Quotes 

• Sunaina : Do you love me, Sonny?

  Sonny : My feelings cannot be reduced to a single word.

  Sunaina : It is a nice word. People like hearing it.

• Sonny : Let's meet somewhere else. I will rent a hotel room!

  Sunaina : Sonny, you own a hotel - it has many rooms.

  Sonny : Some of which are now occupied with actual real guests!

  Sunaina : Paying guests?

  Sonny : Why must you nit-pick? It is not an attractive quality.

• Sonny : [Running up the stairs of Sunaina's workplace shouting -]  Sunaina! Sunaina! Sunaina! Sunaina!

  Sunaina's Brother : Hey, what's going on?

  Sonny : [Bent over panting and out of breath from running up the stairs. Holds up one finger to motion to please wait] 

  Sunaina's Brother : Sonny?

  Sonny : [Panting]  I need to see Sunaina.

  Sunaina's Brother : Her shift's not over. And when it is, she doesn't want to see you.

  Sonny : Jay. You - You are the son my mother wished I was. An intelligent man with a strong head for business. You see things as they are and not as you wish them to be. So, fuck off out of my way!

  [Jay crosses his arms] 

  Sonny : Or, you can give her a message. Tell her from me what I should have told her the day we met. What I will announce to anyone who asks and many who do not.

  Sunaina : [Interjects from around the corner]  Including your mother?

  Sunaina's Brother : [Asks Sonny incorrectly]  Including my mother?

  Sunaina : [Correcting Jay]  His mother.

  Sunaina's Brother : Your mother.

  Sonny : I will tell every mother in the land.

  Sunaina : [Asking Sonny]  What will you tell them?

  Sunaina's Brother : [Also asking Sonny]  What will you tell them?

  Sonny : The only thing that matters in this world. That I love you and always will. And by "you" I mean Sunaina, Jay, not you. Although if you are to be my brother-in-law, I hope we can become better friends.

  Sunaina : [Speaking to Jay]  Why is he only saying this now?

  Sunaina's Brother : [Speaking to Sunaina]  You ask him.

  Sunaina : [Comes to the stairs bannister and looks Sonny in the eye]  Why are you only saying this now?

  Sonny : Because, Sunaina... love of my life, no more will I believe that I'm not worthy. For only by loving you as you deserve will I become so.

• Sunaina : Is your husband watching with you, Evelyn?

  Evelyn : No. No, he died.

  Sunaina : Um, perhaps you...

  Evelyn : You know, I've actually had a version of this call. A little while ago, I talked to someone who was so constricted by the scripts, well, sales agenda, that she spoke without a trace of humanity. As if she hadn't realized that... I was going completely to pieces at the end of the phone.
