Good breath work.

You're taking a really brave step today, all right?

You've got this. - Thanks, Maya.

How are you feeling?

Yeah, I don't know what's going on. Just...

Mm-hmm?

Just feels so weird coming back to this house.

You know? I just... - I know.

...feel like I haven't been here since--

What are you doing?

Sorry, can you hold on a second?

- Yeah, sure. - Are you on the phone?

Actually, can I call you back?

Sure. Yeah. Good luck. And remember,

you can leave a toxic environment

whenever you want. - Yep. Sweet.

Thanks, Maya. I'll talk to you later.

Okay, bye!

What?

Since when do you drive a Benz?

Since I bought one.

Okay... and why are you lurking?

Why are you on my ass?

And what the hell is this?

Yeah, that. That.

A phoenix rising.

A what?

A phoenix rising.

What? See how stupid that sounds?

When it comes outta your mouth? - No. No, I actually don't.

- Say it again? - A phoenix rising.

- Yeah, that sounds-- - Yeah, it sounds...

pretty fuckin' good. - Oh, wow!

You're... you're so cool now, huh?

Are you chopped?

How has Mom not skinned you alive yet?

My body, my choice.

- Okay. - What are you doing here?

Yo, why are you asking me like, a million questions, huh?

What the hell are you doing here?

Outside this early?

I'm... I'm jogging.

You're jogging. In the cold.

- Yeah. - Really?

Mm-hmm.

- In Crocs? - Yes.

Oh, okay. Aren't you supposed be on some like,

"live, laugh, love" trip in Budapest?

Mom keeping you up to date, eh?

You know Dadi's here, right?

Yeah, no shit. What do you think I'm doing here?

Okay, well it was nice seeing you.

Are you coming in, or?

Yeah man, just chill, all right? Just gimme a second.

Okay.

I'll see you inside, man.

Yeah.

Maanvi?

God damn it, she's a ninja. Dadi?

Were you talking to some boy in that car?

Yes. A very small boy.

Listen, don't talk to strange men.

So many crimes in this neighbourhood.

Do you have a tank top on?

Who are you putting on a show for?

I'm wearing it for you.

Ha, "for me."

Who's here now?

There he is! Finally he makes time to visit his Dadi!

Surprised you remembered me before I died.

You look even more like your father!

Even your gut's coming out!

Okay, okay.

How are you? How was your flight?

I'll tell you everything.

Come, to the kitchen, I'll make tea, then we'll talk.

You come too!

I brought you something special.

What kind of pakora is this?

No, no, it's cannoli. Like a fancy Italian dessert.

It's really tasty. Fancy and...

...expensive.

Too sweet.

You know my sugar is high.

Why are you laughing?

Go! Get up!

Ask your brother if he needs anything else.

It's Godly to do his seva.

Yes, a glass of water, my dear sister.

May you live a long life.

Jasmeet. It's time for you to find someone.

Get married and stay married.

Don't be like your sister.

Yep, that's me, big family fuck up.

Speak Punjabi! I don't understand English.

Oh, my god!

Hey, surprise!

I didn't know you were coming!

I know. I came to Dadi, I came to see you guys.

How are you? - Good, good.

How's everything going with the tiffins?

Looks good? Sounds good, yeah.

Didi?

Is that Jasmeet?

Yep. The king himself.

Auntie speaks very highly of him.

Does he really earn a dollar a view?

Oh, my God.

Actually, we need this space now for the tiffins.

Why don't you go sit comfortably in the living room?

Kick me out of the house why don't you?

Can you please bring the ladles from the shed?

Go bring me my photo album from my room!

Mom, I'll go get it for you.

Thank you.

Well, since you won't let me give you a Dish package,

I got you an IPTV for the basement.

You didn't have to do that.

You can't watch your Pakistani dramas.

I know how serious this is.

But you need to save your money.

I have a lot of work to do at home.

Okay, yeah, but you need to relax too,

so I'll go install it.

