Uh-uh. I went to Delhi once.

00:26:21,247 --> 00:26:23,249
Huh?
191
00:26:33,693 --> 00:26:35,503
Here you go.
192
00:26:35,527 --> 00:26:37,505
Thanks. You're welcome.
193
00:26:37,529 --> 00:26:39,608
Come here.
194
00:26:39,632 --> 00:26:41,610
Yeah.
195
00:26:41,634 --> 00:26:42,945
Fish.
196
00:26:42,969 --> 00:26:44,346
Leave it, leave it, leave it.
197
00:26:44,370 --> 00:26:46,238
Come. Come.
198
00:26:56,783 --> 00:26:59,695
Don't go so far
199
00:26:59,719 --> 00:27:01,529
that I cannot see you!
200
00:27:01,553 --> 00:27:03,723
He's too little!
201
00:27:22,775 --> 00:27:24,152
MAN: Welcome to
suburbia, Ashoke.
202
00:27:24,176 --> 00:27:25,721
You have a beautiful
house, Ashoke.
203
00:27:25,745 --> 00:27:27,089
Congratulations.
204
00:27:27,113 --> 00:27:29,224
Everything is bought
in a yard sale.
205
00:27:29,248 --> 00:27:30,793
Ashima does not like it,
206
00:27:30,817 --> 00:27:32,828
but I say, what is wrong
with it, you know?
207
00:27:32,852 --> 00:27:35,898
Even my chairman, who
lives in a huge mansion,
208
00:27:35,922 --> 00:27:38,691
wears a tie he had
bought for 50 cents.
209
00:27:40,392 --> 00:27:42,194
That is America, Ashoke.
210
00:27:43,529 --> 00:27:44,606
Hey, guys.
211
00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:48,210
Hey, kids, catch it.
212
00:27:48,234 --> 00:27:50,202
ASHIMA: Gogol?
213
00:27:51,704 --> 00:27:53,615
Where are you?
214
00:27:53,639 --> 00:27:57,109
Hey, Gogoli.
215
00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:02,257
Poor Baba.
216
00:28:02,281 --> 00:28:04,727
He's probably feeling
very left out
217
00:28:04,751 --> 00:28:07,229
because of his sister
Sonia's naming ceremony.
218
00:28:07,253 --> 00:28:09,164
Is he going to be
called Gogol in school?
219
00:28:09,188 --> 00:28:10,498
No.
220
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:12,267
We have decided on a good name.
221
00:28:12,291 --> 00:28:13,335
Finally.
222
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,602
What is it?
223
00:28:14,626 --> 00:28:16,772
Nikhil. Bah.
224
00:28:16,796 --> 00:28:18,807
The all-encompassing one.
225
00:28:18,831 --> 00:28:22,745
Of course they will turn
it into Nick, you know.
226
00:28:22,769 --> 00:28:24,679
Gogol?
227
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:27,306
Hey, Gogol.
228
00:28:30,076 --> 00:28:31,619
Missing your sister's
ceremony, huh?
229
00:28:31,643 --> 00:28:34,356
Hey, Gogoli.
230
00:28:34,380 --> 00:28:36,091
I found him!
231
00:28:36,115 --> 00:28:38,284
GOGOL: I don't like the baby.
232
00:28:41,754 --> 00:28:44,532
Sonia, eat this.
233
00:28:44,556 --> 00:28:46,201
And now will be
the grand finale.
234
00:28:46,225 --> 00:28:47,135
Ashima.
235
00:28:47,159 --> 00:28:49,161
What will your baby
girl's future be?
236
00:28:54,801 --> 00:28:56,144
She wants everything.
237
00:28:56,168 --> 00:28:58,080
Ask her to pick up the pen.
238
00:28:58,104 --> 00:29:01,016
Hey, Sonia, pick up the pen.
239
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,617
Pick up, pick up. Be
the first female...
240
00:29:02,641 --> 00:29:04,519
Put the dollar in her hand.
241
00:29:04,543 --> 00:29:06,789
Pick up something, Sonia.
242
00:29:06,813 --> 00:29:08,881
American girl must be rich.
243
00:29:14,053 --> 00:29:16,322
She's not picking anything.
244
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:25,841
So...
245
00:29:25,865 --> 00:29:28,476
how did you like your
first day in big school?
246
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:30,678
Great! Oh.
247
00:29:30,702 --> 00:29:33,239
And what is this?
248
00:29:37,309 --> 00:29:40,122
"Due to your son's preference,
249
00:29:40,146 --> 00:29:43,792
"he will be known
