don't understand why people get married. If two people have decided to spend their whole lives together.. ..why are the others making such a fuss? Why are they all getting excited? These days it has become a fashion.. ..to have seven days long wedding celebrations. Give me a break. Get married, have a quiet ceremony, and then go home and sleep. I've even come to hate the word 'marriage'. Excuse me, may I have another one? But the one good thing is that in all this fuss.. ..you get lots of goodies to eat. Thank you. Have you eaten? Later. - Let's sit. I really love weddings. The small rituals, dancing, singing, and making merry.. ..I love every bit of it. - Very good.
I'm going to have all of them at my wedding. Are you getting married? Yes. I mean, you never mentioned it. When are you going to do it? Actually, nothing is fixed yet. He works abroad. When he comes back.. ..we'll fix a date when we've found an auspicious time. That's why I haven't mentioned this to anyone. I see. Congratulations. Thanks. Rahul, when are you getting married to Nisha? Nisha and me? Are you crazy? The two of us are just good friends. There's no chance of us ever getting married.. ..and in any case marriage and me, no thank you. Actually, I don't believe at all in the institution of marriage. I don't know how two people decide.. ..to spend their whole life with each other. I fail to understand and I'm certain.. ..there can't be a girl who could spend her whole life with me! You're mistaken. There is one such girl. Where is she? - Somewhere or the other. Rubbish. I've always believed that God made all relationships of the heart.
But then He left it to us to find each other. He created all of us in pairs. For every one of us there is a soul-mate. You just have to wait till you meet her. Do you think that's true? At least in my life, that's the ultimate truth. True. That means that you've found your soul mate. Yes. I've found him. I found my soul mate. Something is amiss. - What? The dessert is amazing. Have some. - No. Okay. I don't know where he keeps it.. ..Nisha! When were you discharged from the hospital? - Hey, Ballu. I ran away from hospital. - Great. Jimmy and Soni will be delighted to see you. Where are they? - They are sitting in the lawn, go and meet them. Rahul is there, isn't he? - Rahul's gone to drop Pooja home. Ballu. - Coming.
You go ahead. "He has come, he has come with a sword.." Pooja. Thanks. See you tomorrow. Pooja. - What? It's that story you told me at Soni's. That some special girl is made for me..etc, etc.. I've been thinking about that. I don't get something. - What? How would I know who's made for me? You have so much faith in this theory. I'm sure you know how I'm going to meet this girl. I mean, will she be holding a placard with my name on it? Or, when I see her would there be a clap of thunder.. ..and a bolt of lightning? Would music start playing? What would happen? He will tell you. He will give just one sign.. ..and your heart would recognize the girl. I've tried reasoning with her.. but she just wouldn't listen. She does what she wants. - Hi, Doctor. Doctor. - Rahul, good you came. I'm fed up with this girl.
- Why? What happened? I told her clearly that she needs to stay at home to rest. But look at her, she's packing her bags to go somewhere. Where to? - How would I know? I've tried my best to explain. - She doesn't listen to me. You're the only one who could convince her. Don't worry, she won't go anywhere. I'll go in and take her to task right away. Okay? - Best of luck. - Okay, see you. - Bye Nisha. What are you doing, Nisha? Are you nuts? The doctor told you to rest, right? By the way, where are you off to? I'm going to London. - London? Well, Mum and Dad keep calling me.. ..and it's been months since I met them. I thought I'd visit them. Besides, I want to run away from here. Want to run away? From whom? From myself. - What's all this nonsense, Nisha?
I've begun to get scared of myself, Rahul. I want to leave.. ..so that I can avoid doing things like the one I did yesterday. Nisha, you haven't done anything of the sort. You were just dancing. Look here.. - Rahul.. ..now we should stop evading the truth. We both know what the problem is. What's the problem? The problem is that.. ..I love you, and you don't love me. Look here, Nisha.. - I know.. ..that you know how much I love you. That night I wasn't sizzled enough.. ..to not hear what my heart was saying. Actually, Rahul, we've become such good friends.. ..that we take each other for granted. So I think that a bit of space will give us time to think. But I'm sure.. ..that when I'm not here, you'll miss me a lot. Then maybe then you'd realize my worth. One thing is certain, that an idiot like you.. ..doesn't deserve a girl like me. And I don't know why, but I feel that.. .. when I come back.. ..you'll be on your knees begging me to get married to you. And who knows at that point in time I may not be in the mood for it. Get lost.
Well, maybe you haven't seen your face.. It's better than yours. Hey, Nisha.. - Rahul. Nisha, you're really nice. I know. Come on now.. I must meet everyone on my way to the airport. Come on, Rahul, hurry up. We'll see you. - Bye, see you guys. Take care.. - I'll really miss you. - Thanks. Bye. - Enjoy yourself. Take care. - Bye, Nisha. - Bye buddy. Rahul, has our stuff arrived? Ballu is mad. We haven't been properly introduced. Let's start from the beginning. Hi! I'm Nisha. - I'm Pooja. Now that we are friends.. ..will you forgive me for what I did yesterday? Forgive you? For what?
Pooja, what I did with you yesterday, wasn't right. Actually, ever since this place was built.. ..I'm the only one who's danced on this floor. This floor has become my identity. So when I heard that someone else had taken my place.. I felt bad. Without seeing you or knowing you, I was jealous. I shouldn't have felt that way. Had I been in your place, I'd have done the same. Moreover, I really enjoyed dancing with you. You were the one dancing. I was doing something else. I'm really sorry, Pooja. - It's okay Come on, Nisha. The pilot of your flight just called for you. I always told Rahul that there could never be another dancer like me. But I can't say that any more. And I'm sure that.. ..no one can play the role of Maya better than you. Not even me. All the best.. Bye. See you. - Thank you! Bye. Come. Who is coming to drop me to the airport? - Me! Hi.
I'm Rahul. You must have heard of me? I'm looking for a special dancer for a special role. I saw you dance yesterday and felt you would be ideal for this. Check, check.. 69.. Ballu, what are you doing? Throw the spotlight properly. Pooja, good, good. But.. I think that you are not opening up. I want to see how Maya looks when she's happy. I want to see the zenith of Maya's passion and love. Okay? Do it again. Okay. Quiet everybody. Take it from the top. Music! Cut it! Cut it! Haven't I told you to forget that you are you.. ..to forget that there are people sitting here? Forget that there's a rehearsal going on here. But you refuse to understand. Pack up. I don't get one thing, Pooja. How I would know which girl was made for me? Will she be holding a placard with my name on it? When I see her, would there be a clap of thunder.. ..and a flash of lightning?
"Oh dear, what's happening? I don't really know." "l only hope this does not turn into a tale of love." "Oh dear, what's going on? Nobody really knows." "But if this is a tale of love, then so be it." "Take my hand in yours, as long as you are here." "Let's sit talking, as long as we can." "Let's look into each other's eyes.." "..as long as the night lasts." "Oh dear, what's going on? Nobody really knows." "How do I describe the state of my heart?" "Even the dewdrops seem to burn, with the fever of my heart." "Why do I feel as if someone has caressed me" "Oh dear, what's going on?" "l don't really know." "l only hope this does not turn into a tale of love." "Oh dear, what's going on?" "Nobody really knows." "But if this is a tale of love.." "..then so be it." "Please move away for a while, so I can collect my feelings.." "..and calm the violent beating of my heart." "Let's slow down so that we don't move ahead of time." "Oh dear, what's happening? Nobody really knows." "There is something between us, don't deny it." "And no one know how far it would go." "For you should know, your heart is not what it was."
"Oh dear, what's going on?" "l don't really know." "l only hope.." "..this does not turn into a tale of love." "Oh dear, what's going on?" "l don't really know" "l only hope this does not.." "..turn into a tale of love." I hope your uncle would be asleep so I won't have to hear him sing. Bye. - Bye Rahul, I forgot to tell you.. - What? I can't attend rehearsal tomorrow. - Why? Tomorrow I'm going to Khandala. - Khandala? Why? My sister lives there. - Which sister? She's my dance teacher. She taught me everything I know. It's her birthday tomorrow. If I say no, will you not go? I'd go anyway, but if you said yes, I'd go happily. I'm joking. Go on. I'll look into the other jobs tomorrow. Thanks. Bye.
