Hiccups and Hookups (2021) s01e06 Episode Script

1
So, let me try it.
Hmm.
Master chef Kavanya Khattar,
this is wow!
I wanted to talk to you.
Go on.
Do you think I'm being mean
to mom as well right now?
You're being too
harsh on your mom.
You don't answer her
calls. You don't talk to her.
She loves you and
misses you a lot.
But how could she
have done such a thing?
He's my teacher!
Exactly! He's your teacher.
The same goes for you too.
Kay,
everyone has the right to make mistakes.
Mistakes happen.
But then why isn't
she being easy on you?
That's a bit complicated.
I've also made mistakes. Perhaps,
more than you both.
Whether to forgive me or not,
that's completely her call.
I cannot demand forgiveness.
I can only ask for it.
Right?
- You're so nice!
- Kavanya Khattar,
eat this half-cooked Maggi.
This time,
I won't ask you what we're doing here.
Because I know if it's Ila,
it's gonna be something crazy.
There you go, slotting me!
Slotting?
Everyone tries to slot others.
Alright. Go on,
hit me with some more Ila-ism!
See, slotting me again.
It's like if it's Ila,
she's bound to say something crazy.
Ila's way of doing things,
let's call it Ila-ism.
That's putting her in a slot.
Even to interact with people,
we need to slot them
as a particular person.
So I take it that you
don't wanna slot people?
- Yes.
I fall into that slot of
people who don't slot people.
Slotter!
Do you know where painter
Sangram Seekar's house is?
That way.
Ma'am,
where is Sangram Seekar's house?
That way.
Look at this.
Do you know this?
Sure?
Bye, kids!
So, are we headed anywhere?
I mean today, and you know,
with each other.
Don't try to turn life
into a Google map.
Like enter a destination
and start heading that way.
And when you get there,
you feel quite relieved
when your mobile
phone finally says,
'You have now arrived
at your destination.'
Yep!
The destination should just
be the means to the journey.
That's kind of pop
psychology talk.
Things you say to yourself to convince,
cajole your heart.
Really? Then
what's the real talk?
The moment.
The moment that we are living.
Look ahead of us. What's there?
Nothing.
Nothing for miles!
Hi, Fatty!
Hi. You've called early?
Wow, you're up early!
Yeah.
These days, neither can I meet
my sleep deficit nor my need deficit.
Why? Are you
stressed about Enso?
This Enso job
has screwed up my
online dating scene.
Oh,
there are only four weeks to go!
That's what has killed
my sleep in advance.
Oh my God, yeah!
Okay, no. I need to meditate.
Everything will be okay.
Okay, wait. I've almost
reached the location by boat.
I have to get off.
Hold on. Okay?
Thank you.
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, Sanjana.
What the fuck?
Fantastic, man!
Fantastic!
Alright, Pankaj. Uh, bye.
I have to hop off for a 15-minute huddle,
yeah?
- I'll see you around. Cheers, man.
- Okay. Bye, JC.
Good morning. - What's all this?
And why is this logo so gaudy?
It's good. It's got a nice, uh,
vibe. - Vibe?
When did you
start saying 'vibe'?
I mean, it's good, right?
Yes,
but what was wrong with our old logo?
Smart, sober, sharp.
Our logo has the same qualities as
an ideal man on a matrimonial website.
What?
It's a joke, Panku.
In case you've also lost
your sense of humour
with JCitis.
He's behaving like a new bride
who redecorates the
house before moving into it.
Look, we have a board meeting
before he comes on as the CEO-investor.
There's still a week to go for that. So,
chill.
Unless - Unless what?
Unless our algo
changes the game.
I've almost reached deployment,
dude.
Check out the
front end in a week.
There's still time.
We'll see.
We'll see.
The fifth
You're the fifth person,
in ten years
to search for a
bell at this door.
I'm used to it.
That's exactly why
I hid it behind a tree.
By the way,
the man sitting under the tree
led me to the wrong village.
I pay him every
four or five months.
You pay him to mislead people?
Could you give me some water,
please?
Aloe is good for you.
Eat it.
Should I eat it?
If you've also come
here to talk about my art,
let me save both
your time and mine.
My answer will be a clear no.
Oh!
Your mom used
to put baking soda.
My mom does many things.
But I'm not my mom.
By the way,
your mom will be back in a few days, right?
Shout and call me when it beeps.
Okay.
I've quit all this.
I have no interest
in selling my art,
profit,
visibility, promotion
It's all an illusion.
It's meaningless.
These words
mean nothing to me.
Mangoes are so yellow and soft.
If you use such words here,
there's the exit.
