SCREENPLAY

A) INT. BED ROOM - NIGHT

Michael is sitting on bed holding his mobile in hand  and browsing something in it.

Juktamukhi is applying bed time cream and lotions on her face and body sitting on a stool in front of the mirror.

JUKTAMUKHI

You have a friend in  some film company,

isn't it ?

MICHAEL

It's not film company.

It's a production house!

JUKTAMUKHI

It's same only !

MICHAEL

No, it's not at all same.

Film company sounds like

Tea company of 1947.

JUKTAMUKHI

That's okay.

You can understand what I'm saying, isn't it ?

Actually, someone was asking me...

Can you talk to your friend to get contact of a model ?

MICHAEL

Model ! Male or female?

JUKTAMUKHI

No idea !

MICHAEL

For acting or ramp ?

Or, is it for a photoshoot ?

JUKTAMUKHI

I don't know all these.

You just tell me if you can manage to find one.

Why do you ask thousand questions for everything ?

MICHAEL

Can you give me a cream ?

JUKTAMUKHI

Which cream ?

Regular or for dry skin ?

For face or body?

Anti-aging or regular one ?

Strange !  You won't say anything,

but expect that I'll understand everything by telepathy !

MICHAEL

Even I was telling the same...

that, telepathy can't help.

Thousand questions are required to understand everything.

JUKTAMUKHI

Oh, now I understood.

Why did you suddenly asked for the cream ?

Huh... You were looking for a reason to fight with me !

MICHAEL

Don't you feel ashamed to talk

for your crazy logic sense ?

JUKTAMUKHI

What logic sense ?

Hmmm...  As if your logic sense is superior like a Judge, right ?

What do I know about film and acting,

that, I'll ask you about a model

with all acting, film making, etc readymade data ?

And you ?

MICHAEL

What me ?

Did I do a PhD on the cream ?

How shall I know about dry-oily, face-body,

regular-irregular of a cream ?

JUKTAMUKHI

Why did you ask for cream when you don't know ?

Whole time you're busy on the bed,

with that stupid phone.

And you expect that I'll supply your demand of cream by telepathy !

MICHAEL

Are you out of fucking mind

like your brother ?

JUKTAMUKHI

Don't you dare to use slang !

MICHAEL

Ohh, sorry sorry...

It's an insult to your unique brother, comparing with anyone !

Your father had gifted me

such a unique brother-in-law...

JUKTAMUKHI

Don't dare ! Mind your language...

MICHAEL

Oh God, I'm scared !

Why ? What will you do ?

Did you hear your great brother's train journey story ?

He was returning back home

with his Juhi Chawla by train,

and some random guy sits beside them.

And then he started explaining Juhi after initial hi-hello,

that she should ditch stupid Parash

and start dating him !

(Laughing loudly n irritatingly)

Can you imagine?

An unknown guy got to know him at a glance,

that, how uniquely stupid he is !

And, look at your brother's logic sense too...

He is shamelessly telling everyone about his manhood's story.

Such a shameless creature !

JUKTAMUKHI

Yes, I know about that incident. Parash told me.

What do you think ?

He told you just because he's stupid. Is it ?

You would have understood, if you were capable of thinking...

He loves you.

He thinks you're a well-wisher !

He doesn't understand your dirty politics !

He thinks, you love him,

you care for him.

B) EXT. PARK - AFTERNOON

Parash and Juhi are walking together synchronizing each others steps on a long lane beside a park and they slowly enter inside the park. They sit on a bench with their study materials inside the park. They're conformably talking to each other.

JUHI

Cool down dear...

She just called me fatty. What's wrong in that ?

PARASH

And what about the blame of stealing ?

JUHI

Please don't take your sister's words so seriously !

What did happen if she called me a thief ?

Assume that she's my own sister,

then you wouldn't even mind.

Isn't it ?

PARASH

I understand everything.

But, they don't.

No one takes me seriously.

JUHI ( Yawning )

It's okay...

Forget it.

I take you seriously,

and you too take me the same way...

PARASH

that guy told you in the train, in front of me...

Does he think himself very smart ?

Is it called smartness, when one can insult others ?

My brother-in-law too

thinks himself very smart !

He thinks I'm shameless.

My sister loves me...

But, she is very ashamed of me !

She thinks I'll be ashamed in public.

Why shall I be ashamed ?

Shall I be ashamed because I can't insult people ?

Or, because I can't lie to cheat people

wearing stylish clothes ?

JUHI (Consoling smile)

Why so much of anger thinking about few bad people in society ?

Calm down my dear sweet Parash...

PARASH

Juhi, I'm not talking about bad and selfish people of society.

They're my own people, they're my family.

My father didn't even listen.

My sister listened, but didn't understand.

My brother-in-law listened and understood,

but not to help us.

Just to make fun of me !

JUHI

It's okay dear...

Take my words, One fine day, everyone will understand us.

They will accept our relation.

I'm confident about it. We'll surely make it happen.

PARASH

I know,

I trust you, even more than myself.

But I can't tolerate

when someone talks rubbish about you.

Even if that person is my father, sister or brother-in-law !

JUHI

What happened if they talk rubbish about me ?

They're our guardians,

my would be family...

PARASH

You know, my brother-in-law tries to make me excited

with his false encouragements.

He says, I should just make you agree

to leave your house and get married in the temple.

He thinks I don't understand anything.

He thinks, I won't understand this much !

He refers me as an uniquely stupid stone.

JUHI

Let him think you stupid.

However, you're my philosopher's stone.

I know very well, one fine day,

everyone will become gold by your magic touch.

She takes his hands and touches both sides of his palms with her palms. Both become emotional and she puts his hands on her shoulders. He looks at her eyes and starts opposing guessing her next activity. She doesn't listen to him and makes his hands to hold her shoulders and she starts tickling his on his belly. He doesn't take out his hands for protection, but starts laughing like a small baby keeping his hands on her shoulders. She also starts enjoying his smile and joins with him in laughter.

PARASH

No, juhi no... Don't do it...

No... no...

JUHI

Why not ?

Why aren't you smiling ?
