Malgudi Days - मालगुडी डेज - Episode 7 - Swami And Friends(Part 7)

Swami!

I am sorry captain, I am late.

What's going on, Swami? It's the limit!

You are not able to get the practice.

How long will this go on?

What can I do, captain?

This damn Board school is only like that.

Who had told you to take admission in Board school?

Look Swami, great players like Bradman and Tait...

...have to practice daily for 5-6 hours.

Do you think that you are greater then them?

Captain, listen to me. My drill class gets over at five o'clock.

What can I do?

We'll have to find some way.

Yes! Shall we tell your principal to give you...

...leave from your drill class till your match gets over?

You want me to talk to that devil?

It's not that easy to talk to him, captain.

He will keep me in second form for another 100 years.

Ok dear, so you are so scared of your principal.

If I speak to him then?

No captain, I beg of you, he will kill me after you leave.

Swami, why do you get so scared?

If he beats you then he won't be spared.

My poor donkey has no work since many days.

So it's decided, Swami. - But...

Don't argue.

I will meet your principal tomorrow.

But, Rajam! No ifs and buts!

Meet me outside your school tomorrow...

...at sharp 9 o'clock.

Dad, I have a headache.

Headache! Come here.

Well, you don't have fever.

Go and splash some cold water on your face.

Cold water! - Yes.

What if I get pneumonia?

I have fever too.

Go to school and everything will be fine.

But, dad... - Swami! Go.

Grandma! Grandma, even if I die, dad will send...

...my dead body to the school.

No! No! Don't say such inauspicious things, dear.

Then what? My body is hot. My head is aching.

Then too he is saying, run to school.

Who is saying?

Laxmi! Laxmi, this poor fellow has high fever.

Why do you want to send him to school?

Really!? You have fever?

Yes, you have fever.

Mom, give me milk, I am getting late for school.

No, you will not go to school in this state.

But dad will scold me.

First you go and lie down; I'll go and speak to him.

Listen! Listen, Swami is having fever...

...and you are sending him to school.

Fever! Did you check his temperature?

What do you mean?

I mean we can at least come to know that...

...whether we should call the doctor or not.

This is not indicating that he has fever.

Saw!

There is something wrong with the thermometer. - Oh!

I know he has fever.

What could be a better thermometer than my hand?

Its not less then 102, he will not go to school today.

I'll go and get warm clothes for him.

Congratulations! Son, you are very lucky.

You have made an excuse to take leave from school...

...and so many people have come to support you.

Well done!

Mom, now I am fine.

I think that I should go to school.

You are looking fine but you are still not fit to go to school.

Come on, go to sleep.

No mom, I have lots to study.

I hope I don't miss my arithmetic class...

...I'll take my books and go to school.

Rajam! He is still over here!

How are you, Rajam?

You are a very good friend.

Where were you since morning?

Did you meet the principal?

Still not. You didn't come so even I didn't go to speak to him.

After all it's your work.

What is Mani doing over here?

Mani, you didn't go to school today? - No.

Then why have brought this mace along with you?

Just like that. If it's required then?

Yesterday I told you not to come here...

...and do your work.

Did you say like that? I don't remember.

I was doing my work.

I haven't come here with both of you.

This is a common road of Malgudi.

Swami, you don't worry, if you allow then...

...shall I talk to the principal?

No! No! No!

If you step into his room then he will call the police.

Mani, you wait here. Come, Swami.

Oh my God! What happened?

The principal is sleeping.

We'll wake him up. - No! No! No, Rajam.

You don't know his nature.

He starts beating the children... ...the moment he wakes up.

Really! Let's see.

Rajam! Rajam! Rajam! Rajam!

I beg of you, we'll meet him tomorrow.

Okay, but don't come late tomorrow.

Never! Promise!

Why, do you seem to be very happy?

The principal is still sleeping.

We'll wake him up today.

No! No! No! Rajam! He is... - Shut up! Just shut up! Come.

No!

Wait.

Greeting, sir. Greeting, sir.

Don't you both have any studies?

Sir, I am not from your school.

Then from where? Have you come from the heaven?

I am the captain of M.C.C.

I have some important work with you.

Really! What work do you have?

He is my friend W. H. Swaminathan.

He is studying in your school.

Second form section C.

Ok, glad to meet you.

I am the captain of M.C.C.

And I am glad to meet you also captain.

He is playing in my team. He is a good bowler.

Really! Are you a fast bowler or a spinner?

Sir, shall I come to my point?

Yes. Definitely come to your point.

Sir, will you be able to allow him go home till 4:30?

Well, sir, will you let him go?

Who is the principal of this school?

You or I?

Sir, you are the principal...

...but in our Albert Mission School, they don't...

...make us wait not even one minute more then 4:30

We even get leave from the drill class.

Captain, I don't want to listen to any of your praises...

...about your crazy mission school.

For God sake, leave from here, and...

Now who is he?

What do you want? - Nothing.

What is in your hand?

This is my mace.

He breaks people head with this.

I am not able to understand that...

...how can any Tom, Dick and Harry enter my room?

I am the son of a police superintendent.

Then go and ask your father that...

...what was he doing on the day when...

...there were fights going on in our school?

Go! Go and ask him.

Come, Mani.

Come on, Swami.

Its useless talking to him. He seems to be mad.

What?!

