0:02:15 > 0:02:19Why you always talking about bloody expensive dresses?

0:02:19 > 0:02:22A man doesn't care what his bride is wearing.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24He'll love you more for saving money.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27You know, when I married your mother,

0:02:27 > 0:02:31the first thing I thought when I saw her was, "She looks bloody cheap."

0:02:35 > 0:02:37In a good way!

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Go on, be a good daughter for once, help your mother.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43What about Alia? You never have a go at her!

0:03:06 > 0:03:11Very good. Where are you up to darling? Oh yes, that's a good bit.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14See? First the worst, second the best, isn't it?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Have you been watering down the washing up liquid?

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Why are you sponging the sofa again?

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Three times already you sponged it this week.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27I'm just freshening it up. Mrs Malik is coming round with Amjad tomorrow.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29I don't want her saying things about my plastic covers.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32As it is, she's always looking down her nose at us,

0:03:32 > 0:03:34making out we're common.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Rubbish. Why would she think that?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38CLEARS THROAT LOUDLY

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Anyway, she won't be thinking that for much longer.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46You know the president of the Sparkhill Pakistani Business Association?

0:03:46 > 0:03:49He's asked me to accompany him to the next meeting.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Accompany him, like proper businessman!

0:03:51 > 0:03:55More like drive him, like proper driver.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56You know what this means?

0:03:56 > 0:03:59They're making me the next president. President Khan!

0:03:59 > 0:04:02What do you think of that? That'll go down well at the mosque.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Oh, by the way, have you booked the mosque for the wedding?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Yes, of course I have.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Good, because if you hadn't we might've lost the slot.- I know.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12- And then there would be cancellation.- I know this!

0:04:12 > 0:04:13And shame.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16And I would have to kill myself.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Look, who's in charge of this family?- Mum?

0:04:18 > 0:04:19I am!

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Look I've booked the mosque, OK? I said I would do it,

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Shoot.- Who the hell are you?

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Sorry, I'm Dave. I'm the new mosque manager.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42- What happened to Mr Qureshi? - He's tied up under the desk.

0:07:42 > 0:07:48No. Only kidding. Mr Qureshi has taken early retirement.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55- And you are? - Mr Khan, community leader.

0:07:55 > 0:07:56Mr Qureshi must have mentioned me.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Ohhhh, yes. YOU'RE Mr Kahn.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01That's me.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03I need to talk to you about booking the mosque

0:08:03 > 0:08:04for my daughter's wedding.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Your daughter's getting married? Congratulations!

0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Thank you.- You must be very proud! - Mmm... Eh.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Now, I need to book it on this date here.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19- OK, I'll check the diary. - What for?

0:08:19 > 0:08:20To see if I have a window.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24I'm not asking you out for dinner. You're a very nice man,

0:08:24 > 0:08:28- but I...- (LOWERS VOICE)- ..play with a straight bat, you know?

0:08:28 > 0:08:32Right. Oh, no. Oh, we're booked up that day.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- You can't be. Check again. - No. Definitely booked.

0:08:35 > 0:08:41What?! Do know who I am? Hello! Mr Khan, community leader!

0:08:41 > 0:08:45Next President of Sparkhill Pakistani Business Association!

0:08:45 > 0:08:46I'm sorry.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50Right, that's it. I want to speak to the proper manager.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51I am the proper manager.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54You know what I mean. The proper manager.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- 'Proper'?- The brown one.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Oh, I see what you're saying.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03It's OK I get this a lot. I am a Muslim. I'm a convert.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Right. I'm not trying to be funny, mate,

0:09:06 > 0:09:08but you can't be a proper Muslim, you see.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Because I'm white? - Because you're ginger.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19What's that got to do with it?

0:09:19 > 0:09:22You gingers are very different to the rest of us.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26Not so calm, frickley freckley skin, Scottish.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29- I'm not Scottish.- You drink?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- I used to.- You Scottish.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35I think you might be being a teeny bit racist, Mr Khan.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Me? I'm Asian.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39You are white, I'm racial.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41It is more racist you calling me racist!

0:09:43 > 0:09:48And anyway, you can't go around impersonating mosque managers.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50It's forbidden in the Koran.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Is it?- Well, if it isn't, it should be.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57It's the sacred word of God, never to be taken lightly.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Look, I've made my declaration of faith.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02I observe the five pillars. And any way, doesn't the Koran teach us

0:10:02 > 0:10:05that everybody is born a Muslim and so, in fact...

