Dravid enters a dark hotel room on one of the higher floors. Kumble sits on a lone chair overlooking the bright lights of the city. He is unusually twitchy as he plays with the table lamp switch: on, off, on, off...
Dravid: Am I disturbing?
Kumble: No, but I am disturbed
Dravid: Anything I can tell you…
Kumble: You can’t handle your own demons, what will you…sorry
Dravid: You sound bitter…
Kumble: I am…that dumbass CLT20 ad they made me do…the Hindi they made me speak..
Dravid: Oh…read a book, it always works for me..
Kumble: Next you’ll say read Premchand…drop the…
Dravid: OK, don’t worry da…you remember what they used to say about you first..
Kumble: Yeah, that I’m not a natural spinner…I can’t spin the ball…that sh**.. excuse my language, not myself today…
Dravid: F*** it da, sorry…didn’t mean to swear…what I meant was…
Kumble: I get it! Even if they say I’m not a natural Hindi spinner…I will go on to do 619 Hindi ads…Hahaha I like that
Dravid: Haha I like that too
Kumble: Thanks Da.. Jammy
Dravid: Don’t mention it Da…Jumbo…
Kishore Kumar’s Hip Hip Ho Ho Hurra plays, as a silhouetted Jammy and Jumbo dance, very much out of character, in the dark room. A moon beam follows them.
A Happy Ending For Jammy & Jumbo!

"Da" is usually used in TN, the alternative word used for that in Blore is "Maga".
Sujan,
RD is more comfortable with Tamil than Kannada.
Is it? I've heard him speaking in Kannada many a times. Speaks fluently. But then when 75% of Bangalore is filled with Tamilians, not a surprise if guys prefer Tamil over my mother tongue.
