Main Manto Nahi Hoon Episode 2, Scene, Siraj, Mian Ji, Naseeba and Suraya.


(Asif Raza Mir as Siraj, Dialogue), Yes, I am not what you think of me. Yes, Mr. Mian. There was a mistake in the report.
He misunderstood the car’s number. Error of transposition. That car was not his son’s.
No, no, no. No one died, Mr. Mian. Four bullets hit the bonnet and four tires.
(Mian Ji, Dialogue), One pigeon has also died, Siraj.
(Siraj, Dialogue), Now you will talk about the death of a pigeon, Mr. Mian.
(Mian Ji, Dialogue), It is not a good peace for a pigeon to die, Siraj.
Where the pigeons die, so does the peace. Pigeons also die. Understand, Siraj.
It is not a good peace for a pigeon to die, Siraj. I will hang up now, Mr. Mian. My fate is coming.
We will talk later when we meet.

(Saba Faisal as Naseeba, Dialogue), Here, have some sweets.
(Siraj , Dialogue), Don’t make me eat sweets.
He is safe. His son was not in the car.
(Saima Noor as Suraya Dialogue), This is not the sweet of death, Siraj.
(Naseeba, Dialogue), Today is the first day of your love at the university.
(Siraj , Dialogue), Bismillah, Bismillah. Here, you also eat.
Main Manto Nahi Hoon Episode 2, Scene, Mehmal conversation her class fellow

(Saajal Ali as Mehmal, Dialogue), Why are you guys scared?
(Mehmal, class fellow, dialogue), Didn’t you say that your father has committed 108 murders?
(Mehmal, Dialogue), When did I say father? I was talking about my family. What do you mean by family? I mean that we have been murdering people for the last 70 years. My father is only 57 years old.
Are you really Siraj Amritsari’s daughter? Of course.
Any doubt? No, I don’t have any doubt. You don’t look like murderers.
Even if I get a chance, I won’t do it. I don’t like murdering. Hi guys.
Hello. Hi. Hi.
Sorry. My aunt told me that I can’t shake hands with boys. But my father told me that if a boy bothers you, I will deal with him.

Give me a puff, please. Any other question?
Didn’t your aunt tell you not to smoke with boys?
I don’t smoke. Sometimes I use a puff.
In tension, 3-4 puffs and in excitement, 10-12 puffs. 10-12 cigarettes?
It’s not a cigarette, it’s a puff. In excitement, tension increases.
So, I use a puff sometimes. Why are you doing a BBA?
I mean, why do you need to study business?
It’s my father’s business. Actually, my brother can’t drive, so… How many brothers do you have?
Two.
One is sick and the other is in jail. Sir, it’s Manto’s class. Let’s go.
Let’s go. Sir, Manto’s class?
I’ve heard the name before. Good morning.
(Main Manto Nahi Hoon Episode 2, Scene ,Sir Manto give a lecture)


(Hamayon Saeed as Sir Manto, Dialogue), Maslow’s Theory of Hierarchy. This is our topic of discussion today. Why is the chair empty? Come and sit here.
No, sir. I’m fine here. I’m fine here too.
Why? This seat is reserved, sir. What do you mean by reserved? Sir, Ms. Mehmal was saying that she’ll sit on the seat in the middle of the first row. And who is Ms. Mehmal? Sir, she’s a new admission.
Isn’t she the girl who came from Amritsar? She didn’t come from Amritsar. Siraj is Amritsari’s daughter. And where is she? She’s smoking outside the canteen, sir.
She’s smoking outside the canteen? How can she do that? She’s smoking out of excitement, sir. She was very excited to get admission. Is this girl the daughter of a very rich man? No, sir.
She’s Siraj Amritsari’s daughter. Siraj Amritsari’s daughter. She smokes outside the canteen.
She sits on the seat in the middle of the first row. Wow. Let’s see.
So, let’s start our lecture. This is Maslow’s Hierarchy of… Excuse me. Are you Mehmal?
(Mehmal replied),Yes, sir.
(Manto, dialogue), Daughter of Siraj Amritsari.
(Mehmal, Dialogue), Yes, sir.
(Sir, Manto) And you didn’t ask for my permission to come in.
(Mehmal, Dialogue),Sorry, sir. May I come in, sir?
(Manto, dialogue), Yes, sir. Do you think it’s a joke?
(Mehmal, Dialogue), No, sir.
(Sir, Manto, dialogue), Pick up your books and bags and leave, please.
(Mehmal , Dialogue), Yes, sir.
(Sir, Manto, Dialogue), Leave the class, please.
Are you sure, sir? Any doubt? No, sir. Then leave. Sir, you might not believe this.
She’s actually Siraj Amritsari’s daughter. Who is Siraj Amritsari? Is she some don of the city? Yes, sir. She’s the biggest don of the city.

