>> But my mom loves spicy food. >> H, that is a problem. >> Why is it a problem?

>> Because I am the cook today. >> Oh, really? Since when? >> Since 5 minutes ago.

>> Okay, chef. Then add these spices. That is too much chili. >> No, it is perfect.

>> My mouth is already burning. >> You are so dramatic. >> I am serious.

>> My mom will love it. >> But I will cry while eating. >> Then drink more water.

>> That is not funny. >> Fine, we will make two versions. >> What do you mean? One spicy and one

non-spicy. >> Now that is a smart idea. >> See, I always have good ideas.

>> Sometimes, not always. >> Hey, that is rude. >> I am joking.

>> Actually, it is very delicious. Of course it is. >> Your mom will be very happy.

>> That is what I want. >> Today is a special day. >> Yes, family dinner.

>> Interesting. >> It is very spicy. >> I knew it.

>> Oh no. >> My mouth is on fire. Wait, I will bring water.

>> Here, drink this. >> Thank you. Oh, wow. That was strong. >> I am so sorry, Mom.

>> Don't worry. It is actually funny. >> I added too much chili. >> You added half the bottle.

>> That was an accident. >> I like spicy food, but not this spicy. Try the pasta instead.

>> Okay, let me try it. H, this is perfect. >> Really? >> Yes. Very delicious.

>> That is a relief. >> I will eat the spicy noodles myself. >> Are you sure?

>> Yes, I made them. >> That is fair. >> Oh, wow.

>> What happened? >> My mouth is burning, too. Now you understand.

>> I think she really likes our home. >> That makes me very happy. >> What is the plan for tomorrow?

>> I was thinking about that. >> Tell me your idea. We should take mom shopping.

>> Shopping? That sounds dangerous. >> Why dangerous? >> Because shopping means spending money.

>> Don't worry, we will not buy the whole mall. >> That is good to hear.

>> She likes local markets. >> Then we can take her to the city market. >> Yes, she loves handmade things

>> and street food, too. H maybe not too much street food. >> Why not? It is delicious.

>> But sometimes it is too spicy. >> After tonight, I understand spicy problems.

[laughter] >> Poor Rishi. >> My mouth is still burning.

>> After shopping, we can show her the city. >> Good idea.

>> We can visit the river park. >> The park is nice. And maybe the art museum.

>> The museum? >> Yes. Why not? >> Museums are a little boring.

>> They are not boring. >> You look at paintings for hours. >> That is called enjoying art.

>> I call it standing quietly. >> Okay, Mr. Funny. >> Let's take her somewhere exciting.

>> Like where? The city viewpoint on the hill. >> Oh, that place is beautiful.

>> The sunset there is amazing. >> Mom will love that. >> Then it is decided.

>> Morning shopping, >> afternoon city tour >> and sunset at the hill viewpoint.

>> Perfect plan. >> Tomorrow will be fun. >> Yes, a small adventure.

My mom will enjoy it >> and we will too. >> Okay, we should sleep now.

>> Yes, big day tomorrow. >> Good night, Rishi. >> Good morning, Emily.

>> Good morning, Mom. >> Good morning. Did you sleep well? >> Yes, very well. Your home is very

comfortable. >> That makes me happy. I smell something nice.

>> Breakfast is ready. >> Oh, wow. You cooked again. >> Just something simple.

>> Toast, eggs, and tea. >> That sounds perfect. >> Please sit here.

>> Thank you, my dear. >> Today looks like a beautiful day. >> Yes, the weather is lovely.

>> Mom, we want to tell you something. Something serious? >> No, something fun.

>> Now I am curious. >> We made a plan for today. >> A plan? What plan?

>> A surprise plan. >> Oh, I like surprises. >> Today we are taking you around the city.

>> Really? >> Yes. A small city trip. >> That sounds exciting.

First, we go to the local market. >> I love local markets. >> Then we will visit the river park.

>> Oh, that sounds beautiful. >> After that, we go to the city viewpoint. >> The viewpoint on the hill?

>> Yes, the sunset there is amazing. >> That is a wonderful plan. Are you happy? Of course, I am very

happy. >> Today will be an adventure. >> I haven't explored a new city in a long

time. >> Then today is perfect. Thank you both for planning this.

>> It was Emily's idea. >> Hey, it was our idea. You two are a great team.

>> We try our best. >> Finish breakfast first. Yes, I need energy for shopping.

>> That is the dangerous part. >> Why dangerous? >> Because shopping means spending money.

>> Don't worry, Mom. Mom is a smart shopper. Of course, I am.

>> I feel safer now. >> After breakfast, we will leave. Should I get ready now?

Yes. Wear comfortable shoes. Good idea. Today we will walk a lot.

>> I am ready for the adventure. I am excited already. >> Me too.

>> What do you mean by that? >> Nothing. I'm just saying. Then please don't complain.

>> I am not complaining. I'm waiting. >> Waiting is not a crime. >> But we are getting late for the wedding.