- Bye. Rahul's done for. Rahul? What are you doing here? - Hi. I have a friend in Khandala. He's been asking me over for ages.. ..but I've never had a chance to go. And since we can't work without you.. ..I thought I'd meet him, and give you a ride too. As it is you're going alone, so I thought you'd have company. What are you staring at? Hurry up, hop in. If we go early we'll beat the traffic. Come on. Well, why are you smiling? Nothing. Let's go. Today I'm really missing my friend. Really. Tommy, Ceasar, quiet! Quiet! - Pooja, I'm scared of dogs. Pooja, Get them off me. - They won't do anything. Sister's taking a dance class there. I'll just go and surprise her. Stay here. Don't worry, they won't bite you. I'll be back.
- Sir Tommy, please. Want some soft drink? You can have these flowers too. Sandhya, what are you doing? I'll give you one now. You've put on so much weight, you can hardly move. No more chocolates and ice creams for you. Get it right this time. Move the neck. Arms straight. You.. Why are you laughing? Shut your mouth. If anyone gets it wrong then no one will watch TV tonight. Don't come begging me again, please sister. Please Sister, let me watch TV. Look. There comes your dear Pooja. Sister, how did you recognize me? There's no need to act smart. I know all my girls from the sound of their footsteps. Happy Birthday to you! What's this? You've brought me another ugly sari. Yes, I chose the ugliest I could get my hands on. Thank you. - Go on, class is over. Where you are going? The class isn't over yet. Now I'm here, and the class is over.
You're spoiling them rotten. They behave well all year round. And the moment you step here, they start misbehaving. Sometimes one should be spoilt. No! Sir Tommy, No! - What happened? Tommy, no! - Don't let him go! Nab him! Sister! Wait! He's Rahul, my friend. Your friend? - Yes! Leave him, girls. - Come on, leave him. Tommy, Ceasar, go inside. Go. - Tommy went? They're gone. Why are you so frightened? Hi! Happy Birthday! Ok. - Where are your feet? What are you up to? - I'm trying to touch your feet. Do I look that old? - Not at all but out of respect.
Give me your hand. - Pardon me? Your hand. - Yes. Nice to meet you. Oh, you've caught a cold. Come, let's go in. - Yes Pooja please. Save me from the dogs. - They won't hurt you. You don't know. They're very dangerous. - Sister, who's he? I don't know but I'll have to find out. Pooja, you didn't tell me what Rahul does. Rahul? He directs plays. These days, I'm working with him. - I see. I think that you don't like Rahul specially. No, I like him very much. Very much? No, I mean to say, he's a good friend. Good friend? You mean you don't love him. Sister, Rahul's just a friend. A dear friend. I see.. a dear friend. It's not what you think.. ..and in any case, I wanted to tell you something.
There's no need to tell me. I understand everything. Stop it, Sister. Sister, you've got it all wrong. Pooja. Pooja. - Rahul. Rahul. Pooja. - Rahul, what's up? - Hi! Hi! - What's up? Nothing. Why are you standing with the spoon? Come join us. Stupid! - Hey everybody! . Come on everyone, follow me.. this way. Okay. Come on. If it's not Love, then what is it? Sister.. honestly! - Look here, girl! I've known you since you were twelve years old. What your heart doesn't let you know, it tells me. The look in your eyes says that you love this boy very much. Now stop lying to me. Understood?
Okay? "Just a dear friend". Listen, Sister.. "l can't recollect when this happened." "It's become difficult to hide this secret from everyone." "If you say so, today I'll ask God for something." "Oh dear, what's going on? I don't really know." "What this leads to.. - Let it become a romance." So when is Ajay coming back? Nothing is definite, but he could come at any time. Say D. - D. Say O. - O. Say N. - N. Say K. - K. - Yes. Now say E. - E. Say Y. - Y. - I'll be right back. Alright. Very good. Very good. Let's start all over again.
D. - D. Okay, okay. D. O. N. - N. K. - Pooja, give me your hand. - Why? I won't hit you! Give me your hand. Here it is. Here What's this? - Hush. Listen carefully to what I'm going to tell you. Ever since you were a child.. ..you've always put others before yourself. I've always been overwhelmed by your behavior. But today this same behavior has made me sad. But I.. - Quiet! Sometimes, it's very important to think of oneself, Pooja. I see that you are running away from your dreams. You won't let them come true. Don't do this, Pooja. Not everybody is fortunate to have their dreams come true. Don't do this. Let me tell you something. One can fall in Love many times. True love only happens once.
The step you're unable to take.. ..Lord Ganpati will help you. He'll show you the right path. He'll give you the strength to fulfill your dreams. Keep Him with you always. I have faith in Him. The Lord will set everything right. I love you, Sister. Stop it! I don't want to make a habit of crying. Pooja! No. No way. You are very fat. Sister will scold me if I give this to you. Why are you frightened? - Pardon me? Why are you frightened of being in love? Tell her. Love and me? I was just.. Okay, give me your hand. Give me your hand. Nice to meet you. Take it! What's this? - This is, in a way, my blessing. I'm very stingy in such matters. I don't give my blessing that easily. But when I saw you I thought that perhaps you need it.
This will help you to say what you're unable to say. Keep it very carefully. You get it? - Got it. Bye. - Bye. - She's on her way. If you can't say it, then I'll say it.. - I'll say it. Definitely? - Definitely. Okay. - Okay. Mark my words carefully. Bye! - Bye. Bye! - Good bye, Sister! Bye! - Bye, Sister! Okay! Okay! First, the bride. You can drink straight from the bottle. Okay. Here's to Soni and Jimmy. Everyone together. Cheers. For the most beautiful couple I've seen. And now I'm going to give a speech.
Excuse me. Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.. May I have your attention, please? Aunty, please.. thank you. Since I am Jimmy's best man.. ..it's my good fortune to make a speech.. ..and it's your misfortune that you all have to listen to it. Till today, I didn't understand how two people can take a vow.. ..to spend their entire lives with each other. I didn't believe in these vows of marriage. And seeing Jimmy and Soni together.. ..only strengthened my conviction. Because there can't be anyone as innocent as Soni.. ..and there can't be a scamp to beat Jimmy. I used to worry that Soni and Jimmy are too different.. ..to spend their lives together. But today, I realize that I was wrong. I'm a little ashamed to admit.. ..that I have started believing in love. The kind of love in which lips don't speak.. ..eyes do. The kind of love that binds two people together forever. And today, I keep thinking of just one thing. I remember something.. ..a very dear friend told me.. ..about God.. ..God has already brought hearts together.. ..but then He left the hearts to find each other. He made us all in pairs. For every one of us, somewhere, there's one soul mate just for us.
He made Soni for Jimmy. Today, to that God.. ..I give thanks for bringing Jimmy and Soni together. ..and I pray that.. ..He may give each one of us the ability to recognize our soul mate. Thank you. My bangle? Rahul, have you seen my bangle? Darn! Now I'm sure I won't find it. It was my favorite bangle. - Mine, too. Rahul! Come on, give it to me. Come here and take it. What childish behavior! Give it to me! Come closer. Here goes.. happy? Come closer. Rahul! - Closer.. Stop it! Closer.. Closer.. Closer.. Closer.. Closer.. Closer.. Closer..
"How long shall we sit in silence? We both want to say something." "You say something, I'll say something, my love." "How long shall we sit in silence? We both want to say something." "You say something, I'll say something, my love." "How long shall we sit in silence? We both want to say something." "You say something, I'll say something, my love."

"You were a few steps away from me. I, a few steps away from you." "You were a few steps away from me. I, a few steps away from you." "Yet we may as well have been hundreds of miles apart" "Step by step our wavering hearts came together." "Oh, my love." "Oh, my love" "How long shall we sit in silence?

Careful. Hey, Suppandi, watch the scenery. Jimmy, watch Soni. What's up, Supandi? Tell me. Oh. - I'm coming. I'm coming. Just do this for me. How much do I work tell me? - Keep this on top. Take it. - Where's Pooja? She's nowhere to be seen.
Rahul! The set is ready. Good, well done. Call Pooja. - Okay. Shruti. Call Pooja. - Yes! Pooja, we're ready. Are you angry with me? - Not at all. Then why aren't you speaking to me? I am speaking to you. For three days, I haven't seen your face or heard your voice. I was very busy. I have been calling you every day. Why haven't you been answering? The phone has been out of order for some time. What is the problem? Tell me. I want to know the cause of your restlessness. There's no problem. - There is a problem. Serious problem. The fact is that we both love each other very much. We can't tell each other about it. Today, I've come here to tell you.. ..that I love you. I love you very much. And I know that you also love me.