(Sir, Manto, Dialogue), I thought you were trying to scare me by saying Siraj Amritsari. Tell me the truth.
(Mehmal, Dialogue), What?
(Sir, Manto, Dialogue), Swear that you’re Siraj Amritsari’s daughter.
(Mehmal, Dialogue), Why should I swear? I’m Siraj Amritsari’s daughter.
(Sir, Manto, Dialogue), Then say Siraj Amritsari Sahib. Say it.
I think if I meet him, I’ll become friends with him.
(Mehmal , Dialogue), How?
(Sir Manto, Dialogue), Because of you. You’ll go and tell him that Sirmanto is like this, Sirmanto is like that.
He’s my favourite teacher. Then he’ll ask you to call him and invite him at home. I don’t go anywhere.
But if he calls me, I’ll definitely go. I can’t refuse. That’s like a good girl.
Didn’t you see? You don’t look like a don’s daughter. Look at you now. You’re angry.
You don’t look angry. When you fight, you don’t get angry. So you slap as much as you can.
Right? I’m sure you don’t have a gun in your bag. You don’t, right? I don’t. Different.
(Main Manto Nahi Hoon Episode 2, Scene, Sir Manto And University Principal conversation about Mehmal study)
Absolutely different. If a don’s daughter studies in a business administration, what will decent kids study? Be positive, Mr. Manto. If a don’s daughter studies, the community will benefit.
Education will spread among the brothers. True, sir. Very true.
But you don’t understand, sir. The goons’ daughters will sit in the class and fight. They’ll call their father’s goons for every little thing.
The students will get scared, sir. The teachers will get scared. Come on, Manto.
Dons are humans like us. They talk like us. Nothing different.
Very nice, sir. They don’t talk like us, sir. I know.
They’re a little loud. Even if they’re not loud, their expressions are loud. What’s a fadde, sir? You don’t know what a fadde is? No.
First say thank you to me. Thank you for what? I told you what a fadde is. You’re scared, right? Aren’t you? I am, Mr. Manto.
But I’m thinking positively. We’re going to turn a goon family into a business family. What an experience! Can you imagine?
(Main Manto Nahi Hoon Episode 2, Scene, Sir Manto and Pro. Maria)


You bumped into each other, Mr. Manto.
No, I didn’t. I was leaving. I mean, I’m leaving.
Then come to the staff room. Let’s go. Sir, Manto was scared as if his father had killed him.
His men had already arrived. His men? You mean the guards? Yes. So what? I thought it wouldn’t look good.
After all he’s my teacher. Here. Drink this.
Drink it. What happened, Mr. Manto? Nothing. I was just thirsty.
You were very thirsty. You look worried. Is it because of that new girl? I heard she’s a don’s daughter.
No, no. He’s a gentleman. He’s a good man.
Are you alright, Mr. Manto? Yes. I got angry when she was smoking in the canteen. But I was wrong.
She doesn’t smoke. She only takes 3-4 puffs. Like kids do in excitement.
To be cool. Boys smoke too. Yes, but they should not be smoking on campus.
I have a class. I’m leaving. What did you say? Ghatakhat.
Nice word. Drink ghatakhat water, ghatakhat tea. Please, Mr. Manto.
Don’t drink ghatakhat tea. Of course not. It’ll burn your mouth.
(Main Manto Nahi Hoon Episode 2, Scene, Pro, Maria in Classroom)

(Pro, Maria, Dialogue), Okay, guys. Good luck.
(Student replied Miss Maria), Good morning.
(Pro, Maria, Dialogue), Good morning. You must be the new student?
(Mehmal replied), Yes, ma’am.
(Pro, Maria, Dialogue), You’re smoking a lot. Smoked a cigarette on your first day. Made a group of friends. It’s good.
You’re here to study, right?
(Mehmal replied), Yes, ma’am.
(Pro , Maria, Dialogue), Promise me you won’t smoke on the premises again then.
(Mehmal, Dialogue), I promise.
And you won’t be late to my class?
(Mehmal , Dialogue), I won’t be late.
(Pro, Maria , Dialogue), And sometimes you won’t even sit on this chair. It’s not reserved for you.
(Mehmal, replied), I won’t. I’ll sit here.
(Pro, Maria, Dialogue), Great, thanks.
Yesterday we were discussing equi-marginal utility. But we ran out of time. So I hope you all finished it on time.
Yes?
Did I take a roll call or are you all here? Everyone’s here?
Okay, great.
Please open up your books or copies, whatever you have.
(Main Manto Nahi Hoon Episode 2, Scene, Sir Manto and veterinary Doctor)

