Siddharth Sinha : Deepa, why do you like Akash so much?
Deepa : What do you mean?
Siddharth Sinha : [after a brief pause] Sometimes I think why we like someone. Why do you like him?
Deepa : I don't know. I just do.
Siddharth Sinha : Despite knowing that Akash...
Deepa : ... doesn't love me? Yes, even then.
Siddharth Sinha : Deepa, you're beautiful, intelligent. You can get so many guys.
Deepa : [saying in between] If I'm so beautiful then why can't I get Akash?
Siddharth Sinha : I don't know. Yes, I know that if you're in any trouble, then Akash can do all he can for you. But Deepa, you should not hope for such things which...
[Sid stops and takes some sand]
Siddharth Sinha : Now you see this sand? The more you try to hold it tightly, the more it slip through your fingers.

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.

Siddharth Sinha : [Coming at Tara's doorstep]
Tara Jaiswal : [Closing the door] Siddharth please go away.
Siddharth Sinha : [Opening the door] Please listen to me.
Tara Jaiswal : [In an angry tone] I don't want to hear anything. Have I ever made you feel that I love you or seek a relationship with you?
Siddharth Sinha : [Calmly] No.
Tara Jaiswal : Then how did you assume that you and me could have a relationship? This is the problem with your generation. You think anything goes. But that's not so, Siddharth. Not just me, you've also hurt your mom.
Siddharth Sinha : [sighing] Please sit down. Please
Tara Jaiswal : [sighs angrily and sits down]
Siddharth Sinha : [Sits down and looks down in guilt] I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that I caused you and mom such pain. I'm sorry you had to hear all this because of me. But it's true that I love you.
[Sid looking at Tara]
Siddharth Sinha : I'm not sorry for that. It's also true that I never wanted you to know it. Because I knew that you... wouldn't understand. I just want to see you happy.
Tara Jaiswal : [Looks at Sid to understand]
Siddharth Sinha : And if knowing the truth has caused you pain today then all I can say is that it was not my intention. I'm so sorry.
Tara Jaiswal : [Softly] Sid, please leave now.
[Sid leaves]

[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.

Tara Jaiswal : You meet people and interact with them. But there's a world within you, which is made of your dreams and fantasies. You don't share them with anyone. I wonder if those who claim to know you, really know you at all.
Siddharth Sinha : What makes you say that?
Tara Jaiswal : [interpreting his paintings] The door is closed. No one can enter it. The box is shut. No one can steal anything. Who can say what feelings lie behind those eyelids? I wonder what other things your paintings hide.

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.
-
Siddharth Sinha : You haven't changed at all.
Akash Malhotra : Yes. Anyway, it's hard to improve on perfection.