0:10:05 > 0:10:08All right, don't take it SO seriously!

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Look. Just get me in there and nobody needs to know.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17I'm really sorry, Mr Khan, but the mosque is booked.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21Look, Dave, you put me in a very difficult position.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23What am I supposed to say to my wife and daughter?

0:10:23 > 0:10:25I'm sure they'll understand.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27You haven't met my wife and daughter.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Mrs Malik.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Thank you.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40House looks nice.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Thank you.- The sofa's a little squeaky.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Thank you!

0:10:45 > 0:10:48So clever what you've done in such a small space.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Thank you.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Are you texting someone?- No. I'm praying to Mecca.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56There's an app for it now, innit?

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Wow. Amazing.

0:11:03 > 0:11:04HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Ah, here is Mr Khan now.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Darling, your favourite gulab jamun is home!

0:11:12 > 0:11:13Mrs Malik and Amjad are here!

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Hello, Mrs Khan. How are you?

0:11:16 > 0:11:20What a wonderful surprise, Mrs Malik.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23I wasn't expecting you till tomorrow. What delightful chance

0:11:23 > 0:11:26brings you here 24 hours flipping early?

0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Mrs Malik had some thoughts about the wedding.- What? Again?

0:11:31 > 0:11:34We're always talking about this bloody wedding.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Let's talk about something else.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Did anyone watch News At Ten last night?

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Seven times they mentioned Pakistan, huh?!

0:11:44 > 0:11:45Twice in a good way!

0:11:48 > 0:11:51It's going to be a wonderful occasion.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53The mosque is so lovely.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Mosque, shmosque.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Of course my husband is on the Mosque Committee.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Stop it now, Mrs Khan.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01He's very close to the management, very influential.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04I said stop it now, Mrs Khan!

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Wedding, wedding, wedding!

0:12:07 > 0:12:09I know. Let's play a game.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Alia, go get Monopoly for Mrs Malik, huh?

0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Yes, Papaji.- She's such a good girl.

0:12:15 > 0:12:20You know, whoever marries this one will have a real jewel.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22This one is OK, too.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Come on, Alia, choppity chop!

0:12:24 > 0:12:25I don't think so.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27You can be the doggy.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29No, we should be going.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32All right. Well, then, goodbye, Mrs Malik.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Won't you stay for something to eat?

0:12:34 > 0:12:37She said she wants to go. What's wrong with you, woman?

0:12:37 > 0:12:39But there's plenty of food.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Let go of Mrs Malik.- No, really.

0:12:41 > 0:12:46Mr Malik is taking me out to an Indian restaurant tonight.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48I want to look nice.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52You'll need to give yourself plenty of time for that then, won't you?

0:12:52 > 0:12:57So, we'll come round to see you tomorrow to discuss the guest list.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Yes.- Goodbye, Mrs Malik. Oh, hang on.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03- There you go.- I don't...

0:13:03 > 0:13:05Better take two, huh? Indian restaurant.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Bye, Shazia.- Bye, Amjad.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Hey, I like your...hairclip.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16All right! Put her down, will you?

0:13:16 > 0:13:20Save that till after marriage. Goodbye, Amjad.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25HE HUMS "DELILAH"

0:13:29 > 0:13:32CONTINUES HUMMING

0:13:32 > 0:13:34What was that all about?

0:13:34 > 0:13:37- What do you mean?- You didn't forget to book the mosque, did you?

0:13:37 > 0:13:38HE SIPS LOUDLY

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Ahhh.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44Hmm?

0:13:44 > 0:13:47The mosque. It's booked, isn't it?

0:13:47 > 0:13:50You know, when you think about it,

0:13:50 > 0:13:52is the mosque really the right place to have your wedding?

0:13:52 > 0:13:54What have you done?

0:13:54 > 0:13:59I just thought, wedding, mosque, something didn't feel right.

0:13:59 > 0:14:04- We're Muslim!- Yes, but what you have to remember is...

0:14:04 > 0:14:05So we haven't got the mosque?

0:14:05 > 0:14:08- No.- Dad! How could you do this to me?

0:14:08 > 0:14:11I told you as soon as we had the date for the wedding,

0:14:11 > 0:14:13book the mosque, but you, oh no...

