[inspiring Indian music]
Hey!
Buy something or go home.
[sighs]
What was that all about?
I don't know.
Just some kids.
All right.
-These are for the chips I ate.
-Okay.
-See you tomorrow.
-All right, have a good one.
["Bewitching" by
Ike Illoegbu playing]
Hello, hello,
My American dream
Namaste, Namaste
No Indian queen
Pavement starts
End for the space
Sometimes I'm wishing
You could see my face
Namaste, Namaste
My Indian dreams
Get down when I reach
The American charts
Howdy, howdy,
American dream
Take me as I am
While I have the steam
Hello, hello
To American dream
[door bells chime]
-Hi, Mom.
-Hi, beta.
-How was your day at the motel?
-Ah, long and tiring.
Jordan said you're doing really
good at the store, Geetha.
I've been home all day,
paying bills.
Or, rather, try to figure out
how to pay the bills.
-That's the truth.
-[door opens]
[door bells chime]
[Geetha] Hey, cuz.
Cuz, I am not built
for construction.
It's hotter than India
out there.
Why did we move here?
Yeah, they got us
working on the 15th floor.
And I'm terrified of heights, so
it's a beautiful sight to see.
Hi, Uncle Billu.
How was your day?
[scoffs] Well,
I had many angry customers.
One crazy driver
almost rear-ended me.
Can you believe that?
-Seriously?
-Yeah.
Looks like we all
had a long day.
I think it's time for us
to relax and wind down
for the eveni--
[banging at door]
-That was a little aggressive.
-[Veer] Ooh, yeah.
[banging continues]
That's the landlord again.
What does she want?
Probably to tell us to go back
to where we came from.
[door bells chime]
-Hello.
-What is that awful smell coming
from your apartment these days?
Oh, you must be referring to
the smell of our curry.
It's actually quite good
for your sinuses.
Maybe where you come from,
but this is Florida.
Do you wanna try a samosa?
What is that, dog food?
Just how many people
live in there?
Oh, uh... ei-- eight?
This is uncivil.
I will get you all evicted.
-What?
-What?
-What?
You can't do that.
Watch me.
-But we didn't do anything!
-Where is this coming from?
Why?
This is not good. Not good.
What was that?
[gloomy music]
[Ravi sighing]
We need to find a solution fast.
What should we do?
I-- I can get more shifts
at the laundromat.
[Samir] Chachi,
you have arthritis.
I can get more hours
at the motel.
No, we'll get more work
on the site.
I'm exhausted, and I don't
think that's how it works.
[Samir] I'll quit school,
and I'll get a job at
the convenience store.
-Right? They're hiring.
-What? Samir, no,
you cannot quit school.
Your education
is very important.
We will get evicted. That's it.
-We are about to get evicted
before our visas run out.
-[overlapping chatter]
Stop!
Everyone.
Stop.
Enough of you folding
dirty sheets with arthritis,
Aunt Beeba.
Bapa working at a cash register
when he has
an engineering degree in India?
The cousins working
risky construction jobs when
you should be in college?
This sucks. All of it.
[hopeful music]
I'm old enough to get married.
Right, bapa?
-[Adit] What?
-Are you serious?
Yes, you're old enough
to get married,
but what does that
have to do with anything?
I'm tired of seeing you all
work these menial jobs
for which we're
all overqualified.
I'm going to find
a rich prince to marry.
You cannot do this, Geetha.
You're too young to get married.
-You can't--
-I want to.
I want to.
Are you sure?
We'll fix this.
Together.
It might be fun.
Exploit the patriarchy.
I like it.
[music stops]
I don't know if this is
such a good idea anymore.
Paolo looks interesting.
He likes seeing
where things lead.
He's a believer in destiny,
just like us.
He has a laid-back attitude.
I don't think he's for you.
-Yeah.
-No.
Take a look at Simon.
Is he looking for a wife
or a granddaughter?
-[all laughing]
-He's so old.
-Oh, my.
-Oh, oh, oh. Akeefe!
A 40-year-old horse enthusiast.
"Always up for hoofing it with
my four-legged companions."
-Ehh. [blows raspberry]
-Nah.
Sammy. A master of all trades.
He has got the brains
and the charm.
Mm-mm. I don't think so.
I've got a quietly confident
22-year-old named Naz.
[all] Nah!
-This one piques my interest.
-Let me see.
Oh! A doctoral candidate
who has passed his residency.
[Beeba] Oh, nice.
He's looking for a pleasant,
adventurous, happy girl,
someone willing to be flexible
or someone adventurous like him.
Oh, okay.
Hey, why don't we just
go to message him?
-You sure?
-Yeah. I mean,
he seems a solid candidate
out of everyone else.
Yeah, get a look here.
Samir, have you been
looking at girls for yourself?
-[Billu laughs]
-Those are not all girls.
-[Adit] He's got a type.
-[Veer] You're 16, bro.
"Hi, Krishna.
How are you?"
Uh, "Would you be interested
in meeting up?"
-Send.
-[computer chimes]
Okay. You don't wanna
be too direct, you know.
Yeah, you don't
wanna be desperate.
-[computer chimes]
-Oh, wait, wait, wait.
He's, uh-- he's responding
right now.
"Hello, Geetha.
Thank you for connecting.
Would you like to
meet up for some coffee
at a cafe of your choice
tomorrow around 4:00 p.m.?"
Already? What? That's quick.
[chuckles] We can go to
the coffee shop close to us.
-And we can get there first.
-And sit at different tables.
And watch the whole thing!
[chuckling]
That's gonna be amazing.
Oh, oh. Uh...
"I live about an hour away.
I've never been to Bradenton,
but I'm more than happy
to meet you there." Oh!
Does he sound rich?
Let's not obsess over rich yet.
Huh, no attitude, young lady.
It's better to marry rich
than to marry poor.
Hey, don't look at me.
I'm not poor.
-I'm comfortably
middle class in India.
-[laughing]
You're handsome, kind, and rich
in family. We love you, bapa.
My daughter.
[exhales]
[water running]
[exhales]
[whirring]
[knocking on door]
Come in!
You need to
smooth your hair out.
All Indian men
love straight hair.
Beta,
you're using enough electricity
to power all of North India.
She needs to make
a good first impression.
So who all are coming
to spy on me?
Cousins? Aunt and uncle?
The brother? And the parents?
Let's maybe narrow it down.
-[overlapping chatter]
-Brother is essential.
Essential.
I fear this may be
non-negotiable.
Don't worry.
We will sit far away so he won't
recognize us in the future.
Why don't you all
sit outside the cafe?
-Negative.
-[overlapping chatter]
We can't hear you.
