Masaba Masaba (2020) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Ma'am, sorry. I hope the noise
from the kitchen didn't wake you.
No, man.
Actually, I haven't slept so well
in such a long time.
Thank you for letting me stay.
I tried everyone's phone last night
but no one picked up.
I didn't even have any cards or ID.
Ma'am, please
You're most welcome.
Ma'am, actually,
I didn't know your preference,
so I got both, the wheat ones
as well as the chocolate ones.
Ma'am, actually the grocer
only had regular milk
and no almond milk.
Listen, this is great,
there's no need for so much formality.
Ma'am, sorry, the house is such a mess.
The house help hasn't come
for two days, it's your first time here.
I must be making such a bad impression.
-I'm so sorry, ma'am.
-Gehna! I love your home!
Ma'am, are you joking?
No, why would I joke?
I'm serious. I'm actually jealous of it.
You know,
I've never had a house of my own.
I was either living with Vinay or my mom.
Seeing your home,
I'm inspired to have my own space,
which I will decorate.
Ma'am, then why don't I call my broker?
Ma'am, he found me a house in two days!
-Two days?
-Yes, ma'am!
Okay, why not. Let's try.
Ma'am, we're definitely
at the right building.
Why don't you pick up your phone?
We've been waiting outside for ages!
Madam, it's a fully furnished
two-bedroom house.
With modern decor. And as you can see,
the chandelier comes in three colors:
white, blue and red.
Do you see this grass?
So soft.
And you can even pick herbs for cooking
right off the wall.
It's newly constructed, madam.
It'll be finished in two-three days.
Look at the quality of this plywood!
Also, it's an Indian-style toilet.
That's fine with you, right?
Isn't the rent a little too good?
Was someone murdered here?
Not at all, madam,
nothing scary like murders.
Just a suicide, don't worry.
But just look at the view!
Don't think so much.
Why don't you just call her?
Why should I do it? She can also call.
Both mother and daughter are alike.
Madam, one minute.
So, what happened about Geetika's fitting?
Ma'am, these are the two options,
have a look.
Madam, you know how difficult
it is for single ladies.
No one wants them as tenants!
But the landlord of this place is great.
He only wants single ladies!
Clearly.
Madam, look how soft the bed is!
Padma.
I'm not calling her.
I'm not getting in the middle
of this fight.
I swear to God, this is the last time
I get you a client!
Relax, I understand madam's taste now.
Wait till you see the next house!
You won't be disappointed.
Madam, where will you get such property?
That too at this price.
Can I tell you a secret, madam?
It's a very lucky flat.
Any single lady who comes to live here,
gets married super quick!
The last one got hitched
in three months, madam!
Fine, fine. When can I meet the owner?
Give me two-three hours,
I'll quickly arrange a meeting.
We'll lock this deal today, don't worry.
I think Mom will like it, too,
don't you think?
Yeah.
Yes, I'm sure she'll love it.
Thank you, brother.
You saved me from complete embarrassment.
I told you I understood her taste.
-Didn't disappoint you, did I?
-No.
Told you!
"New house, new beginnings."
I see.
Shit.
-Hello?
-Ms. Neena!
How are you?
To what do I owe this pleasure?
To the fact
that you've forgotten about me?
Not at all, I think about you always!
Rubbish!
Everyone is getting cast except for me!
I just saw on Instagram.
They cast Ratna in Saat Samundar Paar.
I could've also done that role!
Ms. Neena, I did recommend you
to the producer.
But you live in Delhi, right?
But I don't live in Delhi!
For the last 30 years
I have been living in Bombay!
Oh, no, I'm so sorry, Ms. Neena.
We thought you moved to Delhi
after your wedding.
No, please, no. I stay here!
Okay? Please remember.
Thank you very much.
We will definitely call you henceforth.
Please.
Madam
The deposit for the new house
is three lakh rupees.
Yeah, so?
So, is the payment to be done
from your joint account with Vinay sir?
No, from mine, of course.
Then there's a problem.
If the deposit goes from your account
then you can say goodbye
to everyone's salary.
You couldn't talk to me about this
in my cabin?
Ma'am, it's the broker!
