The ONE meets Smith

It's been 2 weeks since Raju last said some naughty things about Smith's mother. While Morpheus looks for the NEXT ONE, Raju's life is about to change forever.

Setting - A sugarcane juice shop near a railway station. Raju now works here. His shiny new watch tells about how he has moved up in life, since his Udipi days. He wears a light off-cream coloured shirt stained with sugarcane juice stains. His shorts hide a pair of buns that are shapely. The hair on his legs are slightly golden in colour - which is strange, because Raju is a genetically perfect Indian.

While no one looks, a old man selling potatoes outside seems to have a fit. He goes silvery and post about 5000 dollars of special effects, Smith steps into the Mumbai sun and smiles. He turns to approach the shop, spots Raju and confidently walks towards him ...

Smith - "Raju - stop smiling at your watch. Do you know who I am?"

Raju - "Half? Full?"

Smith - "Half? Full?

Raju - "Bhai sahab - half glass ya full glass?"

Smith - Full Raju. One Full.

Raju steps towards the pile of sugar-cane and pulls one out for the crusher. The Agent, in an anticipatory action, grabs his own sugar-cane and crouches in front of Raju. Everyone else continues to eat while our 2 central characters move into Bullet Time.

Smith smashes the sugarcane into where Raju's head should have been, but in what seems likes a freak-fast move, Raju pulls away and brings his hand down to block. The sugarcane strikes the watch and smashes it into pieces.

Exit bullet time.

Raju - Arre madarchod. Mera ghadiyaal? (cries a bit)... aaj hee khareeda tha Mulund station ke saamne se.... teen sau rupay mein .... teri gaand maaroonga lavde ...

Agent - The One cries over a watch? Hehehe ... the information I received must be erroneous. This is definitely not the One.

Exit Smith

Raju - Arre bhadvyaa .... teri maa ko maine choda tha re kal - Vikhroli station ke platform pe. (cries a bit more) (fade)

(Wait for Part 3. I have no clue what's coming up ....)