We won't-- we won't hear you.
[Mira] So we're all
walking together?
-Mm-hmm.
-Yes, I enjoy walking.
Only 'cause
you don't have a car.
-Hey, chill!
-[laughing]
Geetha, pinch your cheeks.
I have blush on, Mommy. Relax.
[Mira] No,
pinching is better than blush.
Let's just go.
Land of the Taj
Land of the Raj
Technology kings
Meditation wings
Where do I start? Onion fuzz
Where do I start?
India sings
[enchanting music]
Hi, uh... I'm-- I'm Krishna.
You must be Geetha?
Nice to meet you.
Can I get you anything?
Actually, I'd love a large latte
with whipped cream and cinnamon.
It's my favorite here.
Give him a chance, didi.
I don't do this very often.
Do you?
Actually, it's the first time
I've ever done this.
[chuckles] Well,
if it doesn't work out,
at least I've seen
downtown Bradenton.
[chuckles]
So where do you live?
Uh, Sarasota. It's a little
nicer. It's an hour south.
Oh, I heard there's
a great classical music scene.
Yeah. Maybe you'd like to
get our next coffee there.
Maybe.
Uh, who do you live with?
[Geetha] Um... just my parents.
And my younger brother.
Uh, do they work?
Yes. My-- my father's in retail.
My mother's in hospitality.
And my brother just
does school online.
Do you miss India?
Do you?
Uh, well,
I've never actually been.
My parents and my brother
went, like, 15 years ago,
but I had to stay back
for school stuff, so.
Would you like to go?
I mean, it's India, right?
So, yeah. [chuckles]
[Geetha] Right.
And-- and here you live with...
Same. My parents, my brother.
It's my parents. They want me
to marry their choice,
but I wanna find a wife
on my own terms.
So here I am.
That sounds a lot like
my parents, actually.
But I don't think
I'll have much of a choice.
They're pretty much going to
pick my life partner for me.
You're an obedient daughter.
Girls here are not like that.
They're, uh...
Do-- do you wanna maybe have
lunch with my parents next week?
Uh, that sounds nice.
I'll have to check with
my parents, though.
You can tell them I don't bite.
Or maybe I do.
[awkward chuckle]
He's not bad looking.
Ah, but I don't like
his attitude.
Yeah, what's up with the whole,
"Tell them I don't bite."
[mocking voice] "Or maybe I do."
He invited me to lunch at
his family's house on Saturday.
In Sarasota.
Beta, you can't just
go to some stranger's house.
-He's not that strange.
-Yes, he is.
He is a stranger to us.
But how do you want me
to get to know him, then?
I can go as chaperone.
I've never left Bradenton.
I wanna see America.
He's sent four messages.
"I enjoyed myself.
I really enjoyed myself.
Hope to see you Saturday.
Is Saturday on or not?
Or did you not like me enough
to meet me again?"
Tell him your brother's
coming as a chaperone,
and then it's on.
Is he even rich enough
to pursue this?
Well, he is a doctor.
And we'll get a better idea
once we see his place.
You mean when
Samir and I see his place.
So,
where is he gonna pick us up?
We can't show him where we live.
Because our living situation
is not like most Americans.
Get picked up at the coffee shop
where you guys first met.
Just talk to him
the same way that rich people
talk to each other.
"Lord Krishna, it would be
an absolute delight if you came
and took me to the donut shop
like we did last time.
-Come hither."
-"Daddy will send the car."
[Veer] Exclamation point.
[Adit] Heart emoji.
[computer chimes]
[knocking]
Veer, are you doing
what I think you're doing--
[Veer] No!
Well,
you've gone over your time.
I'm doing that thing
with the lock.
[Veer] Hold on! Oh My!
Fifteen minutes.
That's all I get, all right?
This house is pagal, yaar!
My turn.
-Uncle Billu, there's a line.
-Chachu, uh...
-Hello? We're waiting.
[Billu humming]
[upbeat music]
[Krishna] This is our estate.
Oh, and this is Frank.
How long you been our butler
and man Friday, Frank?
Thirty years, master.
Just about when you were born.
Please follow me to the study
for tea before lunch.
"Master."
[gentle piano music playing]
Thanks.
Thank you.
You wouldn't happen to
have any plain milk, would you?
I'm sure we can
take care of that.
Um... I-- I have to
tell you something
be-- before my parents arrive.
So my mom, uh,
she can come off a bit harsh.
And my dad, well,
he's pretty distracted
with work all the time,
so he leaves her in charge.
But, you know, they love me.
[chuckles]
They just try to make
the right choices for me.
Does she know
we met on a dating site?
Oh, yeah. Um...
But my mom would just
probably prefer me to marry
one of her friend's daughters.
Let me guess.
Someone who's rich.
Should we even be here?
Are we wasting our time?
[Suman] Krishna.
[dramatic music]
And you must be...
-Geetha.
-I'm Krishna's mother.
And Krishna tells me that
you and he just recently met.
Uh, yes, quite recently.
Uh, what may I-- I call you?
Oh, Suman, my first name.
Suman.
So, you live in Bradenton,
right?
Yes, it's quite lovely there,
actually.
It's really nice.
Uh, beautiful,
growing neighborhoods,
gorgeous river walks.
Ah, I'm sure.
Is that a Ritu Kumar kurta?
Oh, no. Um...
I think just something
made to look like that.
[forced chuckle]
And your bangles.
They're quite nice.
Oh, thank you.
They're just glass.
A gift from a girlfriend
of mine from school
before we left India.
I am so glad
that you're educated.
Have you finished high school?
Um, yes.
I'm actually in my second year
of community college.
Oh, my mistake.
You know how some of these
Indian girls these days
get married off so very young.
I'd be delighted if you'd
accept this small gift from me.
Oh, that's so sweet,
but I don't wear glass.
You keep it.
Such a nice gesture,
don't you think, Krishna?
Yeah. [awkward chuckle]
-Lunch is ready.
-Excellent, Frank.
[tense music]
No.
We have discussed
the price already.
No, it's too early to negotiate.
Yeah, we can discuss that later.
So, Krishna tells me
you're new to this country.
Um, yes. We've been here
a short time and are still
learning and adapting.
What does your father do?
In India,
he's trained as an engineer,
but here, he hasn't
quite found his niche yet.
Bapa is just the best.
He's handling everything
and really taking care of us.
And what about your mother?
She's a classically
trained singer in India.
Well, how lovely.
Do you think she would
consider singing for
a small dinner party I'm having
with all my close friends?
And we definitely would pay her.
Oh, Mama sings for pleasure now.
She doesn't ask for money.
But please do ask her.