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Leave him alone. It's not his fault! Is it, Papa?

0:14:16 > 0:14:17No.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Whose fault was it, then?

0:14:19 > 0:14:21It was Amjad's.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25- What?- Well, I told him to book it and he forgot.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26I should've known.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29He has a very limited mental capacity, that boy.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33Looks like a God, thinks like a monkey.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Amjad forgot to book the mosque! - I don't believe it.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38It's probably for the best, Papa.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Now you can hire somewhere less expensive.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Ah. I tell you. I love this girl.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46She's a bloody marvel.

0:14:46 > 0:14:47Almost like a son, she is!

0:14:49 > 0:14:51We haven't got time to find anywhere else now!

0:14:51 > 0:14:54There's lots of places. Conference centre,

0:14:54 > 0:14:57leisure centre, all the centres.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59He only had to do one thing.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Maybe he doesn't want to marry me.

0:15:01 > 0:15:02Maybe it's a sign or something!

0:15:02 > 0:15:04It's not a sign.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Oh, I'm so confused. I need some time to think.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09You haven't got time to think!

0:15:09 > 0:15:12The invitations will go out. People will book flights.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Oh, my God!

0:15:14 > 0:15:17The wedding will be postponed and the shame will destroy us all!

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Don't be ridiculous.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23I think my heart has stopped. I'm dead! You've killed me!

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Alia, your mother is upset. Bring fresh cup of tea.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30And bring one for her too.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33What are we going to say to the Maliks?

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Nothing.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37They don't need to know. She doesn't really mean it.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41Soon she'll calm down and it will all be back to normal.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Your mother is always panicking for no reason.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Don't panic, Captain Mainwaring!

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Chillax! Everything will be OK!

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Don't worry about letting the Maliks know.- See?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55I've texted Amjad. He'll tell them.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Now you can panic.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Right, Amjad, you're here. - Hello, sir.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Now, I know what you're thinking...

0:16:11 > 0:16:14I've made a mosque out of Lego so I can work out where everything goes.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15Right?

0:16:15 > 0:16:17This is me and this is Shazia.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Obviously she's not as beautiful as she is in real life.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22And I couldn't find any little brown people,

0:16:22 > 0:16:24so I coloured her in with the felt tips.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Right.- I thought that the buffet could go here,

0:16:27 > 0:16:29and the dance area could go...

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Let's not worry about that now, eh?

0:16:31 > 0:16:34The thing is, did you get a text from Shazia or not?

0:16:34 > 0:16:36I haven't received any texts.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40I used up all my battery trying to download the praying to Mecca app.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Why, what did it say?

0:16:42 > 0:16:43Oh, nothing important.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45It's just that Shazia is having

0:16:45 > 0:16:48what we call in the Pakistani community "a bit of a wobble".

0:16:48 > 0:16:51But I thought Shazia was as happy about this as I am.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54She's happy. That's probably why she doesn't want to get married.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56She's so damned happy!

0:16:56 > 0:16:58She doesn't want to get married?

0:16:58 > 0:17:01Not ever. Just not now.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Well...is there somebody else?

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Unfortunately not.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Then maybe it's something I've done?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Maybe. You never know with womens.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Could be something you did, something you didn't do,

0:17:13 > 0:17:16something you said, something you didn't say.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Best thing for you to do is just apologise for everything

0:17:18 > 0:17:21and it'll all be tickity boo.

0:17:21 > 0:17:22I know what's really happened here!

0:17:22 > 0:17:24You do? Who told you?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26I'm not good enough for her.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Oh, thank God.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32Why would a girl like really be interested in someone like me?

0:17:32 > 0:17:35It's a good question, but now is not the time to dwell on it.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37She's out of my league.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39- She's not.- She's so beautiful.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Not really...

0:17:41 > 0:17:43And she's clever and funny.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46I'm telling you, she's not that great!

0:17:46 > 0:17:48I've been kidding myself. She'll never want to marry me.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Of course she will. Now get up and get over there.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Come on! Come on!

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Come on! Come on!

0:18:00 > 0:18:02- What are you doing here, Dave? - It's my office.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Is everything all right? - He's suffering from low self-esteem.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07I'm not sure that's going to help.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10You know, Mr Qureshi never used to come barging in like this.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13I'm making a list of complaints about you, you know.