as Gogol in school.
250
00:29:43,816 --> 00:29:47,086
Mrs. Lapidis, Principal."
251
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,056
Hmm.
252
00:29:53,993 --> 00:29:56,704
And what about your
parents' preference?
253
00:29:56,728 --> 00:29:58,397
Hmm?
254
00:30:00,666 --> 00:30:03,511
ASHIMA: In this country
the children decide.
255
00:30:03,535 --> 00:30:07,682
He wants to keep Gogol and
not Nikhil as his good name.
256
00:30:07,706 --> 00:30:09,284
Fine.
257
00:30:09,308 --> 00:30:11,177
No big deal.
258
00:30:13,412 --> 00:30:16,758
With a president named Jimmy,
there is nothing we can do.
259
00:30:16,782 --> 00:30:19,518
As long as our kid
is happy, you know.
260
00:30:30,229 --> 00:30:32,564
So late?
261
00:30:34,867 --> 00:30:36,311
Hello.
262
00:30:36,335 --> 00:30:38,137
Hello?
263
00:30:40,973 --> 00:30:43,242
MAN: Hello, Ashoke...
264
00:30:56,088 --> 00:30:59,025
Don't, don't worry, I, I will.
265
00:31:01,660 --> 00:31:05,364
ASHIMA: He told you something
you're not telling me?
266
00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:16,184
Yesterday when your father was
267
00:31:16,208 --> 00:31:18,887
playing patience on his bed,
268
00:31:18,911 --> 00:31:21,380
he died of a heart attack.
269
00:32:00,619 --> 00:32:03,255
♪ ♪
270
00:32:25,444 --> 00:32:26,754
Gogol, go on.
271
00:32:26,778 --> 00:32:29,248
Go on. Look, Baba, Gogol!
272
00:32:30,516 --> 00:32:31,926
Ashima. G-O...
273
00:32:31,950 --> 00:32:35,030
G-O-L!
274
00:32:35,054 --> 00:32:37,465
ASHOKE: Oh, very
good, very good.
275
00:32:37,489 --> 00:32:38,967
Come on, we'll lose the plane.
276
00:32:38,991 --> 00:32:41,027
Huh? Come on, come on.
277
00:33:12,258 --> 00:33:14,326
Push, push, push...
278
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,067
Not your ordinary
guy, Nikolai Gogol.
279
00:33:45,091 --> 00:33:47,093
Hey, Gogol, it's your namesake.
280
00:33:48,627 --> 00:33:50,205
Today, he is respected
281
00:33:50,229 --> 00:33:52,740
as one of Russia's most
brilliant writers,
282
00:33:52,764 --> 00:33:55,343
but in his own lifetime he
was understood by no one.
283
00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:56,811
Least of all himself.
284
00:33:56,835 --> 00:33:57,879
One might say
285
00:33:57,903 --> 00:34:00,315
that he was an eccentric genius.
286
00:34:00,339 --> 00:34:02,084
Yo, Gargle, way to go!
287
00:34:02,108 --> 00:34:03,551
Shut up! Hey, Mr. Hatch!
288
00:34:03,575 --> 00:34:05,053
Mr. Epstein!
289
00:34:05,077 --> 00:34:06,357
I will see you both after class.
290
00:34:06,381 --> 00:34:07,755
Thank you. Out. Come on.
291
00:34:07,779 --> 00:34:09,781
Out.
292
00:34:12,017 --> 00:34:13,995
Thank you,
293
00:34:14,019 --> 00:34:16,398
gentlemen.
294
00:34:16,422 --> 00:34:20,835
Now, Gogol was reputed
to be a hypochondriac.
295
00:34:20,859 --> 00:34:22,270
He was deeply paranoid,
296
00:34:22,294 --> 00:34:24,472
frustrated, friendless.
297
00:34:24,496 --> 00:34:27,409
He never married and he
fathered no children.
298
00:34:27,433 --> 00:34:30,412
Ooh. Towards the end of his life
299
00:34:30,436 --> 00:34:33,014
he proceeded to
commit slow suicide
300
00:34:33,038 --> 00:34:34,706
by starvation. GIRL: What?!
301
00:34:37,106 --> 00:34:38,386
Did you guys know all this stuff
302
00:34:38,410 --> 00:34:39,890
about him when you
decided to name me?
303
00:34:39,914 --> 00:34:42,657
That he was paranoid, suicidal,
friendless, depressed?
304
00:34:42,681 --> 00:34:45,227
ASHOKE: You forgot to
mention that he was
305
00:34:45,251 --> 00:34:47,786
also a genius.
306
00:34:49,721 --> 00:34:51,366
I don't understand
how you guys could
307
00:34:51,390 --> 00:34:53,292
name me after
someone so strange.