So then, say it once.. ..and that will be the end of your restlessness. Everything will be all right. I don't love you. - You're lying. I'm not lying. - You aren't? Look into my eyes and tell me.. ..that we weren't made for each other. We weren't. Tell me that when I leave you, you don't turn to look at me. I don't. Tell me that nothing happens to you when I touch you. Nothing. - Tell me.. ..that you don't want to come into my arms right now. I don't. Look into my eyes just once.. ..and tell me that you don't love me. I don't.. "For each other." - I don't.. "For each other." - I don't.. I don't.. I don't.. Terrific performance! Very well done! Excellent! Fabulous Rahul!
Wonderful. Fantastic. - Thank you, buddy. Rahul, there was no problem with my lighting, was there? Soni, I'd told you. - Nisha! Nisha.? Let's go and give her a warm welcome. - Welcome. Hi. - Hi! Great to see you back again. Hi. - Hi. Oh, Raju, I'd told you she'd come back soon. - Hi. 'But I'm sure that when I'm not here..' '..you'll remember me often..' '..and I don't know why, but when I get back..' '..you'll be on your knees begging me to marry you.' 'And then perhaps I may not be in the mood for marrying.' Well, I'll be off. I'm a little tired. I'll see you all tomorrow. Okay. As you wish. - Bye. What's up with Nisha? - She's tired. She'll come tomorrow.
Don't get unnecessarily worried. I'm not a nice girl, Rahul. I'm bad. I'm really bad. No Nisha, you're my friend. And no friend of mine is bad. No, Rahul, you don't know.. ..that I'm not a nice girl. Now you see.. ..I love a boy.. ..and have always loved him.. ..and today I realized that he doesn't love me. He loves someone else. I feel bad.. I'm hurt.. I'm upset. I feel jealous. Rahul, I shouldn't feel like this. I'm bad. I'm very bad. No, Nisha.. - No, Rahul. Actually, that boy isn't just the one I love.. ..but he's also my best friend. Today, for the first time, I saw love in his eyes. I couldn't bring that love in all these years.. ..but that other girl has. Perhaps they are made for each other. Perhaps I was never meant for him. Perhaps her love for him is true.
So you see, I should be happy for my friend. I should revel in his happiness. But I'm not happy.. I'm not! I'm very bad.. ..really very bad. Nisha, you're not bad.. ..you're really nice. You know who is bad? He is bad.. The One who plays around with us mortals.. ..making A love B.. ..while B loves C.. ..and C loves D.. I don't know why He does this. When He makes one person love another.. ..He ought to make sure that the other one also loves her in return. Right? But that's not what He does. He's really bad. He's really bad. You're not bad. He's bad. You're right.. It's He who's bad. He's bad! You're bad. I'm not. You're bad. I haven't done anything wrong.
You are the one. You are bad. You are bad. You are bad. You are bad. I'm not bad. I'm not bad. - I'm sorry, Nisha. Don't say sorry, Rahul. Else, I'll cry. I'm sorry, Nisha. - Don't say sorry, I'll cry. Sorry. No, Rahul, don't say sorry. I'll break down. Rahul! Ajay.. ..when I was a little girl, you used to tease me about my dreams. When I used to tell you that I am looking for the one meant for me.. ..you would say that I am crazy and silly. You'd say that when I grow up.. ..my dreams will vanish. But you know, I have grown up.. ..and my dreams have not vanished. They have grown with me. That day, at the airport, when you suddenly asked me to marry you.. ..at first I didn't realize what I should do. Then I saw you going. But then I thought, I was crazy.. ..you were my dearest friend..
..and the one who knew me the most. Who could be better for me? And I was standing lost in my thoughts. You left, and silly me made you a part of my dreams. I started believing that you were the one made for me. And then.. ..and then I met Rahul. You're marrying Pooja? What are you saying Ajay? But Pooja hasn't said anything to me about it. I had forbidden her from telling you. I wanted to tell you myself. Oh, God! I can hardly believe you! I'm so happy! when are you coming? I called just to tell you this. I'm coming tomorrow. - Tomorrow? What can I tell you about Rahul? Where do I begin? Well, you should realize that I've never met anyone like him. Sometimes he's an angel, sometimes a devil. Sometimes crazy.. and sometimes a genius. Sometimes he scolds so harshly.. ..and sometimes he makes funny faces to make me laugh. At times he's more stubborn than a child.. ..and at times he's a beloved companion. In three days?
Oh, no. I want time to get things ready for a big wedding. Mom, I don't have time. The company's sending me to Japan for a year. You'll have to wait for eight to ten months. Think about it. I can't wait that long. All right, you come here, and I'll start the preparations. The dreams of your crazy girl have come true, Ajay. She's found the partner of her dreams.. ..and she wants to know whether.. ..she can make all her dreams come true. Can she make her dreams come true? Ajay phoned just now. He's told me everything. He's coming tomorrow, Pooja.. ..and he says to get the wedding organized as quickly as possible. You're a silly goose. You would tell me your smallest secrets.. ..and you hid such a big one from me? Come here.. ..sit by my side. You know, Pooja, ever since you came to this house.. ..I've had a dream in which.. ..one day, you'd become my daughter-in-law.. ..and I, your mother. But I was afraid.. ..of how you two would be when you grew up. Whether you would be friends. Whether you'd take a liking to each other.
Hence, I never revealed my heart's desire. I also wanted that.. ..you should decide, if at all you wanted it.. ..but not for my sake. I wanted you to choose Ajay out of your own free will. You don't know how happy I am, for I know.. ..that there cannot be a better girl.. ..than you for my son. Just watch. I'm going to give you a grand wedding. You have no idea how happy I am. May you live long. I want full lights and I want to see.. ..M6 on both left and right of stage. Suppandi, in a while I want to hear the music tracks. Soni, the elevation should be three feet higher.. ..or else the audience on stage right will not know what is going on. When Ballu lights M6, one spot light will filter here on this side.. ..and the audience gets a glimpse of the entry before it happens. Rahul. - Hi Pooja. You just make sure this doesn't happen. I want them in complete.. - Rahul. Sure. Sure. - I'll take care of it. - Yes. I need to talk to you. The show opens in two days, we'll talk later.
Shruti. Soni, you just take care of this. I'll see you. Hello. Show me all the costumes of act three's dream sequence. Always sitting with Soni. Never does any work. - That's not so. All are approved? - Yes, this one's approved. Yes. - Trials done? - Yes. - Rahul. Yes. - Rahul, I have to talk to you. Pooja, just a minute. I'll just finish this.. - But.. One minute. One minute. Shruti. Shruti, pay attention here. Okay.. tell me what's the problem? Shoot. Rahul, please try and understand what I am about to tell you. Rahul, Nisha's calling you. There's a call from the auditorium. - Darn. I forgot to talk to her.
I'll be right back. Supandi you owe with me.. - Rahul. Where's Nisha? Rahul, please be serious.. Ajay? My name is Ajay, but if you like you can call me Rahul. Fatso! I love you! - Nisha, you'd said.. I really missed you. Remember Pooja, I told you that I'd come to get you anytime any day? Here I am. I came here after meeting mom. She is so elated. Hey, I hope you haven't changed your mind. You're marrying me, aren't you? Have you told your friends? I was going to.. - Hear that! I'll have to do that, too? Come on. I'll tell them all that we are getting married. Ladies and gentlemen.. I'm sorry for the intrusion. You don't know my name. It's Ajay. I'm Pooja's childhood friend. And since she hasn't found a worthy guy.. ..I took pity on her, and I'm going to marry her.
Congratulations! - Alright, okay. Thank you very much. Congratulations! - Thank you. Thank you. Okay, okay. In three days, we're getting married. ..and you all must come, with family. Okay. Definitely. - We'll all come. Rahul! Pooja, you're weird. Why didn't you tell us before? We had begun to feel that you were our Maya. We forgot you're Pooja, and you have your own private life.. ..and your own relationships and even prior commitments. We are really stupid! Oh, I forgot.. Pooja, congratulations. Thanks. - And this is.. This is Rahul, our director. Rahul, she likes your name a lot. She likes only the name? - I hope so, man! Congratulations. - Thank you. Rahul, I have a request.
