• Praful T. Parekh : Himanshu, don't worry. When Babuji was looking for a suitable match for me, I got rejected by 250 girls.

  Hansa P. Parekh : [Continuing Rajeev Mehta's story]  Yes Himanshu. And 249 of them beat Praful head to toe, only the last one was confined to a mental asylum don't know why.

• Tulsidas 'Babuji' Parekh : [Scolding Rajeev Mehta in the hospital]  Praful you're a donkey.

  Praful T. Parekh : Babuji, would you mind telling me something I am unaware of.

  Tulsidas 'Babuji' Parekh : [Angrily]  What had I asked you for ?

  Praful T. Parekh : That you might need to communicate with the hospital staff and therefore I should get an instrument installed for it.

  Tulsidas 'Babuji' Parekh : So ?

  Praful T. Parekh : So what Babuji. Here I got you with this

  [brings a buffalo which in Hindi spells Bail] 

  Praful T. Parekh : .

  Tulsidas 'Babuji' Parekh : [Furious]  Praful, you donkey, I had asked for a bell to be installed so that I ring it and somebody would attend to me.

  Praful T. Parekh : Let it be Babuji. You never clearly mentioned a "bell". And even with this buffalo you can get your work done.

  Tulsidas 'Babuji' Parekh : How ?

  Praful T. Parekh : [Giving comical explanation]  Just spank this buffalo, it'll immediately produce it's roar and someone would come to attend you for sure. You create all the misunderstanding and yet you accuse me calling me a donkey.

• Himanshu C. Seth : What's your good name ?

  Melissa Fernandez : [Smiling]  Maggie.

  Himanshu C. Seth : [Stupidly delighted]  Maggie ! Then you must be ready within 2 minutes everytime right ?

  Fernandes : [Furious at Jamnadas Majethia's remark]  Margaret ! But we fondly address her as Maggie.

  Praful T. Parekh : [Replying to Amit Singh Thakur]  Strange. Nobody addresses me FONDLY. Everybody has something abusive before calling me.

  Fernandes : And why'd I abuse her verbally. She's my daughter afterall.

  Praful T. Parekh : Really, then you must be knowing her quite well.

  Fernandes : Sir, obviously I'd know her very well.

  Praful T. Parekh : Not necessary. Not everybody knows everything about me. Particularly my neighbours. It's a different thing, they're aware when I leave my house so they hide in theirs.

• Himanshu C. Seth : I don't know why, but everytime I get bad dreams forcing me to wake up at night, thinking if at all my proposals would come to fruit.

  Hansa P. Parekh : Yeah Himanshu, even I too get awakened at night by bad dreams, it's been so for the past 15 years.

  Tulsidas 'Babuji' Parekh : [Sarcastically]  Hansa, you have never even once in these 15 years woke up before afternoon. How the hell are you supposed to be up at night ?

  Praful T. Parekh : Babuji, in Hansa's bad dreams it's always night. Simple things never go into your mind.

  Hansa P. Parekh : Yeah Praful. You know once I had a bad dream that Akshay Kumar visited our house but unfortunately there wasn't a pen so he could give his autograph. However, when he did give his autograph to all of us, Babuji was in great pain.

  Tulsidas 'Babuji' Parekh : Wait, why would I be pained if a star like Akshay Kumar gave his autograph to us ?

  Hansa P. Parekh : Don't ask stupid questions Babuji. Wouldn't you be in pain if somebody slashed your wrists.

  Tulsidas 'Babuji' Parekh : What ?

  Hansa P. Parekh : Yes Babuji, when Akshay Kumar couldn't find a pen, he simply used our knife to slash your wrists and gave us his autograph with your blood.

• Public Prosecutor : [to Dinayar Contractor during Sanjay Sharma's case]  Your honour, I represent Chakku Singh in his attempted murder at the hands of Mr. Himanshu Seth.

  Praful T. Parekh : [From the witness box]  Ohh I see, you're a lawyer.

  Public Prosecutor : [Irritated]  Mr. Parekh, I am wearing a black coat on white shirt and trousers. Its obvious I am a lawyer.

  Praful T. Parekh : It's not necessary. Isn't it possible that you might be a magician.

  Public Prosecutor : A magician ?

  Praful T. Parekh : Yeah, and going by your black clothes, you might be into black magic.

  Public Prosecutor : [Furious]  And if I were into black magic, what'd I be doing in this courtroom ?

  Praful T. Parekh : Who knows if you might've performed something horrifying on someone and you're here to confess your crime to Judge Sir.
