KARAN Naira tune vo kahawat suni hai, ‘All men are dogs'? NAIRA Haan, it's so sexist. KARAN Usme kya sexist hai, kuch ladkiyo ke against thodi bola hai, ladko ki bezti ki hai. NAIRA Ladko ke against bolna bhi sexist hi hota hai! KARAN Ohhh, achha. (beat) Khair, ye statement sexist nahi, incomplete hai. Complete statement is: (dramatically) All men are dogs, when they get a leg piece. Humara Trippy ab Tommy ban chuka hai, he has no free will, he follows his master; the one with the leg! Karan looks at Naira, expecting a response. But doesn't get any as she's lost in a thought. KARAN (CONT'D) Kya sochri hai?

DEEPIKA Nahi bas, samajh gayi main, hogaya breakup. Karan is at a loss of words, unable to figure out Deepika's response. KARAN How can you be so insensitive? Ye bahut galat hai Deepika. It's not me, it's... it's YOU. Deepika looks at him blankly. 2. KARAN (CONT'D) Matlab main itna bura boyfriend tha ki tum reason tak nahi janna chahti? Reason is like Akshay ke notes, sabko milna chahiye. DEEPIKA Par main apne notes khud banati hoon, mujhe nahi chahiye. KARAN Tumhe sacchi koi farak nahi padta main tumhare saath kyu break up kar raha hoon? DEEPIKA (blankly) Nahi, theek hai. (pause) Chaapein khaani hain?