- Go on. May I take her away for an hour? - Oh, come on! You're taking her away forever from us. That will be in a ceremonious way. What say, Pooja? This is just a lunch date with Pooja. Do I have your permission? My permission! Now I'll have to get your permission to meet Pooja. Besides, now that you've come.. ..Pooja won't be happy here, will you Pooja? So, go on. I'll get by without you. Are you sure? - Yes, of course! Absolutely! You guys go, and have a good time. Go on. We have his permission.. let's go. - Go on. Okay guys. - Okay, see you. Bye. After three days, okay? - We'll be there. Ballu, show me the final mix. Shruti, show me the sketches. And Nisha, call up the auditorium and tell them..
The thing is that.. ..in two days we're going on stage.. - Rahul! Lights! why aren't you showing me the lights. There are just two days, and you're taking it easy! . Come on, the lights. Shruti, show me the sketches. Quickly bring the sketches here, fast! Tania, hurry up with the band. We've got to finish the music rehearsals, too! Come on, everybody. Faster everybody. Come on. This is our last meeting. I'm getting married tomorrow. I don't want to meet you ever again after today. Just assume that I was never a part of your life. As soon as I start to move, track me with the spotlight.. ..and the other will stay on Pooja. When I get right up to the audience.. ..then slowly dim the light. The show will be over.. The End. That's it. Any questions? I don't want any mistakes, okay? - Okay! Raj, everything all right?
- Yes. Okay then, tomorrow be at the stadium on time. Pack up? - I'll take that. - All Right. Hey, Rahul. Something is bothering me. - What? I don't like the end of your story. - Why? This ending's too sad. A love story should always have a happy ending. The audience should come out smiling, right? People like to live in a dream world. They have seen many dreams.. ..now let them see a little reality. Every love story is like this in real life. Full of sorrow and pain. No, Nisha. This ending is absolutely right. There can't be another end to this love story. "l know a girl, when she smiles.." "..it rains." "l know a boy, when he sings.." "..it rains." Jimmy, just go and check the next entry stage left. - Okay. The heart is crazy, just refuses to listen. "Oh dear, what's going on? I don't really know."
"I only hope this does not turn into a romance." "Oh dear, what's going on? I don't really know." "But if this is a romance, then so be it." Pooja's last entry is after this. Get her ready, and bring her here. Don't worry. Nisha's getting her ready, and bringing her. Thanks. Don't make this mistake, Pooja. Very few people are lucky.. ..enough to love and to be loved. You can't break the tie which He has ordained. You can't break it. I've spent my years giving love the name of friendship. Now, you're going to spend the rest of your life.. ..giving friendship the name of love. This is a betrayal! A betrayal of love.. a betrayal of friendship. Don't do such a thing! This is our last meeting. I'm getting married tomorrow. I don't want to meet you ever again after today. Just assume that I was never a part of your life. I want to ask you something before I go. Did you ever love me.. ..even for a single day or a single moment? This line is not in the play. - Raju! Tell me just once..
..have you ever really loved me? Even for a moment? What is Rahul saying? - Shut up. I won't leave without an answer to this question. I'm not going! Did you ever love me, even for a single moment? No. - What did you say? I didn't hear that. No. - Speak up, I couldn't hear. No. - Louder, louder Pooja.. No, I've never loved you. Not for a day, not for a moment. Never. That is all I wanted to hear. Rahul.. you'll remember my name, won't you? What can I tell you about Rahul? Where do I begin? Well, you should realize that I've never met anyone like him. Sometimes he's an angel, sometimes, a devil. Sometimes he's crazy, sometimes he's a genius. Sometimes, he scolds so harshly.. ..and sometimes he makes funny faces and makes me laugh. At times he's more stubborn than a child.. ..and at times he's a beloved companion. What he is or is not, I cannot really express in words.. ..but I don't know why, I feel that..
..when he looks at me, I feel beautiful. When he laughs, I feel like dancing. When he's upset, I feel like holding him in my arms. When he loves me, my eyes fill with tears. He's made me realize.. ..that I am made for him.. and he for me. I love him very much.. ..not for one day or one moment.. ..but for my whole life. I love you, Rahul. I love you. Yes. Rahul! Now that I've seen them, I believe that someone, somewhere.. ..was made for me as well. Isn't that so? - Yes. My name is Ajay. Yours? I'm Nisha. - Nisha! Are you married? - What? "The heart is crazy, the heart is besotted." "It brings along sleepless nights. It steals sleep and solace." "It shows them the path of love." "It brings joy and tears." "The heart is crazy."
"The heart is besotted." "The heart is crazy." "The heart is besotted." "The heart is crazy, the heart is besotted." [ Woman Screaming ] [ Murmuring ] [ Screaming Continues ] The Culann tribe pledges a bond by blood oath... with our new allies. Let neither man nor spirit tear the fabric of this unification. Together we will purge the Roman vermin from our island... and unite in your father's memory, Conor. [ Speaking Gaelic ] [ All ] Through fire with wrath. for our homeland. to the death. [ Woman Screaming ] That's the banshee's wail. lad. Her cry foretells death. - Whose? - Mine. Yours. We don't know. But someone will die, and soon. Through fire with wrath. for our homeland... to the death. [ Banshee Screaming ] [ Man Narrating ] Long ago, at the edge of the known world, the last Celtic tribes were fighting for survival. Europe had fallen to the Romans, and this remote and untamed island... was the final stronghold of the ancient ways. [ Roaring ] [ Conor ] What does this banshee look like? No one has ever seen one. but two nights. two deaths.
and the banshee's wail was heard before each. I worry for who might be next. [ Man ] There won't be a next. This is Morvern. His father died last night... at the hands of Roman assassins. After hearing the banshee's wail. This demon has cursed us too long. You're going to hunt it? Burn it to ashes. The banshee doesn't cause death. It foretells it. You agreed to unite against all our enemies. Have you forgotten your pledge? Conor. This is a mistake. We made a pledge. We can't back out now. The banshee moves quicker than the wind. It can't be caught. Then it will be a short hunt. [ Man ] Legend tells us this beast cloaks itself in darkness, and may move as we do. But beware. It can also take on any form it chooses. How do we kill it? With this poison. For my father. I miss my father too. but he wouldn't want this. He wouldn't be here. [ Chattering ]
I want the first shot. Take it. [ Banshee Screams ] There it is! Go! [ Chattering ] [ Breathing Heavily ] [ Grunts ] - No! - Oh! - That's a woman! - You heard the wail. - Of a frightened woman. - The druid said it could take any form. Let her speak. Explain yourself. - She's afraid. - She's the banshee. It's the same sound we heard before my father died. - How can we be sure of that? - It can take any form. Stand aside. - What if we're wrong? - Then it seems the banshee calls for you. Perhaps she calls for you. I'm not gonna let her die. It can take any form. She looks like a girl to me. We'll take her. What?
If you think she's a banshee. we'll take her. The curse will be on us. Fine. If we see her in our midst again. it'll be your head. You won't. My father is dead because of her. Leave it. Morvern. I don't know. She never told me her surname. Let's see. You were at home with a girl called Sofia, and suddenly-- I go to the bathroom, come back, and she's in Sofia's place. Where's Sofia? Ask Nuria. She's pretending to be her. You don't know her surname? But who do you believe, her or me? Listen, that girl's papers are all in order. We've let her go. - You've what? - And I assure you she's called Sofia. Sofia Cueto, and she lives at number 2, Quiros St. - No! - No, what? Well, yes, but that's another girl. I know the real Sofia. Then tell me where she is.
Because, legally the girl you're talking about... only exists in your imagination. - I don't believe this. - And another thing. The girl looks as if she'd been hit. She was in my house supplanting my girlfriend! I don't know why, but she wouldn't press charges. Fucking great! So now she's the victim! Tell me. Are you on drugs? - God! - You were under psychiatric care. My face was destroyed in a car crash she caused! Your face looks fine. Because-- It doesn't matter. I've got nothing more to say. Young man. I'd advise you to see a psychiatrist. Are you an idiot? - What the fuck is this? - What do you mean? If you wanted to fuck her up, there are other ways to do it! - Keep away from Sofia! - It isn't Sofia. It's Nuria! Nuria's dead! Calm down, or you'll be sleeping in a cell tonight! Don't ever talk to me again! I don't know what the cops told you, but Nuria is alive!