Yes, tell me.
Madam, that apartment,
it's not that great.
You know what?
I'll show you another one that's great!
What wasn't great? I liked it.
There's risk associated
with celebrity tenants.
What do you mean?
Drugs, party, etc., happens everyday.
They walk around the society
dressed in weird clothes.
It's a bad influence on kids.
What the fuck do you mean?
I'm not saying that, madam.
The owners of the house are.
Just leave it. I'll get you another house.
What do you mean
you'll "get me another one"?
And what if we encounter
the same problem for that one?
Single, not okay. Divorcee, not okay.
Celebrity, not okay.
-Is it even okay that I'm human?
-Madam, why are you getting upset?
Look, you are a celebrity
and you are single.
Double danger, right?
There will always be issues.
But I'm here. Listen to me.
You should draft a contract
stating you are married.
And get your husband's signature.
That's hardly a big deal, right?
You want me to get his signature
while we're in the middle of a divorce?
I mean, if you guys can't stand each other
then I can try another way.
Excuse me, I'm not interested
in your dubious solutions!
I've told you from the beginning
that I want the house just for myself.
If it was always going to be a problem
then why did you show me so many houses
and waste my time, you cunt!
Hi.
That was fucking cool!
-Language.
-You're not my dad!
-Don't tell me what to do.
-Behave.
And who's this little delight?
This is Pax, my ex-wife's daughter.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Would you give us a moment,
little delight?
Would you like a tour, Pax?
Gehna.
-Just show Pax around, please?
-Definitely.
Show her Kareena's gown
for the IIFA Awards.
Sure.
Come.
Have you started on your new collection?
The fashion show is in two months.
Yeah, I mean, I'm 80% there so
You're either there or you're not.
It's a creative process, Dhairya.
It's not so black and white.
But it is.
It's a simple yes or no question.
Do you have an idea
for your new collection?
-I mean, I'm trying and I--
-Masaba!
Yes or no?
No, okay?
Look, it's not like I haven't been trying.
I've been trying
and it's just not coming to me.
I know you have a lot going on
in your personal life right now.
I think you should get somebody else
to help you?
Maybe collaborate with?
You want someone else to come
and design the new Masaba collection?
I just said "collaborate."
Okay. And who was "collaborating" with you
when you were going through your divorce?
We all have our ways of handling things.
I'm sure by "we" you mean men, right?
And women just become
hysterical damsels in distress!
Nobody thinks women can do anything
on their own!
I mean, you can't get a collection done
without a collaborator,
you can't get a house without a husband.
I mean, I've looked at 20,000 houses today
and they just won't give it to a woman
who's single or famous!
I mean, what am I gonna do?
I'll maintain it, take care of it,
put up nice curtains
What am I, a tenant from hell?
I'm sorry, am I boring you?
Why are you texting me?
That's my friend's number.
He's leasing his house.
You should check it out
when you have the time.
And maybe then, you can get started
on your new collection.
Padma.
Should I put up this picture or this one?
-Show me the first one.
-This one or this one?
Both are nice!
But I want to post one!
But
Pick any one!
God, I want to post just one! Stupid.
But both are nice! I can't pick!
Can you show me the house in the evening?
All right, I'll come then.
It's Tuesday! It's Tuesday!
So?
So it's the day to day-drink.
-Gia, that's on Sunday.
-I know.
I can't wait till Sunday to celebrate,
okay?
I've finally locked my menu,
and I've just booked a standup comedian.
She's not that popular,
but I think people will come, right?
That's awesome! Congratulations.
But I cannot drink at work.
Dhairya is breathing down my neck,
and I have no new ideas
for the new collection.
Okay, you won't get drunk with one sip.
Drink.
Okay, okay.
Were you talking to the broker?
More like a caretaker.
He's going to show me the house
this evening.
What's the rush?
Stay at mine for a few days.
We haven't had a sleepover in so long.
I just feel like I need my own space, Gia.
You know, somewhere
I can hear myself think
"New item has arrived in the market.
Would look nice along with the iron."
Okay, don't stay with me but
do me a favor, please.