If you're busy, I can wait.
No. I'm not busy.
Keep talking.
As a digital marketer at DLL,
I would like to make sure
easy finance solution reaches
every person at every phase.
Boring!
Grandma will kill
me if I send her this!
'Kavanya,
this is so disappointing.'
Argh!
Kay,
the banana bread smells weird.
Turn it off. It got burnt.
The video is awful,
the bread is awful
Argh! fuck this!
Look, the truth is that
I can't land a top artist.
And the style of new artists is
beyond my own comprehension.
Some of them agreed,
but I'm not sure
if they'd boost our sales or
just make noise on social media.
I can't find a highlight
for the exhibition.
And I really love your work.
So, I thought if I could
acquire some of your paintings,
I'd feel the satisfaction
of having tried my best,
of having followed my heart.
That's why I'm here today.
If you give me a chance,
the chance I've given myself by
accepting the job of curating Enso
will be a success.
And it's very important to me
that this exhibition is successful.
I've taken a risk by biting
off more than I can chew.
What are you doing?
Mom learning.
Kay My daughter
When she was young,
I used to lower myself down to
her level to talk to her, you know?
Her eye level.
Your eye level?
Here, drink this.
I'm sorry. Did I do
something wrong?
Huh?
Not at all.
I do all this to make
people feel that I'm weird.
I think I'm weird myself.
Which of my
paintings did you see?
This
Take them. - What?
Any five of these.
I didn't exhibit my
paintings for ten years
because I don't trust anyone.
Trust is very important.
Yes. I also have this
issue of being trustworthy.
- It's okay.
- That's not what I meant.
You must give me something.
A contract? Paperwork?
I'll cut your hair. - My hair?
If you trust me,
let me cut it.
And you can't change it
until after the exhibition.
By the way,
I have zero experience of cutting hair.
Okay.
Yes.
You look familiar. - Really?
I think I'm at the wrong house.
Shut up! Come in.
Akku. - Hey, sis.
- Wanna see a surprise?
- Did you find Sangram?
Look properly!
How did your hair
turn into an art piece?
Akku,
Sangram turned out to be a true artist!
He cut my hair as
a part of our deal.
So, did you get it? - I did!
And finally,
some good news today!
You were busy with the algo,
right?
The algo and my other
favourite activity these days.
Thinking about Ila.
Akku,
take it easy - Okay. You're coming home,
right?
Yes. But first,
I have to go for dinner.
Are you going for dinner
looking like a scarecrow?
Oh,
man! My friends from Indiranagar
have been calling
me for a long time.
I can't delay it any further.
That Anika and those yuppies?
These people used
to be my friends.
'People?'
If you insist.
The Enso exhibition
is coming up.
They all can buy at least
one expensive painting each.
I'll slip invitations to
everyone at the dinner.
Have fun, sis.
I don't know how you
socialise with these couples.
Well Anyway, let it be.
'Bye, sis!'
Bye. See you soon.
You've become quite a giver.
So,
is the avocado
boy cool with this?
Nice name for him. Yeah,
he's cool.
Happy for you.
Mom's such a bitch, man!
Look, I liked Prashant.
Hey, I knew it!
You're so typical, Kay!
Wow! And this is coming from you
when you're into
that pretty boy!
- But you know, I'm a changed man now.
- Cute.
New and improved Aryan.
What happened between
your mom and Prashant?
She hooked up with him.
I walked into the bedroom and
It was all messy and
Sick.
I can't even talk to her.
I hate her.
How could she do this to me?
Shit! This is
worse than 'sucks'!
I'm here for you.
Thank you.
I wanna go somewhere far away from here,
man! Really!
Also,
grandma's being so tough on me now.
But I hate to disappoint her.
Are you ready for round two?
Hey,
brother from another mother!
I figured your ego is stopping you.
That's why we didn't meet for so long.
You were hurt, but wouldn't say.
So, I thought I'd be the bigger
person and come here. How are you?
Rinzing, who's it?
Hey, the other mother is here! Hi,
aunty.
- Hello, son.
- Hello. I'm Akhil, Rinzing's friend.
- Come in.
- Nice to meet you, aunty.
Good to see you.
- Hi, uncle. I'm Akhil. Hi.
- Hello.
Hello, son. - Thanks, bro.
Rinzing, I've been calling you for
so long! You don't answer my calls!
His phone was ringing. But
he said it wasn't important.
Oh! Oh!
I didn't meet him for days. So,
he's angry.
That's how he is.
Cribbing Rinzing.
Crinzu!
What an amazing coincidence!
I come here and meet you all
at a family dinner. Right, Crinzu?
