The Night Before (Kallis & Azhar)

INT. HOTEL ROOM – NIGHT

Kallis languidly dials a number, in between he double checks in his diary, disconnects and then dials again, and then again, this goes on for a long while - cock crows, day breaks, newspaper flies through the window and knocks Kallis...(all this happens in fast motion in a few seconds of course) - Finally Kallis presses Call!

Cut to

INT. AZHAR’S HOME –DAY

Barely has his phone rung once, Azhar does one of his magnificent back flips with the instrument, the phone somersaults as does Azhar and then catches it nonchalantly

AZHAR

(energised)

HowAreTheBoys?

Screen is now split between Kallis’ room and Azhar's home where Sangeeta Bijlani looks on lovingly

KALLIS

(eyes shutting, sleepily)

Azza, I’m at sea again

AZHAR

KALLIS

AZHAR

KALLIS

How come you never made a double Azza?

AZHAR

Boys…

KALLIS

(talking through his sleep)

Yeah? how come? Yeah, yeah...zzzzz

AZHAR

(he recreates the whole scene with phone, imaginary ball and bat)

Beatles' 'Fixing a hole' starts to play and both Kallis and Azhar sing like choir boys; while Sangeeta dances her Bollywood gig around a column as if it were a tree.
