[Akash and Shalini are sitting next to each other in the plane]
Akash Malhotra : So where are you going?
Shalini : ...This flight goes to Sydney
Akash Malhotra : I know, but where are *you* going?
Shalini : To Sydney!
Akash Malhotra : What a coincidence, the three of us are going to Sydney!

Akash Malhotra : You, me, and this flight.

Akash Malhotra : You say you love a woman who is 10 to 15 years older than you, has a daughter, had a husband. You've told us she has a drinking problem. What should we understand?
Siddharth Sinha : Just this. I know all this and still love her.
Sameer : But Sid, think about it. This isn't love, it's insanity.
Siddharth Sinha : No. This is love. I don't expect her to be mine or marry me. I don't expect any such thing. Even if she doesn't love me, it's okay because I...
Akash Malhotra : Okay! I get it. Remember, Sameer? Even I had started off like this.
Sameer : Started what off? Oh. Of course.
Akash Malhotra : Okay, Sid. If that's what it's about then I have no objection. In fact she's perfect for you. She's experienced, lives alone. You visit her everyday. Learn from him, Sameer. Really, Sid. You couldn't have chosen better...
Siddharth Sinha : [Slaps Akash] How disgusting is your thinking! Here I am telling you I love her and you made it a dirty joke. Grow up, Akash. It isn't necessary that we approve everything between us. But there is a line in every friendship that shouldn't be crossed. And you have crossed it today. And you know what, Akash? At some point in life when one experiences true love. Then all the things you said about her age and stuff, they don't mean anything. They all seem trivial. I pity you, Akash. You won't understand this today. But some day you will know. You don't decide to fall in love. It just happens.

Sameer : [Calling Priya on the phone in fear] Hi Priya. I was... but... listen to me... but you... But I... when... I'm at Akash's
[Priya cuts the call]
Sameer : Hello! She hung up.
Akash Malhotra : Then what were you thinking? Did you expect to say 'Sorry darling'? What nonsense! There's a limit to everything, Sameer. Tell her that these tantrums won't work. She'll have to do as you say if she wants to be with you. She's challenged your self-respect. What are you doing? Be a man!

[Akash, Sameer and Sid at Chapora Fort]
Akash Malhotra : [sighing] What a beautiful place!
Sameer : Yes, it's beautiful.
Akash Malhotra : You know what? We should spend a week in Goa every year.
Sameer : Definitely.
[Sameer facing Sid]
Sameer : Isn't it Sid?
Siddharth Sinha : Yes.
Sameer : [after a brief pause] What are you thinking?
Siddharth Sinha : I'm looking at that ship, which won't be visible soon.
[All three looking at the ship]
Siddharth Sinha : You know we three are like that ship, who will some day go out in search of our destinations. And maybe, our destinations may be different.
Sameer : [facing Sid] I don't understand why you're saying all this. We're friends, Sid. For life.
Siddharth Sinha : Of course, we are. But who knows where life will take us? Have you ever thought, that coming here for a week every year on one side, it would be difficult to meet even once in 10 years.
Akash Malhotra : No such thing will happen, Sid. We were, will, and remain friends, forever.
[Akash and Sameer shake hands]
Sameer : Definitely.
-
Akash Malhotra : It had to happen. Priya would've ditched you one day. You know why? She didn't love you, but some other Sameer. He looked like you, but he was someone else. You're not that Sameer. You're our Sameer. Sid and I know you, and Priya can only hope to know you. If you became Priya's Sameer, our Sameer would be the loser.
-
Akash Malhotra : Sameer, I'm sure you've fallen in love with her. But I'm sure you'll fall in love with another girl in three months.
-
Akash Malhotra : I've decided not to fall in love and ruin my life.
Shalini : But you can't choose to fall in love. It just happens.
Akash Malhotra : Then I don't let love happen.
Shalini : Give it some time. You'll fall in love.
-
Sameer : What's happening? Has someone died?
Akash Malhotra : Yes. You.
-
Akash Malhotra : All relationships begin with smiles and end in tears.
-
Akash Malhotra : I am really sorry, Sid. Please forgive me.
Siddharth Sinha : I should apologize, too.
Akash Malhotra : Some other day. It's my turn today.
-
Akash Malhotra : I'm not getting married.
Rohit : Why?
Akash Malhotra : You have to love someone to marry. In my view, this thing called love doesn't exist in this world.
Rohit : What nonsense! Shalini and I love each other, that's why we're marrying. Right, Shalini?
Akash Malhotra : You should not ask this to each other, but to yourself.
-
Siddharth Sinha : You haven't changed at all.
Akash Malhotra : Yes. Anyway, it's hard to improve on perfection.