And it would give us
an opportunity to meet
your parents.
We'll ask and see if
it can be arranged.
Geetha, you have
such a healthy appetite
for someone with
such a small frame.
She can eat all day,
but it never goes from
her lips to her hips.
Mom, maybe let's
not talk about Geetha.
She's literally blushing.
No, I'm perfectly comfortable
talking about myself.
So, Samir, what are
your plans for the future?
I have too many plans
and ambitions.
Most of them top secret.
[laughing]
But do you have one main plan
that you can share with us?
To own a house like this one.
Of course.
-[laughing]
-Soon, hopefully.
For that, you will
have to work really hard.
Or, win a lottery.
That's another one of my plans:
winning the lottery.
[chuckles]
That's one way to do it.
[upbeat music]
Hello, darling.
This is my little brother, Lush.
Wow.
Why is a beauty like you dating
my ugly duckling brother?
[Suman] Stop it!
Your brother is one of
the most eligible bachelors--
In the world? [chuckling]
[Suman] Lush, you've seen
all the phenomenal girls
that chase after him
on the daily.
-Doctors, engineers, lawyers.
-[phone vibrating]
And each one more fabulous
than the previous one.
-Each one richer.
-Yes.
And each one uglier, too.
Marriage is not based on beauty.
It's about like-minded families
joining each other.
Well, I think one should
choose someone that pleases him.
Not just his family.
Krishna, I think you should
listen to your mother.
She knows the best.
Yes. Please take it away.
[phone vibrating]
How many times have I said?
This is just not working!
Absolutely not. The agreement
is done, it's signed.
Okay, okay.
We can talk about that later.
Stop!
You-- you probably get
a lot of attention, huh?
Um... maybe, I suppose.
But I just want
the right partner, too.
Who is...
Kind. Considerate.
Has a good sense of humor.
And who's kind to my family.
Rich doesn't hurt, either.
We should get going.
We promised Mama and Papa
that we'd be home before 5:00.
Yes, we should beat the traffic.
Go on, Krishna,
but make sure you're back for
drinks at Raj Uncle's house.
Oh, uh, I don't
really wanna go to that.
Oh, yes, you do. And you will.
Hope you guys had a good time.
-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah. Your mom's
a little harsh.
[chuckling] Told you.
Hey, do you have any,
like, Lambos just, like,
-lying around anywhere?
-[laughing] You're a funny kid.
I almost missed you leaving.
You can go inside.
I'm gonna take them home.
Do you have lots of
delicious dhabas where you live?
No, we don't do dhabas.
-We eat at home.
-Mama's a master chef.
-And didi's pretty amazing, too.
-I'm sure she is.
Do you think maybe
I could be invited for dinner
one of those nights?
Okay. Don't you got some
Tinder swiping to do, bro?
What would I do without my
big brother looking out for me?
Geetha, you are so beautiful.
Stop it, Lush. Behave yourself.
[Lush] Hey, you know what
we haven't done in a while?
You taking me for a nice drive.
[whispers]
Scoot in!
Uh, would you guys
like me to take you home
instead of the coffee shop?
No. Our parents said to
drop us off at the coffee shop.
[indistinct whispering]
-Thank you.
-I had a really great time.
And I-- I look forward to
meeting your parents Thursday.
I, too, enjoyed your visit,
and also look forward
to your parents Thursday.
[car horn honks]
Jerk.
Driver, take me home.
-How was it?
-[Geetha] The food was amazing.
Papa, you should
have seen their house.
It's definitely not
comfortably middle class.
How were his parents?
Suman, his mother,
wants Mama to sing at
their dinner party on Thursday.
She's willing to pay you
and everything.
That's great.
You do have an amazing voice.
That's nice. I'm happy to do so,
but no payment will be accepted.
But this could be
a great opportunity
to meet Krishna's
friends and family.
Yeah. What's he like, anyway?
Why don't you come on Thursday
and find out for yourself?
Your mama's sound engineers,
right?
-Yes.
-Nice.
Thursday it is, then.
[gentle music]
Was he nice?
He was okay.
The problem's not really him,
though.
Who's the problem?
His condescending mother.
I think she'd prefer
a wealthy match for her son.
Hmm. All parents are ambitious
when it comes to their children.
I do think we should attend
and have you sing,
and let's see if we like them
and if they like us.
I've always wanted to see
how the other half lives.
Oh, you'll definitely
get to see that.
They even have a white butler.
[gasping] Oh!
White men working
for brown folks?
That will be a sight to see.
Oh, Geetha,
don't be intimidated.
You are a young goddess.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, I should've dyed my hair.
Nonsense. You look beautiful.
Mom, you look like Miss India.
[Billu] Beeba, baby...
you just look straight fine.
Uh, I think we look
pretty good, too.
You all look like models.
That's right.
That's what we are.
Poor and beautiful.
Samir, is that
what you're wearing?
It's better to stay
under the radar than try to
compete with their glamour.
The prettiest flower
gets plucked.
All right, all right,
let's go. Come on.
-[indistinct chatter]
-[laughters]
[sighs]
Hey, you guys have fun.
[indistinct]
Bye.
We got the whole place
to ourselves.
[indistinct]
The stage is in the great room.
The stage?
Are you guys the musicians?
We're guests who will be
providing some music.
Of course, of course.
That's what I meant.
Hello, I'm Manju.
Almost family. [chuckling]
Hello, I'm Mira.
This is my husband, Ravi.
How are you almost family?
Oh-- [chuckling] Soon to be.
My daughter, Shriya, is going
to marry their son, Krishna.
[giggling] So exciting.
[dramatic music]
Nothing like two close families
coming together
in the union of marriage.
Exactly. That's what we think.
Uh... hi, I-- I'm Krishna.
Krishna!
[kissing]
Where is Shriya,
your darling bride-to-be?
I don't know. [awkward chuckle]
It's so good to meet you guys.
Hey, Geetha.
Samir.
Bro, you're exactly
how Geetha described you.
Really? How did she describe me?
Exactly as you are.
Uh, come on.
[sighs] Don't worry, didi.
We'll be fine.
We just have to
figure out a new plan.
So, what,
Krishna's plan is the same
as his psychotic mama's plans,
or what's that whole ordeal?
I thought didi marrying
way richer than us to elevate
the family was the plan.
But maybe
they're too rich for us.
Badam?
[Manju] Shriya?
Oh. Have you musician boys
seen Shriya?
Oh. Shriya!
Clearly we have a girl here.
[Manju] Oh, my darling.
Where have you been?
-Hi, Mom.
-Everyone is looking for you,
including Krishna.
You just blew
the competition away, didi.
The competition's not her.
