DINESH (clipboard dekhte hue)
Theek hai, calm. Groom bas late hai. Shaadi mein late hona normal hai.
SAMEER
Normal? Mere hisaab se groom gayab hai.
TARIQ
Main bol raha hoon, woh bas... thoda lost hoga.
SAMEER
Groom hai ya tourist?
DINESH
Please panic mat karo. Main manage kar raha hoon.
SAMEER
Aap manage kar rahe ho? Bhai, aapki shirt khud panic kar rahi hai.
TARIQ
Bathroom?
SAMEER
Kyun? Uska ghost wahan rehta hai?
GROOM (O.S.): Abhi nahi!

Aap missing nahi the. Aap... writer’s block mein the.
DINESH
Main aaj promise karta hoon, main har mushkil mein tumhare saath rahunga... aur har khushi ko double karunga.
SAMEER
Aur agar main phir se panic ho gaya, toh tum mujhe bathroom se nikaal lena.
DINESH
Tum meri partner ho, meri best friend ho, aur aaj se meri zindagi ka sabse important ‘yes’ ho.
