Pushpavalli (2017): Season 2, Episode 3 - Consignment ka date - full transcript

You’re making Sambar or doing some ritual?

Daga Daga Daga gas’s burning!

Lower the flame, I say

Why the fuck are its
clothes in my cupboard?

They only told me to
keep it in your cupboard.

She’s also kept
her mug in your cupboard.

Guys you only told me to keep it,
that's why I kept it

If you don’t show us your hair burning video,
then this will happen.

When the fuck is this leaving?

Pearl! The thing is all
my money is stuck with Vasu.

That's why I'm not going to another PG.



Otherwise I would have gone-

-Do I look like I'm
giving out fucks right now?

specially for a fucking
parasite like you.

Why the fuck is she back here?

I am here because I’m.. I’m engaged-

Pushpavalli, I'm never going to believe
anything you'll ever say, alright.

I won't be surprised...

if this poor boy doesn't
even know that he is engaged to you.

He knows, he knows!

Oh really?

Yeah...

What part of your body did you
break this time to get his attention?

You know…

Last time I think I hesitated
with the pressure cooker. Right?



But this time,
I am gonna be so thorough with it

that your body will
be in so many tiny pieces,

all over Ulsoor lake,
that when they find you,

they find nothing but the stench
of your disgusting personality.

All okay?

Cat fight?

Tell me quickly!

I'll get some snacks,
puffed rice mixture...

Ei...

Don’t be Consh!

The moment has gone huh?

No problem...

Now??!

No?

You girls are boring me to death

Deepak no need to add salt.

Is he coming to pick you up?

Who?

Your mom’s friend…

Who?

The guy with the glasses…

Tall guy with the glasses and the hair,
you know the handsome tall guy!

Who Nikhil?

Don't forget you're engaged, buddy.

I'm not the one who's complimenting him.

I am not complimenting him, alright.

I think he looks like a freaking idiot
with his shirt tucked in like that.

Like what?

Uh…Like all perfectly.

Like he is modelling for
a freaking shirt catalogue.

Have you ever heard of a crease, bro?

People have that shit, alright?

There is nothing wrong with it,
you know...

like what's he trying to prove, man?

You know what he's trying to fucking...

What's he trying to hide?

That’s what I wanna know, you know…

the fact that he doesn’t wear socks?

I think he wears socks,
they're just ankle socks.

Ankle socks?

Ankle socks!?

What kind of self respecting man
freaking wears ankle socks, you know?

Why, what's he going for
ballet lessons in his free time

or some shit like that?

You know, why doesn't he
take some of that wrinkle free shirt

and cover his ankles with it,

so that he doesn't have
to catch a freaking cold man?

His back?

He probably tucks in the back
of his shirt using a ruler as well,

fucking handsome Goliath son of a bitch.

He is standing right behind me,
isn't he?

Fuck it!

Ummm...

Arhaan left these books in my car.

He just needs to return it.

Who was he talking about?

Some kid’s dad…

Really?

Yeah... yeah.

Did Arhaan like the books,
Mr. Rao?

I wouldn't know.

Does he need to take
back any books today?

Ideally, yes.

Arhaan! Arhaan!

He can't hear.

Lee...

I mean Pushpavalli...

Why don't you recommend
something for him?

Oh yeah.

There's Knobby the One-legged Dragon.

It's twelve years and above,
but I think he might like it.

Should I issue it?

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

How is this a picture book, it's
supposed to be fantasy or folk tale.

Oh wow it’s fairytale…
Jesus…

Okay, let me just make
the change in the system.

Uh.. huh…

Don’t you have a Food Science degree?

Yeah, I did my Masters
in Food Safety and Preservation.

Then why are you working here?

Okay, Nikhil I clarified
this last week, okay…

I'm really sorry for what I did,
I was childish, I was delusional.

In fact, I moved here just
to hang out with my in-laws.

I'm engaged now.

See my engagement ring.

I'm very happy.
I'm so sorry for what I...

Lee Lee Lee Lee...

That's not what I meant.

What I meant was that,

there are many Food
Labs and Food Industries,

you know, looking for people like you.

In fact, I'm having issues
with my Quality Team right now.

You export within Asia…

Asia has the least
stringent quality standards.

Yeah, we used to.
But now we are exporting to Europe.

Oh wow! Did your Packhouse get approved?

Yeah...
Yeah, actually it did.

But we're having issues
with our consignment.

We've been...
We've been rejected twice already.

And if the third consignment
gets rejected then the business shuts!

