Beauty catches sight of herself in a mirror. Seeing herself in the pomegranate-pink churidar, designer jewellery and styled hair, she gets thoughtful:
"Kuch mahine pehle jab main Mumbai aayi thi, tab mein aur ab mein, kitna fark aa gaya hai….ab mujhme aatm-vishwaas hai, meri zindagi mein pyaar hai….aur isme bahut bada haath, Raj sir ka bhi hai…..aaj ke din toh mujhe unke saath kuch waqt guzaarna chahiye…"
She turns to look for Raj, and bumps straight into Pari, who is eavesdropping on them.
Both glare at each other before Beauty walks away with a scornful toss of her long hair.
Pari makes her way to Jassi and Neha. "Hell-ooo Jassi!"
Jassi: (sighing) Hello Pari. (turns to Neha immediately)
Pari stands glowering for a few seconds, then clears her throat to catch attention.
Jassi: (annoyed) Pari, koi problem hai kya?
Pari: (fluttering her eyelashes) Problem? Mujhe? Not at all! (pause) Lekin tumhe bahut jald ho sakti hai….tum dono ko in fact!
Neha: (sharply) What do you mean?
Pari: We-ll…..kya tum dono ko pata hai ki Armaan aur Raj iss waqt kahaan jaane ka plan bana rahe hai?
The other two stare at her.
Pari: Tumhe nahin pata? Oh oh…well koi baat nahin…main kisliye hun (Jassi suppresses a smile) …dono bachelor party mein ja rahe hai!
The two middle-class ladies apparently don't understand this, for they look blankly at Pari.
Neha: Bachelor party?
Pari: Omigosh….how downmarket….tumhe yehi nahin pata ki bachelor party kya hoti hai….
Jassi glares at her.
Pari: Ok, ok! Bachelor party ek all-men party hoti hai jo kisi aadmi ki shaadi se pehle rakkhi jaati hai….taaki wo uss party mein apni wo saari hasratein poori kar le, jo shaadi ke baad nahin kar sakta… in other words, uske andar ke janwar ko baahar aane ka poora mauka mil jaata hai!!
Jassi and Neha look at her dumbfounded.