It's her money,
which we have none of.
Yeah,
but that makes you Cinderella.
Yeah,
no glass slippers are gonna
fit the size of those feet.
Yeah, those duck feet?
What are you gonna do with that?
I am so happy
we fitted this dress.
-Isn't it beautiful?
-You look amazing.
[overlapping chatter]
Hey, I'm Lush.
I see where Geetha
gets her good looks.
Thank you.
I hear you'll be singing
this evening?
-Yes.
-I love Indian music.
I'm gonna sit right in front.
That's wonderful.
Party planner
did a good job, yeah?
-Should we say something?
-[Suresh] Go ahead, yeah.
Hi, everyone.
We are so excited that
you're here tonight to join us.
And Suresh has something to say.
Yeah, we would love to take
this special opportunity
to announce the engagement
of our dear son, Krishna,
to lovely Shriya.
[guests cheering, applauding]
And we will be having the formal
ring ceremony pretty soon,
where Krishna will
be presenting the ring.
I hope Geetha is okay.
Uh, Krishna,
would you like to say something?
-Uh...
-Knowing Krishna my whole life,
it feels like
we already are family.
[guests] Aw...
And now it's official.
And as a special treat,
we have this rather sweet
ethnic Indian family
that Krishna stumbled across.
[indistinct]
And apparently
they're very talented,
and they're going to be
performing for us
with some songs.
We are here.
Let's just be gracious.
What else can we do?
It's showtime.
Good luck.
[singing "Ka Karoon Sajani"]
[guests applauding]
[gentle music]
He's too ugly for you anyway,
Geetha.
Yeah, his mother is
a freaking lethal weapon.
That was great.
We should ask Suman
to have them do a few more.
Yeah? Should I just put dinner?
[whispers]
Hi. I'm Shriya.
Geetha.
Congratulations on,
uh, your engagement.
Thanks. You know,
I'm not sure if he mentioned,
but we're actually
honeymooning in Monaco.
It's gonna be
a fantastic affair.
We're having our favorite
macaroons flown in.
-Have you heard of Pierre Herm?
-Geetha.
My God, this family!
You deserve somebody
as deadly dull as Shriya.
How dare you disrespect me?
I'm your sister-in-law.
Not yet, you aren't.
What is going on?
Krishna and Lush
both insulted me.
Krishna, is that true?
-Yes.
-[Shriya sniffling]
I don't wanna marry Shriya.
I don't ever wanna marry Shriya!
Shriya, hang on, sweetheart.
Wait a second.
[uptempo music]
[Suman] Mira.
-Your check for today.
-[Mira chuckles]
No. No payment will be accepted.
This was a courtesy
I extended to you as a gift
from our family.
"Ethnic Indians"? Shame on you.
The only difference between
my family and yours
is that we're proud
of our Indian roots.
And we'll never
give that up for money.
[Lush] Geetha, wait!
What happened today wasn't fair.
Krishna should've
told you about Shriya.
[heartfelt music]
Have a safe trip.
[car door closes]
[car engine starts]
[door closes]
How did it go?
They're looking for a wealthy
match, like themselves.
And we're looking for a wealthy
match unlike ourselves.
How is our Geetha doing?
How are you, beta, really?
Just fine.
I'm relieved to know what
Krishna's really like, though.
Hey, he's not, like, terrible.
He lied to me and invited us
all over under false pretenses.
You know...
-I really liked Lush.
-You did?
-Is he handsome?
-Very.
We must find
someone more suitable,
someone who has honest
and sincere intentions.
For that, we'll have
to find someone poorer.
Someone more up
to our speed, baba.
Yeah.
Don't worry. Your happiness
will come back, my child.
-You focus on that.
-I will, bapa.
I'm positive this will
turn out for the best.
It has to.
And you let that positivity
make you happy.
Just wish
Shriya and Krishna well
and be free of that burden. Hmm?
We should do some
Art of Living breath work.
[inhales, exhales]
It will relieve the stress.
[inhales, exhales]
[meditative music]
On three, take in a deep breath.
[all inhaling]
And exhale.
[all exhaling]
[all inhaling]
Relax your shoulders.
[all inhaling]
[all exhaling]
Did you block him yet?
He's been messaging me
all night.
"Geetha, please,
I need to meet with you.
Please,
I beg you for a cup of coffee.
I won't do
as my parents tell me to."
[Mira scoffs]
It's all too much.
And really,
just one word was necessary.
Yeah. "Sorry."
Geetha, Indian philosophy says
that marriage is predestined.
By what? God? Karma?
The orbit of the planets
and the cosmos?
[chuckling]
How about your parents marrying?
Your bloodline? Take your pick.
[Geetha] It's done.
-I blocked him.
-Good.
And tomorrow,
we find you your new match.
And this one will be perfect.
[dreamy music]
[distant siren wailing]
[snoring]
-Geetha.
-Yeah?
Some guy's been looking for you,
like, every day now.
What does he look like?
Mmm, Indian, I think.
Uh, young.
Was his name Krishna?
Oh, or maybe Lush?
[Jordan clicks tongue]
Uh...
I-- I honestly don't know.
He asked me for your address,
and I told him to scram.
Thank you.
You handled that perfectly.
[birds chirping]
Here's a new batch.
I think a few of them
have potential,
but most of them have drawbacks.
Don't-- don't let
the drawbacks deter you.
Focus on the potential.
Maybe we can find
someone in here we like.
We? You mean me, right?
Uh, is that a no on Naz?
Naz is nauseating.
Ooh. I like Som.
He's an engineer, and he sounds
humble, which is a good thing.
Som is just meh.
I like that Som dude.
He's a lot better than Krishna.
I liked his brother, though.
That dude had potential.
What's his name again?
Lush.
What's Lush short for? Luscious?
-Definitely luscious.
-Mama!
[all laughing]
Krishna, Lush,
let's forget those boys.
That family is no good for us.
I like this Som.
Som, the sensible.
[footsteps]
-He's coming.
-[indistinct chatter]
I know you said
you wanted a donut.
I brought four, just in case.
Oh my, God.
Tell me about you, Som.
Uh, I'm a technology engineer.
I make a good living. It's--
I don't know. I'm a simple guy,
living a simple life in my
apartment in Sarasota. Just...
Sarasota? [voice echoes]
[Som] Earth to Geetha.
Hello?
-[knocking on table]
-Paging Geetha.
-Oh. Still here.
-Me too. [awkward chuckle]
I've been to Sarasota
a couple times.
-Oh, nice.
-Love it there.
-Yeah.
-Anyways, anything about you?
Anything unique?
Unique?