Wow…
One more to go and you’ll get banned huh?

- Yeah
- Good luck!

Okay...

Arhaan...

Arhaan... Come, buddy.
Let's go.

Come on...

Say bye.

- Bye
- Oh, bye, Arhaan.

See you tomorrow.

Oh he is not coming in tomorrow.

There is no one here to pick him up.

I’m… I’m going to be
at the hospital all day.

Okay...

Bye then.

Bye, Mr. Rao.

Come.

There is no talking to you again.

Hi!

Oh hey!
Hi!

Oh hey!

I'm going to call you Lee

Lee!

Lee!

- There is no meeting you again.
-I want to Nikhil to see me getting engaged

Nikhil sir will forgive you?

Let me take care of that.

Lee...
I mean Pushpavalli.

Pushpavalli...

Yeah…

Just check up horse
blinders on the internet no...

What?

Horse blinders.
Just look it up.

Horse blinders…

What is it exactly?

Uh…

It's those things you put on the horse

so that they are not
distracted during a race…

- that...that...that thing
- How? Like that is it?

Show.

That one.

Yeah, so just keep these up and

don’t be distracted by all the
naked ankles running around, alright?

What?

What's the finish line?

What's the finish line, buddy?

Vidyuth.

Keep your eyes on the motherf***ing
finish line, alright.

Gallop towards that shit.

Fucking gallop!

And keep it up!

[Children Playing]

Madam!

Madam why are you so late?

I’ve been waiting here for so long!

What do you want?

I found out when is Nikhil
sir's consignment date?

When is it?

There is no consignment date!

Nikhil sir is cancelling the consignment!

Why?

He is at the hospital
all day taking care of his mom.

How will he have time to work?

Of course he will cancel the consignment!

His mom's in which hospital?

Madam please don’t send flowers
and show off your power.

If there is no consignment
then how will I win Nikhil's trust?

The whole plan's ruined.

One minute madam, one minute wait...

-Wait for me, listen to me!
-What is it?

So are you saying that pushing
Nikhil sir’s mom twice was pointless?

Why did you push her twice?

Because she didn't fall
the first time I pushed her

So it was pointless?

If we hadn't pushed
Nikhil sir's mother then

how else would we have
gotten him to my engagement?

By personally inviting him?

You have a point madam.

Ok Madam...

but why do you want to take
revenge by winning Nikhil sir's trust?

Was Nikhil Sir your neighbour?

Did he join his wires with yours
and steal electricity from you?

What are you "Chaat
Items" talking about?

Pan...
Pankaj... hi...

Why are you late?

Pankaj why are you holding marbles?
Today is play station day.

If you don't let them play with
the play stations the kids won't read.

No, no, no.

We are not going to trick
these kids into reading books

by tempting them with games,

we are going to tempt them with some
good old-fashioned outdoor games, alright.

Okay.

Now don't change the subject
and tell me why you're late?

Pankaj, but you're
bad at outdoor sports.

Remember in school you thought
they made you the goal keeper,

but actually they used
you for target practice.

Alright, that's because I wasn't
good at big ball games, alright

I was good at small ball games.

You were bad at cricket also, actually.

Smaller balls than that.

Oh, you were bad at table tennis also.

Remember they didn't take you
coz your arms were too short?

You know my arms are
not too short to punch you

in the fucking face from here, right?

You wanna try?

Wanna try?

Shall we play? “Biff the Dumbass”?

Fucking…

Now go split the kids
up into two groups...

You mean teams, like they say in sports?

Still not too fucking far away, dude.

Sir?

Tea, sir?

Shut up, dude!

Thank you, sir.

Madam, how will you get to the hospital?

Don't know...`

Then get to work!

Pankaj, only seven kids are coming.

Arhaan's not coming today.

Why not?

Nikhil said that he can't pick him up
because he's at the hospital all day.

So no one else can pick
him up and drop him or what?

Who does he live with?

His grandmother!

[Phone Rings]

Hello Brooksburg International.

Hi! I’m calling from Sunny Side Up Library,
this is regarding Arhaan Shetty.

There is a special activity-

-Arhaan Shetty... 4C...
Hamilton House?

Yes, that's him.

So there is a special activity
happening at the library.

Please drop him at the library
and not at his grandmother’s.

Thank you.

I am sorry, ma'am, that's not possible.

Any change in pick up and drop location

can be done only if the guardian
personally calls and informs us.

In this case it's his grandmother.

Yeah, but I've already told her,
so that's not a problem.