The cops didn't tell me, Sofia did. Listen, you spoke to her by phone, didn't you? - Let go! - It wasn't Sofia. Nuria can imitate her voice. She took her ID, her apartment. It wasn't over the phone. I've just dropped her home. She looked like this. Nice photo, isn't it? You going to say that isn't Sofia? But that's-- Is this a joke or what? You're crazy, man. I'm crazy? I'm crazy? You're the ones who are mad! You're all mad! Let go of me! God, what's happening? It's my partners, right? They've paid you. This is a plot! Look at yourself. You haven't been right since the accident. Fuck you! Are you saying-- Are you saying this is the girl you ran after the other night? - Is this your ideal girl? - Yes! And you took her.
You need a psychiatrist! Problems? I'm in no mood, so just-- There's an explanation for all this. César. Who are you? - You've seen me on TV. - What do you want? I'm here to help you. First of all, it's very important that you calm down. Calm down? You must overcome your fears and regain control. What control do you mean? I'm fine. Who says you aren't? They do. All of them. They think I'm mad. No, of course you're not mad. But what if I told you you were dreaming? No, no, no. Why not? - I know what's real, and this is real. - How do you know? You discover your dreams when you wake. I just know. - My dreams are much simpler than this. - No dream is simple. Look at those people. They seem to be talking about their own business.
Completely unaware of you. And yet, they could be there because you wanted it. What's more, you could have them at your complete service... or have them destroy you. I want them to be quiet. And you, too. See? What's going on here? Someone tell me the fucking truth! The truth? Maybe you couldn't take it. It had to be a setup, a big joke to drive me crazy. They all knew. Nuria, Pelayo, the police, the guy at the bar. - Who was he? - I don't know. You said you saw him on TV. On what program? I don't know! I don't know. One that talked about freezing the dead. - Freezing the dead? - Cryonization. Like they did to Walt Disney. Maybe I can help you remember. Is that a threat? Lie down. What's that? A syringe. Relax. My arm's stinging.
It's a tranquilizer. What for? These things are all bullshit. If you'd trusted psychiatrists more, you mightn't be here now. That finger, it's making me nervous. You needn't be afraid. - I'm not afraid. - Stop talking and concentrate. Come on. Fuck. I feel dizzy. Good-bye, César. Very good. Now let's see if you can tell me about that dream. - In my dream, it isn't raining. - The office dream. Eli. That's it. I want you to tell me who Eli is. -A secretary. - Eli is a secretary? She tells me to go in. They're expecting me. Who's expecting you? - The Frenchman from the TV. - Sit down, please. It's a contract. - Eli-- - César, who is Eli? You won't regret it.
Sign. - What are you signing? - Eli will see to everything. What have you signed? What's wrong? What's wrong, César? Why are you crying? - I'm going to die. - You're not going to die. - I don't know how many. - How many what? - Pills. - You took pills? - How many should I take? - Pills to feel better? I don't want to. When I count to three, you'll wake up. One. Two. I thought that, up to now, you'd told me the truth. What do you mean? You said you took nothing. César, I'll ask you for the last time. - Did you take drugs? - Fuck! Why does everyone-- Stop playacting. Tell me the truth! - I must know what you took. - I didn't take anything!
Don't you see? Your brain could have been affected by the pills. - I didn't take any! - You said you did! It's just a dream! Why make it more important than it is? Can't you tell dreams from reality? I can! Really? Don't make me laugh! Bodies that come to life, people who disappear... you, the Phantom of the Opera! Tell me one thing. Do you remember what you did to Sofia? It wasn't Sofia. I don't care who it was. What did you do to her? You remember? My God! What are you doing? I thought you were a burglar. Who are you? I'm Sofia. Sofia. You're not Sofia. César, this will all be over soon. We'll be together again. You'll forget Nuria and I won't be afraid of you. - I'm thirsty. - I'll get some water. Sofia!
Yes, César, I'm Sofia. I'm Sofia. I want to see you. I want to see you. I want to see you! I want to see you! At times you dream you're with someone. For example, your father. In seconds, he becomes your mother... and then, the news vendor on the corner. Yet you still feel as if you're talking to the same person. You thought you were at home, but suddenly you realize you're in a school. Or a hospital, or a prison. Dreams are like that. And at times the mind behaves as if it were in a dream. - You know what derangement is? - For fuck's sake! Say I'm stupid if you want, but this isn't derangement! Then what is it? You tell me, because I don't know. I don't know what's in here, or why you killed your girlfriend. I don't know who Eli is, or that man from the TV. - I don't know anything. - That makes two of us. Will you still come after the trial? Don't you hate the sight of me? - What will you plead? - Why do you ask that? The first hearing is next week. Temporary derangement. It's your best chance.
Even so, it won't be much use. They won't believe me. Even I don't believe it. What do you believe? I think you're very sick and should stay here for a long time. Don't worry. I'll get at least 20 years. César, you may not believe it, but I care about you. I care a lot about you. Look, kid. Your case interests me. I'm sorry about what's happened. I even thought someone was playing tricks on you, but... I can't and mustn't exceed my duties. - I'm just a psychiatrist. - You don't look like one. - What do I look like? - My father. Preaching at me all day. Your father's dead. There you go. By the way, what happened to that man with the wife and two daughters? I don't know. I never saw him again. Take my advice, get a lawyer. Good-bye, César. Good-bye. ...the main Spanish investment, but certainly the most novel. ...its economic presence in Cuba. ...depending on the era.
In the Roman Empire, for example, the normal thing was to live... only 25 years. Who's got the remote? Give it to me! Get it off him! What's up? There's a computer here connected to Internet. They'll only let me use it if you come with me. - Why do you want Internet? - I know what Eli is. Wait! Eli isn't a person, it's a company. - How do you know? - It isn't Eli. It's L.E. They're the initials of an American company. - What are you doing? - Checking the "initials program." It'll tell us all it knows about L.E. Shit! - It'll take ages. - No, wait. Fuck! I feel like I've done this before. A cerebral dysfunction. A lapse in the brain. No, not this time. My God! - That's it. - The photo in your dream? I had to see it before I could dream about it, right? "Cyronics."
- Cryonization. - I'll print this. Wait a minute. I don't see what this has to do with your case. The key is in here. Look, there's an office in Madrid. I'll go and check it out. No! I have to go, too. - I can't get you out of here. - I'd be let out under supervision. Make up some excuse. - It isn't easy. - You can do it. You know something else, don't you? I don't know anything. - I've just got a feeling. - What is it? I have to go there, one way or another. Let's get things straight. We're outside, I'm armed. My job is to stop you doing anything stupid. Try anything, and you get a bullet. I've been here before. - This way. - Move. You've got 20 minutes. It's just like in my dream. Good morning. Can I help you?
Well, actually, we wanted to speak to Mr. Duvernois. He's my son. He's very shy. Mr. Duvernois isn't here right now. But, first of all, do you know what cryonization is? Well, more or less. Here are some leaflets. You can read them while you're waiting. One of my colleagues will be with you soon. Thank you. "Live without limits. Tomorrow is for the foresighted." What is this? Some kind of sect? "Cryonization is the biostasis or preservation of human beings. It is the bridge to carry our patients to a future... when technology will restore them to life." You pay to live eternally. They laughed at Jules Verne. César, all this is absolutely impossible. What do you know of the future? They promise what the Church has always promised. Immortality. Except they're quacks, not priests. How are you involved? You're not cryonized. You're alive. This is the contract, if you want to look at it. The procedure is very simple. You could die at any time. Today, tomorrow, in 20 years.
It doesn't matter to us. At the very moment you're declared legally dead... Life Extension transfers your body to our store in Arizona. There, it's frozen at minus 7 8 degrees. We call that "total suspension," and it costs $240,000. 30,000 pays for the freezing process, and the rest... goes into an investment fund... the interests from which pay for maintenance... and resurrection costs, the day that it's possible. If it is possible. We believe that the reanimation of the dead will be possible. - What's this? - What? Clause 1 4. Artificial perception. It's a concept that we haven't fully developed yet. Look. This is a life. Birth and death. Let's say you've got a terminal illness. Of course you want to go on living, but not in the future. That doesn't interest you. You want to live your life now. Very well. You die, we freeze you... and when we can resuscitate you, we'll have you live... a dream. - A dream? - It will all look real. Your family and friends, your city... the world, even this office. But it'll be a virtual reality. What's more, we'll make you forget that you've died... and that you signed this contract. - How? - Very simple. Wiping it from your memory.