(Sir Manto, Dialogue), Greetings.
(Dr. Dialogue), Greetings, Professor. The pigeon is alive. But it will stay here for a couple of days.
Under observation, you know.
(Sir, Manto, Dialogue), Thank you, Doctor. What’s your fee?
(Dr, Dialogue ), Fee? No, no, no fee.
If I survive, I’ll pray for you. That’s my fee. In fact, I’ll pray for you too.
Oh, I’ve heard that if you pray for a pigeon, your wife doesn’t scold you. Your wife doesn’t scold you. You’re laughing too.
That means your wife scolds you.
(Sir Manto,y), No, no.
(Dr, Dialogue ), She doesn’t scold you? That’s not possible.
You should get her checked. I admit that I’m an animal doctor. But you brought her here.
People say that I say something that no matter whose wife I am, she starts scolding me.
(Sir, Manto , Dialogue), She’s not my wife, Doctor.
(Dr, Dialogue), What? No, no, it’s a bad thing.
Don’t say that.
(Sir, Manto, Dialogue), She’s not my wife.
(Dr, Dialogue), Then get married.You’ll get a wife if you get married. Do you understand? Sir, wash your face. I have to give her an injection.
(Main Manto Nahi Hoon Episode 2, Scene, Mehmal and Suraya)

(Mehmal, Dialogue), Mr. Manto is a coward, Phoppo. He’s very scared of his father.
Suraya, Dialogue), Who isn’t scared of your father? How does he look?
(Mehmal replied), Handsome.
(Suraya Dialogue), How old will he be?
(Mehmal, Dialogue), He’ll be above 40.
(Suraya , replied), That’s good. At this age, handsome boys get married.
(Mehmal, replied), He’s not a boy.
(Suraya , Dialogue), Whether a man is 60 or 22, he’s still a boy. Girls are above 40, not boys.
Go on.
(Mehmal, Dialogue), What should I say?
(Suraya , Dialogue), Who else is there? Did you make friends in class?
(Mehmal , Dialogue), Yes. I made friends with three girls. Salma, Aliaha, Rubab.
(Suraya , Dialogue), There are no boys in your class.
(Mehmal , Dialogue), I didn’t count them.
No, one said, let’s be friends. Who said that? One of them even shook hands.
(Suraya, Dialogue), You shook hands?
(Mehmal, Dialogue), No, Phoppo.
He raised his hand to shake hands. I said, no. Phoppo said not to shake hands with boys.
(Main Manto Nahi Hoon, Episode 2, Scene,Miss Maria and Sir Manto Dialogue)

No, aunty. That’s not possible. You should get them checked.
I agree I’m a vet, but you brought them here. People say, if I say something, my wife starts scolding me. She’s not my wife, doctor.
No, that’s not true. She’s not my wife. Then get married.
You get a wife when you get married. Do you understand?

I made a carrot halwa. Move aside.
When I started eating, I didn’t want anyone to praise my halwa. It’s a shame. Isn’t it? No, aunty.
It looks good. Now, eat it. Then praise it.
Here. That’s enough. Okay.
If you like it, take two more spoons. I’ll think you’re praising it. Mr. Manto, when neighbours come home with halwa, we tell them to sit.

I’ve told you before, you come and sit. Please, sit. Do you know why I made carrot halwa today? Why? He came again today.
Feroz? Yes. I know he likes this halwa. Yes, he came.
When I rang the bell, he was smiling. Smiling? Innocent. I even used your name today.
Kasbal. It didn’t work. Then? Did you meet him? Which meeting? Last night.
I made him walk through the door. You told him to leave? Yes. You’re very ruthless.
You won’t understand, Mr. Manto. When you hate your lover, it’s more than love. You speak thick Urdu.
Thick Urdu? You think you know English? I know. Any doubt? Have you ever dreamt in English? No. Then you don’t know.
Sir Manto and Miss Maria Talk About Her Crushed
Okay, let’s talk about Feroz. I told you. I crushed him.
Then why did you make halwa? You know, Mr. Manto, even if a dog stays with you for 6-7 years, it remembers you. And the one who bites you, never forgets you. He’s nothing to me, Mr. Manto.
But he’s something to me. He’s not in my heart, but I remember him. Still in love? Do you know Love Chef? Of course, I know.
You don’t know, Mr. Manto. We’ll sit down and have a separate discussion on love. For what? We’ll discuss love.
We love, Mr. Manto. We don’t discuss it. According to Maslow’s theory of hierarchy, love comes second.
And in the theory of lovers, it comes first. Then what will you discuss? You eat halwa. Have fun.
We’ll meet at the university tomorrow.
(Main Manto Nahi Hoon Episode 2, Scene, Naseeba and Mahmal)

