(bell rings) I said don't touch!
(laughs) Go on.
Put it on, go on.
(laughs) Satisfied?
Shall we ring for tea?
Sooni, stop it!
Don't take it off!
You need any assistance, sahib?
No, thank you, Manish.
SOONI: Tell me, uncle, who else occupies this office?
No one but the sahib.
No one but the sahib!
Sooni, go!
I have to work.
I missed you!
Well, if that's how you show it, I pity your husband, whoever he will be.
Oh, pardon me, your reverence!
I thought after two years in Bengal, you might be... What?
Less of a stick-in-the-mud.
You should have seen it, Sooni.
The way people are out there in the rice fields.
They're all thin as sticks.
Little children hungry, with no hope except for more of the same.
And when the rains come down, whole villages washed away, I thought... Where is King and Empire for these lost souls?
Nowhere!
Not to be seen.
So why work for them?
Can you keep a secret?
Depends what it is.