Oh, well, in my free time,
I like playing
Indian classical music
on my sitar whenever I can.
-Oh, well, actually,
my family's musical.
-No way.
-Yes, my mother's
a classically trained singer.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-Wait, that's so cool.
We have so much in common.
I guess you could say that.
That's cool.
Do you play any instruments?
This has been really nice.
May I walk you home?
No, I-- I have errands to
run on the way. But thanks.
Okay. Well, I'd like to see
you again, if you're interested.
-I'd like that.
-Yeah?
How about dinner on Friday
with my parents?
I should warn you, though,
that their house is, uh...
A hut with mud walls?
[laughing] No, it's...
-let's just say
it's very elaborate.
-Uh-huh.
Understand, though,
it's my parents' house.
It's not mine.
I like to keep things simple.
I'm a-- I'm a simple guy.
I would have to bring my brother
as a chaperone, though.
That's great. Yeah, bring
your parents too if you'd like.
Whatever works.
Can I get back to you
after confirming with them?
Yeah. No, whatever you feel most
comfortable with, let's do that.
-Okay.
-Okay, by all means.
Thank you.
I love when a woman
opens the door for me.
That should happen more.
Okay,
let me know about Friday, okay?
-I'll see you!
-Thanks for the donuts.
So, how'd it go?
I, for one, really liked him.
I think he's great.
Mama only likes him
because she thinks he's cute.
-Well, he's not my type.
-Would you see him again?
He invited me to dinner at
his parents' house in Sarasota.
Apparently his own
apartment's small and simple.
Nothing wrong with
a small apartment.
Ours might qualify
as a walk-in closet.
A walk-in closet as my own
sleep space would be amazing.
Well, Mira,
shall we do the dinner then?
See what there is to see.
Yeah, and since
he loves Indian music,
maybe we make it a night of
singing and playing instruments.
[Ravi] I like that.
Actually...
I'm really not interested.
[Ravi] Well...
maybe we can get
some of you married off instead.
-Uh, wh-- what about me?
-[doorbell chiming]
[knocking at door]
That must be the landlord
complaining. Everyone hide.
-[knocking continues]
-[Lush] Geetha? It's me, Lush.
How does he know where we live?
[knocking continues]
Let me handle this.
[enchanting music]
What are you doing here?
I couldn't get
in touch with you.
I just want you to hear me out.
Speak.
I think you misjudged me.
I'm not like my family. I swear.
[sighing] What do you want?
To have a serious talk with you.
Are you the one who's
been asking about me at work?
Uh, yeah, until I gave up
and had a private detective
find out your address.
Fine. I agree to
meet with you tomorrow
at the coffee shop at 4:00 p.m.
Great.
Until then, don't stalk me.
-It's creepy.
-Okay.
So, tomorrow,
coffee shop, 4:00 p.m.
See you.
[intriguing music]
[groans]
Ready for bed, beta?
Uh, I'll be leaving work
an hour early tomorrow.
School project.
I hope Jordan doesn't object.
If we all had
basic cell phone plans,
we'd call to schedule things.
Samir, chill!
I hope you didn't
stink up the bathroom.
I'll be home in time for dinner.
[upbeat music]
-Here's your MegaLotto.
-Thank you.
Next.
-I need tickets for the--
-MegaLotto?
That's it.
What's a beautiful girl like you
doing working in
a place like this?
Even pretty people need to work.
Well, here's $100.
You pick the numbers for me.
Oh, I'm not allowed to,
but I can have the machine
choose random numbers.
Oh, you look like Lady Luck.
-Roll the dice for me.
-Okay.
Sure.
[printer whirring]
-There you go.
-Thank you.
Here's one for you, Lady Luck.
Oh, thanks.
-Hi, Jordan.
-Hey.
Would it be okay if
I left a little early today?
I have something to do.
What?
You have a date or something?
No, no! No.
I'm going to the temple.
Okay.
Look at you being so proper.
I've been waiting all day
and all night to meet with you.
I haven't had a second
to think about you.
I've been so busy with work.
I'm just gonna blurt this out
and call it love at first sight,
but I have fallen
hopelessly for you.
[romantic music]
I want you to consider me
as a prospective husband.
[laughs] How is that possible?
We don't even know each other.
I know you're incredible.
[Geetha]
How old are you, exactly?
I'm 22,
in my last year of college,
preparing to equally inherit
the family business.
What are your parents
gonna say about this?
The oldest son is a martyr.
The second son gets his freedom.
I'm not even allowed
to be alone with you.
If you're serious,
you have to come up with a plan
and talk to my parents.
Well, we can plan to
get to know each other better.
Meet more times over tea,
talk, take walks.
Lush, this is serious.
I need to be married
in the next few months.
Again, easy.
And my suitable partner
must legitimize all of us.
Somehow I don't
see that being you.
Do you think I'm not man enough?
No. On the contrary, you're
much more of a man than Krishna.
But you need
your family's money,
and you choosing me
will not make them happy.
They need me
in the family business.
They came from India.
American success has a way
of erasing those memories.
[glass clings]
I'm really head over heels,
Geetha.
I'll do what it takes to
win you over, and your family.
Make sure mine understands
and agrees.
I don't want a g*n
held to your parents' head
for them to accept me.
Leave it to me.
I have to go.
Meet me here,
same time tomorrow.
I'll try my best.
This is overwhelming
certainty I feel.
How about tomorrow
I come talk to your parents?
Money is the least
of what I need.
I have enough for the two of us.
I'm gonna drive you home.
No. I need to break the news
to my parents in my own way.
I respect that.
[gentle music]
[sighs]
Geetha?
That's not what
you wore out this morning.
What's going on? Where were you?
Are you moonlighting somewhere?
Let the girl speak.
Go wash that kajal
off your eyes first,
and then explain.
What was that all about?
I have no idea.
Mm.
I'm sure she has
good explanation.
Yeah, but it's okay.
A little kajal never hurt any--
Take a seat.
Don't be so tense, didi.
We'll find someone.
Beta, there is no pressure
for you to marry anyone
right now if you're not ready.
I won't have my daughter
humiliated and pressured.
Actually, I was with Lush.
What?
I assumed he wanted to
explain his family.
After all,
he's been so nice to us.
Wait. What about Som?
Forget Som!
Lush is crazy about you.
And you're crazy about him,
aren't you?
Well, actually, he said he wants
to get to know me better.
Much better.
It was kind of like a proposal.
What?
A proposal?
[sighs] Beta, that's--
that's okay, but if
he wants to have a proposal,
he needs to do this
the right way.
No dates without a chaperone.
And how does he plan
to handle his mother?
He says Krishna,
as the eldest son,
must marry Shriya
and do what his parents say.
