01x05 - Work B**ch!

Post by bunniefuu »

Do you want a little brother
or a little sister?

Neither.

It's too late now.

It's gonna happen anyway.

Stop annoying me, Mom.

Is this why you've been calling me
since morning?

Excuse me!

I'm almost getting the role
of a main lead in a film,

and you think it's annoying?

Okay, Mom, but what does
pregnancy have to do with it?

I'm playing the role of a woman
who gets pregnant at 50.

-Okay, is that even possible?
-I don't know.

It's a really good role.

The script is really good,
and I have some solid scenes in it.

Then you must do it, Mom. Just do it.

I haven't got the part yet.

The screen test is yet to happen,
then it'll get locked.

That's why I have this stomach on
since morning.

I thought I should get used to it.

It's been many years
since you were in here.

I don't know how you handled it, Mom.

How were you so brave at that age?

I can't even handle a separation.

But you are also brave, child.

What brave, Mom?

I can't take care of my house.
I can't work properly.

I'm getting crankier by the minute.

-I'm such a mess.
-But mess is good.

If there's no mess,
where will the passion in life come from?

You think my life was never messy?
My whole life was a mess.

You know, people say,
"She's so brave. She's so strong."

But only the person who's going through it
fully understands what's going on.

You feel like this right now,
but later you will think...

all this was for the better,
I'm telling you.

Okay, Mom, I have to go.
You've given me a great idea.

Hey, what? What idea?

Guys! I have
the most amazing, f*cking idea.

-Are you ready?
-Yes!

Okay. So...

The theme for the new Masaba collection
is going to be...

Hot Mess.

-What does that mean?
-What?

Guys, hot mess is when your life is sh*t
and everything's screwed up anyway.

But you just kind of embrace it
and make it creative.

-Don't you think so?
-Yeah!

'Cause everyone's life is messy, right?

I mean, it's gonna be unexplored,
fresh, fun.

It's gonna be scary,
but I think it's gonna be fab.

-That's true! Totally!
-Nice!

Yeah? Okay, awesome.

We've wasted a lot of time already.
We have only two weeks left.

Anshu, Sarah, start with referencing.

-Jogi, should we work on the prints?
-Yup.

Gehna, please call Mr. Masood
and ask him to get the fabric samples.

-Yes, ma'am.
-Awesome, I'm so kicked, guys!

All right. I have one more person
to speak to, I will be right back.

-Okay.
-Cool.

I'm sorry, Mr. Rana.
She barged in without asking.

I told her you were busy.

Sorry to barge in,
but you do this to me all the time.

So consider this my revenge.

Yes.

No! I mean... It...

Rosetta, I've got it, thank you very much.
Thanks, bye.

Is... there something special
you wanted to talk about?

You didn't have to come all the way here.
I could've come there.

Today, I had to come.

Because I wanted to see
the look on your face as I say this.

Okay.

Dhairya...

Yeah...

I've finally figured out
what my new collection's going to be.

The new collection, hello?

You've been pestering me
about this for months now.

Okay.

And it's called...

Hot Mess.

"Hot Mess"?

It's a term millennials use.
Maybe your generation won't get it.

But it's about embracing change
and emotions

-and chaos and stuff like that.
-What does this have to do with clothes?

Don't worry about that.

I'll send you a look-book
for the investors.

Yeah, Masaba, these abstract,
esoteric ideas, they don't work, okay?

It's not commercially viable.

Of course, you don't get it.

At least trust me once and see?

I've been doing this for ten years.

-I know what I'm doing.
-Yeah, of course. I mean, we'll...

We'll go with your conviction,
but don't go overboard.

-Just keep it simple.
-Yeah, yeah. I won't.

So, last night...

Did he see me?

What about last night?

Nothing.

An investor
had sent me a message wondering...

what's happening with the new collection.

Now, at least I can update him,
and "Hot Mess" it is.

Okay.

Hey, get the light stand.

Change the light stand.

Hello, Sunaina.

How are you? Seeing you after a long time.

I know, man. What to do?

I'm so busy
with the sh**ting for Shaukeen.

This Farah, really...
Even if it's not my scene,

she still calls me to the set.

She loves me a lot, you know.

Who doesn't love you? So sweet you are.

So, how's your husband?

-He's still in Delhi, right?
-Yeah, he's fine, yeah.

You know, husbands shouldn't be left alone
for so long.

You should keep visiting him.

So sweet of you.

You care so much for everybody, right?

-Okay, I have to go, they've called me.
-Okay.

Excuse me, sir? This is my print!

Madam, this is imported stuff!
It's a Masaba print!

And who's Masaba?

It's a country in Africa.
It's imported from there, understand?

What are you saying?

Where can one get the visa
for this country?

We have to make at least one trip.

Yeah, Mom?

Please, congratulate me.

You got the part?

Yes! Yes.

I knew it, Mama! Congratulations!

Good times are about to roll
for both of us. Yes!

The logo options for the standee design?

-Two minutes, we'll check.
-Right now.

Show me.

-Much better.
-Mr. Dubey!