0:18:13 > 0:18:14AMJAD SOBS

0:18:14 > 0:18:18He's a bit upset because my daughter doesn't want to marry him any more.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Maybe I can help?- No, thank you.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22This is all your fault in the first place.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25If you'd let us book the mosque, none of this would've happened.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Is that why she's gone off me? Because you didn't book the mosque?

0:18:28 > 0:18:29No!

0:18:30 > 0:18:31Look I'm very sorry, Mr Khan.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34I did try speaking to Mrs Bilal but she won't budge.

0:18:34 > 0:18:35What's she got to do with it?

0:18:35 > 0:18:37She's got the mosque on the day you want it.

0:18:37 > 0:18:38Did you tell her it was for me?

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Yeah, and that just made it worse.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43But I'm a qualified counsellor. I've got a certificate!

0:18:43 > 0:18:47This is a family matter, not Gingerholics Anonymous.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49AMJAD SOBS

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Hey...

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Come on. You mustn't blame yourself. You have to stay positive.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Yes. Pull yourself together.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01If she doesn't want to get married, you mustn't let it get you down.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Exactly.- You need to just carry on with your life.

0:19:03 > 0:19:04Yes. Carry on.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06There will be someone else out there for you.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Always someone... What do you mean, "someone else"?!

0:19:09 > 0:19:12You're young. There's plenty more fish in the sea.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Dave!- He's right.- No, he's not!

0:19:15 > 0:19:17If Shazia has doubts about me,

0:19:17 > 0:19:19maybe it's best if we never see each other again.

0:19:19 > 0:19:20Let's talk just about this.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24No, my mind's made up. Tell Shazia I'm sorry.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26I forbid you to walk out that door!

0:19:26 > 0:19:28I forbid you to walk out the other door!

0:19:28 > 0:19:30DOOR SLAMS

0:19:30 > 0:19:32This is going on the list, Dave!

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Oh, my God! >

0:19:38 > 0:19:40He'll come round!

0:19:40 > 0:19:41Oh, my God!

0:19:41 > 0:19:43- It'll be OK.- Oh, my God!

0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's difficult to have a conversation with you

0:19:45 > 0:19:47when you're talking to someone else.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Shazia's locked herself in her bedroom.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Go and talk to her. Make her see sense.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55What, me? I've got to go to my Association meeting.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Which one looks more Presidential?

0:19:57 > 0:20:00The beigey brown one or the browny beige one?

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Don't you want your daughter to be happy?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Don't you want her to have what we have?

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Which is it? She can't have both.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13But the Maliks are supposed to be coming round tomorrow.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17They aren't coming round tomorrow, cos I'm meant to be going out.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Going out to do some shopping for Mummy.

0:20:21 > 0:20:22So sweet.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Do you really think the Maliks will let Amjad call off the wedding?

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Mr Malik knows the value of a good match.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31We are a very important family in the community.

0:20:31 > 0:20:32Don't ever forget that.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34"BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY" PLAYS

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Hello, Mr Malik!

0:20:39 > 0:20:41- HE WHISPERS:- This IS Mr Malik?

0:20:41 > 0:20:42Yes!

0:20:42 > 0:20:44Of course!

0:20:44 > 0:20:46- I know. - HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

0:20:48 > 0:20:51I know.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Yes, no problem, Mr Malik.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58Thank you! OK. Goodbye, Mr Malik.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01That was Mr Malik.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05- And?- The wedding is off.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09KNOCK ON DOOR

0:21:09 > 0:21:10Hello, sweetie!

0:21:12 > 0:21:13Can I come in?

0:21:13 > 0:21:16I want to talk to you, darling.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18It's me.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Your father.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Mr Khan.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29I want to talk to you about something very important.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32You. You are very important to me.

0:21:34 > 0:21:39Open the bloody door... My sweetie darling.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Oh.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46This is very nice. Lovely room.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52I'm so glad we're having this heart to heart talk.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56It feels very easy and not uncomfortable at all, does it?

0:21:58 > 0:22:03Oh. I love these dresses and shoes, etc...

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Why are you doing this? - Doing what, sweetie?

