This is India ,man.This is India. This is the land of the heart.This is where the heart is king man.
The f_ing heart. That's why you're free. That's why the cop gave you back your phony passport.
That's why you can walk around ,and not get picked up , even though they know who you are.
They could have f_ed you,Lin. ..... But they didn't do it ,and they wont do it, because you got them in their heart,man,in their Indian f_g heart . Well, he f_ed up in Australia ,but he's done some good
sh*t here.If he pays up , we'll let the f_er go. Because they are Indians man. That's how we keep this crazy place together- with the heart . Two hundred f_ing languages ,and a billion people. India is the heart. Its the heart that keeps us together .There's no place with people like my people ,Lin. no heart like the Indian heart"