You'll live your life linearly, as if nothing had happened. And best of all, you'll live it as you like, as you wish. You'll decide at all times. But what if there were mistakes? What if the dream was transformed into a nightmare? Well, the subconscious can always play a dirty trick. But we're not cowboys. This is a serious company. And virtual reality technology is constantly making huge advances. Look. I'll be honest. Signing Clause 1 4 is like signing for paradise. It's hard to believe. But they laughed at Jules Verne. Excuse me. - Where are you going so fast? - To the bathroom. - Well, not so fast. - I'll go with him. He just felt ill, don't worry. César, calm down, please. This is a dream. It's the only explanation. What he said is impossible. In the 20th century, but maybe not in the 30th. - Maybe not, but we're in 1 99 7. - That's what it seems. - I paid for it to seem like that. - Listen! If this is a dream--
Look at me! If this is a dream, it means that I don't exist! - I just imagine you. - No! - César, I'm real. - How do I know that? Can't you tell a dream from reality? Is this a dream, eh? Tell me, is this a dream? César, I'm wearing myself out over this case. There is no case. I didn't kill anyone. It's all a nightmare. Fuck it, César, trust me! This isn't a dream. - They got it wrong. - Who? I don't know! But they mixed up Sofia and Nuria! I see a face that isn't mine. I'm sick of hearing that! Your face is fine. You're behaving like a child, hiding behind that mask. - Go on, take it off! - I don't want to see myself! I don't care about that. I want to see you. Don't you realize? All that matters is what I see! It's my dream!
Say that once more and I'll have you locked up in an asylum. Show me your face. Now. You owe it to me. César, look in the mirror and tell me if you think you're disfigured. God! Why do you keep seeing what isn't there? - You look fine. - I'm a monster! What do you mean? Anybody'd like to have your face. You look normal. Not just normal. You're handsome! César, listen. Maybe you've got something like anorexia. Some girls insist they're fat and end up crazy. César! I want to wake up! I want to wake up! - Hold it! - I want to wake up! Fuck! Shit! - Freeze! - Don't shoot! This is a nightmare! It's a nightmare! You! Wait a minute!
You're not to leave! Stop! Wait a minute! It's a dream! It's a dream! Don't move! Drop the gun! - I want to wake up. I want to wake up. - Don't move! I want to wake up! Antonio. Antonio! What? You're crushing me. I'd better not move. I've been shot in the back. How do you know? Well... because-- What's going on here? What the fuck's going on? I told you, it's a dream. Shut up! Shut up! I know what this is. It's one of those Candid Camera jokes. You did a great job, I loved it, but enough's enough! - I see someone. - Where? Up there, on the roof.
I can't see a thing. Where are you going? Come on, Antonio. Don't think about it anymore or you'll go crazy. Hello, César. It's time I introduced myself. My name is Serge Duvernois. I represent Life Extension. We met... 1 50 years ago. What? Has the world gone mad? There's no world. It's all in that gentleman's mind. Including you and me. Sure! Shall I thump you to see if it hurts? Try it. They can make you disappear right now, like everyone else. - And who are "they," may I ask? - The company. Life Extension. They know everything we're saying. They know what is going through César's mind an instant after he thinks it. If they can make me disappear, why haven't they done it? It would be virtually incorrect. You've just saved his life. Virtually incorrect? Do you think I'm an idiot or what? No, quite the opposite. You're a great guy.
A character who is very necessary for César. A character? - Where are you going? - To look for someone. There is no one. People aren't necessary now. Why didn't you wake me before? You only had to ask. But that was difficult. Because, in theory, you wouldn't know you were dreaming. Since when? Remember the day of the discotheque? That night, when you fell asleep on the sidewalk... was the one chosen for the splice. What splice? The splice between your real life and your virtual life. A splice of 1 50 years which you didn't notice... because you were dead and frozen. From when you woke up... nothing was real. We wiped what really happened from your memory. What was it? You never saw Sofia again. And the doctors were never able to rebuild your face. You woke up on that street with an awful hangover. You shut yourself away for months. One day you learned that we existed. You came to the office, you signed the contract... and then... you killed yourself. I paid for this? I paid for Nuria to come back as Sofia? I paid to look like a monster again? I paid to live this nightmare? You paid to live whatever you wanted.
We just provided the setting and the characters. You invented your hell. I tried to warn you in that bar. I said it all depended on your mind. Do I just have to want it? - Can Antonio come-- - There's no one here. They can't have made 4 million people disappear! You've overcome your fears. If you want, we can try again... have you live a wonderful dream... with money, friends, Sofia, or whatever girl you want. You just have to ask. I don't want more dreams. It isn't a dream! César, listen to me. This is real. This man is a sham. Let's go down and look for people. Ignore him. It's logical for him to behave like this... but he doesn't feel anything. I don't feel anything? I don't feel anything? What do you know about what I feel? Ignore him, he isn't real. Yes, I am real! I've got a wife and two daughters. His personality is designed so that he'll say all this now. Where are my daughters? God! César, we can offer you another possibility. In 1 99 7, it was impossible to rebuild your face.
But out there, it's the year 2 1 45. You wouldn't believe the things surgery can do. You could wake up... and live in the future like a normal person. - In the future? - You have to choose. How could I wake up? How would you wake from your worst nightmare? No, César, don't listen to him! Your partners set this up! They want you to kill yourself! He's done that. Now it'll just be a formality. - I'm going to do it. - Very well. Do you have any wish before you die? Let them out there read my mind. Who are you? I don't know. Don't keep suffering. It's all in your head. It's all psychological. Come on, César. - What will happen to them? - Don't prolong this farewell. You think they're your friends, but they're just images. That man isn't really crying. - I forgot, I get vertigo. - Then don't look. Good-bye, César. Relax.
Relax. Open your eyes. Openyoureyes. Openyoureyes. Openyoureyes. Openyoureyes. Openyoureyes. Openyoureyes. Openyoureyes. Openyoureyes. Openyoureyes. Whytellme that dream? Yousaidlcouldtellyou whateverl wanted. Allright. Anything elseyou shouldtellme before westart? Nothingyou don �t know. I wasabout to turn 25. llikedeating, sleeping, making love, like everyone. Andyou know what everyone does when theyget up. OPEN YOUR EYES Where are you going? Out. Stop leaving messages on the alarm. Why? Just don �t. Because it pisses me off. Come on, for fuck �s sake. - I �ll slaughteryou. - We �ll see about that.
You �ve got three cars. Why do we always go in this wreck? Come on. I �m in a hurry. Are you backing out? I missed class for this. I �m seeing my partners after. Why do you think I �m dressed up? So you can shout at them. You like that. I don �t shout. - So tell me, did you screw her? - Screw who? Whoever was there when I rang last night. I was alone last night. Anyway, what is it to you? Nothing. You can do what you want with your life. Thanks very much. Let �s change the subject. - Did you screw her? - Give me a break. I was on my own. So, you did. Was it the one you talk so much about? - Who? - That Nuria. My God, I can �t believe it! César seeing the same woman twice! - She must be great in bed.
- She isn �t bad. Bastard! When are you going to tell me the secret? - What secret? - The recipe for Coca-Cola. - Look, the kind you like. - Yeah. Change the-- What did you eat today? Nothing. That �s my problem. I �m starved! It �s funny when you ask them what they value most in a man. "I like him to be intelligent, to be honest, to be kind." It �s all shit! You �d have problems ifyou were like me. Not that again! You aren �t ugly. Anybody would like to have your face. You �re normal. - Normal. That doesn �t mean handsome. - You �re handsome. I �m acceptable, when you �re not beside me. You �re like anorexics. They insist they �re fat, and end up crazy. When some girl ties you down, the rest of us will get a chance. - Yeah, yeah. - Why not? Ifyou meet the right girl--
She doesn �t exist. Shit! - How did I miss that? - God punished you. You �re for it. - Who are you saying that to? - To God. Doyou believe in God? - Don �tstart allthatshit. - ljust askeda question. Ifyou don �t want to, don �t answer. I don �t believe in God. How do you explain what happened? - How do you mean? - Your face. - There is no explanation. - I believe there is. - You believe I �m mad. - I only believe what I see. You haven �t let me see your face yet. And I won �t. Do you really think you �re a monster, César? - Come on, let me see. - Stickyour hand up your ass! Take it easy, brat! I �m sick ofall your stories. - Leave me alone! - I �ll kick the shit out ofyou! Leave me alone! I can �t work with you in here.
