Vi: Vanga athai!

Vim: Enga ponna nee than paathukkarennu Anna sonnaru! Romba nandrimma!

Vi: Sudara pathukkarathu oru periya vishayama athai?

Vim: Naan sonnathu Abiya! Avalai paatthukkarathu onnum sadharana velai illaiye! Sivagami Anniyaiyum Padma Anniyaiyum evvalo paduthirukkannu enkita kelu!

V: Abi evlo paduthavannu inga irukkara ellarukkum theriyum; Sudaraiyum sethu than solren. Vanga! (mv: ivunga enna vanthathum Abiya vaararanga! Sari! Namakku nalla pozhuthu pogum!)

Everyone turns to see Vetri and Sudar coming out of the room. Sudar runs to SN and hugs him.

SN: Kutti pappa! Udambu paravillaiyada kannu? Vimala! Ithu than Sudar kutti! Sudar! Ithu en thangai Vimala! Vetri! Vimala retire agitta! Athan konja naal namma kooda irukkalamnu vanthirukka!

Athai gives Vetri a deliberate look from head to toe from above her glasses. Vetri squirms a little and Abi smirks.

Vim: Nalla irukkeengala? Unga Appa pathi kelvipatten! Romba varuthama irukku! Avaru ellarum mathikkara vathiyarunnu theriyum. Intha kutti ponnu than Sudara? Sudar! En peru Vimala. Naan Abiyoda Athai!

S: En peru A. Sudarvizhi (Athai gives a look at Vetri, and he looks down!) ondram vaguppu a pirivula padikkaren. Naan ungalai eppadi koopidanum?

Vim: Romba samathu kutti! Chootigaiya pesara! Abi valakkara ponnu! Athan Abi mathiriye pesara nee!  Sudar! Nee ennai Vimala paattinnu koopidu, sariya? Enakku unnai romba pidichirukku! Unkooda konja naal irukkalamnu vanthirukken! Irukkalama? Naanum oru aasiriyai than! Ana naan unkooda vilayada vanthirukken. Unakku ethavathu paadam venumna sollitharen. Enkitta padikkariya?

S: Enakkum ungalai romba pidichirukku Vimala paatti!  En kooda romba naal irukkeengala? Abi! Vimala paatti namma koodave irukkattume! Paatti! Enakku Abi, Vijimma, ippo Simba ellarum solli tharanga! Unga kittayum kathukkaren. Abi! Vijimma! Sappidalama? Pasikkuthu! Paatti Thatha! Neengalum vanga! Sappidalam.

She runs ahead to the table and others follow her. Vimala Athai retains Vetri back.

Vim: Maappillai! Enakku enna nadanthathunnu almost theriyum. Abi, Sankaranna, Sivagami Anni ellarum sollirukkanga! Padma Anni kooda irukkaravaraikkum niraiya Abiya ninaichu azhuthirukkanga! Annan, Periyanni ellarum unga pakkam irukkanga.  Ana naan Abi pakkam than eppavum. Adhai nyabagam vechukkunga.

V: Periamma! Nallatha pochu! Naanum eppavum Abi pakkam than.

Vim: Intha vai samarthiyam ellam enkitta sellathu. Naan oru headmistress. Ungalai mathiri ethanai pasangalai pathiruppen. Inga vanthappa Annan neenga ippo inga irukkarathai sonnaru. Naan athan kooda irunthu ungalai  naalu kelvi nalla kettutu ponumnu than vanthirukken. Sari! kai kazhuvittu seekiram vanga! Annanukku diabetes irukku! Pasi thanga mattaru!

She walks off. Vetri looks a bit zapped.

V(mv): iyo! Ivungaloda senthu Abiya ottalamnu patha, nammala vechu seyya porangala? Intha periamma kannaadiya keezha thalli pathale utharum! Kelvi vera keppangalaa! Dei Vetri! Nee mattinada! Sari samalippom! Ellam Avalukkaga!

Sudar sits on the table and Vetri is about to feed her. Viji serves others.

Vim: Sudar pappa periya ponnache! Innuma ippadi table mela ukkanthu sappidara?

S: Ana paatti! Enakku chairla ukkantha table etta mattenguthu! Athan! Athu mattum illai! Silathellam enakku cut panni kodukkanume!

Vim: Athu pakkathula ukkanthu kooda cut panni tharalam. Neeyaa sappitta Ellarum onna sappidalame! Sariya? Un Simbatta solli chairukku ethavathu vazhi panna sollen! Enna Vetri? Seyya maatteengala enna? Neenga periya engineernnu Anna sonnaru!