308
00:34:56,328 --> 00:34:59,174
And don't call us "guys."
309
00:34:59,198 --> 00:35:00,675
Sometimes when I close my eyes
310
00:35:00,699 --> 00:35:01,709
and listen to you both,
311
00:35:01,733 --> 00:35:04,336
I feel I have given
birth to strangers.
312
00:35:05,904 --> 00:35:07,149
Just because you're graduating
313
00:35:07,173 --> 00:35:09,208
does not mean you can
behave like this, Gogol.
314
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:24,166
So, I'm two inches
away from her.
315
00:35:24,190 --> 00:35:25,967
Her luscious lips part.
316
00:35:25,991 --> 00:35:29,137
Just as I'm about to kiss her...
317
00:35:29,161 --> 00:35:32,807
she looks at me and she says...
318
00:35:32,831 --> 00:35:34,132
"What's your name?"
319
00:35:35,767 --> 00:35:37,679
Gogol Ganguli.
320
00:35:37,703 --> 00:35:39,247
End of Seduction 101.
321
00:35:39,271 --> 00:35:42,450
Plain Jane loves your name.
322
00:35:42,474 --> 00:35:44,152
: Gogol, Gogol, I love you.
323
00:35:44,176 --> 00:35:46,554
Gogol! Oh, Gogol!
324
00:35:46,578 --> 00:35:48,556
Don't bogart that joint, man.
325
00:35:48,580 --> 00:35:50,292
You know, of all the frickin'
326
00:35:50,316 --> 00:35:52,584
Russian writers in
the universe...
327
00:35:55,921 --> 00:35:57,841
why'd they have to go and
choose the weirdest?
328
00:35:57,865 --> 00:36:01,436
What the hell's wrong
with Leo or Anton?
329
00:36:01,460 --> 00:36:04,706
Shit. You know, I just want
to sit 'em down and be, like,
330
00:36:04,730 --> 00:36:07,475
"Man, Gogol is your
favorite author, not mine."
331
00:36:07,499 --> 00:36:09,477
Shit.
332
00:36:09,501 --> 00:36:10,845
What?
333
00:36:10,869 --> 00:36:13,305
I got the thing. Oh, shit.
334
00:36:14,806 --> 00:36:16,784
Hey, where you going?
335
00:36:16,808 --> 00:36:18,152
See ya!
336
00:36:18,176 --> 00:36:20,021
Good-bye, Air India!
337
00:36:20,045 --> 00:36:22,424
Whoo-hoo!
338
00:36:22,448 --> 00:36:24,350
(woman singing in
native language on TV)
339
00:36:30,322 --> 00:36:31,466
: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
340
00:36:31,490 --> 00:36:33,959
They have been here for
two hours already. Come.
341
00:36:35,827 --> 00:36:37,572
This is our son, Gogol.
342
00:36:37,596 --> 00:36:40,074
Sorry I'm late.
ASHOKE: Hey, Gogol.
343
00:36:40,098 --> 00:36:42,009
Mr. and Mrs. Mazumdar,
they just moved
344
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:43,478
into New York from London.
345
00:36:43,502 --> 00:36:45,571
Oh, wow, that's far.
346
00:36:46,872 --> 00:36:49,183
WOMAN: Hey, Gogol...
347
00:36:49,207 --> 00:36:51,577
Hey, Mira Mashi. I'll
show you something.
348
00:36:52,611 --> 00:36:54,646
And this is our
daughter, Moushumi.
349
00:36:56,648 --> 00:36:59,394
Both the same age also. Oh.
350
00:36:59,418 --> 00:37:00,962
They'll have a lot in common.
351
00:37:00,986 --> 00:37:02,964
Oh, I'm sure.
352
00:37:02,988 --> 00:37:04,198
GOGOL: Hi.
353
00:37:04,222 --> 00:37:05,533
: Hello.
354
00:37:05,557 --> 00:37:07,835
What are you reading?
355
00:37:07,859 --> 00:37:09,437
Bonjour Tristesse.
356
00:37:09,461 --> 00:37:12,073
In French. Oh...
357
00:37:12,097 --> 00:37:13,999
Want to go watch some TV?
358
00:37:15,501 --> 00:37:19,080
I detest American television.
359
00:37:19,104 --> 00:37:21,383
MIRA MASHI: Gogol...
360
00:37:21,407 --> 00:37:24,151
Come and sit next
to your Mira Mashi.
361
00:37:24,175 --> 00:37:26,878
Come. Come.
362
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,282
Why are your eyes so red?
363
00:37:33,485 --> 00:37:35,897
Someone's envy has definitely...
364
00:37:35,921 --> 00:37:37,031
I'm fine.
365
00:37:37,055 --> 00:37:39,100
Ashima...
366
00:37:39,124 --> 00:37:40,302
Chilies.
367