(Naseeba,Dialogue), You talk to your aunt. When you sit with me, you hold your tongue under your pocket.
(Naseeba, Dialogue), My aunt is my friend, my best friend.
(Naseeba, Dialogue), And who am I? You’re my mother.
(Naseeba, Dialogue), There’s no friendlier than a mother, Mehmal.
(Mehmal, Dialogue), I’ve heard that, but I’ve only heard it. She adores you. She makes you drink something.
That’s why you stick with her. Go, talk to her. She’ll pamper you.
(Mehmal, Dialogue), Stop it, Mother. Increase your love for me. Then you’ll see how I pamper my aunt.
(Naseeba, Dialogue), Liar. You’re late. How was your first day at the university?
(Mehmal, Dialogue), This is the third time I’m asking you this.
The first day, I came from school. The first day, I went to college. And the first day, I came from the university.
And the first day, I came from the university. Did you ask me anything in between?
(Naseeba, Dialogue), I don’t know anything in between. All in all, I went to school.
I remember that. A blue frock, a white shalwar, a white dupatta. When I was an intern, I was in your father’s room.
At the time of graduation, I was the mother of two sons. I thought I had passed my MA. Now I’m just afraid of my future studies.
(Mehmal, Dialogue), What will you study in the future, Mother?
(Naseeba, Dialogue), MPhil. PhD. I think it will be after someone’s death. Anyway. If it was a custom to kill women, I wouldn’t be here today, Khadija. I’ll see how you do your MBA.
(Main Manto Nahi Hoon Episode 2, Scene, Siraj and his Son Noraiz)


(Siraj, Dialogue), You listen to me carefully. Don’t cry. If Binyamin finds out, he’ll laugh.
I hate the laughter of the enemy. Do you know? When you were shot, Binyamin called me. He said, Noraiz is dead.
I said, no. He didn’t listen and started laughing. I still hear his laughter.
I still hear his laughter in my ears. Be brave. Shake hands.
The doctor says, you’ll live a long life if you show your male power. Live a long life, man. Tell this to him as well.
Or tell him with experience.
(Siraj, daughter-in-law , dialogue), How long will he live? I’ve heard you don’t kill children. Sit with your head held high, daughter-in-law.
(Siraj, Dialogue), My head is held high. That’s why I’m against love marriage. Those who love, give birth to cowards.
Tell this to him as well. Or tell him with experience. How long will he live? I’ve heard you don’t kill children.

(Naseeba, Dialogue), What happened?
(Naseeba, daughter-in-law, dialogue), Dad came to the room to talk to Noraiz. I said something wrong there. He left in a fit of anger.
(Naseeba, Dialogue), What did you say?
In front of me. You didn’t say this. Your mother said this, daughter-in-law.
So don’t be scared. A mother can say anything. I know reconciliation can’t make up for your loss.
(Main Manto Nahi Hoon Episode 2, scene, Siraj and Suraya)

(Suraya, Dialogue), Siraj. Why do you come to my room day and night? Today is neither Eid nor day and night. Sit.
(Siraj, Dialogue), But you can’t get your sons back from the death of their sons. In a 70 year war, 218 people died on both sides. Those who died, left.
Those who are alive, are buried in front of our eyes. I’ve seen it many times. Your nephew is not coming out of the house.
When he used to come out of the house, fate used to look at him as if it was the last time. When Noraiz used to come late, a widow’s face used to be visible on Uzma’s face. And now look, a widow’s face is left on Uzma’s face.
Don’t think that I listened to Mr. Mian and agreed. He keeps saying, what you want will happen. Out of 218, 108 are his and 110 are ours.
(Suraya, Dialogue), The only difference is between those two sons, who are yours. You have become a coward, Siraj. Otherwise, you used to say, that in the houses of Amritsari, sons are born to play Holi.
Do you remember? At that time, I used to embrace my children. I used to get scared and used to say, Siraj, these are children without a father. Desperate and poor.
And look at me today. I don’t even have those poor children. Show me your hand.
Aren’t you scared? You don’t pick up a gun. Then teach me. I tell Mehmal, now it is our responsibility to take revenge.
Should I take Mehmal along? Or will you save your children?
