PONMAN

What are you doing, Parish Clerk?

Bruno had put up that poster.

Terror Bruno!

So what?

Is the church wall the place for this kind of nonsense?

Oh, okay! Consider it your fate then!

What the hell have they done!

Who's tearing down our party's posters?

-I did it! -Move!

Who are you to question me?

-Son! -Get lost!

- Let go of my dad! - You scoundrel!

Tear it now!

The party runs in my blood.

If you dare touch it...

Move away!

Let's go!

Oh!

-Is this the border of your property? -Yes.

Is that boat yours?

Yes, but I don't venture out to sea.

So, what does the bride's brother do?

I am a party worker.

-A party worker? -Yes.

That's interesting.

-Do you like freshwater fish, dear? -Yes.

-Agnus... -Yes.

What's cooking?

Oh, it's fish curry?

There's no salt at all.

Yes!

It's perfect now.

He has received a few other marriage proposals as well.

Among them, Shirley's family is willing to offer up to 23 sovereigns of gold.

We became interested in your proposal because you promised to give 25 sovereigns.

If there's any change in that, tell us now, okay?

In that case, we'll stop by Shirley's house on the way.

Oh, that's not necessary.

We never go back on our word.

Oh, okay.

We've got to marry off our younger daughter too.

Her marriage is fixed with a boy from our coast itself.

They seem to be in a hurry.

So, before it slips away, we need to get it done.

That's why.

Is there any issue?

No. Not at all!

Then, you decide on the date and inform the broker.

But the wedding needs to happen before Lent begins.

Oh, no!

-Before the Lent? -Why?

Is there any problem?

Well... No, there's no problem.

Hey, Lucy!

-Don't we have to go? -Oh!

Oh, no! He is calling!

Let me leave. He is very short tempered.

-Agnus... -Yes.

Before Lent begins, okay?

Yeah... Okay.

-I'm leaving. -Okay.

-Hey, Bruno! Stop there!

Stop there!

This is the last time I'm telling you.

This entire issue will be over with an apology from you.

If you say it here, this issue will stay within this Parish.

-What do you say? -Like hell I'll apologize, Father!

He dared to touch the party's poster.

He's lucky that's all he got!

Father, This is not an attack against me.

This attack is against our Parish.

I am not open to any compromise, Father!

I am filing a police case for sure!

Sue me then!

You tore down party posters, right?

Party workers will deal with the case.

Hey, you!

I will make sure you'll run around in circles!

-I'll show you! -You go inside!

Go inside! Sit there!

Hey, hey!

Don't be so arrogant, alright?

You should consider your family's situation.

Don't forget that your sister's wedding is coming up.

Don't rub the fisherfolk and the church the wrong way!

If they abandon you,

you know what will happen, right?

That will happen smoothly, Father.

We have facilitated many weddings

that the churches have disapproved.

Don't try to scare me.

Let's go!

We are not fully satisfied with the proposal, Lovely.

But when I thought about it,

-she's already 32 years old, right? -Of course.

This guy works in the backwaters.

-He is strong and well-built. -Is it?

No matter what, his fishing net should catch five or six carp daily, right?

-That, along with some rice will fill their stomachs.

That's the first thing we should consider, right?

That's true, Chechi.

I had told her earlier also

not to waste time waiting for an educated guy.

-Come, Chechi. Let's sit there.

Okay.

And, with God's grace,

we'll be able to organize the wedding well.

When her Papa had a fishing boat,

he used to contribute generously to all the weddings on our coast, right?

-Don't you know it as well? -Of course!

All that will come back to us.

And then, her brother's party workers...

They will also offer some help, right?

But when they told me to rush the wedding, I started feeling the financial squeeze.

She needs some gold to wear on the wedding eve, right?

We can give it back when we receive the donations on the wedding day.

Please give me your gold ornaments.

Oh, no! My dear Chechi,

are you referring to these, Chechi?

These are rolled gold ornaments, Chechi!

My husband keeps taking my gold saying that he needs money to repair his boat.

He's the one who got me the gold, right?

How can I refuse when he asks?

Moreover, there's a girl growing up in this house as well, right?

My head is spinning when I think about it!

Here too.

Steffi! Come, let's go!

Have food and go, Chechi!

No, thanks!

Didn't I tell you that Lovely Aunty won't give it?

When she eloped with her husband,

it was your dad who took my 3 sovereign gold chain and draped it around her neck.

And she's telling this colossal lie wearing that same chain!

Rolled gold! My foot!

Look at him lazing in the sun!

-Are you mad, you old hag? -Yes, I am mad.

If my child's wedding gets cancelled

because we can't give the gold we promised,

I'll jump into this sea with her and die!

Mind you!

And he's basking in the sun at noon!

Don't make a scene, you old hag!

It's her wedding, right? It will go smoothly.

How will you pull it off?

Just like how everyone else does it!

Something will turn up.

We have been asked to vacate this rented house next month.

Then, we will turn up...

on the streets!

You old hag!

Hey! What are you looking at?

So keen on snooping on your neighbours!

Go inside!

-You old hag! -Get lost!

She is Bruno's sister.

-You know that? -Yes, I know!

I know very well!

I didn't raise her expecting anyone's help!

I know how to conduct her wedding. Okay?

She's got a thousand efficient brothers in our party.

Yeah, right!

I'll show all of you!

You get lost!

- Isn't it time to leave, Comrade? - He said we'll leave by 11 AM.

He's discussing that issue with the church.

Let's leave when it's over.

-Is it about Bruno? -Yes. That same issue.

Why should we put up with his atrocities?

Hey, it's nice!

Yes, come on!

-Just a minute. I'll be right back.

Bruno did it for the party, right?

Then what's the issue now?
