## Don Durgaprasad

* I've got a career. Don't you guys know that? A career! No mafia don invites me to a party. They keep on calling on Dawood twice a year. They keep on consulting him. They set the correspondence courses right. And me? No one just gives a damn for me. Hey! Won't I ever be able to become someone like Dawood Ibrahim?
* We'll thrash them in all dictions and in all directions. Let's move. Everybody buck up. No more tomfoolery. Now the real... ...er... real... er... real battle. Now the real battle! Now... Abortion! Oops! Shit! What disgrace! Operation! Operation! Now...
* There was a girl called Nanibala... ...used to live in a ladies' hostel. The whole day... sitting by the window... ...she used to bite her nails! I will never forget Nanibala.
* Nanibala... ...used to bite her nails. Nanibala... Maybe it's because of you I'm blessed with love I know you are peerless! Nanibala!
* Hey! Hey, you! Fleeing away, eh? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Wanna drag it to the last scene? Playing the tricks to have a bigger role, no?
* Look at all these books. GODFATHER! This one... QUIET FLOWS THE DON! Guess the meaning of the title... ... Mr. Don flees away...quietly.

## Ranjita

* It's you who invokes the rain in the town. But the rain doesn't soak my soul. My soul's for you... ...and deep down there... ...celebrations all around! When I behold you... ...it seems your body's made up of the soft rose petals! Your lips... ...are they the same artist as they had once been?
* FISH CAUGHT IN THE HOOK...

## Montu

* Abortions! Like what all the leading mafias do... ...abortions after abortions after abortions.
* Oh, yes. I know. Just the memory chip went phut, you see.
* My name is Montu Singh. There's a film on my life... ...Singh is King.
* Hey! The cranky receiver of the dead telephone!
* Wow! I don't need recharging, eh? Mine isn't a man's life, right? I'm immune from all hormonal tricks, you mean?

## Don Muktodhara

* Neither I spare the rest, nor I spare myself any rest. My name is Muktadhara.

## Phontu

* ...If you do kidnap the whole of Kolkata... ...who'll be paying the ransom?
* I am the horror of the underworld... Fontu Singh!

## Parambrata

* So, what's up? The celebrations? Stepping in as a new hero of Bengali film...
* Oh, I really wish people just thronged around to see your first film. Just a sec. Wanna know... ...Original story, or pirated?

    Durgaprasad: I'll really become insane. Hey, listen! I am not yet dead.
