Outside,
D'Costa is trying to console Saxena's widow. Jojo informs them that the "latest
news" is Raj and his pals are all coming out of the station. They conveniently
stand in front of D'Costa's group and confirm their trip to Poona in two days'
time. As they take their leave, D'Costa vows revenge and kicks Taarzan in the
rear bumper. This awakens the Wrath of Taarzan, and he retaliates by angling his
tailpipe upwards and blasting D'Costa in the face with a cloud of thick, black
exhaust. This amuses Jojo, and he comments as such.
Well, we're getting sidetracked from all the killing. I think we also need a
little extra drama to spice things up. We cut to Priya's house where the phone
is ringing. Priya puts the caller on speakerphone, and is happy to hear that it
is her father calling. One thing we should point out - we have yet to hear
Priya's family name. Just so happens that she is the evil Mr. Kapoor of the Four
Foxes' daughter. She tells him of her weekend plans, then runs outside where Raj
is sweetly and loudly blasting Taarzan's horn.
Priya
asks Raj to get her door for her since she has applied
mehendi to her hands and doesn't want to mess up the artwork. Raj is
impressed and helps her out. Now, Priya's a little crafty. Since her hands are
basically useless for a while, she takes advantage of her situation to escalate
the flirting a bit. She comments that the wind is blowing her hair into her
face, and asks that Raj tie her hair back with a scarf. Oh, and the scarf is
wedged into her back pocket, below her rather elaborately laced little vest
shirt thing she's got on. Raj takes his time getting the scarf out and tying it
carefully on her noggin while Taarzan hurtles down the road at normal cruising
speed.
Taarzan
takes notice that Raj is not watching the road, and starts steering for him and
avoiding the oncoming traffic. Said traffic is honking and making lots of noise,
but I guess that is one challenging scarf to tie, since Raj doesn't look up for
a moment. Pleased with her first attempt, Priya begins Phase 2. She begins to
squeal and wiggle around in the seat, complaining that she has an itch. We get
about a minute of "nope, lower, lower" etc until Raj is poking her back just
above her waist. She gets a sly grin on her face and pays him an odd compliment,
but that's just what he needs to put the moves on her.
Now,
I can understand being distracted by a pretty girl who wants attention, but I
think out of a sense of self-preservation I would at least stop the car before
making out with her. Raj throws caution to the wind and starts smooching Priya
without even tapping the brakes. Bear in mind, he is not aware that Taarzan can
steer himself, so this strikes me as pretty irresponsible. But whatever. Taarzan
takes the wheel again while Raj and Priya "tell secrets" to each other for a
while. He even goes so far as to flatten himself to get underneath a semi
trailer that is blocking the road. Very nice!
As often occurs, Raj is so endeared by this display of affection, he can only
truly show his happiness in song. Raj and Priya lead us through our final song
for the movie, "O Sajan, O Sajan."