Please pay the event planners,
construction is stalled!

Blue one works or the pink one?

Dull. It's too bright.

Bigger?

-Bigger? Bigger?
-Cool.

This is for five months pregnant,
seven months, and...

Is it tight?

-Yeah?
-Good.

One of the models gained too much weight.
The dress doesn't fit.

Event planners need the budget estimate.
Let’s do it now?

I'm going for the showstopper's fittings.

Why?

Just to check if everything is in place.

Just do your job.

Receiver of cosmic energies,
coming down through our crown chakra,

and through the channels of our body,
going down.

And from the crystal
coming all the way up,

all the energy channels up
our body, up again!

Reach up, Masaba! Reach up!

Higher! Higher!

You said you were going to work,
so she said...

What did she say?

-Is there anything else you need me to do?
-No, but thanks, guys.

Go home and get some rest.
We have a long day tomorrow.

-Yeah?
-Sure, ma'am.

-Good night.
-Good night, ma'am.

Is it pack-up time? Where's everyone?

I sent them home.
I just thought they should get some rest.

And when will you rest, madam?

I can't rest before a show.
Too much anxiety.

Sounds like you're planning
to stay up all night.

That's what's going to happen.

I have accessories to do.
Seating arrangement.

I have no idea about hair and makeup.
There's just too much work.

I know.

You've been at it since morning.
You should take one break at least.

Is he hitting on me?

No, I'll just finish everything up,
and then go home,

when I finish...

Yes, but we don't have to finish
all the work here.

I mean, we can change the scene.

My house is just two minutes away.

Yup, he's hitting on me.

No, I just think I'll finish everything
and then go home.

Guess he's bisexual then?

Okay.

Suit yourself, madam.

If you want some peace
in the midst of all this work,

come to Jogi's ashram.

I can't. Very unprofessional.

See ya.

But what would he look like naked?

I bet he'd look great.

Look who's here!
Finally, you decided to come.

Welcome the new player to the field.

You couldn't stop yourself, right?

Well, I really did need some peace.

You know, your house is exactly
how I imagined it to be.

Really?

So you were imagining my house?

-Chances of a run out?
-That's nice.

Why are you standing? Sit down.

Hey, madam, not there. Come here.

It's certainly old but it's sturdy.

Doesn't look like it.

Why don't you test it?

And it's a six!

You're all talk.

-Hi, Ms. Neena.
-Hi.

Just checking if everything's okay.

Yeah, yeah. It's fine.

Will you close the middle door
in case the other artist wants privacy?

No, ma'am,
this entire vanity van is yours.

-The whole van?
-Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

No problem.
I'll just get the costume options.

Okay, thank you.

The entire van is mine! Yes!

Where am I?

Oh, yeah.

Okay, this house
did not look like this last night.

Switch off your phone, man!

The show's going to start in two hours
and I'm so late.

This has never happened before.
What am I doing?

And this Vinay hasn't found
a buyer for the house.

The investors are sitting on my head.
Everything is riding on this show.

You know,
the industry thinks I've lost it?

Did I have less complications in my life?
The problem with Jogi is now added to it!

Wait a minute.

Are you making this phone call on Wi-Fi?

No. I haven't had time
to set up the Wi-Fi yet. Why?

So strange.

Every time I video-call my husband,
it gets disconnected.

And he tells me

that these kind of calls
can only be made on Wi-Fi.

Hey, Gehna! Gehna!

-Yes, ma'am!
-Have the models started getting ready?

I'm on it, ma'am! I'm just checking.
I'll get it replaced!

Mister, second floor.

This is so exciting!
It's my first fashion show.

It's going to be epic!

Come back.

A little bit on your right, on your right.

Listen, I've dealt with the caterers.
Now what?

Now nothing. It's all done. Chill.

I'm very anxious on this boat.
Give me something to do!

Just sit and enjoy! Everything is done.
Jut watch the show.

Fine, I'll find something to do now.

That wasn't awkward at all.

We are starting
at 7:00 p.m. sharp, right?

-Yeah.
-Because it's high tide after that.

And then we won't be able
to get anybody on board.

-No, 7:00 p.m. sharp.
-Yeah? Sure?

-All the best.
-Yeah. Thank you.

Masaba.

Hi. Well, everything is all set.
It's all going great. Don't worry.

I hope so. Because all the investors
and their families have arrived.

Where's your showstopper?

She's just about ready,
and don't worry about anything.

-All right.
-Ma'am. There's a situation.

-What?
-The showstopper's arrived,

but she's not starting
her hair and makeup.

I will sort this out.

Please go enjoy some champagne.

Hello? Hello? Dheer?

f*ck this phone! Signal?

-None of you have signal!
-Sorry, ma'am.

Why do I even pay you guys?
My staff consists of donkeys!

Get out of here! Bloody useless!

-Madam is in a terrible mood.
-Idiots!

Can't find a f*cking phone
that works!

Why can't these actresses
leave the drama on the set?

Hey.

Babe.

What the f*ck is this boat?

There's no signal!
Please tell me there's at least Wi-Fi?