0:22:07 > 0:22:10Pretending to care. I know Mum sent you up here.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13No! Your mother didn't send me up here.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16I didn't send him, beti, he came of his own accord! >

0:22:16 > 0:22:19See? Look, beti.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22I know you're hurting now,

0:22:22 > 0:22:26but you must look to the future, and not think of the past.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28The future is where good things happen,

0:22:28 > 0:22:34and the past is filled with shame and sadness and failure.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39- You know, when I first came to this country...- Just tell her!

0:22:39 > 0:22:41I am!

0:22:41 > 0:22:46If Amjad cared about me he wouldn't have forgotten to book the mosque.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50Right, sweetie. About the mosque.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52It's not about the mosque. That's not even important.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Thank God for that!

0:22:55 > 0:22:58I just need to be sure he loves me as much as I love him.

0:22:58 > 0:23:03You're getting married. He's your fiancee.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05What's love got to do with it?

0:23:05 > 0:23:09You can't marry someone you're not in love with.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11You fell in love with Mum, didn't you?

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Eventually.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16But it was touch and go.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Look, sweetie.

0:23:25 > 0:23:31You get married to Amjad, you settle down, have some children.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33It's not a bad life, is it?

0:23:35 > 0:23:37But what if it's a mistake?

0:23:37 > 0:23:40What if I go ahead with it and we're not right for each other?

0:23:40 > 0:23:42And I spend the rest of my life regretting it

0:23:42 > 0:23:47and dreaming of what might've been. You do understand don't you, Dad?

0:23:47 > 0:23:51I can't force myself to marry someone.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53I suppose.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55But we're Pakistani. You can give it a go!

0:24:00 > 0:24:01Well?!

0:24:01 > 0:24:05- The wedding is off. - Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

0:24:05 > 0:24:06Don't start that again.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09- She doesn't want to marry Amjad and I agree with her.- Why?

0:24:09 > 0:24:13Well, there's no rush. She's young and the boy's obviously an idiot.

0:24:13 > 0:24:14What's that got to do with it?

0:24:14 > 0:24:16What kind of woman wants to marry an idiot?

0:24:21 > 0:24:23My life is over.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25I'll never be able to show my face

0:24:25 > 0:24:27at the Sparkhill Women's Day Group again.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Oh, well. I've got to go to my meeting now.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33You don't want her to ever get married.

0:24:33 > 0:24:34All you're interested in is money

0:24:34 > 0:24:37and being big shot in the Business Association.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40That's not true! I am also interested in the cricket!

0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Hello, sir.- Now listen to me, Amjad.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47I have to talk to Shazia.

0:24:47 > 0:24:48- You can't.- Just give me two minutes.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51She doesn't... What are you going to do in two minutes?

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Three minutes then.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56I'm sorry. It's too late. Her mind is made up.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59- What do you mean?- The wedding is off, so now you know. Goodbye.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Shazia! Oh, Shazia!

0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Amjad?- Shazia? - You're wasting your time.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Amjad!- Oh, Shazia! I am so sorry.

0:25:08 > 0:25:09No, I'm sorry.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11No, I am sorry.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15- No, I'm sorry.- That's it, say your last goodbyes.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Oh, Ladoo.- Oh, Budhoo.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Oh, Ladoo.- Oh, Budhoo.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Now I'm confused. Is the wedding on or off?

0:25:24 > 0:25:26- On, of course. - But what about the mosque?

0:25:26 > 0:25:28Never mind about the mosque.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Oh yeah. What about the mosque?

0:25:30 > 0:25:32- I don't care about the mosque. - Neither do I.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34See, nobody cares about the mosque.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36I do.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39But don't worry, beti.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Your father will sort it all out. Won't you?

0:25:43 > 0:25:44Of course.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:25:49 > 0:25:53I knew you'd come back for me. Could you feel me wishing it?

0:25:53 > 0:25:57A little bit. But it was mainly the text from Alia.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00- What?- I just wanted you to be happy, sis.

0:26:00 > 0:26:05Right, I'm going to do my homework in my room. Khuda hafiz.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Such a good girl.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18I'm so glad the wedding is back on.

0:26:18 > 0:26:23It was never off. These two are destined for each other.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27And of course you worked wonders to get the mosque booked.

0:26:27 > 0:26:32Oh I didn't do anything. It was all down to my husband.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34However did you manage it?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36I don't want to talk about it.

0:26:36 > 0:26:41Don't worry, Mr Khan. You can drive the president another day.