I'm sorry, ma'am, that's not possible.

The grandmother would have to call us.

Fine! Thank you.

Have a nice day.

The library called and told
us that there is an activity happening.

Yeah yeah yeah...

it's because if he comes here then

I will not drop him to the library

because my eyesight is not right…

- Yeah yeah yeah...
- Yes, ma'am.

So then I'll inform the library
to expect Arhaan there today?

Yeah yeah yeah...

No no no no!

No need no need no need...

I'll be glad to inform them.

Okay?
Have a nice day.

No no no need no need!

Nice!!

Yeah yeah yeah

I'm sorry I thought
I was calling the library.

No no of course you are
talking to Arhaan's grandmother

and she is in the library...

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...

Okay, ma'am.

But I thought you said
that you were keeping unwell?

Of course I'm not keeping well, but...

A brisk walk in the afternoon
just whets the appetite

so I just walked to the library.

The phone was ringing
so I thought I'll take it.

Here, speak to this very good girl.

Here, here,
here, the phone is ringing for you...

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...

Thank you so much.

Hello, this is Sunny Side Up.

Yes, hi.

I'm calling to inform you to
expect Arhaan at the library today.

His school bus will drop him there.

I know that.

Anything else?

That'll be all.

Have a nice day!

Looks like it’s done isn’t it Madam!

I want that blue ball, man.

Come on, give me that
freaking blue ball baby.

Yeah!

oh I want those blue balls, come on...

-Yeah!
-[Children Yelling]

Pankaj uncle,
now come and play in our team.

I'll come after my turn, man.

Don't worry.

No, uncle, otherwise we'll lose.

Pleaseeee Uncle!

Please, uncle!
Please, uncle!

Please, uncle!
Please, uncle!

Alright...

Madam, what are you waiting for?

Arhaan.

After he gets here,
I'll take him to the hospital to Nikhil-

Shit! I forgot to call Nikhil.

Madam, so you'll speak to
Nikhil sir in a different voice?

No...

What, madam?

You should have told me earlier.

I wasted so much time

I thought you’ll change your voice again…

Oh…

Marbles!

[Cellphone Vibrates]

Hello?

Hi, I'm calling from Sunny Side Up.

- Is this Mr Rao?
- Yeah. Tell me...

Wait.
Lee, is that you?

Yes. This is Pushpavalli
Parasuraman from Sunny Side Up.

I can't believe we're
actually still doing this.

Anyway what's up?

You said that Arhaan is
not going to come to the library

but the school bus has
accidentally dropped him here.

Oh shit! Aaah... okay.

You know what,
I'm at the hospital right now...

I can come and get him after.

What time are you guys open till?

Actually we have pest control
going on so we are closing early.

Okay, has anyone tried
to call his grandmother?

Yes, I did.

But she is not reachable.

Okay. You know what,
I'll call her and I'll call you right...

Nikhil!

I’ve been trying to call the
grandmother for the past half an hour!

She’s not been reachable.

I tried calling the school bus

so that they can come back
and pick up Arhaan but they said no.

If you want me to drop him
to the hospital just tell me now.

Oh.

Actually that would be perfect.

Can you do that?

You could have just said that earlier.

Okay, great.

Also...

What?

Can you get me change for 2000?

I need some petty cash at the hospital.

Yeah, okay.
I'll try.

Okay, thanks.
Bye.

[buffalo sound]

Pick up your bag.

We're leaving.

What? No!

Why can’t “Ankle Socks”
come pick him up?

Nikhil's taking care
of his mother at the hospital.

Just go drop Arhaan no.

I don't know what to do with him.

- And I...
- Yo, T-Boi!

Stop playing!

I'm teaching the little
girl how to play marbles.

Don't, don't try to teach me, okay.

I know how to play.

Not you, sir.

- I'm teaching the little girl.
- Pankaj, just go drop Arhaan.

I'll take over the activity.

You don't even know how to play, man.

- You can go drop him if you want.
- Okay. But...

then I won't come back.
I'm going to my in-laws' place.

- Okay, fine. I don't give a shit. Go.
- Listen listen,

you have change for 2000 rupees?

I'll give it to you later, okay?

Because I have only 200 rupees right now.

- Freakin son of a bi**h
- l’ll withdraw and…

Here's your change.

Thank you so much.

For some strange reason the
hospital canteen doesn't accept cards.

Uh…

Where’s Arhaan?

Hmm?

Arhaan?

I dropped him to
his grandmother's place.

That's what you wanted me to do, right?

