Kaante (2002)

Arnie Alpert: Loc-up cop

Quotes 

• Maqbool Haider 'Mak' : [Movie's opening lines in background narration]  Los Angeles, 12th may, 2000. Where we 6 punters met for the first time. We thought we'd conquer the world. We got busted.

  [Camera on Sanjay Dutt with all 6 in the lock-up in background narration] 

  Maqbool Haider 'Mak' : Ajju. It was all his idea from the start.

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : [In present tense]  One day or the other we're all going to hell. If we accomplish this task, we can go in a limousine, else on foot.

  Raj Yadav 'Baali' : You're most welcome to have that limousine of yours, I'd go walking. It's better than being carried on 4 shoulders.

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : Common blonde, can't you understand a simple thing ?

  Maqbool Haider 'Mak' : [Camera on Mahesh Manjrekar in background narration]  Baali. Piercing in his ears, abuses in his mouth, nothing inside his brain.

  Raj Yadav 'Baali' : What're you gonna explain me ? You think of this as some cooperative bank of Kolhapur where you'll put the gun on the guard's head, the guard will signal the cashier and the cashier will give you the money gift wrapped with birthday greetings ? It's the United States you idiot, barely within 2 minutes you'll be back here with the cops "celebrating" your birthday.

  Maqbool Haider 'Mak' : [Background narration]  For the first and only time in his life had Baali spoken something sensible.

  [Camera turns to Amitabh Bachchan in background narration] 

  Maqbool Haider 'Mak' : Major. Why Major was called so known only to him or his past, but we were more concerned with our present. Major said..

  Yashvardhan Rampal 'Major' : Ajju is right.

  Raj Yadav 'Baali' : Bullshit. Whether you go right or left, you're coming back here.

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : [Replying angrily to Mahesh Manjrekar]  Alright scary cat, you're absolutely right.

  Raj Yadav 'Baali' : [Replying angrily to Sanjay Dutt]  Sure I am.

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : [Replying frustrated to Mahesh Manjrekar]  The day we think of robbing a poultry farm, I'll let you know. Damn chicken.

  Raj Yadav 'Baali' : [Replying infuriated to Sanjay Dutt]  Hey don't you dare call me a

  [stuttering] 

  Raj Yadav 'Baali' : ch... .

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : [Replying to Mahesh Manjrekar]  Yeah yeah Chicken.

  [Asking Lucky Ali] 

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : Hey, what do you say ?

  Maqbool Haider 'Mak' : [Camera on Lucky Ali in background narration]  And that's me. I always kept thinking. Now I think why I didn't think then.

  [Replying to Sanjay Dutt in present tense] 

  Maqbool Haider 'Mak' : I'll think it over and let you know.

  Anand Mathur 'Andy' : How much cash can we score ?

  Maqbool Haider 'Mak' : [Camera on Kumar Gaurav in background narration]  Andy. He held a masters degree in software development. For the development of this plan to go ahead, his presence was necessary.

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : [Replying to Kumar Gaurav]  As much as you can count.

  Anand Mathur 'Andy' : Even then, how much ?

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : Question isn't whether how much alcohol's in the bar. Question is how much can you consume.

  Marc Issak : And Macquarie ? What about him ?

  Maqbool Haider 'Mak' : [Camera on Suniel Shetty in background narration]  Marc. Was a bouncer in a club. From there he simply bounced and landed amongst us.

  Yashvardhan Rampal 'Major' : [Replying to Suniel Shetty]  He'll intervene only when he comes to know about it. And by the time he realises what's just happened..

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : [Continuing to Amitabh Bachchan]  You'd be back in India having opened a dance bar with your girlfriend. And the rest of us will come over to watch her perform.

  Marc Issak : [Snapping at Sanjay Dutt but restrained by Amitabh Bachchan]  Ajju that's it. Don't dare say anything about her.

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : [Jokingly responding to Suniel Shetty]  Hey Marc, I am terrified. Here take a look, my hands are crumbling.

  Anand Mathur 'Andy' : What if the cops show up ?

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : They won't.

  Anand Mathur 'Andy' : And WHAT IF they do ?

  Yashvardhan Rampal 'Major' : [Replying to Kumar Gaurav]  So we'll send them back.

  Marc Issak : Can't we do something which has less risk involved ?

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : [Responding to Suniel Shetty]  Fate wants to heat up a king size bed for you. And you still want to sleep on a sofa ?

  Marc Issak : [Replying to Sanjay Dutt]  Fate is the whore which wouldn't sleep with me even if I pay her. Got that.

  Yashvardhan Rampal 'Major' : [Sarcastically]  Fate ? Even if we all try our level best, these guys are gonna ensure we never fulfill our destiny. Whenever there's a chain snatching in the city, these guys grab our necks. If there's a theft, there's a search warrant for our houses. Imagine, the Italians have their MAFIA, the Colombians have their CARTELS. And all of them are so organized that no cop in the city can dare enter their neighborhoods. And what the hell have we Indians got but criminal records. If a truck jacking takes place here, the witness standing 400 feet away testifies that must've been an Indian. Damn, even an elephant looks like a mole from 400 feet. The tag of uncommitted crimes will forever go with us till the day we've money to buy our innocence.

  Maqbool Haider 'Mak' : [In background narration]  Major was a brilliant orator. Had he spoken these lines on the screen, he'd have got an Oscar. He spoke these in reality, got a bullet. Major got us all curious.

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : Think it over. We've time.

  Yashvardhan Rampal 'Major' : And a plan too.

  Loc-up cop : [Banging his baton on the lock-up]  Alright, you're free for now.

  Jay Rehan 'Ajju' : In case anyone amongst you gets his brain ticking, come over to Club Niagara tonight. I'll be waiting.

  Yashvardhan Rampal 'Major' : [Replying to Sanjay Dutt]  WE. We shall be waiting.

  [And the title credits roll]