He, as the second son,
can and will do what he chooses.
Papa, you may get your
rags to riches dream after all.
Samir, chill.
Is he really any better
than his brother?
She's got Lush
wrapped around her finger.
Little Geets over here
calling the shots.
Poor Krishna. Bless him.
[Ravi] Mira...
-shall we proceed?
-Yeah.
I think we should.
You invite him here for dinner.
Let him see exactly how we live.
We will not hide
behind any facade anymore.
What is there to hide?
They're rich. We're not rich.
Simple.
We aren't hiding.
We're just
keeping up appearances.
Okay. I'll ask him.
[Beeba] Wait,
he's the handsome one, right?
Yes, he's definitely
the handsome one.
[all laughing]
You got your beautiful hair
from your mom.
Beta, if I was rich...
I would give you the moon.
You already gave me
the moon, bapa.
[sighs] Good night, beta.
Good night.
[light switch clicks]
I think I like him, Mom.
But I'm a little worried about
what this "getting to
know you better" means.
You know, in my time,
your father and I only
glanced at each other through
a curtain before we got married.
Mama lucked out.
-Papa's handsome.
-[laughs]
Papa didn't do so badly either!
Okay, you both lucked out.
I see where Geetha
gets her beauty from.
[laughing]
He said yes.
He's coming over for dinner.
-That's amazing.
-Very good.
Let's discuss the menu.
-[Veer] Biryani.
-Palak paneer.
[Mira] Yes, good idea.
And I'm only gonna
drive a half-day today
so I can come home early
and help prepare the food.
Aw, Uncle, you're such a good
chef, and Mom's a swad master.
Dinner will be amazing.
[Mira] Oh,
and everybody come home early.
Geetha, go shop.
[upbeat music]
[indistinct]
Veer, put this up
in the cabinet.
You know which.
[Veer] Okay.
-This is too spicy for Lush.
-Hey!
Why are you putting
your germs all over that?
-Use a spoon.
-I got everything!
Total cost, $150.
But the clerk gave me
two free potatoes.
Oh!
Good things surround you,
big and small.
$150? That's, like, 200 donuts.
But for the Lord and Master
Lush, just one meal.
Ha-ha, you're very funny, Samir.
You stick to stirring.
Eh, not you, Geetha. I don't
want you stinking of curry.
Come on,
we have to beautify you.
She's our one-way ticket
to richy-rich universe.
You're not funny, Veer.
[Geetha] I think
I've worn this before.
Yeah, don't repeat.
This one has a stain on it.
No, and it's too plain.
This one's nice, but I haven't
washed it in a long time.
[laughs] Yeah, that's not good.
[sighs] I have nothing to wear.
Oh, you have
so many pretty things.
Actually, you know
what I think is perfect?
I think this white embroidered
Lucknowi kurta. Hmm?
Perfect. That's so pretty.
Oh, Mom, could I wear your
pearl hoop earrings with this?
You read my mind.
You know, Nani gave me this
when I was your age,
just before I met your father.
So maybe this is a sign.
I wish I had a white dupatta.
Oh, you know, it's okay.
I think your long, regal neck
and lovely collarbones
will be a dupatta.
You don't need one.
-[Geetha] Thanks, Mom.
-[door bells chime]
I'm home
and ready to make some magic.
Come see.
Hey, a gift for the young boy.
He'll look so handsome.
-Right?
-If he ever wears it.
Hey, it's the thought
which counts.
And a pure silk jacket
for the mother of the bride.
Because she got to look special.
-[gasps, laughs]
-Right?
Wow, Billu, this is gorgeous!
-Oh, I'm glad you like it.
-Thank you.
[Beeba] It'll look
so beautiful on you.
Right? That's gonna look
amazing. And the best for last.
-For me?
-Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
-Wow!
-Like it?
Oh, it's beautiful.
How did you know I'd wear white?
Because you're pure
like an angel.
[laughing]
We know that you don't
have a white dupatta
for your white kurta.
Oh,
you're gonna look so gorgeous.
[Samir] Nine.
Nine and a half.
Ten out of ten.
[both] 14!
-Thanks, guys.
-[laughing]
[hopeful music]
[doorbell chimes]
Pleasure to see you again.
Mira. I'm so sorry I'm late.
But I stopped by my father's
favorite French bakery
to get you all some goodies.
Oh, these look good.
I'll take these to the kitchen.
This is our small home.
You're new to America.
What he's saying is
we're not wealthy.
In India, we were
comfortably upper-middle class.
But here, we're not.
Lush, please, have a seat.
Not until everyone else sits.
Um, it's not too spicy for you,
yeah?
[Lush] Not at all. It's amazing.
Lush, we're so happy you
could join us this evening.
I wish we could have
had your parents,
but I don't think they would
be too comfortable here.
Their loss. They're missing
an amazing dinner.
So what do you plan to do
with your life, young man?
I have the options
to join the family business,
or study further, or...
pursue something different.
That's all very fine, but...
do you have
the situation for a wife?
Yes. I believe I do.
Do you mean it?
I do.
Rest assured,
I'm not my brother.
I have the freedom
to marry who I want.
I'm not looking for money,
and I'm not required to
make a match with money.
But your parents
would prefer that.
Yes?
I can't deny they would.
But that doesn't change
my choice for my future.
I wanna get to know Geetha well.
Or as well as
you will let me, sir.
I love potatoes.
[Lush] Yeah,
the food is delicious.
Um, so amazing.
So wonderful.
Wait.
We should get to know each
other in different ways too.
What other ways are there?
[chuckles]
A union of the minds,
the heart, maybe the soul.
That's really deep.
And old-fashioned.
-Good night, my love.
-Good night.
[engine revving]
[man] Oh, I think she's right
here.
Well, tell us everything.
Let her catch her breath.
-Hey! I liked him.
-Well?
I'm not sure if he's very deep,
but he's very pleasant.
Deepness is for
swimming pools, Uncle Billu.
-[laughing]
-So when are you
seeing him again?
Tomorrow at the coffee shop.
-What?
-Okay.
Only if you take Samir
as a chaperone.
If you insist.
This process is
for your good, beta.
Men like Lush are used to
getting whatever they want,
but you are definitely
not part of that inevitability.
Yes, bapa.
I am going for
the blueberry muffins.
-This one's really good.
-[indistinct chatter]
[upbeat music]
Sorry.
My father kept me
tied up with work.
I'm usually quite punctual.
Sure.
It's fine.
[Lush] It was a pleasure
to meet your family.
Your mother is a great cook.
Do you know how to cook?
-No.
-[Lush] I love to cook.
