Sholay
Scene #23 - Tum Gabbar ko nahin maroge
Back from flash-back. Wind blows the shawl off Thakur's sholders.
Thakur Baldev Singh:
Huuunnnhhhhh!!!!
The amputated Thakur stands helpless, sleeves of the kurta flowing with the air.
Villagers:
Aaaahhhhhh!
Sounds of sighs admist dead silence. Radha picks up the shawl and puts it on Thakur's shoulders. Thakur looks at the gun, still lying near his feet and moves away, followed by Radha.
Police inspector:
Uske baad kuch dekha tumne?Villager:
Nahin sahab. Goli chalte hi humne sab khidki kiwad band kar liye.Police inspector:
Hmmm. Theek hai. Yahan par angootha laga do.Villager:
Jee saab.Police inspector:
Idhar. Aayiye Thakur sahab. Thakur sahab, yahan jo hua woh mujhe in logon se pata chal gaya. Aapse ek aur baat karni thi.
Thakur Baldev Singh:
Police ko Gabbar chahiye, zinda ya murda...woh aapko ek na ek din mil jayega, inspector sahab.Police inspector:
Kuch bata sakte hain aap Gabbar Singh ke baare mein?
Thakur Baldev Singh:
Jee nahin.Police inspector:
Theek hai. Mujhe bas inta hi poochna tha. Shukriya Thakur Sahab.
Inspector extends his right hand towards Thakur, intending a hand shake. Then realizes his mistake.
Thakur Baldev Singh:
Namaste.
Thakur enters his room. He notices some cash placed on the center table. Jai and Veeru are waiting for him in the room.
Veeru:
Thakur sahab! Yeh rupaye hamein nahin chahiye. Aap inhe wapas le lijiye. Lekin yeh mat sochiye ki hum aapka kaam nahin karenge.
Thakur Baldev Singh:
Lekin tum logon ne kaha tha ki tum sirf paison ke liye kaam karte ho.
Veeru:
Lekin...
Jaidev:
Paise to hamein phir bhi mil jayenge. Gabbar Singh ko maarkar...
Thakur Baldev Singh:
Tum Gabbar ko nahin maroge. Tum yahan Gabbar ko pakadke mere hawale karne aaye ho...zinda! Waada karo! Tum usse mujh tak zinda pahunchaoge.
Jaidev:
Hum wada karte hain Thakur saab. Lekin yeh...rupaye aap wapas le lijiye.
Ramlal:
Thakur! Girija luhar Pipri gaaon se kuch khabar lekar aaya hai.
Thakur Baldev Singh:
Shayad Gabbar se tumhari agli mulakat bahut jald hogi. Aao.
They move out of the room.
Girija:
Jai Ram ji ki Thakur.
Thakur Baldev Singh:
Jai Ram ji ki. Kaho Girija, kya khabar laaye ho?Girija:
Thakur, Pipri gaaon se do kos par banjare aake ruke hain. Heera aur uske saathi bhi hain.