Listen, do one thing first.

Sit with Dadi for a bit first.

She will get some peace of mind.

Okay, what's going on? Is she that hard to be around?

The things the boys never have to deal with.

Jasmeet?

Come here, I want to show you something!

Hello? Hello?

Bani! Just calling to make sure it's real?

Of course, just two more months until I'm with you.

I keep practising my English.

Yeah, I'm looking for a place downtown, too. Very good.

Are you worried about money, maybe?

No, no, the job hunt is going well, um...

And Sunny Paaji always gives me shifts.

Waiting for my paycheck now.

But what about paying your dad's medical bills?

Don't worry. I'll figure it out. It's my duty.

Bani, one minute-- Okay, baby.

Paaji! You should move your truck before--

Shinda! How many times do I gotta tell you?

Stop parking in the fucking laneway!

- I'm sorry, Miss Chippy! - Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's easy.

Move the truck or I'll do it for you, okay?

Yeah. Yes, Memsaab, yes.

And come see me after!

- Am I in trouble? - Thank you!

Okay baby, I have to go now.

I will send you any listings that I like. Okay?

- Love you. - Okay, love you. Bye.

Damn.

Shit.

Who have you done make-up for?

You don't even have a husband!

Can't even fucking breathe in this house.

Oh, my God.

Do Mom and Dad sleep here now?

Yeah.

Dadi took their room.

Damn. It's such a trip.

Yeah. At least she doesn't snore as loud as Dad, though.

She's out by 8 PM for like, 12 hours. It's great.

Why? So you can sneak out?

You don't know what I do.

Okay, just 'cause you got some whack-ass

fire flamingo tattoo, doesn't mean--

Oh, my God, it's a phoenix rising, dumbass!

This family lets go of nothing. I swear to God.

Go hang with Dadi! - I will!

I just have to figure out this dongle thing with Neal.

You could help her, you know, or distract her.

From terrorizing me and Mom. I have other things to do today.

Okay, chill. She's not even that bad.

Have you seen how hard she is on me and Mom?

Even Dad's going hard doing double shifts just to avoid her.

God, you guys are so similar.

We are nothing alike.

Just a couple of avoidant kings.

Whatever, man.

Onions are on the counter.

What else, Grandma?

All done your work?

Almost, came to spend time with you.

Ah, good boy.

Maanvi, cut the onions.

No, Dadi, I have things to do.

You know how bad it is

that your mother never taught her to cook?

Leave your phone! Your brother is here.

You need to learn his favourite dishes.

Get up!

Why do you want to kill me?

Are you listening?

I do have to leave soon too. I won't have time to eat.

Oh, so you want to kill me too?

These Canadian children...

Maanvi, go start cutting the onions.

Get up.

Jasmeet, look at this.

Which girl do you want to marry? Look!

Uh... Dadi, what is this?

Wives! Your pick!

This one's pretty.

Some of these look way too young.

Young? I was younger than this when I got married.

Plus, you're better off marrying a younger girl!

They learn the housework quickly.

What are you thinking?

Nothing. It's fine.

Find one you like?

- Pooji! - Hey!

Smells so good!

- What are you doing here? - I'm the dongle guy.

And I brought some invoices from last year that I forgot.

So, everything's running smoothly, huh?

Most days.

I am hoping to renovate the shed into proper cooking space.

I may have to ask for a loan.

- Oh, I'm sure you'll get it. - Thank you.

Hello, Janat. How are you?

Hello.

Workplace...

...professional.

Hey! Hi.

Don't cry. I'm here now.

Get off.

So, how are you? How was the trip?

Where'd you go?

- Um, I went to Indonesia. - Uh-huh.

Thailand, Vietnam, Bhutan.

- Bhutan? I've been to Bhutan. - Uh-huh. Really?

- In a dream. - Oh.

One time.

Yeah, it was beautiful. - It is.

There was this, like, café by the railroad.