Leave us on our own. On my responsibility. You �rejust a spoiled brat who-- My parents are dead, asshole! You made up a story so as not to admit what you did. Is that true? What? That you �re a spoiled brat. My father had a restaurant chain. That �s not my fault. When did your parents die? Fifteen years ago, in an accident. - And now you �re rich. - So they say. Then why don �t you want a lawyer? They say they can get me the best. - But they want me stuck here forever. - Who are they? My partners. They �ve been sucking my blood since I was a kid. Now they �ve got everything. They �ve cut me out. It wasn �t them. It was me. I don �t care. Let �s see, César. Do you know why you �re here? - Because I wear a mask, I guess. - No. Because you killed someone.
Or don �t you remember? - Tell me, don �t you remember? - Fuck! Stop it! We must get things clear ifyou want us to get on. I don �t want us to get on! Is your solution to sit in this hole and not talk? - Aren �t we talking now? - After two months. I �ve been trying for two months. - Read the reports. - I �ve read them. I want you to tell me, if possible, sitting on a chair. Or are you going to stay there? I like the floor. It �s the only thing that seems real. What does everything else seem? Everything else is a lie. All this seems a lie, including you. You don �t even wear a white coat. - Do you think I should? - Doctors wear them. I took it offso you �d forget I was a doctor. So that you �d like me more. It didn �t work. I hate the sight ofyou. Now that we �re friends-- - I �ve got no friends. - Tell me what happened. The sooneryou talk, the sooner I �ll go.
Hey! Happy birthday and all the things people usually say. Thankyou, thankyou. - Where did you find her? - In the library. - She tried to steal my book. - It was mine. - Anyway, César, Sofía. - Hello. Happy birthday. - Thankyou. - Your present. - Thanks a lot. - We bought it between us. Then I have to thank both ofyou. Stop chatting her up and open it. - I �d rather open them tomorrow. - Whatever. - Like a drink? - Sure. I �ll leave this upstairs. Hello. - What are you doing here? - Happy birthday, darling. Thankyou. But I didn �t askyou to the party. That was nice ofyou. I brought you a present, too. Why not open it? No, thanks.
I already know what �s inside. - And last night? - Listen, Nuria. I don �t like you just turning up, much less coming into my room. - Well! Do I have to apologize? - No. You have to go. Right. I know what it is. You don �t want to be seen twice with the same girl. It would ruin your reputation. - You got it in one. - And there �s someone else. - Right? - Who? The brunette you were talking to a minute ago? Well, she �s not bad. I don �t care. I don �t need to be seen with you. Hold me. Come on. A little kiss. Come on. Until when? Until next Friday? Can you manage a weekend without me? Excuse me. I must see to my guests. Yes, the brunette will take time.
She looks that type. - That type? - Yes. The kind who can �t find your zipper. - Hello. - Hello. - What did you want? - To open this. Wait. I �ll serve you. Since when are you the waiter? Don �t you know I �m in catering? Are you all right? - Can �t you tell I �m elbowing in? - A bit. I �ve got a slight problem. - A girl �s chasing me. - You don �t say. - I need help to get rid of her. - And I �m that help. Shit! There she is! - Where? - Don �t look. Look over here. That �s it. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. - Here we are. - Here we are.
Well, act as ifwe were talking about something real interesting. Nod your head, agree, say yes. You know. - What a nice conversation. - Yes. - And she �s coming this way. - Fuck! - What are you doing? - Don �t worry, I �ll guide you. - Straight on. - I don �t see her. Here it is. Go right in. - I �m not going in there. - Well, I am. So long. - He �s in here. - You-- Well, we �re safe. But we �ve got nothing to drink here. I think all you really want is to chat with me. Yes, that too. First, I want to save my skin. Can �t you say you aren �t interested? She wouldn �t care. She never gets tired. - She must be feeling bad. - Yeah. Ofcourse. So you �re studying drama, like Pelayo?
- For now. - Scenography? - Acting. - Really? To be an actress? I am an actress. Is that a problem? Yes. Aren �t you ashamed? Ashamed? Why should I be ashamed? Actors aren �t honest. You �re able to show emotions you don �t have... or which, at most, you invent. Right now you could be thinking... "This guy is a real drag. How can I dump him?" - Really? - "And in catering. A pain in the ass." But you �re a good actress. It doesn �t show. - Hey, Pelayo! - I caught you. - Come in. - How �s it going? Great. I �m a bit out of it now. Drunk, you mean. Why are you in here? Sofía was protecting me from a female psychopath out there.
- She seemed dangerous. - Yeah. - What about you? - I was drinking. Women don �t chase me. - We �re out ofdrink. - Here. - Shit. - I �ll get some more. For all of us. Well, I guess I �ll be going. - Why? - I �m drunk and don �t feel well. Don �t be stupid. It �sjust starting. - Foryou, it is. - Pelayo, you can �t go. You �re my guest of honor. You �re a son ofa bitch, César. - Why �d you say that? - The party �s full of girls. I go for a piss, you start talking to her, and-- What? Nothing. And I look like an asshole. Tell me what �s wrong. - Why do you have to chat up Sofía? - No one �s chatting up Sofía. Yeah, and I �m blind, right? You �re certainly drunk.
I �m drunk, but I �ll tell you this. I like Sofía a hell ofa lot. She may even be the girl of my dreams. But ifshe fucks up our friendship, she can go to hell. I feel the same. Sure. Pelayo, where are you going? - Home. - Already? - Yeah, I �m wrecked. - I �ll come with you. Don �t bother. You stay. Are you going, too? I have to get up early. I can run you home later. Stay on. I �m leaving you in good hands. What �s wrong with him? He �s drunk. - Is he annoyed with us? - No. You sure? She doesn �t look too happy. Didn �t you have to get up early? I �m doing too much foryou tonight. - Maybe it means something. - Yeah. That you �ve got a nerve. It �sjust for a minute.
Long enough for my friend Nuria to admit defeat. This is my place. - Don �t dare laugh at it. - Why would I laugh? It �s nothing special, but it �s cheap. - Do you like clowns? - They �re not clowns. They �re mime artists. Pancho! - I �ve got a cat. - I hate cats. They �re almost as false as actresses. Says the caterer. How do you pay for this? Do your parents help? Do you work? He �s real nosy, isn �t he, Pancho? I �m an arms dealer. Fancy that! I always wanted to know how arms dealers lived. Now you do. Howcan lexplain it toyou? You wouldn �t understand. Even ldon �t understand. She wasmaking coffee andlstartedsnoopingaround. Suddenly, lgot thisstupidfeeling a lot ofpeopleget. Well, I like it. - What didyou feel? - That llovedher. - God, I �m even embarrassedto say it.
- I didn �t hearyou. I said I like your place. And I like yours. Let �s swap. You wouldn �t like it tomorrow morning. I said it because ofthe decor. Your place is more personal. - And warmer. - Warmer? - Yes. - You think my house is cold? - A bit. - And am I? - I don �t know. - You said my house seemed cold. Ifyou �re waiting for me to list your virtues, hard luck. You thinkyou �re real smart. - Maybe. - Well, you �re wrong. I don �t need you to list my virtues. No, I �m sure you know what they are. - But you �d like me to see them, too. - So you say. I �m not going to argue about it. -Just as well. You �d lose. - Oh, yeah? But I don �t want to argue either. I propose we do the opposite. - We don �t argue?
- We show our defects. Great! I hope you �re being fair. This is absolutely you. Well, mine is finished. Fuck! That �s how you see me? - Did I go too far? - Sign it. Let �s see mine. It �s lovely! - It �s not a caricature. - You see. You draw beautifully. - I �ll sell it to you. - Miser. How much? As it �s you, I �ll sell it for... a kiss. That smile �s going to kill me! It would be wrong ifwe did anything tonight. - Why? - Pelayo. Remember? Your best friend. He doesn �t have to find out. Besides, he �d do the same. I see friendship really matters to you. It does. That �s why I wouldn �t tell him. Somepeople... saythat they wouldbe happy with a normallife span.