Made these invites for opening night so
Just look at them
through your designer lens
and give me some feedback, okay? See.
Send it across,
I'll get the girls to work on it.
Got it?
Yes, I got it.
So, when will you send it by?
"Meet me at Kamala Mills in 20 minutes.
I'll inspire you."
You seem really busy.
So
Next time I'll make an appointment.
Shut up, Gia.
Okay, listen, I have to go.
We'll meet and celebrate at leisure, okay?
Bye.
Cheers.
You said 20 minutes.
Do you always take this long to come?
Isn't that a good thing?
Anyway, what are we doing here?
Is there a new art gallery here or
Is your studio here?
You don't find inspiration
in such serious places, madam.
I see.
So where does one find it?
I'll show you.
I'll find inspiration here?
Why don't you give it a shot at least,
madam?
I think it's time you had some fun.
Look, I haven't found any inspiration.
Your idea was basically rubbish.
But are you having fun or not?
Where's the time for that? I'm so stuck.
I've never let my personal life
come in the way of my work, but
This time I'm just not managing
Fun is the last thing I need right now.
See, that's where you're wrong.
Why do you think you're not inspired?
Because you're not having fun.
You're simply running behind inspiration,
behind deadlines,
behind that
investor of yours.
Here's what you should do, listen.
Let the inspiration come to you.
And when it comes,
let it absolutely take you over.
That's it!
And what do I do
till it doesn't come to me?
Nothing. Like we did today.
Whatever. Now listen to my idea.
I think you and I should collaborate
on my new collection.
Okay.
Because I saw some of your work on Insta
and I thought it was really cool.
Really?
So you were stalking me on Instagram?
As if you weren't stalking me!
I mean, who slid into whose DMs?
Point.
Hello?
Yes, I'm coming.
I gotta go. Sorry.
When is it available?
It's totally bare.
You can move in tomorrow if you wish.
There's only the matter of the deposit.
Can I pay the deposit in instalments?
You can speak to the owner about that.
In any case,
you're a friend of Dhairya sir's,
so it shouldn't be a problem.
Dhairya
Anyway, thank you.
Look, she's come.
I told you she'd come.
Mother and daughter can't stay away
from each other for too long.
Actually, they can. Very easily.
I'm not here to stay,
just here to get my stuff.
I've found my new house.
Why don't you talk to your mother once?
She's stressed out since morning.
She won't tell me what's going on.
Can you talk to her please?
What's there to talk about?
We had a fight. That's why she's upset.
It's not about the fight.
She had a phone call in the morning.
Her mood's been off since then.
And she put up some picture.
She hasn't stopped checking her phone.
-She put up a picture?
-Yes.
Let me check.
"I live in Mumbai, and working.
I'm a good actor,
looking for good parts to play."
"My mother put up this post
on her Instagram today.
My almost 60-year-old,
National Award-winning mother.
We might not always see eye to eye,
but her courage never fails to amaze me.
Judgment from the world
can be a scary thing,
but it will never overshadow her passion,
and more importantly, her talent.
I can't wait to see her fly again."
Mom, have you seen my glasses?
Let me know if you find them.
I'll take them tomorrow.
Are you leaving today itself?
Yeah, I mean I'll stay at Gia's tonight
and move in tomorrow.
I see.
If you're so angry with me
then why did you repost my post?
I mean, it was a very cool post, Mom.
Such a brave thing to do.
Now you watch, you'll get tons of work
and tons of phone calls.
Touchwood
-I'll see you tomorrow.
-One minute, just wait
No need to act so smart,
you can keep staying here.
Forget what I said in anger, please.
It's not about anger anymore, Mom.
You said some things that were true.
I have to start learning
to live on my own.
You've always done it all
by yourself, right?
Okay, sure. You
learn to live on your own from tomorrow.
Stay here tonight and we'll move
all your stuff tomorrow, okay? Come on.
Come, sit.
Okay, fine.
Okay, tell me, what's for dinner?
Beans and rice.
I've packed dinner for you.
Ma'am, what other luggage do I take?
Quiet.
Mom's giving an interview.
-Sorry
-Keep your voice down.
Congratulations, ma'am,
you must be really happy.