Nicky?
368
00:37:47,499 --> 00:37:49,477
Hmm. Oh, Mira Mashi.
369
00:37:49,501 --> 00:37:52,246
I promise you there
are no evil eyes
370
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:53,948
in the United States of America.
371
00:37:53,972 --> 00:37:56,217
That is what you think.

00:53:01,078 --> 00:53:03,514
What are you trying to say?
559
00:53:04,949 --> 00:53:08,185
I'd like to change my name
back to my good name.
560
00:53:09,220 --> 00:53:12,065
ASHIMA: What is done is done.
561
00:53:12,089 --> 00:53:14,167
Now Gogol has become
your good name.
562
00:53:14,191 --> 00:53:15,736
It's too complicated now.
563
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:16,737
You're too old.
564
00:53:16,761 --> 00:53:18,839
And anyway, you
have only yourself
565
00:53:18,863 --> 00:53:20,607
to blame. Oh, yeah.
566
00:53:20,631 --> 00:53:22,843
It's my fault 'cause I
was four years old?
567
00:53:22,867 --> 00:53:24,511
That's right, Goggles.
568
00:53:24,535 --> 00:53:25,836
Ow!
569
00:53:27,405 --> 00:53:30,116
Anything is possible in America.
570
00:53:30,140 --> 00:53:33,210
Do as you wish.
571
00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:05,410
An excellent choice, sir.
572
00:54:27,865 --> 00:54:29,743
GOGOL: I'm home.
573
00:54:29,767 --> 00:54:30,944
Hi, Nick.
574
00:54:30,968 --> 00:54:32,579
Hello.
575
00:54:32,603 --> 00:54:34,981
Hi, Lydia. How you doing?
576
00:54:35,005 --> 00:54:36,583
Good. Have you got it?
577
00:54:36,607 --> 00:54:38,543
Yup.
578
00:54:39,977 --> 00:54:41,288
Where's my girl?
579
00:54:41,312 --> 00:54:43,256
Where's my Master of Fine Arts?
580
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,091
Congratulations.
581
00:54:45,115 --> 00:54:46,851
Thank you, Daddy.
582
00:54:49,487 --> 00:54:51,432
Thank you all so
much for coming.
583
00:54:51,456 --> 00:54:53,367
This means so much to me.
584
00:54:53,391 --> 00:54:55,626
Drink! Celebrate!
585
00:54:57,294 --> 00:54:58,905
Beep, beep! Excuse me, darling.
Sorry.
586
00:54:58,929 --> 00:55:00,240
Ooh. There we go.
587
00:55:00,264 --> 00:55:01,675
Cake?
588
00:55:01,699 --> 00:55:03,276
I still can't believe
it's over already.
589
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:04,745
Hey. I'm gonna get a drink.
590
00:55:04,769 --> 00:55:06,112
Hi.
591
00:55:06,136 --> 00:55:07,681
Nick.
592
00:55:07,705 --> 00:55:09,640
Open it.
593
00:55:16,313 --> 00:55:17,624
You like it?
594
00:55:17,648 --> 00:55:19,360
Yeah. It's beautiful.
595
00:55:19,384 --> 00:55:22,095
LYDIA: Hello!
596
00:55:22,119 --> 00:55:25,732
Oh, I want you to meet the
young Indian architect
597
00:55:25,756 --> 00:55:27,334
who has so captured
Maxine's heart.
598
00:55:27,358 --> 00:55:28,535
Oh.
599
00:55:28,559 --> 00:55:30,671
This is Pam Burton, a
dear college friend,
600
00:55:30,695 --> 00:55:33,273
and this is Nikhil Ganguli.
How do you do?
601
00:55:33,297 --> 00:55:34,408
Maxine, look who's here.
602
00:55:34,432 --> 00:55:37,478
It's very nice to meet you.
603
00:55:37,502 --> 00:55:39,112
You, as well.
604
00:55:39,136 --> 00:55:41,515
Now, how old were you when
you moved to America?
605
00:55:41,539 --> 00:55:43,379
I was actually born in New York.
I'm from here.
606
00:55:43,403 --> 00:55:46,019
I once had a girlfriend
who went to India.
607
00:55:46,043 --> 00:55:48,389
Came back thin as a rail.
608
00:55:48,413 --> 00:55:49,756
I'm sure.
609
00:55:49,780 --> 00:55:51,649
I was horribly envious of her!
610
00:55:55,586 --> 00:55:58,355
Don't your parents want you
to marry a nice Indian girl?
611
00:55:59,289 --> 00:56:01,125
I don't care what they want.
612
00:56:04,294 --> 00:56:06,363
This is what I want.
613
00:56:21,712 --> 00:56:22,823
Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick,
614
00:56:22,847 --> 00:56:24,415
Nick, Nick, Nick,
Nick, Nick, Nick...
