Hello,
As asked for by my good friend Soapy, here goes the full dialouge session that Papa Walia had with his forthcoming Munna Walia! I have tried my best to squeez in whatever I could, still would have missed something or the else!
Jai is standing facing the window, he has no expression on his face except pain, the wind is blowing and the curtains in the room are swaying all over! Bani comes from behind and a little timidly calls out his name, stepping forward towards him, he still has his back facing her and says that, "Mr. Walia, main aapse kuch kehne aayi hoon." Jai still has no expression on his face as he turns around to face Bani and she looks increasingly nervous and continues softly yet putting up a brave front, "Aap kuch bhi chahe, main is ghar se nahin jaaoongi." As Bani gulps after saying this to Bani, Jai stares at her for a moment and then begins to advance towards her and keeps walking, staring at her, and Bani looks apprehensive and scared as hell and she keeps moving back till her back hits the Wall, all the while taking his name and Jai closes on to her, his shadow towering over Bani, as she cowers back in fear and confusion as Jai stands still in front of her, his eyes not leaving Bani's face for even a moment!
Jai's hands shiver a bit as he keeps them over Bani's abdomen and Bani looks at him, with moist eyes as Jai's eyes do not leave Bani's Womb and the monologue starts;

ORIGINAL DIALOGUE
"Main nahin jaanta hoon tum ladka ho ya ladki, tum mere bete ho, ya beti, is se mujeh koi farq nahin padta. Main sirf itna jaanta hoon ki tum mera hissa ho, Bani ka hissa ho. Jab tumhari maa aur mein mile the, hum dono ke beech pyaar nahin tha, magar sach toh yeh hai ki, mujhe pata bhi nahin tha ki pyaar kya hota hai. Phir thodi der baad pata chala, jab tumhare toote hue dil ko koi malham lagata hai, toh woh pyar hi toh hota hai. Mujhe nahin pata ki tumhari maa aur main ek doosre se pyar karte hai ya nahin, lekin bina kuch kahe, hum dono ek dosre ko bahut kuch keh sakte hai, humara akelapan hamari zubaan hai, hamara rishta hai.
Hamara rishta pyaar ke rishte se nahin juda hai, yeh rishta do dilo se nahin mila hai, yeh rishta toh do aatma ke milne se bana hai. Mujhe nahin pata ki tum is duniya mein kab aaoge, tumhari maa kahan hogi, tum kise dekhoge, main sirf itna chahta hoon, ki tumhari aankhen tumhari maa ki aakhon ki tarah ho, kyon ke phir tumhari aakhen kabhi jhoot nahin bol paayegi, tumhein tumhari maa ka saaf dil mile aur tum jab bhi gussa karo, us gusse ke peeche bebasi nazar aaegi, bilkul jaise tumhari maa ki aankhon mein nazar aati hai. Tumhein tumhari maa se sacchai milegi, intergrity milegi, vishwaas milega, aadarsh milega, sansakar milenge, pyaar karne ki taaqat milegi...isi ka intezaar hai mujhe.
Main tumse yeh vada nahin kar sakta ki jab tum is duniya mein aaoge, toh tumhari maa aur main ek doosre ke saath honge ya nahin, lekin main tumhein yeh vaada de sakta hoon, tumehin apne aap pe garv hoga, kyon ke tumhein ek aisi maa ne janam diya hoga, jise doosron ke liye jeena aata hai, tumhari maa tumhare liye jiyegi...isi ka intezaar hai mujhe.....Yahi toh...(Jai is not able to complete the sentence as he begins crying openly, through out the scene, his eyes were completley downcast and the whole scene was shot in extreme close-up with only Jai and Bani's face shown)
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
"I don't know whether you are a boy or a girl, my son or my daughter and it doesn't bother me at all. All I know and care for is that you are a part of me and you are a part of Bani. When your Mother and I met, there was no love between us, actually I didn't even know what love was, but when someone heals your broken heart, I think that is what you call and term as Love. I don't know whether your Mother and I love one another, but we seem to understand and speak to one another through our silence and words seems almost unnecesary for both of us, our lonliness is our speech.
Your Mother and I are not bound by any thread of love, nor is our relationship based on the meeting of two hearts, but we are together through our souls, in spirit we are one. I don't know when you will come in this World, where will your Mother be, whom will you see for the first time, but all I want is that you should inherit your Mother's eyes, because then they will never be able to reflect any untruth, you should get your Mother's clear heart, so that whenever you are angry over something, it will reflect your helplessness, just the way I can see the helplessness in your Mother's eyes. I want you to inherit your Mother's truthfullness, her integrity, her faith, her values, her belief system and her capacity to love.
I can't promise you that I will be there when you are born or that your Mother and I will be together or not, but one thing I can promise you is that you will be proud of yourself because you will be born out of a Mother who has lived her life for others and similarly she will live for you, this is what I am waiting for...."

Jai breaks down crying and turns away from Bani, crying away silently, while Bani looks frozen with grief and walks away silently from the room and as she leaves the room, turns to look at Jai with such love and pain in her eyes as Jiya Dhadak Dhadak's sad version plays.....Jai has tears streaming down his face....Bnai goes and keeps her hand on her abdomen and crys away....
Soapy, you made me cry again yaar......😭 Now that I wrote all the dialouges, exact line by line, I am feeling really senti and weepy.....😭
Hope you guys liked this piece....Would love to hear your views on all that Jai spoke to the child!
Love,