Yeah but weren't you
supposed to bring him...?

Anyway that’s fine.

So then what are you doing here?

I got you change.

- Alright.
- You needed change.

Right.

Anyway take care. Bye.

Oh Lee…

Listen can you
sit with Amma for a bit?

I really need to talk
to the doctor on call.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Also I left something really
important at the library, so...

Lee, Lee, Lee

Look if Appa was here I
wouldn't be asking you, okay...

I…

I have to get my hands
on those doctor’s notes.

I have a feeling they are keeping
Amma here longer than it's required.

I'll just be a few minutes.

The last time I met your mom

I don't think I made
a great impression on her.

So I don’t think she will
be really happy to see me…

So...

She is asleep.

Please?

Fine.

Okay, great.

I'll be back.

Yeah, but if she wakes up
and her BP rises it's not on me.

Okay.

Also, let the record show
you told me to sit inside.

Okay?
I didn’t volunteer,

You...

[Children Playing]

- Yay!!!!T-Boi! T-Boi! T-Boi!
- Thank you, thank you! Wait, hold on.

There’s one more,
one more, one more, one more.

One more time, look at this.

[Cellphone Rings]

Damn! Is this a phone or an alarm?

T-Boi, pick up the phone!

Come on, Pankaj sir.

It's your turn to play.

Better angle...

Play, sir. Play!

I’m playing, man!

Just wait.
It’s strategise… little… necessary!

Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sir

What angle is this, sir?

Distract me not, man!

Sorry, sir. Sorry, sir

Do I look stupid to you?

No sir… no sir.

You're so smart, sir.
Okay, sir.

[Pankaj grunts in Frustration]

Uncle, let me play no?

No.
We're already losing.

Let me just finish this.

Can't even play but keeps yelling.

Bloody amateur.

What did you say?

Nothing, you play

I'm playing only.

What am I laying eggs or what?
Freaking, wait

Why are you talking so much,
play no...

You don't talk back to me, dude.

- I'm the captain.
- Play!

I'm playing...

Play!

Don't...are you the captain?

Play, play play

I'm playing...

Just play

Don't talk to the captain like that

Play!

It's my turn anyway.

And when elders are playing
youngsters shouldn't interrupt.

Right, Pankaj sir?

You just play man

Sorry sir sorry sorry sorry sir

Even the fluke worked out!

[Cellphone Rings]

Look, sir...
one more time, this...

Pick up the phone, T-Boi.

Can you stop being vague and

give me the exact reason
for her still being kept here?

Sir, Dr. Karthik has recommended

that we keep your mother
under observation for seven weeks.

Is that my mother's chart?

I'd like to see the doctor's notes.

Show me.

I am really sorry, sir

but I'm not allowed
to show you these notes.

Look doctor…

Dr. Rameeza,
if you don’t show me the doctor’s notes,

I will have to tell Dr. Karthik that
you are withholding information from me.

I'm really sorry, sir
but it's against the hospital policy.

I can't do anything about it.

This is just ridiculous,
completely ridiculous.

Lee, I’m sorry.

I’m going to be back in five minutes.

Okay yeah yeah...

I'm so sorry he walked out so rudely.

No, that's okay.
I understand.

It’s just that…

I can’t show these notes to your husband.

Oh.
He's not my husband.

He's not married.

Oh. Okay.

In case you wanted to know.

No, it's nothing like that.

Everything's okay?

Yeah.
Just her BP is a little high.

But that's okay.

She just had a surgery so...

Does she need anything?

No, she's okay.

A little scratching
under her cast maybe.

I'm sure her leg is itching.

I just like to scratch
for them sometimes.

Isn't that disgusting?

It is.

But it makes them feel good.

It's okay.

You know what, let me do it.

I'm sure you have ten
other legs to scratch, so...

Okay

He's been really anxious
about these doctor's notes.

Are you sure you can't do anything?

You know I'd really like to but...

I understand.

You can't give him the notes
but you can forget them.

I mean, its not like
there are good looking men

coming into the hospital
everyday and asking you for favours.

So, you can forget maybe...

Okay...
but don't tell anyone...

No, I wont...

Okay, yeah

Yeah.

Yeah.

[Cellphone Rings]

Man, phone freaking switch off!

sorry sir,
sorry sorry, my fault sir, my fault

Sir why don't you just try again

Like THAT’s going to change anything
[Children giggling]

Okay, no.
Stop laughing.

You don't understand, alright...

I have double jointed fingers, okay.

It bends too much.