Cut. Ms. Neena,
should we try another take?
Yes, sure.
Who called you
after you put up that post on Instagram?
I got a lot of calls
from producers, directors
and even from the general public.
Actually, it's very overwhelming,
you know
-Please excuse me for one minute.
-Sure. Can you cut, please?
Masaba? I'm so sorry they came
to do the interview now.
And I also have to meet the
Mad Memsaabs director, should I cancel?
-No, Mom.
-I want to help you.
Mom, don't even talk
about canceling, okay? Just relax.
Gia and the girls are coming to help.
-All right.
-Go.
-I'm so sorry.
-Careful.
Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.
I know I don't have to worry about you.
-Take care.
-Okay, bye.
Madam, where should I keep this?
Just keep it over there.
Look at this!
She still has the same resting bitch face.
She's looking like a little gangster.
I've kept some of the photographs here.
Should we start with some gin?
Since there's no beer.
No, wait. The beer's here.
Come quick, I'm dying here.
Masaba, we need a plug for this.
-Can, please.
-I'll call Vijay.
-Ma'am
-I don't want.
Gehna, are you going
to drink or just distribute?
-No, ma'am, I won't drink.
-Gehna, come on.
-Gehna, drink!
-Come on.
Ma'am, I won't drink.
What's going on, guys?
Here you go, ma'am.
A gift from all of us to you.
We wish you good vibes in this new home.
Did you get that?
Gia, you're disgusting.
-Why? It's beautiful.
-See?
When you use it you can be like
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
Gehna, what are your thoughts
on this magnificent device?
Ma'am, what is this?
"Ma'am, what is this?"
You use this to make buttermilk.
God!
Too good, too good.
-Bye.
-Bye, thank you.
-If you need anything call me.
-I will.
And enjoy your good vibes.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
It's my house!
It's my house!
Nobody's here!
Nobody's here!
I'm gonna party!
I'm gonna party!
All by myself!
All by myself!
All by myself!
All by myself!
It's my house
It's my house
Nobody's here
Nobody's here
I'm gonna party
By myself
"To my wife Masaba,
can't believe
I can actually call you that. Wife.
Lucky me. Your husband, Vinay."
Too much, too much. Delete, delete.
And sent.
"How come such bad days fell upon you?"
Fucking Gia.
"If you were this desperate,
you should've called me."
I didn't know that was an option.
It's on It's on.
-Hey!
-Hi.
How are you?
Good.
Fuck, you look good.
Started.
-I love what you've done with the place.
-Thank you.
Yeah.
Check out this view, man.
Nice.
So, what's up?
Nothing. How've you been?
I'm good, how about you?
-Good.
-Yeah?
Yeah.
-It's been a while.
-Yeah.
So
Wait, is this happening?
I don't think it's happening.
Is it happening?
-Let's have some wine.
-You know what, fuck it. Come here.
Yup, that happened.
Fuck. I missed this.
I know, right?
Why did we stop doing this again?
Because you didn't want this.
You wanted to get married, remember?
And you didn't want marriage,
you wanted Shalini.
Yeah. What a psycho she turned out to be.
Good. You deserve it.
Sure, stupid.
What else? How long are you in town?
Till the end of the month.
And then back to London?
No, then I go to Portugal
to meet my girlfriend,
then we go to Spain for a bit
and then, yeah. Back to the grind.
Girlfriend?
Don't make this into an issue, please.
Don't ruin your mood. Come here
My mood is ruined, Manav.
Why didn't you mention
you had a girlfriend?
I just told you.
I didn't really get the chance
to tell you before.
You know what? Just get out.
Seriously? Dude, get with the times.
How can you still be the same?
And you have changed massively,
haven't you?
First, you cheated on me.
And now you're cheating on her with me.
You've evolved so much, wow.
Fuck this shit, man, seriously.
You wanna know what your problem is?
Nothing, and no one can make you happy.
When we were together, you weren't happy
because you wanted to get married.
When we met in London, you were married.
But still not happy.
And now you're divorced,
but still you're not happy.
What exactly do you fucking want?
You know, what I really want is for you
to get the fuck out of my house.
Gladly.