[scoffs] Really?
Somehow you don't strike me
as that kind of person.
What do I strike you as?
More of a party guy.
[Lush] A party guy?
What are you gonna do
with a party guy?
[laughs] I don't know.
I guess I'll figure it out.
You know, I can take you
somewhere nicer than Bradenton.
Okay. As long as it's close by.
I'm not gonna kidnap you.
[exhales]
I don't know. You just might.
[scoffs]
Do you even realize
how pretty you are?
God, my brother is such a loser.
Does your brother
know about this?
No, I thought I'd wait.
Just in case, um...
Well, you know what I mean.
No, I don't know what you mean.
To see how things work out.
I'm smitten with you.
I can't do that out
in the open like that.
Nobody knows me
in this neighborhood.
It's not your reputation
at risk.
[watch beeping]
Wow. You set an alarm?
I don't want to upset my father.
You know,
I am enjoying these rules,
even though
they're new and odd for me.
After you.
Didi.
Can I just say...
he's really forward.
You cannot tell Mom
or bapa what happened.
Fine. But you have to
do my chores for a week.
And give me your dessert.
Half my dessert.
Fine, half.
[door bells chime]
Lush
It's Lush
Lush
It's Lush
It's a dream
To be seen by Lush
[applause]
[computer notification chimes]
Leave it, Ravi Uncle.
It's Mira Auntie's turn to sing.
Come on, Ravi.
-Baba, it might be important.
-Papa, always working.
-This is for you.
-Oh.
Oh, it's from Lush.
-[laughing]
-Yeah, it is.
"Dear Geetha,
I would like to invite you
and your whole family to spend
the weekend at our beach house.
At the end of the weekend,
we might even come to
a relationship decision."
That's romantic.
"May I send a car
for you all Friday at 5:00?"
You know what this means.
We get a vacation
and a decision.
The beach could be fun, didi.
Oh, can we come?
I'm sure that
will be fine, right?
We just have to let him know
how many of us are coming?
Yeah. Wow.
Our destiny can change
in an instant.
We have so much planning to do.
-Mm-hmm.
-Let's strategize
this weekend right now.
-It feels like a svayamvara.
-What is that?
It's when a woman chooses
from a group of suitors.
I thought I'm supposed to be
the one choosing.
Isn't this what you wanted?
You guys are getting
what you want.
Lush is getting what he wants.
What about me?
[Mira] Okay, my love.
Let's get you a nice mani-pedi.
No, Mom. I can do it myself.
Mm-mm. No, you cannot.
Not as well as I can.
Come on.
Can I buy a new swimsuit?
-Shopping!
-[chuckling]
[Geetha sighs] That's soothing.
[chuckles] Close your eyes.
Just relax and take in
all the positive energy.
Everything about you, my girl,
is so lovely
you barely need to try.
My nice hands and feet
come from you, Mom.
Go to bed early
and get a lot of rest tonight.
You'll be great.
Are you nervous about tomorrow?
Not at all. Are you?
-Maybe a little.
-Hmm, no.
When he sees you, he's gonna
see there's so much more to you
than just a pretty face.
-[seagulls squawking]
-[overlapping chatter]
[Samir] It really is beautiful.
[Geetha] Yeah.
Wow, didi, your prince charming
sure does impress.
[laughs] He does.
[Lush]
I'm glad you could all join us.
-How was everyone's ride over?
-Not too bad.
It was bumpy.
Like, really bumpy.
Geetha, you look amazing.
Thank you.
Sir.
Would you like to come inside?
[Geetha] If we're allowed in.
[Lush] Mi casa es su casa.
Oh, so they are actually here.
Hmm.
So nice Lush called you.
He just told me this morning.
But no worries.
All of your rooms are ready.
We're having
a small engagement party
for Shriya and Krishna
this evening.
Now that her ring has
just arrived from the jeweler.
This is absolutely perfect,
Lush.
-Mira can sing for
your brother's party.
-[Lush] Um--
Actually, we were invited
by your son to enjoy the sea air
and have a nice weekend.
Besides,
my throat is feeling dry.
Absolutely. No singing.
Amma, let me take them
to their rooms.
Absolutely.
This way.
[tense music]
Welcome to Casa Rao.
I'm sorry your brother
and cousins will have to
double up in one room.
Oh, we're used to
doubling up in a closet,
so we'll be fine with that.
[Geetha] Your house is insane.
Then, Geetha, maybe we could
go on a walk around
the property and talk?
I'd like that.
See you later.
Wow, Ravi.
We could fit four generations
of our family in here.
-Four? Try five.
-[both laughing]
-[Mira] Hi, beta.
-I'm glad you cut Suman
down to size, Mom.
Beta, do you think they know
why we are here?
I don't know.
Well, I'm gonna freshen up.
[speaking foreign language]
-Whoo!
-Firm.
-Huh?
-Nice.
[gentle music]
[bangles rattle]
Think positive, Geetha.
[knocking on door]
Come in.
[Lush] Come on, beautiful.
Let's go.
[waves lapping]
Lush, have you spoken to
your parents at all about me?
Actually, I haven't.
But, when we have a decision,
I'll handle it.
Okay, but remember,
this decision goes both ways.
It's not just your choice.
I'm serious, don't worry.
I'm really enjoying
getting to know you.
I'm making sure
we have more in common
than just me admiring
your obvious beauty.
[laughs] Thank you.
It's almost tea time.
We should get going.
What is she doing here?
I literally told you
not to invite her.
-Hi.
-Hey, Geetha.
Ignore her. Just ignore her.
Nice one.
I am talking to your mom
about this. Let's go.
[quirky music]
Hmm.
Krishna, pass me a spoon,
please, darling.
Thank you.
It's like a chess game
waiting to happen.
They don't seem at ease.
Can I get some juice, please?
Of course.
So, Mr. Desai, what's
your status in this country?
We are legally here, Suresh.
And we intend to
keep it that way.
This is awkward.
I mean, first you were seeing me
and now you're
seeing my brother?
Krishna, I think you should
worry about your own engagement.
Stop prying into our lives.
This is my life too.
The only reason
you're seeing Geetha is 'cause
she was seeing me first.
We can leave if you wish.
There is no need for insults.
I don't think
that's my son's intention.
-He's just establishing--
-Establishing what, Papa?
That you've got
your eldest son trapped
into a loveless marriage?
Don't try and do that with me.
How dare you?
[Suman] Stop it, Lush.
-Stop it, Lush.
-Look, she's being dramatic.
[scoffs]
[Suman] And you behave yourself.
Enough of this.
Shriya, darling, I'm coming.
Run along, then.
[Suman] I don't know
what's gotten into him.
