Moushumi Mazumdar:
I detest American television.
Moushumi Mazumdar:
Not bad, Mr. Ganguli.
Gogol Ganguli:
I'd say we made a killing, Mrs. Ganguli.
Moushumi Mazumdar:
Oh, hold it, hold it. Ms. Mazumdar is the name.
Ashima A. Ganguli:
...Besides, what kind of a girl is called Max, huh?
Lydia Ratliff:
Maybe it's a boy.
Gogol Ganguli:
So I'm two inches away from her. Her luscious lips part. Just as I'm about to kiss her, she looks at me and she says, "What's your name?"
Marc:
Gogol Ganguli.
Gogol Ganguli:
End of seduction 101.
Gogol Ganguli:
[
after being told the origin of his name] Baba, is that what you think of when you think of me? Do I remind you of that night?
Ashoke Ganguli:
Not at all. You remind me of everything that followed. Everyday since then has been a gift... Gogol.
Ashoke Ganguli:
There is something I always wanted to ask you, but never had the courage. All those years ago, why did you say yes to me?
Ashima A. Ganguli:
You were the best of the lot.
Ashoke Ganguli:
Huh?
Ashima A. Ganguli:
Better than the widower with four children or the cartoonist with one arm. I also liked your shoes.
Ashoke Ganguli:
Oh. Oh, okay.
Ashima A. Ganguli:
Hmm, you want me to say "I love you," like the Americans.
Gogol Ganguli:
Who's Pierre?
[
silence]
Gogol Ganguli:
Are you having an affair?
[
more silence]
Moushumi Mazumdar:
Maybe it's not enough that we are both Bengali.
Gogol Ganguli:
That's not why I love you.
Ashoke Ganguli:
Aray Baba, the camera! It is in the car. All this with no picture, huh? You just have to remember it then. Will you remember this day Gogol?
Gogol:
How long do you I to remember it?
Ashoke Ganguli:
[
laughing] Remember it always. Remember that you and I made this journey and went together to a place where there was nowhere left to go.