615
00:56:27,452 --> 00:56:28,962
ASHIMA: Sally gave them to me
616
00:56:28,986 --> 00:56:31,965
before anybody else could
check them out, huh?
617
00:56:31,989 --> 00:56:35,569
Ah. Reading Chekhov.
618
00:56:35,593 --> 00:56:39,740
What perks I get from
my wife, the librarian.
619
00:56:39,764 --> 00:56:40,764
Mmm.
620
00:56:42,266 --> 00:56:43,744
MAN: What, are you blind?
621
00:56:43,768 --> 00:56:45,679
MAN: Today, huh?
622
00:56:45,703 --> 00:56:47,448
Uh...
623
00:56:47,472 --> 00:56:50,383
WOMAN: Hey! MAN: Lady,
get out of the way!
624
00:56:50,407 --> 00:56:51,818
(speaking native language)
625
00:56:51,842 --> 00:56:53,754
You have to learn
to drive faster.
626
00:56:53,778 --> 00:56:55,656
Don't talk to me.
627
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,659
I will have an accident, huh?
628
00:56:58,683 --> 00:57:01,218
If you keep on driving like this,
you will have an accident.
629
00:57:12,797 --> 00:57:16,109
Everything's fine, Mom.
630
00:57:16,133 --> 00:57:17,844
Mom, why are you calling me?
Hey, hon.
631
00:57:17,868 --> 00:57:20,046
ASHIMA: Because you're
not at your apartment.
632
00:57:20,070 --> 00:57:20,981
Shh, whoa.
633
00:57:21,005 --> 00:57:23,584
You are never at your
apartment, Gogol.
634
00:57:23,608 --> 00:57:24,885
In the middle of the night,
635
00:57:24,909 --> 00:57:26,987
I have called and
you are not there.
636
00:57:27,011 --> 00:57:28,088
I am, Ma.
637
00:57:28,112 --> 00:57:29,055
I need my sleep.
638
00:57:29,079 --> 00:57:31,224
I turn off the phone.
639
00:57:31,248 --> 00:57:32,358
Ooh.
640
00:57:32,382 --> 00:57:33,560
Gogol, are you there?
641
00:57:33,584 --> 00:57:35,428
Yeah, yeah, I'm here, I'm here.
642
00:57:35,452 --> 00:57:37,831
I want you to come
home next Saturday.
643
00:57:37,855 --> 00:57:39,132
Then you can come with us
644
00:57:39,156 --> 00:57:40,901
to the airport the next day.
645
00:57:40,925 --> 00:57:42,368
Baba is going to teach in Ohio
646
00:57:42,392 --> 00:57:43,470
for six months.
647
00:57:43,494 --> 00:57:44,771
You remember or not?
648
00:57:44,795 --> 00:57:46,635
Yeah, I remember, Mom,
but what's the big deal?
649
00:57:46,659 --> 00:57:48,141
He's only going to Cleveland.
650
00:57:48,165 --> 00:57:49,442
Sonia's not coming home.
651
00:57:49,466 --> 00:57:51,536
Sonia lives in
California, Gogol.
652
00:57:53,504 --> 00:57:55,516
: Mom, I can't come
home that weekend.
653
00:57:55,540 --> 00:57:57,450
I'm going on a vacation
with my girlfriend.
654
00:57:57,474 --> 00:58:00,578
Her parents have a
place in Oyster Bay.
655
00:58:03,748 --> 00:58:05,516
Mom?
656
00:58:16,126 --> 00:58:18,138
Would you mind if we went
to go see my parents
657
00:58:18,162 --> 00:58:19,405
on the way to Oyster Bay?
658
00:58:19,429 --> 00:58:20,909
You mean I'd finally
get to meet them?
659
00:58:20,933 --> 00:58:22,008
Mm-hmm.
660
00:58:22,032 --> 00:58:23,443
I'd love to, baby.
661
00:58:23,467 --> 00:58:25,536
: Oh, that's too much.
662
00:58:28,405 --> 00:58:30,975
I'm back...
663
00:58:33,778 --> 00:58:35,756
You know, he is willing
to go on vacation
664
00:58:35,780 --> 00:58:38,458
with someone else's parents,
665
00:58:38,482 --> 00:58:40,426
but not to see his own.
666
00:58:40,450 --> 00:58:42,829
Oh, forget it, this is America.
667
00:58:42,853 --> 00:58:46,090
As soon as the kids
turn 16, they're gone.
668
00:58:48,392 --> 00:58:49,936
I lost the company of my parents
669
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:54,641
when I first came
to this country.
670
00:58:54,665 --> 00:58:59,045
Now I feel I'm losing my
family all over again.
671
00:58:59,069 --> 00:59:03,784
Besides, what kind of a
girl is called Max, huh?
672
00:59:03,808 --> 00:59:06,010
Maybe it's a boy.
673
00:59:07,945 --> 00:59:10,123
There are some things
you should know.
674
00:59:10,147 --> 00:59:12,158
