2:09:04
You're right. You are indeed
bearing a burden.
2:09:09
But I can't just dump her
in a well, can I?
2:09:13
Please don't mind this,
but I must ask...
2:09:17
...about the suitor's family,
his habits and his earnings.
2:09:23
As far as earnings go,
once he is married,
2:09:29
...he will start earning
to fend for them.
2:09:33
Doesn't he earning anything
at the moment, then?
2:09:36
Of course, he does!
When did I say that he doesn't?
2:09:40
It's like this; no one can
win all the time, can he?
2:09:43
There are times the poor chap
even loses money.
2:09:46
- Loses money?
- That's right...
2:09:48
...but that's gambling, you know.
There's little I can say about it.
2:09:52
My God! Is he a gambler?
2:09:55
Not at all, madam!
It's a shame to call him a gambler!
2:09:59
He's a gem of a person;
decent and straight.
2:10:02
But when someone is high on liquor,
he can't see things in perspective.
2:10:08
They force him into gambling.
How's poor Veeru to blame?
2:10:13
You're right, son. A drinker and
a gambler... and yet, faultless!
2:10:19
You're misunderstanding my friend.
He's an innocent, young chap.
2:10:26
Just get him married to Basanti...
2:10:29
...he'll give up drinking
and gambling in no time!
2:10:32
Don't tell me, son.
I know better.
2:10:35
Has anyone ever been able to kick
habits like drinking and gambling?
2:10:39
You don't know Veeru. Believe me,
he's not at all like that.
2:10:43
Once he's married, he'll stop
visiting the nautch girl. Period!
2:10:48
His drinking problem will be
solved on its own!
2:10:50
Good Lord! That's all he lacked!
He even visits brothels, does he?
2:10:55
So what's wrong with that?
2:10:57
Even kings and princes have
often patronized dancing-girls!