But "normal"meansdifferent things, depending on-- What are you looking at? I �m watching TV. The Romans, forinstance, livedonly25years. Today... that figure has tripled, which means that-- - What the fuck is he on about? - I saw this before. It �s about cryonization. Cryo what? When they freeze you or something. Like Walt Disney. Wow, that �s cold! Hey, you! There won �t be a landslide. It isn �t dangerous. Theground is firm here and verysolid. - Are you leaving? - I �m going home. Here �s my number. But I �ll call tomorrow. What for? All right, I won �t call. - César? - What is it? Come here. I want to tell you a secret. Come here. Hello, darling. Did you follow me? Ofcourse I didn �t.
But I had the feeling we �d meet. - How was the brunette? - Good. Why? From your face, I �d say you didn �t sleep with her. Let me guess. You didn �t sleep with her, but you don �t mind. You have all the time in the world for that. And I bet you �re seeing her tomorrow. - Brilliant. - Aren �t I? There �s more. - Well? - I scored at the party, too. But he wasn �t up for it, so I �m still hot for it. - And? - And until you meet up again... with your Miss Universe, you could have fun. No. I think I prefer to go home and sleep. Come on, César. It �s your birthday. - Skip it. I �m going home. - What �s up, César? Are you scared? - Want some ofthis? - No, thanks. Sure, act innocent now. I don �t need that to enjoy myself. I see that.
That �s not a good idea. Do what you want. What �s happiness foryou? - What? - For me, this is happiness. Being here with you. What about you? I can �t handle heavy conversations right now. Your thoughts are somewhere else, right? Maybe. One thing really bothers me. - What? - You know nothing about me. Except my name �s Nuria and I �m a good fuck. Two important things. You don �t know my address or telephone number. We have to start somewhere. I �m going to see your house now. It �s not far. Tell me something. Do you believe in God? - Hello. - Hello. - How are you? - You got home all right? Yeah. Well, I had a horrible dream. That you never saw me again. Yes. I came out ofyour house, go to my car... and that crazy bitch has been following me.
- Who, that Nuria? - Yes. She comes over and says, "Want a lift?" She goes on so much I don �t know how to say no. So I get in the car, she drives faster and faster... and kills herself. - With me inside. - That �s horrible. But the worst part... is that my face is completely destroyed... like "The Phantom ofthe Opera." I couldn �t wake up. I was a monster. You �re a monster anyway. - Oh, yeah? - Yeah. I �m a monster, too. Look. How was your house? Was anyone left? Left where? In your house. There was a party, remember? A party? Dreaming is shit. Unless the dream wasnice. ln thepark, childrenplaying, agirl who lovesyou. That �s why. Thenyou wake up andyou want to die. At first, ldidn �t even have thestrength to react. I �dbeen in a coma forthree weeks. You were lucky. You could �ve died like Nuria.
And what? I would �ve been betteroff. Didyousee herbody? - I never did. - You think she didn �t die? I �m like you. I only believe what I see. César, show me your face, please. - What for? - Look. It �s true you had an accident. It �s true... that you were disfigured, but not anymore. Take that off. The doctors fixed you. They didn �t have a fucking clue! In the accident, you didn �t lose just skin and some muscle. The blow was so severe it caused a multiple fracture ofthe skull. We secured the osseous structure with metal wires... and over that, we reinserted the muscles... we could still retrieve. Yes, very nice, but I know all that. I �ve had it explained to me 1 50 times. But you never say when you �ll operate. - I �ve been waiting two months. - But we �ve operated three times. I wouldn �t call that an operation. I �d call it-- Well, I don �t know what you �d call it. The symmetry isn �t perfect... but what we �ve done with your face is, if I may say so... a craftsman �sjob. We can �t work on skin which is pure scars. No, no, there must be some way. - What?
- "What?" You �re the doctors, aren �t you? A transplant, whatever! There �s a problem with fibrosis, ifwe operate again... we mayjust cause further damage. We �d need millimetric precision... and as oftoday it �s impossible. Let �s look at this. I �m not an idiot. Today, people change their breasts. They have hair implants. They even change the color oftheir skin. Are you saying that on the threshold ofthe year 2000... you can �t do a simple operation and sort out this fuck-up? - It isn �t so simple, César. Remember-- - Don �t patronize me! Stop treating me like a child! I �m notjust any patient. And this isn �t a welfare hospital. I �m willing to pay any amount. You �re in charge. They say you �re the best in your field. Well, invent something. Experiment with me. I �ve seen patients who �ve lost all their features... who can �t even talk. At least you can lookyourself in the eyes. What good is that? Every time I look in the mirror, I want to die. Your case isn �t so serious. Just learn to accept it. And who will accept me? Will you explain to the people who look at me in the street?
Will you tell them that looks aren �t important? That beauty is on the inside? We �d like to show you something. What is this? A facial prosthesis. We use it in extreme cases of rejection like yours. This is shit! It �s not the best solution... but it �s all we can do for the moment. I want a face! Not a mask! I don �t work miracles. That �s what the bastard said. But in the end, they did. Did what? Work a miracle. So it seems. So it seems? Things are or they aren �t? - Did they do it or not? - I �m tired. Why don �t you go? I �ll be back on Tuesday. Want anything? - No. - All right. See you on Tuesday. A pad and a pencil. But don �t tell them. I don �t want to owe them anything. Have I changed so much?
Because I recognize you. How are you? "How are you?" You �re playing a part now, but I don �t know what. Your lips are smiling. - But your eyes are trembling. - What? You �re really very good as an actress. I asked you how you were. You didn �t answer. I �m alive. How should I be? And I �m tired. Tired ofwaiting foryou to call, even to say "Tough luck." - I was busy. - Bullshit! I was afraid you �d feel uncomfortable if I rang. You were afraid you �d feel uncomfortable. Afraid you couldn �t look me in the face, like now. That �s not true. I �ve often dreamed ofthis moment. What moment? The moment we �d meet again. In my dream, we werejust like this. Here, in the park. Although something was different. What? It wasn �t raining. I have to go, César. - What are you doing tomorrow night?
- Studying. I �m very busy. - It �s Friday. We could meet. - I �ve got a lot to do. All right, so long. César! We �ll meet ifyou want. Ifyou want. Assoon as there is theslightestpossibilityofdeath... thestabilization andtransport team goes into action. Once the client is declared legally dead... he isput into a maintenance capsule... andthe transport legalities aresortedout. ln thestoreroom inArizona in the U.S.A... a team ofspecialistsprepare the body forfinalfreezing. Among othermeasures... bloodis replacedbya solution whichpreserves the organs. Finally... the client isput in the capsule.... where he willremain untilmedicine can reenergize him. To be honest, I �dhave to thinkit over. It �shardto accept the idea. Howshould we viewit? We are, undoubtedly, facinga majordevelopment... a newchallenge forhumanity. It �s understandable that the first reaction is rejection. We have nowgot the means to do it. We �vegot the technology. But, above all, we have sufficient moralmaturity... to understand what thisnewstep means... forhuman evolution, to lookat the future... andput an endto certain meaningless taboos... inheritedfrom ancient religions... oldanduselessmemories. Thankyou forspeaking to us. Andthankyou to ouraudience-- - Hi. - Hi. - What �s that? - Shit, isn �t it? But they suggested I wear it in case of infection. Well, kid, what �re you up to?
Arguing with doctors all day. - You should go out more. - I �m trying. - What �re you having? - Rum and Coke. You want one? - Yes. - I �ll get you one. I �m going to the bathroom. - Take that off. - Why? Don �t you realize you won �t be able to hide your face? I told you, it �s to stop infections. Sure. Ifyou �re embarrassed, just go. Nobody asked you to come. - Sofía did. - What? - She didn �t want to be alone with you. - Why not? - You �re giving her a hard time. - I �m having a hard time. Talk to a psychologist, or to me. Don �t take it out on a girl you met once. Did she say that? Did she say that? - Bitch! - Come back! Whiskey and Coke. - What whiskey?