Um, no kissing,
no holding hands.
675
00:59:12,182 --> 00:59:13,894
My parents are not
Lydia and Gerald.
676
00:59:13,918 --> 00:59:16,162
I've never seen them touch,
let alone anything else.
677
00:59:16,186 --> 00:59:17,230
A little depressing.
678
00:59:17,254 --> 00:59:18,431
Ah, a little bit.
679
00:59:18,455 --> 00:59:22,035
You know, you really don't
have to get all this stuff.
680
00:59:22,059 --> 00:59:23,804
Come on, why are you
getting truffles?
681
00:59:23,828 --> 00:59:25,338
God, they won't like
them, will they?
682
00:59:25,362 --> 00:59:26,239
: No.
683
00:59:26,263 --> 00:59:29,033
Come on, Nick, everyone
loves truffles.
684
00:59:30,267 --> 00:59:32,412
GOGOL: Ma, we're here.
685
00:59:32,436 --> 00:59:35,582
Ma.
686
00:59:35,606 --> 00:59:37,751
Hi.
687
00:59:37,775 --> 00:59:38,785
Ma, this is Maxine.
688
00:59:38,809 --> 00:59:40,153
Max, this is my mother.
689
00:59:40,177 --> 00:59:41,054
Hello, Ashima.
690
00:59:41,078 --> 00:59:44,958
It's so nice to
finally meet you.
691
00:59:44,982 --> 00:59:46,727
Mm.
692
00:59:46,751 --> 00:59:48,929
These are for you and Ashoke.
693
00:59:48,953 --> 00:59:50,063
Oh.
694
00:59:50,087 --> 00:59:52,432
There was no need.
695
00:59:52,456 --> 00:59:53,466
Thank you.
696
00:59:53,490 --> 00:59:54,367
Please come in.
697
00:59:54,391 --> 00:59:56,326
Come. Thank you.
698
00:59:59,997 --> 01:00:01,365
Please sit.
699
01:00:03,433 --> 01:00:05,202
I will get drinks.
700
01:00:06,671 --> 01:00:07,748
It's nice. Thank you.
701
01:00:07,772 --> 01:00:09,149
This is where you grew up, huh?
702
01:00:09,173 --> 01:00:10,207
Yeah.
703
01:00:23,153 --> 01:00:24,931
Thank you. Nikhil's
father is upstairs
704
01:00:24,955 --> 01:00:28,268
with the man from
the alarm company.
705
01:00:28,292 --> 01:00:30,570
Why on Earth are you
getting a security system?
706
01:00:30,594 --> 01:00:33,874
It was your father's idea, now
that I will be on my own.
707
01:00:33,898 --> 01:00:36,710
You know, even in
good areas like this,
708
01:00:36,734 --> 01:00:38,411
these days there are crimes.
709
01:00:38,435 --> 01:00:39,646
Ashima,
710
01:00:39,670 --> 01:00:41,347
I've been admiring
what you're wearing.
711
01:00:41,371 --> 01:00:42,282
Is this,
712
01:00:42,306 --> 01:00:43,850
uh, a kanta?
713
01:00:43,874 --> 01:00:45,752
: Oh, yes.
714
01:00:45,776 --> 01:00:46,987
I grew up with fabrics.
715
01:00:47,011 --> 01:00:49,222
My mother curates
textiles at the Met.
716
01:00:49,246 --> 01:00:50,991
The Met?
717
01:00:51,015 --> 01:00:52,558
The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
718
01:00:52,582 --> 01:00:54,094
You remember, Ma,
I took you there.
719
01:00:54,118 --> 01:00:57,330
It's the museum with all the
steps and the Egyptian temple.
720
01:00:57,354 --> 01:00:59,900
Uh-huh, I remember.
721
01:00:59,924 --> 01:01:02,535
My father was also an artist.
722
01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:04,738
That painting you're
seeing there...
723
01:01:04,762 --> 01:01:07,407
that is his painting.
724
01:01:07,431 --> 01:01:09,042
Oh, it's nice.
725
01:01:09,066 --> 01:01:10,443
MAN: We're all set, Mr. Ganguli.
726
01:01:10,467 --> 01:01:13,446
ASHOKE: So it'll be installed
tomorrow, all right?
727
01:01:13,470 --> 01:01:15,581
Uh-huh.
728
01:01:15,605 --> 01:01:16,717
Let me give you a receipt.
729
01:01:16,741 --> 01:01:18,551
Hmm, it's really lovely.
730
01:01:18,575 --> 01:01:21,411
Thank you, Mr. Odin.
731
01:01:23,948 --> 01:01:25,692
GOGOL: Hey, Baba.
732
01:01:25,716 --> 01:01:26,693
Hi.
733
01:01:26,717 --> 01:01:27,894
This is Maxine.
734
01:01:27,918 --> 01:01:29,863
Max, this is my father.
735
01:01:29,887 --> 01:01:31,388
Hello. Hello, Ashoke.
736
01:01:37,705 --> 01:01:38,705
How are you?
737
01:01:38,729 --> 01:01:40,673
Fine.
738
01:01:40,697 --> 01:01:42,332