Okay, I will check for you,

but before that,
please just have some coffee, just--

Babe! I don't need coffee. I need signal!

I was in the middle of a very,
very important phone conversation,

and I lost signal!

Dheer's getting on a flight to London,
and as usual, he's being a d*ck.

I need to talk to him before he boards.

-And, like, what the f*ck, man?
-Okay, okay.

Babe, I really need signal.

Okay. I will find you a phone that works.

But before that, can you please
start your hair and makeup?

Makeup.

-You're right. It'll help me get centered.
-Yeah.

Exactly! Yeah?

Get on with it.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

We're about to start the show very soon
with our showstopper, Malavika.

So drink up, and let's get ready!

Oh, my God! This b*tch has burnt my hair!

No need to call me names.
The boat's sockets are faulty, not me.

-What the f*ck!
-We don't have time for this.

The fashion show has started.
I want hair and makeup upstairs!

Come on, everyone, line up now!

Sir, please understand.
I really need those people to come up.

-The show is starting.
-What's this beeping noise?

What's going on?

He's saying we're over capacity!
They're not letting Micky in!

Should we all just turn
around and go back, babe?

I think we've seen enough here.

But I think this is going to be better
than the Titanic.

So sorry, Micky. Just give me two minutes.
I'm sorting this out, okay?

What do we do?
Why aren't you letting them on board?

Ma'am, only 110 people
are allowed to be on this boat.

It's not 110 yet.
These people are on the guest list!

It's not just the guests.

There's 110 people on board now
including the total crew.

Okay, wait. You go.
I'll get some useless people off

-and get these people on.
-Please. Thanks.

Yes, Mom. What is it?

My costume trials are still going on.

I think I'll get done very late today.

Mom, I have 10,000 things to do.
I can't talk right now.

Don't come if you don't want to.

Mr. Yadav, I've got four people.

Now let them go
and let them come in, please.

Quickly, leave.

But, madam, I'm the speaker guy.

Okay, so collect them tomorrow,
my brother!

Mr. Dubey, please.

This is great. Made me sweat and do
all the boring work, and now...

-Mr. Dubey, please, watch it on Instagram.
-When it's about payment...

Girls, I'm sorry. Sorry, babe.

Come up fast. Sir.

One more goes off
and we'll allow one person inside.

Fine. I'm going.

What a great sacrifice.

I just hope it's worth it, Micky.
Have a lovely evening.

"Hot Mess."
They must be talking about Masaba's life.

-When will it start?
-Who knows when it'll start?

You're not avoiding me, right?

Don't be silly, Jogi.
Don't you have work to do?

-I do.
-So go and do it!

Okay.

-This goes with--
-Masaba!

The music started ten minutes ago!
Why hasn't the show started?

The investors
are getting really pissed off!

I am handling it, okay?
Just give me two seconds to breathe.

Where's the showstopper?

What happened, babe?

He left.

And you...
And no one gave me a f*cking phone!

I loved him.

I mean, I hated him.

But I loved him, and he was so cute!

Talk to him. I have a phone!

-You have signal?
-Yeah!

Give me.

-You have Dheer's number?
-I don't, but--

-Can I call him?
-Yeah, from upstairs.

Shamsu! Get my phone!

Call him from upstairs.
He's on flight anyway, right?

I swear there's better signal upstairs.
Come, come.

Guys, bring the waterproof mascara.

Is there signal?

Maybe this is it. High-concept fashion.

Invisible models, invisible clothes.

Yo, Micks.
Is it me or is the boat moving, man?

I'm feeling dizzy.

-Please.
-Sorry.

The wait is over! Let's get started!

Ladies and gentlemen...

-Finally.
-Hot Mess!

-Still can't get through.
-Calm down. It's okay.

Like, why is this happening to me?

What the f*ck!

Who started the show?

Ma’am, the models went up
on hearing the announcement.

God, they're not ready yet.
Stop! The show hasn't started yet!

Do you have a phone? Phone? Phone?

f*ck!

You! Blue t-shirt!

Man...

I shouldn't have eaten the food
on this boat.

Not bad.

Go, go, go! Come on! Go!

What the f*ck!

What just happened?

Go, go, go. Just keep going.

I'm so sorry.

Keep going, keep going.

Why did the speakers stop?

Guys, keep walking!

What the f*ck happened to the music?

I don't know, ma'am. I can't hear you!

The music.

I'll check! I'll check!

I got signal! I got signal!
Dheer has messaged! So...

-No! What the f*ck!
-It's okay, darling.

He doesn't get to leave me.
He doesn't get... How dare...

I leave him! I leave him!

But I love him! I love him!

Okay, come on. We have to go.

Stop it. How much will you touch her up?
I'll k*ll you! Come on!

-Come. Just come, it's fine.
-Masaba...

It happens. He's gone.

-He said he'd leave his wife.
-Come on!

How could he do this, Masaba?
He was the love of my life!

-It's fine, it happens.
-My life is over!

-I don't want to deal--
-Just go, just go!

What happened there?