-[sighs]
Well... this is a bit of a mess.
Actually,
that's just our family dynamic.
I'm sorry it occurred
so early in your visit.
I need some fresh air.
It's been a long day,
and I need to re-energize myself
for probably a longer evening.
Ah! [laughs] Thanks.
[seagulls sqawking]
[Lush] I'm sorry about earlier.
You know,
there's some fanfare tonight
about a ring
my mother is giving to Shriya.
I'd like for you to be there.
Then we'll all be present.
May I talk to you for a second?
No.
I have to go and get ready.
[Lush]
Uh, I'll inform the others.
[knocking at door]
[Samir] Didi? Can I come in?
Yes. It's open.
-You ready?
-Yeah.
As much as I want you
to do what makes you happy...
I don't think Lush deserves you.
Or this family.
I love your concern.
But Indians believe in destiny.
And this is my destiny.
So what will be will be?
Pretty much.
Geetha, Samir, are you ready?
Let's go.
[gentle music]
No expectations, beta.
Whatever will be will be.
So he's taking me somewhere
really special tonight.
Oh, darling.
[overlapping chatter]
Thank you.
[soft clinking]
[chatter stops]
Hello, everyone,
and welcome to Shriya
and Krishna's celebration.
[guests cheering]
Thank you for
joining us tonight.
All of you have been
part of the successful journey
of the Rao family.
At least, most of you.
So, raise your glasses
to Krishna and Shriya's
engagement celebration.
[applause]
-Here you go.
-Thank you, darling.
Are you ready?
Here's the ring.
[guests exclaiming]
Now put it on her.
I love it!
[Suman] Let me see,
let me see, darling.
-[Shriya] Isn't it beautiful?
-[Suman] Oh, look at this.
Wonderful!
-[guests applauding]
-Wonderful!
Now say something, darling.
Uh, so our family
has known Shriya's family
for a really long time,
so I guess this is
the inevitable conclusion
to our families' friendship.
[quirky music]
I'm quite tired.
Yes, I agree.
I think we should
all call it a day.
Wait, wait, wait.
Geetha, Mr. Desai!
Listen, I hope it wasn't
too difficult an evening.
[Lush panting]
Not at all, young man.
It was pleasant.
Except... it was a night
with strangers.
Not for long.
Uh, we'll gather
tomorrow morning, after which--
After which,
we all need to get home.
We all have to
get on with our lives.
[solemn music]
[waves crashing]
Are you both all right?
Beta,
we didn't sleep all night.
We feel bad for pushing you
into a family
that you don't belong in.
This is not for us.
I've been having
nightmares about this.
It's okay.
You're my family,
and you're concerned.
Plus, I think I managed
to rile Lush up anyways.
I think it's best
we leave after breakfast.
I think we should all
go out there, be gracious,
with our decision
pretty much made.
Everyone get dressed,
gather your things.
We will walk
out there together...
as a family.
-Yes!
-[laughing]
-Yes.
-[Samir] Let me go!
[Lush] Hold on! Geetha.
What do you want, Lush?
I want to propose.
Uh, I don't know.
-We're leaving.
-No more excuses.
I promise, I'm serious.
Okay? I'll come to your place
with my parents.
I'll bring a-- I'll bring
a ring and everything.
It will be official.
I hope so.
See you soon.
Well, we ultimately got the
outcome we wanted, didn't we?
I want a job with Lush.
-I wanna live in that house.
-Right?
Once you have a child,
it will all work out.
Will it?
[melancholy music]
[sobbing]
[Geetha sniffling]
[Samir] Didi.
You'll be okay.
Good night, didi.
Ma'am, we're out of change.
Here's a dollar.
Oh, no. No.
I want my exact change.
Fine.
I'll see what I have myself.
-[customer] Hey!
-Did you sell
the winning lottery
ticket that was from here?
Uh, no. I don't know.
I just work here.
You should. It's big news.
These are the winning numbers.
Has no one
claimed the prize yet?
-How much is the prize?
-$100 million.
What would someone do
with that much money?
Terry, let's go.
There's nothing to see here.
[intense music]
[exhales]
[gasps]
Bapa! Everyone! Come here!
What happened?
-I think I'm gonna faint.
-Oh, my God. Are you sick?
No. Just, please,
everyone, hear me out.
A few days ago at work,
this guy came in
and bought $100 worth
of lottery tickets.
He called me Lady Luck
or something
and gave me one as a gift.
Is it one of those scratch-offs?
No. It's the Mega
100 Million Dollar Lottery.
-My chicken curry will burn!
-Mom!
Please. Just listen to me.
I've just checked the ticket...
and I have the winning numbers.
I've just won $100 million.
-What?
-What?
-What are you talking about?
-Wait.
[Beeba] Is this real?
Are you serious? [laughs]
[laughing]
-Show me the ticket.
-You won the lottery!
This changes everything.
Thank God you have
a green card, Billu.
You can help us cash it off.
-What should we do?
-Oh, my God!
[all exclaiming]
Should we tell Lush?
-No!
-No.
This must remain
completely secret
until Billu's lawyer
helps us make plans.
Let's get this going!
[all laughing]
What will this mean
for all of us?
Well...
this is rather cozy.
This is where we all live.
All eight of us.
And how many bathrooms
do you have?
One. We manage just fine.
Usually.
Come on in.
We're gonna start
with some ginger ale.
Thank you.
[Lush] Well?
We can live in
our own Sarasota mansion.
I can finally give you
your American dream.
Mr. and Mrs. Rao...
it has been... enlightening
to see how you as Indians
have succeeded in America.
Lush, in another time and place,
we may have been together.
But I will not
accept your proposal.
My family and I have decided
to go back home to India
and live there permanently.
You're not making any sense.
This is the most sense
she's made in a long time.
[Suman] Thank God.
Finally,
something we can all agree upon.
Come on, bro.
[upbeat music]
-To family.
-[all] To family.
[sizzling]
Uncle, after you have
settled the details,
-we'll buy tickets to India.
-[Billu] Let's do it.
There to live
happily ever after.
Rich like sheikhs.
Let's plan to leave
as soon as the dust settles.
-[doorbell ringing]
-[knocking at door]
[Nancy] What did I tell you
about that smell?
It's carrying across the street!
I'll get you evicted.
For real this time.
You won't have to
smell our curry anymore.
You're leaving?
America is not our destiny.
We're going back
to our beloved India.
I will leave you
my curry pot, my spices,
and delicious recipes.
Enjoy curry for yourself.
Yes,
please leave me your recipes.
Maybe I'll learn
how to make a real curry.
You know what else
we do well in India?
Dance.