Hmm.
740

food I've ever tasted.
741
01:01:54,344 --> 01:01:56,504

cooking for the past two days.

Breyer's, would you?
746
01:02:17,534 --> 01:02:19,203
Sure.
747
01:02:20,370 --> 01:02:21,714
I'll come with you.
748
01:02:21,738 --> 01:02:23,978
Why don't you stay here and
keep Nikhil's mother company?
749
01:02:24,002 --> 01:02:26,186
We'll be back in no time.
750
01:02:26,210 --> 01:02:27,477
Yes? Okay.

something before I leave
752
01:02:35,652 --> 01:02:38,155
for my semester in Ohio.
753
01:02:39,056 --> 01:02:41,802
It is about your name.
754
01:02:41,826 --> 01:02:43,336
My name?
755
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,306
Yeah, Gogol.

759

760
01:02:53,770 --> 01:02:56,073
It is more than that.
761
01:02:57,307 --> 01:02:59,343
It was, uh...
762
01:03:00,410 --> 01:03:04,882
1974 when I was a
student in Calcutta.
763
01:03:07,051 --> 01:03:09,129
Every year I would take
the train to visit
764
01:03:09,153 --> 01:03:11,956
my grandfather in Dungarpur.
765
01:03:14,758 --> 01:03:18,829
I carried one book with me
to read on the journey.
766
01:03:19,830 --> 01:03:21,842
Gogol?
767
01:03:21,866 --> 01:03:25,502
Yes, The Overcoat.
768
01:03:26,636 --> 01:03:30,183
So, in the train late at night,
769
01:03:30,207 --> 01:03:32,418
a Mr. Ghosh befriended me.
770
01:03:32,442 --> 01:03:35,021

me to leave India...
771
01:03:35,045 --> 01:03:36,522
I was in England
for two years...
772
01:03:36,546 --> 01:03:41,261
and I just wanted to
get back to my book.
773
01:03:41,285 --> 01:03:45,298
My grandfather always says
that is what books are for:
774
01:03:45,322 --> 01:03:48,525
to travel without
moving an inch.
775
01:03:50,694 --> 01:03:53,898

On the road.
827
01:08:11,488 --> 01:08:14,434
In rented vans, we would
travel with Bengali families
828
01:08:14,458 --> 01:08:16,169
to see other Bengali families,
829
01:08:16,193 --> 01:08:18,204

And when it was time to eat,
we would pull over again
832
01:08:23,633 --> 01:08:26,412
at some rest stop and pull out
a nine-course Indian meal
833
01:08:26,436 --> 01:08:28,316
from a bunch of tiffins
when all I really wanted
834
01:08:28,340 --> 01:08:29,715
was McDonald's to begin with.
835
01:08:29,739 --> 01:08:31,384
It was kind of fun,
though, you know,
836

I'm the intern who first
examined your husband.