>> Relax. Weddings always start late. >> The invitation said 700 p.m. >> Yes, but nobody reaches exactly at 7.

I've been ready since 6:00 p.m. >> Good. That means you are responsible. >> Responsible? I feel like a statue near

the door. >> Don't be dramatic. >> I am not dramatic. I am hungry.

>> There will be a lot of food at the wedding. >> If we reach there on time,

>> we will reach Lisa, please hurry. >> Just two minutes more

>> again. 2 minutes. >> Yes, only 2 minutes. >> I don't trust your 2 minutes anymore.

>> That is very rude. >> I'm just being honest. >> Do you want me to look nice or not?

>> Of course I do. Then please be patient. >> I'm trying. >> Look, I am almost ready.

>> You said that 15 minutes ago, too, >> Alex. >> Okay. Okay, I'm quiet now.

>> Good. >> But the traffic will be terrible. >> Stop thinking about traffic.

Someone must think about it. >> You worry too much. >> And you take too much time.

>> That is because I want to look perfect. >> You already look perfect. >> Really?

>> Yes. But only if we reach the wedding today. [laughter]

>> Very funny. So, are the famous 2 minutes over? >> Yes, I'm ready now.

>> Finally. >> Wait, I forgot my earrings. >> Oh, no. Please don't say 2 minutes

again. >> Just one minute this time. >> I knew it.

>> Hi, Lisa. When did you come? Hi Maya, I just came. Am I late? >> Just a little late.

>> Oh, thank God. There was a lot of traffic. >> Yes, traffic is always crazy during

weddings. >> When did you come? >> I came here about 1 hour ago.

>> Oh, really? Then you must have seen everything. almost everything.

>> Where's the new couple? I mean, the bride and groom. >> They have not come out yet.

>> Oh, that means I am on time. >> Yes, you are still on time. >> Did you come alone?

>> No, I came with my husband. >> Where is he? He is near the food counter talking with

his friends. >> Oh, I see. My husband is parking the car.

>> Okay. Okay. >> By the way, you look very beautiful today.

>> Thank you so much. >> I love your dress. >> Really?

>> Yes. It suits you perfectly. >> Thank you. And you look very special today.

>> That is very kind of you. >> Where did you buy this dress? >> I bought it online.

>> Really? It looks expensive. >> No, it was actually on discount. >> That is amazing.

Do you like it? >> Yes, it is perfect on you. >> Thank you, Maya.

>> Look around. The decoration is beautiful. >> Yes, the lights look magical

>> and those flowers smell so nice. >> I think they spent a lot on decoration. Definitely. Everything looks grand.

>> Have you tried the food yet? >> Yes, I already tried the starters. >> How are they?

>> Very delicious. Especially the paneer tikka. >> Oh, really? I love paneer tikka.

>> Then you must try it. I will definitely try it. >> And the sweets are also amazing.

>> I can see a big dessert counter there. >> Yes, there are so many options. >> Weddings are the best place for food.

>> That is true. >> I also like watching people's dresses at weddings.

Me too. Everyone tries to look their best. >> Look at that red dress over there.

Yes, it looks very elegant. >> Weddings feel like fashion shows sometimes.

[laughter] >> That is very true. >> Oh, look. I think the bride and groom

are coming. Yes, everyone is moving toward the stage.

>> Let's go and see them. >> Yes. And after that, we can take some photos.

>> Great idea. >> Come on, let's go. Oh, I am so sorry.

>> Oh, it's okay. >> I didn't see you. Are you all right? >> Yes, I am perfectly fine.

>> I almost dropped a plate. >> And I almost dropped mine, too. >> I feel really embarrassed.

>> Please don't worry. Accidents happen. >> Thank you for being so kind. >> Actually, I should thank you.

>> Thank me? Why? >> Because now I got the chance to meet you.

>> That is a nice way to look at it. >> My name is Jake, by the way. >> Nice to meet you, Jake. I'm Lisa.

>> Lisa, that's a beautiful name. >> Thank you. >> Are you a friend of the bride or the

groom? I am the bride's cousin. >> Oh, really? Then you are part of the

family. >> Yes, you could say that. >> I am actually a friend of the groom.

>> That's nice. So, you must know him well. >> Yes, we study together in college. >> That explains why you came early.

Actually, I came early for the food. [laughter]

>> That's very honest. >> But now I feel lucky. >> Lucky?

>> Yes, because I met you. >> You are very funny. >> I'm serious.

>> Really? >> Yes. And I must say something. What is it?

>> Your dress looks amazing. >> Oh, thank you so much. >> It suits you perfectly.

>> You are very kind with compliments. >> I only see what I see. >> That sounds like flirting.

>> Maybe a little. You are very confident. >> Only when I meet interesting people.

>> So you think I am interesting? >> Definitely. >> We just met two minutes ago.

>> Sometimes two minutes are enough. >> That's a bold statement. >> I like bold statements.

