Grandma tells Raj that she has some bonds that are maturing soon, and will be happy to give him the money. Raj is pleased as punch about this, and heads off to work.
Speaking
of work, who should pull into the garage but Priya and her sporty little red
car. Raj spies her arrival and calls out to her. She comes over and giggles as
Raj unintentionally blackens his nose with grease. Priya takes a hanky and
cleans him up with one of those mildly awkward "this is sort of an oddly
romantic thing we're doing here, isn't it" moments.
With that accomplished, Raj asks her why she's come in today. Priya describes an interesting new habit her car has developed - it randomly dies on her. Raj vows to set things right immediately, and goes to work. Priya asks him how he manages to hold down both a part time job as well as keeping up with his schoolwork. He tells her that it does interfere with his education, but there is no one else at home to bring in any money so he has little choice.
After
Raj brings Priya up to speed on his home life, he proclaims the car to be
rectified. Priya asks him how much she owes him. As she does this, Kartar
appears in the background and watches them intently. Raj insists that the work
is free since all he had to do was make a minor adjustment. Priya still insists
on paying him for his work. Raj tells her that if she ever has any problems to
bring her car to him, and he will fix it for free. He also adds that she should
come by later and he'll give it a good once-over for service.
As
all this is going on, Kartar watches with a satisfied smile on his face as he
nods his head. Priya finally heads out as Raj waves happily after her. Kartar
comes over and stops his waving. He explains that as long as Raj does his waving
and work for free, he will make a beggar out of him. Kartar then asks if Raj
does all his work in exchange for "thank you's." If that's the case, then he'll
stop putting cash in his pay envelope and leave him thank you notes instead. Raj
tries to explain that he knew Priya but Kartar cuts him off. He tells him that
any car that pulls into the garage is going to pay at least 500 rupees for the
visit. If he wants to work on her car for free, he should do it on his own time,
and somewhere else.
Kartar ends the discussion by telling Raj that he's going to dock him the 500 rupees that he should have collected for the work on Priya's car, and threatening Raj with termination if he ever does anything like this again. Kartar then notices Golu pouring a bottle of soda into the engine of a car. He shouts at him to stop, and asks him what he thinks he's doing. The happy explanation is that he's putting oil in the engine, but Kartar points out the mistake. Kartar then calls out to another mechanic to lock Golu in the truck of a car so he doesn't get into any more engines.
The
next day Mickey is encouraging Raj to tell Priya that he likes her. He points
out that Rose Day is coming up, and that's a perfect opportunity to do it. Raj
seems to think this is a good plan, and we cut to the Rose Day party in full
swing. Priya is seen dancing with a group of friends while the four roughnecks
look on from a distance. Raj arrives on his bike wearing a bright yellow suit
and black shirt. Mickey comes over to tell Raj that he's looking fine, and
points out where Priya is grooving. Raj straightens his jacket and psyches
himself up before calling over to her. Priya notices him and very energetically
greets him.
