Purva Bedi: Nina Shah

Quotes 

• Krishna : Hi, buy me a pizza?

  Nina : Excuse me?

  Krishna : Buy me a pizza.

  Nina : Buy you a pizza?

  Krishna : Yeah I'm really hungry and I'm totally tapped out of cash and I know this great pizza place around the corner. And I was wondering if you'd buy me a pizza?

  Nina : No are you crazy, I'm not gonna buy you a pizza. I don't know if you know how this works but you're the one buying me a pizza.

  Krishna : Okay.

  Nina : Okay what?

  Krishna : Okay I'll buy you a pizza, all you had to do was ask.

  Nina : Wait a minute, you just said that you were tapped out of cash.

  Krishna : I am, but it's not everyday that beautiful girl, like yourself, asks a guy like me out to pizza. Trust me, I'll find a away to scrap up the money.

  Nina : Cute. Very cute. I never heard a pickup line that devious before. I may have to try it myself sometime.

• Nina : It's an email from Jagjit. Oh listen to this: "Loyal friend seeks suitable alliance for big-mouthed but well-intentioned roommate. Nineteen years, 5'11". Currently pursuing a degree in engineering. US Citizen... Girl should be very open-minded and understanding"

  Priya : Oh that is so cute! Oh my god, you have to go!

  Nina : No way, it's gonna take more than a fungal ad to makeup for last night.

  [Nina gets another email and is reading it] 

  Nina : "Okay, how about a nice home-cooked dinner?"

  [looks around and see Jagjit in front of her] 

  Nina : Jagjit...

  Jagjit : Come by the apartment at 8 o'clock tonight. You will be amazed. AND NO INDIAN STANDARD TIME!

• Nina : Yeah to dance, I figured it would be nice to learn something about your own culture.

  Krishna : My culture? What do you want me to learn? That I come from a country where the concept of toilet paper is still a myth? That kids let their parents decide who their going to marry? What?

• Krishna : I don't know what happened back there. Maybe I had a little too much to drink.

  Nina : So that's supposed to make it all right? I'm sorry, I just can't accept that as an excuse. Maybe I'm just a little old fashioned and traditional or maybe I'm just a little too Indian for your taste!

  Krishna : Too Indian? Why does it always have to be about Indian culture? You know, Why? Why can't it just be about us?

  Nina : 'Cause I am Indian. And if you can't stand anything Indian, there is no us.

• Nina : I was just thinking of how mean I was to you. And I didn't try to see it from your side, I was being selfish and for that, I'm sorry.

  Krishna : No, Nina, I'm the one who should be sorry. I'm the one who was being selfish, insensitive, you were right. I was being an ass! I'm the one who should be saying I'm sorry!

  Nina : Okay.

  Krishna : Okay, what?

  Nina : Okay, I accept your apology. All you had to do was ask.

  Krishna : Wait a minute, I don't get it.

  Nina : It's not every day that a good-looking guy apologizes for his behavior. I mean a girl has got to take it when she can. I mean who knows when it'll happen again, right?

  Krishna : Cute, very cute. That's a clever line, where'd you pick it up?

  Nina : This A.B.C.D. tried to use it on me once, it was so pathetic.