I have been holding
on for half an hour.
922

Is my husband still
there, or has he gone?
923
01:15:57,253 --> 01:15:59,031
He said he will phone me.

He was not there for emergency.

Yeah.

I remember the kitchen.
1101
01:31:50,606 --> 01:31:54,452

blue cupboards.
1102

Yeah, those are still there.
1103

You know, Sonia's been living

Paris for New York?

Of course they will.
Of course, Mom.
1274
01:46:15,603 --> 01:46:17,415
I want to be free.
1275
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:19,617
Mm-hmm, like your name.

GOGOL: What do you mean?
1277
01:46:21,175 --> 01:46:23,353
Ashima means "without borders."
1278
01:46:23,377 --> 01:46:25,079
"Limitless."
1279
01:46:40,327 --> 01:46:41,405

Hey, Ma. What's up?
1282
01:46:44,799 --> 01:46:47,511
Uh, Gogol, there's a
buyer for the house.
1283
01:46:47,535 --> 01:46:48,846
Are they meeting your price?
1284
01:46:48,870 --> 01:46:50,080
Yes.
1285
01:46:50,104 --> 01:46:51,381
Then do it, Ma.
1286
01:46:51,405 --> 01:46:54,852
I have told them they will have
to wait until after Christmas.
1287
01:46:54,876 --> 01:46:56,920
Both of you are
coming, aren't you?
1288
01:46:56,944 --> 01:46:58,055
Of course.
1289
01:46:58,079 --> 01:47:00,858
It will be the last party
at Pemberton Road.
1290
01:47:00,882 --> 01:47:03,451
I know.
1291
01:47:13,528 --> 01:47:15,205
I don't see it.
1292
01:47:15,229 --> 01:47:17,131
Ooh.
1293
01:47:20,234 --> 01:47:22,379
So, this year...
1294
01:47:22,403 --> 01:47:23,881
Mm-hmm.
1295
01:47:23,905 --> 01:47:27,751
They're renting a house in
the Pyrenees for the summer.
1296
01:47:27,775 --> 01:47:28,819
Oh.
1297
01:47:28,843 --> 01:47:30,754
And I told them we
might join them.
1298
01:47:30,778 --> 01:47:32,956
Astrid and Donald for
an entire summer.
1299
01:47:32,980 --> 01:47:34,424
Can't.
1300
01:47:34,448 --> 01:47:36,527
Yeah, but the Pyrenees
are so beautiful.
1301
01:47:36,551 --> 01:47:37,928
Pierre says it's possibly...
1302
01:47:37,952 --> 01:47:39,854
Who's Pierre?
1303
01:47:45,927 --> 01:47:47,228
Hmm?
1304
01:47:52,399 --> 01:47:54,802
Are you having an affair?
1305
01:47:58,940 --> 01:48:00,851
Are you?
1306
01:48:00,875 --> 01:48:03,110
(train cars whirring
and rattling)
1307
01:48:05,246 --> 01:48:07,048
Who is he?
1308
01:48:08,850 --> 01:48:12,329
Someone I've known a long time.
1309
01:48:12,353 --> 01:48:13,655
Why?!
1310
01:48:18,492 --> 01:48:20,437
I saw myself becoming my mother.
1311
01:48:20,461 --> 01:48:23,565
I saw myself stuck.
1312
01:48:28,235 --> 01:48:32,239
Look, maybe it's not enough
that we're both Bengali.
1313
01:48:38,345 --> 01:48:40,181
That's not why I love you.
1314
01:49:01,736 --> 01:49:03,881
So, when are you giving
us the good news?
1315
01:49:03,905 --> 01:49:05,185
Just because your mother's going
1316
01:49:05,209 --> 01:49:07,184
doesn't mean you have
to forget about us.
1317
01:49:07,208 --> 01:49:08,385
Yes. You must come over.
1318
01:49:08,409 --> 01:49:10,020

1319