And I can't sit on my haunches,
alright...

it hurts.

It's a condition...
I have to...

Oh. Okay, sir.
I understand, I understand...

Medical problem.

Sir, play with your toes.

Finger toes with cannot play.

You can, sir.

Watch.
Take this...

keep this like this and...

[Children Cheering for T Boi]

See, how easy that is sir!

Sir let's not count this point.

Let’s do a rematch.

Sir, let's do a friendly match.

Come on, let us play.

Pankaj uncle, I'm getting bored,
can I also play with marbles?

Yeah, go.
Who's stopping you.

Wait wait wait.

What are you still doing here?

These doctors are fucking idiots-

-Lee?

What are you doing?

- Doctor's notes...doctor's notes
- Where, where?

Here here here here...right here.

See. It says she has to
be here only for 4 weeks.

They have been telling me
she needs to be here for 7 weeks!

What?!

Take photos. Take photos!

Oh, yeah.
That's a good idea.

Man, I knew there was something up.

I just knew it.

I'm sure this is a relief, right...

to you...
to your mom.

Work wise aren't you
exporting to Europe now?

Yeah,
I almost cancelled my consignment.

Really?

Yeah.

Wait...

Lee?

Did you steal these?

No...
no no no...

That Rameeza looked like
she wanted to have your babies,

so I just...I just pushed her
in that direction, that's all.

That's actually pretty genius.

I just looked like a dumbass,
scratching your mum’s leg.

Yeah, why you still doing that?

Why don't you just use
the ruler like the rest of us?

What?
What happened?

Give me the ruler!

Give me the ruler!

Lee, what the hell are you doing?

Amma is going to wake up.

It's going further inside...

What's going further inside?

My engagement ring is
stuck in your mom's cast.

Are you serious?

You have some sort of a hook device,

or some sort of a hanger or something?

I could just bend it
and I could put it inside.

Lee...Lee it's okay

Or some...
just a hook, something, anything?

Lee, Lee, just relax, okay.

Once they cut Amma's cast off
I'll bring you your ring to the library.

Relax, okay.

-Library.
-Yeah...

I forgot something
important at the library!

What?

Where’s the exit?

Lee!

Where’s the exit?
I need to get to the Library!

Where’s the exit?
What is this place?

Forget something?

Pankaj, actually what
had happened is that...

Shhhhhhhh... he's sleeping.

Pankaj, actually what
had happened is after I left...

my in-laws called.

Oh, so you went there, is it?

Yeah because my father-in-law,

he was complaining of chest pain so…

Oh shit, then what happened?

Turns out it was acidity so…

So you decided to come back here?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

And then lie to my fucking face?

Huh!?

No no no Pankaj...

I called your in-laws
and I know you didn't go there.

So where did you go?

Where did you go?

Actually Pankaj…
I didn’t want to tell you this but…

I had to sell my engagement
ring to clear off Vidyuth’s debt.

Balls.
Don't fucking lie to me, man.

Don't fucking lie to me again.

Pankaj…

I moved cities
to stalk a boy I liked.

Imagine the lengths
I’d go for the man I love!

Damn it!
I spat in his face.

Anyway, you don't have to believe me,
you know.

This is something Vidyuth
and I did for our safe future

and for our marriage.

So you don't have to believe me.

So Vidyuth knows about this?

Yeah.

I can call him?

Yeah... call him.

I'll call him

Yeah, please actually.

It's a good idea.
Yeah

Yeah, I'm gonna call him, alright

Yeah, you have his number?

Okay

Is it, is it ringing?

Umm hmm

- Hello… Hello…
- Listen, can you just apologise to him

because I betrayed his
trust by telling a third person

Hello who is this?

about something that should
have stayed between him and me...?

- Can you just…?
- Hello, who is this?

Hey, Vidhyut

This is Vidhyut, who is this?

Pankaj, Pankaj also,
can you please tell him that

I'm really embarrassed
that I didn't get enough money

for my engagement ring,

so he will have to sell
his engagement ring as well?

Can you please tell him that?

- Hello, hello, hello, who is this?
- Apologise and embarrassed

I'm apologising then embarrassment

I just wanted to say
happy married life man.

Thank you, but who is this?

She is a good catch

Pankaj, apologising and then embarrassing
- Thank you, why are you calling this late?

It's a weird time to call I know.
See ya, man.

Pankaj, apologised and embarrassed.

- Pankaj why didn't you...
- Don't push it.

Shhhh!

Arhaan’s sleeping….