Swami, only one week is left for the match.

Please try to come soon.

I know, Rajam.

Now you only tell me what shall I do?

Tell your principal.

No! No! No! No! Forget him.

He has still not forgotten your last meeting.

I don't want to listen to anything.

If any bats man plays more then five minutes...

...on the day of the match, I will never see your face then.

Mani, give me the bat.

Hey Rudraswami, stand behind.

Do the fielding properly.

Delirium.

What do you want to say?

I cannot say it properly. But I have this.

Your stomach aches in this illness, isn't it?

Open your mouth.

You are fit and fine, Swami.

In my opinion you should do the drill exercise.

Your delirium will also disappear.

But I need the certificate to practice in the evening.

There is no other option.

I agree but I can also be arrested for giving fake certificate.

Who will come to know about it, doctor?

Do you want that our M.C. C should lose this match?

Not at all.

Look Swami, I cannot give you a false certificate...

...but yes, I can request your principal to leave you soon.

Really? - Really. You don't worry; I'll speak to him tomorrow itself.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yeah! Yes! Yes!

Hey! Mani, I have come.

Hey Swami has come!

Yeah! Hey! Swami!

God is great!

Hey Swami, how did you come so early today?

What about your school?

Intelligence! I have used my brain.

My doctor has told the principal that...

...if I stay back in the school after 4:30...

...then I will definitely die.

So what do you say?

Swami, there is no one more intelligent then you in Malgudi.

Yes Swami, you have done a great job.

Come on, let's start the practice.

I am worried about the match.

I will die if we lose.

You and your tension about losing!

That army of apes will never be able to defeat us.

This is Chandragupt Maurya.

He appointed Chanakya as his prime minister.

General and priest and the council of prince's...

Come in sir, come.

You, get up! Come here.

Shameless! Show your face to the whole class.

This boy doesn't have time for drill and scouting activities.

And that is why he has not attended the class from last Monday.

Do you want to say anything?

That doctor! Didn't that doctor speak to you?

Which doctor, what's the matter?

He had told me that he will speak to you.

Don't talk in riddles.

Or else I will strip you naked and beat you with this stick.

But Doctor Keshavan said that...

What did he say?

He said that he will speak to you about me.

And get me exemption from my drill class.

He also said that I'll die if I do the drill activity.

Really! Now what is your ailment this time?

He feels that I have that same problem of delirium.

Continue, I would like to see that...

...you can speak how much of truth from your mouth.

But sir, I thought that he must have spoken to you.

He had told me.

Hey! What I have to do with the students of my school...

...nobody can come and give me orders, okay!

Good that your Mr. General didn't come here...

...if he would have come here then...

...I would have told the peon to smash his head.

Bring your hand forward.

I will beat you six times on each hand for...

...not being present for the last six days.

You will beat me six times on each palm!

And if you miss even a single class henceforth...

...then I will strip you naked in front of everybody...

...in the school and tell the peon to beat you.

You are trying to threaten me by using D.S. P's name.

Neither am I scared of his son...

...nor am I sacred of his grandson and forefathers do you understand?

If you wish then you can go and complain...

...to the British government also.

I am not scared of anyone. Bring your hand forward!

Sir!

Shameless fellow!

Hey! Do you want an almond sweet?

Yes.

You will have to do my work, then. Okay.

Go in the second form A section and...

...go and call Hemrajam.

Tell him that someone has come from his house.

Go and call him and then you will get your sweet.

Okay. Where is second form A section?

Next to first form.

I have never gone there.

You will have to go now.

If anyone beats me over there then?

If you want that sweet then tell me quickly...

...whether you will go or not?

Tell me fast.

Ok, I will go. You wait here only.

Hey, what are you doing over here?

Jump and come this side, I want to show you something.

Now! I have skipped my class to meet you.

So what, I want to tell you something very urgent.

Ok, wait. Hey, where is my sweet?

Oh, I forgot about you. Here take this money.

But, you had told me that you will give me sweets.

Go and buy it from a shop.

Rajam! Rajam! Now I have no school and class...

...I have been dismissed.

I had a fight with my principal. - Again!?

Yes, he started beating me.

I snatched the stick from his hand and I threw it away.

Now I will never be able to go there.

What kind of a boy are you?

Wherever you go, you create trouble.

Every time! Every time!

It's not my fault.

That Dr. Keshavan is a traitor.

He only cheated me.

He didn't speak to the principal at all.

Swami, you are not intelligent.

You are a fool.

He said that he will go and speak...

..and you trust him.

Oh! Swami, now what will you do without going to the school?

Nothing, I will work in some workshop.

Now no school is going to give me admission.

But what will your dad say when he comes to know?

He will leave me alone.

Rajam, is my presence so important in the team?

There is no question of no.

We want be able to do anything without you.

Who will do the bowling?

Look Swami, only two days are left for the match.

We have to defeat those Y.M. U people.

Okay.

Tomorrow is Saturday, we'll start...

...practicing from morning itself.

And listen; come early in the evening for the practice.

As it is you don't have anything to do.

I have my moral science class.

I have to go now. - Okay.

Come early in the evening. - Okay.

My class was so nice.

He always keeps beating me.

If I won't run away from the school then what else will I do?

He, hit me so badly.

I don't want to study.

I don't want to go to that dirty school.

Where have I come?

Mom!