Do you always talk like this? >> Only at weddings. >> Why weddings?

>> Because people are happy here. >> That is true. >> And happiness makes people more friendly

>> or more talkative. >> Guilty as charged. You are making this conversation very

entertaining. >> I'm glad you think so. >> So, have you tried the food yet?

>> Yes, and it's amazing. >> I was just going to the dessert counter. >> Perfect timing then.

>> Why? >> Because I was also going there. Are you inviting yourself to join me?

>> Maybe I am. >> That's brave. >> Life is short. We should take chances.

>> You sound like a philosopher. >> No, just a hungry guest. >> All right, then.

>> So, shall we go to the dessert counter together? Okay, but only for dessert.

>> That's already a great deal for me. >> Wow, this dessert counter looks amazing. >> Yes, there are so many options here.

>> What did you take? >> I took gulab jaman and rosmalai. >> Good choice. I love gulab jamun.

>> Really? Yes, it's my favorite dessert. >> Then you must try this one. It looks

very soft. >> Wow, you are right. It's delicious. >> I told you.

>> What other sweets do you like? >> I like chocolate desserts a lot. >> Same here. Chocolate cake is my

weakness. >> Mine, too. So, Lisa, what do you do for work?

>> I work in a marketing company. >> That sounds interesting. >> Yes, sometimes it's exciting.

>> What is your role there? >> I manage social media campaigns. >> Oh, that's creative work.

>> Yes, I enjoy it most of the time. >> That's great. What about you? What do you do?

>> I work as a software engineer. >> Really? >> Yes, I develop mobile applications.

>> That sounds very technical. >> Sometimes it is difficult, but I enjoy solving problems.

>> That's nice. >> Do you live in the city? Yes, I live here with my family.

>> That's wonderful. >> What about you? >> I live in another city.

>> Oh, really? >> Yes. I came here just for the wedding. >> That means you don't visit here often.

>> Not very often. So you must be enjoying this wedding a lot.

>> I am especially now. >> Why especially now? >> Because I met you.

>> You like saying that >> because it's true. >> Tell me about your family.

I have a small family. >> Who is in your family? >> My parents and my younger sister.

>> That's nice. >> My sister is studying in college. >> What does she study?

>> She studies design. >> That's creative. Yes, she loves art.

>> In my family, I have my parents and one brother. >> Older brother or younger?

>> Younger brother. >> Is he here at the wedding? >> Yes, he's somewhere dancing with his

friends. >> That sounds fun. Yes, he loves dancing.

>> Do you like dancing? >> A little, but I feel shy sometimes. >> You don't look shy.

>> That's because you don't know me well yet. >> Maybe I will know you better tonight.

[laughter] [gasps] >> You are very confident again.

I told you weddings make people brave. >> Maybe you are right. >> So tell me one thing.

>> What? >> What do you like to do in your free time?

>> I like watching movies and traveling. >> Traveling is my favorite, too. >> Really?

Yes, I love exploring new places. >> That sounds exciting. >> Maybe one day we can travel to the same

place. >> That sounds like a future plan. >> Maybe it is.

>> Lisa, there you are. I have been looking for you. Oh, Alex, you're here.

>> Yes, finally I found you. >> I was just talking and eating dessert. >> I can see that.

>> Alex, this is Jake. We just met here. >> Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too.

We were just talking about the food in the wedding. That's nice.

Alex, did you eat something? >> Yes, I already had dinner. >> Did you try the desserts? They are very

good. >> Not really. I'm a little tired now. >> Tired already?

>> Yes, it has been a long day. >> But the wedding is still going on. I know, but I think we should go home

>> already. >> Yes, it's getting late. >> Just a few more minutes, please.

>> Lisa, you said that at the last wedding, too. >> Maybe.

>> I really feel tired. >> Okay, but I want to enjoy a little more. How long is a little more?

>> Maybe 10 minutes. >> 10 minutes? >> Yes, only 10 minutes.

>> You promised last time also. >> This time I promise again. >> H I'm not sure.

>> Please, Alex. The music is nice and everyone is happy. That's true.

>> And I just started eating desserts. >> You really love sweets. >> Of course I do.

>> All right, I will wait 10 more minutes. >> Thank you. >> But after that, we are leaving.

>> Deal. >> You two are funny. >> He always wants to leave early.

And she always wants to stay longer. Sounds like a classic couple story. >> Exactly.

>> Anyway, it was nice meeting you, Jake. Nice meeting you, too. >> See, Alex, everyone here is so friendly.

>> Yes, but my bed is also very friendly. You really need sleep. >> Yes, I do.

>> Okay, I will finish this dessert quickly. >> I'm watching the time.

>> Don't worry, Mr. Time manager. >> I have to be strict with you. >> All right, boss.

>> Good. I will wait near the entrance. Okay, just five. I mean 10 minutes. >> See, you already changed the time.

[laughter] >> Okay. Okay. 10 minutes final. >> I hope so.