- Oh. - Is it still there?

No. It's not real.

Yo. What it do?

- Hey. - Little dongle in the cut?

- A little dingle in my butt. - Let's go.

- Let's see it. - Here you go.

- Hey. - That's the wrong port.

I don't know, I just got a dongle.

What are you talking about?

You what?

Yeah, yeah, let me take a look. - This is a dongle,

I don't know what to tell you.

Hi, Bibi!

Oh, the white woman's son?

- Mm-hmm. - I thought some thief

snuck in the house.

I brought a dongle.

Dongle, huh?

Mm-hmm. Um. You come Canada.

Long long happy happy

plane journey. - Huh. Uh-huh. Huh.

I've been practising.

Uh-huh. Gotcha, gotcha.

You want to get married?

You can look at girls too.

Oh, are these our cousins in India?

- Yeah. - Wow, so many young cousins.

Do you want to get married?

Yeah, yeah, no, they're...

they're child brides, dude.

She's tryn'a get us married, so.

- Oh... - Yeah.

Long, long, happy, happy...

Jail time. Yes.

- ...jail time. - Yeah.

Hey, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

I have to file my papers.

What? Here?

Oh, my God, this has been such a hassle.

Oh, shit!

All my papers were moved when Dadi took our room.

Huh. - Oh, God.

Was there a Dish guy here?

Why am I doing the IPTV if you had a satellite guy come?

You think your dad will pay for satellite?

- Where'd you find it? - The bathroom.

Give it. I'll see if I can find him on social.

Okay.

You know, I can like, pay for a Dish, right?

You guys don't have to use this bootleg IPTV.

Maanvi, come here!

Someone has to peel the garlic!

Thank you, Miss Chippy.

Thank you. - I'm proud of you.

Yeah.

- Good luck. - Yeah. Thank you.

Paaji, I quit.

Wait, what?

It's time.

You gave me work and I'm thankful.

But now I have to go.

The fuck? - Yep.

Paaji--

What shit are you running here?

A psychiatric hospital?

That's the second driver who quit!

What are you saying to them?

Shinda has been distracted, okay?

Between this and night school, he's got a lot on his plate.

School for what? Brush up on his fucking ABC's?

His engineering degree.

He needs to focus on that to finish.

He was one of my go-to guys.

Well, then "go-to" someone else!

Just... you know, stop therapizing my guys!

These are working-class Punjabi immigrants.

You can't have 'em talk about their feelings.

It messes my whole system up!

Yeah, I can! They need therapy!

You need therapy! We all need therapy!

Fuck this!

You're proving my point!

- Sunny Paaji, could I get-- - Not now!

Dadi, can you take over?

I have to go do something for ten minutes.

First finish your work!

Is Neal upstairs?

Kids these days can't focus on anything.

Yo, have you seen Neal?

Maanvi, have you seen Neal?

I don't know!

Hi. Yeah, I can't get away right now.

Can you meet me at the side of the house?

No, just don't go past the front.

Hop the neighbour's fence and--

What? No, it's easy. I do it all the time.

Is it done? Don't burn the food!

Shit.

Jasmeet?

This wire's not even right, man!

but you ruined it

Okay, I gotta bounce--

What's the rush? Jasmeet.

Sit down! Eat slowly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Have more, my dear, lovely, beautiful brother.

Have more. Eat.

Whoa!

Maanvi!

Look at this, a meal for a king!

Two kings. And a queen. And an elder, the village elder.

Bro, where you been?

Where have you been?

Eating, like everybody else.

Nice. Me too.

- You just disappeared-- - I'm eating.

- Now you are. - Yes!

Delicious.

Okay, you know what? I-I really have to go.

You can't get outta here fast enough, eh?

I wonder why.

You just breeze in, wow Mom with your dongle,

pick out some wives with Dadi.

Always the spoiled golden child.

Yeah, I'm the one that's running around the world

breaking hearts and getting tattoos. Yeah, that's me.