- He never told me about you guys coming.
- Right.
I should have told you
first before calling my family.
Come on,
Crinzu! Don't sulk so much.
Your friend is very funny.
Okay.
- Dhruv, some
- I'll just focus.
I think
Hey! - Hi, guys.
Vasu! - I got a bit late.
Finally, you've found time to
grace us with your presence!
So good to see you and
Dhruv together again!
So, today, after so long,
you finally said yes to coming.
I was telling Kartik,
Dhruv still shows up
sometimes. But Vasu
it's as if she's left us too…
Oh,
shit! I I didn't mean it like that.
It's okay. It's not what
you think. It's just that
You know, I just I got busy
with the new job and all that.
What a switch for you, Vasu!
From the corporate
world to an art gallery!
Wow!
Actually, guys,
it's, uh, invites.
There's an exhibition
at the gallery.
You must come. And I'm
managing this exhibition.
So, uh, it'll be fun.
Today,
I went on a long search for an artist
to a remote place
outside Bengaluru.
Don't ask!
No Raza, no Padamsee
or not even a Hussain.
Yeah. Actually, we are, uh,
featuring contemporary and new artists.
You mean like Affordable art?
By the way, Vasu, it's,
it's great you're working.
You know, taking risks,
making big decisions
But I'd feel like a
teenager doing all this.
And we have two of them at home. So,
I can't be one.
But I'm glad it's
working for you.
Thanks.
How's Kay?
Maira was telling me
she's not regular at college
and has also dropped
out of the marathon.
All okay with her?
Yeah. She's busy with the uni.
Oh, that's fine.
We were just worried, darling.
Teenagers, you know?
Especially with
broken home situations.
Broken homes have repercussions.
They don't cope well.
We're just separated. We
haven't decided anything yet.
It's the same, darling.
No, not really.
'Separated' is not
'a broken home'.
I was just asking about Kay,
Vasu.
It seemed like she was having some issues,
from what Maira said.
Really?
Which teenager doesn't
have issues? Huh?
Aren't you always complaining
about Maira's obsession with make-up?
I mean,
what she's just trying to tell you is
that you're single,
and you're no longer with Dhruv
and you're doing
your own new life thing.
Are you trying to tell
me how to live my life?
Huh?
And what is this tone you
all are speaking to me in?
Vasu, you're overreacting now.
I'm overreacting!
You guys are all sitting here,
judging me,
and I'm overreacting!
You know what? Maybe
Kay knows what she's doing,
Dhruv knows what he's doing,
and you're right,
maybe I don't
know what I'm doing.
But you know what? It's
none of your bloody business!
Vasu, just Just relax.
You just told us you
were a bit stressed.
- But why are you taking it out on us all?
- Fuck you, guys. Seriously.
Vasu,
we're just talking casually. Calm down.
Guys, there's so much food
on the table. Dig into that.
Why are you digging
into our personal life?
Dhruv, buddy, now,
both of you are taking it very personally.
Yeah. You know why?
Because it is bloody personal!
This is why
That's enough!
And pay the bill.
You always sneak
out after eating
either by saying you have to
attend a call or go to the bathroom.
Think of this as
payback for that.
You're so cheap guys!
- These guys are impossible!
- Seriously!
Anyway, cheers! - Cheers!
Such losers and assholes!
That fucking idiot!
I felt like throwing that Chicken
Ghee Roast at Kartik's face!
I haven't eaten
since the morning!
Oh, damn!
You should've cursed
them after eating something.
Come. Let's go home.
I'll feed you Kavita's
delicious oats.
Son,
the feelings you have about Ila
Just act on them.
And as she said,
there's no point of thinking so
much and being so afraid, son.
You guys just think too much,
read too many online articles
then make a mess of your lives.
Love is an action of the heart,
not a calculation of the mind.
Wow,
aunty! You should write a book!
I agree. Mum, you should.
You all are such
a normal family.
Shall we take a selfie?
If I want to show my family
how normal families look,
I can use it.
Oh my God, Dhruv!
I don't know if this was such a good idea,
after all.
She probably thinks I'm a bitch.
No.
How's she doing?
I don't know.
She doesn't tell me anything.
She's very difficult to read.
Classic Kay.
This is so good!
Actually, I didn't realise
how hungry I was.
Who cut your hair, by the way?
Sangram.
Don't ask!
I miss this, Dhruv.
This home-cooked oats,
this banter
I know it's complicated.
I don't know what I want.
But I know what I need.
I need a shower!
So, go ahead.
It's your place.
Come on. Come.
Get up.
Do you want to continue
that back massage?