Speak Punjabi!

I don't understand when you guys speak fast English!

See, I actually prefer English, so...

so I can get a sense of the trauma between them.

You want to leave

because you can't be in the same room as Dad.

Ah ha! Now I've found out...

...there was something going on between the two of you.

What happened between you two? I had a feeling.

Who's Chuck C.?

Why are you such a snake?

Why are you such a shit brother?

You didn't even come to my wedding.

Wedding. You call that a wedding?

You signed a paper outside of a courtroom.

I'm going through a divorce.

No, you're going through a breakup.

Everybody's got shit,

but your solution is to abandon people.

No, my solution is to get out of toxic environments

that don't serve me anymore.

It's called self-love, okay?

You have no idea what it's like.

What what's like?

To be a brown girl in this family.

Oh, I don't know how to be a brown girl in a brown family.

No, you don't.

When I have all the freedoms.

I can get a divorce-- - All the freedoms?

Who moved out first? - I can go out whenever--

- Who left first? - I travel the world!

After I fought for it!

You're literally the most free brown girl.

You have no excuse.

You think it just happened? I'm not like you!

What are you talking about? You think Dad gives a shit

when you do anything? No. - You wanna talk about Dad now?

Oh, he doesn't give a shit when I do anything?

No! Of course not! He loves you.

You're his lovely daughter. Yeah, right.

You wouldn't get that

because you're the fucking boy in the house!

I shouldn't even be back in this house.

And you want me to fix everything?

Right? No, because usually I am.

Shut up!

Why won't you speak Punjabi?

I want to understand what you're yapping about!

Okay, take a deep breath.

This is the beginning of the healing process.

Just let it out

and breathe the positive in, clear the negative away.

Oh, fuck. Oh, shit.

Thief! Thief! Thief!

Oh, my God! Dadi, stop!

He was trying to steal from us!

Yo, get this lady off of me right now.

What's she trying to do, man?

Dadi! He's not a thief!

You're being so racist!

Ki racist?! I know how these guys are!

I watch the news! Oh, my God.

Hurry! Call the police!

Dadi, let go of his ear. No, no.

Yo, I expect this from like, a white neighbourhood

or some shit. Like, not here. This is crazy work.

Is that Chuck C.? Get out!

Fuck outside my home!

Go away. - I'm sorry. She's insane, so...

I will get the fuck out your home.

Look, listen, I just really came here for my--

What's happening?

Who are you?

Uh...

Uh...

he's my friend. Junior.

And, uh...

he left his, um, badge. - Yeah.

- Left his badge. - Yeah.

- Which you have. - Mm-hmm.

- So, give it back to him. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, thank you, Maanvi, my dear sister.

Junior, do you want something to eat?

Uh, it, it smells really good but I'm gonna pass.

Uh...

I'm gonna leave you guys, but whatever the fuck that was,

get her a black friend, okay? Maybe like, two?

Go! Get lost, you fuck!

- Peace, Junior. - Nice meeting you!

Uh... yeah, sure.

Bye, Junior.

Are you okay?

Take me upstairs. Hai Rabba.

I know. I know.

Seriously?

Is that the guy you were seeing out this morning?

Do you want Mom and Dad to kill you?

What are you doing? - Dude, I know!

What if someone woke up and walked in on you guys?

Are you insane?

Or am I just living my life for myself for once?

Okay, yeah, it's a risk. Maybe this Maanvi likes risk.

Okay, go to his place. Go to a hotel.

Get your own place. There's so many other options.

Every time I leave the house, it's an interrogation.

I am sick of being a good girl.

I just want to live my life.

You should probably go.

Dad's gonna be home soon.

Look, man, I...

...I feel bad I didn't come to your wedding.

I'm really sorry.

What's the number for the police?

Oh, my God.

I won't rest until I find out

what's going on!

She is a terrorist. You're right.

I told you.

- Oh god! She's pissing me off. - That felt really good.
