Sun rises beautifully over Dumil Kuppam. The kuppam has bungalows and skyscrapers since this is a Bunker film and the producer is someone else. Kambi is peeping outside his window's irumbu kambis and jollu vittufying at a mokkai figure at the compulsion of the director. Joom sot. Is that a scarecrow, people are made to wonder. Oh that's Sodha..Vandhana rather. She is teaching gaana songs to the youngsters of her kuppam and the all the guys seem visibly upset by this beauty...understandably so.

Kambi : Amma, naan kulikka poraen.
Amma : Poyaenda, edhukku en kitta sollara, naan enna bathroom-a ribbon vetti thorantha kodukka mudiyum?
Kambi : Illa ma, venneer ready-a?
Amma : Kozha-va thara. Madras veyyil-ku vara thanniye sooda dhaan varum. Veena gas-a waste pannatha.
Kambi : Amma, bathroom-la soap illa.
Amma : Nee lawyer-a irundhu sambaathikkara 1000 roobai-ku Dove soap-a vaanga mudiyum. Bathroom sevuru-la muthugu thaechuttu vanthu saeru.

Kambi : Amma, coffee.
Amma : Dei 30 roobai soap-ey vaanga kaasu illa, idhula unakku Simran kudikkara Sunrise coffee vaera poattu kodupaangala.
Kambi : Appa innum ezhunthukkaliya?
Amma : Ivalo seekiram ezhunthu, avar enna Tendulkar maadhiri net practice-a panna poraar. Thongattum manushan.
Kambi : Seri ma naan kalambaraen.
Amma : Dei kambi, indha da edho letter vanthirukku. Enna-nu paaru.

Saniyan avatharithu vittar. Ungalukku nadakkum anyayangalai Saniyan-idam theriviyyungal. Avargalukku 18 patti panchayat nidhigal padi kadumaiyaana dhandanai vazhanga padum. Ungal pugaargalai pakkathil irukkum Saneeswaran kovil sevuththil kari-aal(charcoal) kirukkumaaru kaettukolla padugireergal. Indha kadithathai 8 paerukku anuppinal ungalukku arivu valara vaaipu pragasamaaga irukkirathu. - Ippadikku, Saniyan.

Kambi : Enna ma idhu?
Amma : Enna yezhavo da. 8 paerukku anuppu. Appadiyaavathu unakku arivu valarutha paarpom.
Kambi : Seri ma, naan office-ku poraen.
Amma : Aamama, nee rules ellam paarthu indha traffic-la poi saerarthukulla, vaangara 1000 roobai-kum loss of pay dhaan. Seekiram poi thulai.

Kambi leaves to office on his bike. On the way, a guy spits on his face.

Kambi : Yaenda en maela echai thuppina?
Man : Ipposathikku adhu mattum dhaan vanthichu, thuppinaen.
Kambi : Echai thuppittu mariyaathai vaera illama pesara nee?
Man : Saniyaney, mariyaathaiye illathathu naala dhaan echai thuppinaen. Thudachuttu poi velaiya paaru.
Kambi : Cha...naatula yaarum nambala madhikkavey maataengraangaley!

Next Kambi sees people not following traffic rules and shouts at them...

Kambi : Ippadi yellow line thaandi poriye, arivu illiya unakku?
Man : Indha pakkathulaenthu paartha nee dhaan yellow line-ku andha pakkam irukka!
Kambi : Edhirla vara vandi ellam eppadi pogum?
Man : Dei office pora tension-la irukkaen, idhula unakku Internal Combustion Engine pathi ellam class edukka mudiyaathu, mooditu po.
Kambi : Traffic jam aaga poguthu!
Man : Idhukku maela pesina maganey padukka poattu adippaen.
Kambi : Cha...naatula yaarum nambala madhikkavey maaraengraangaley!

Kambi's brake wire gets cut. And he accelerates fully to crash into a nearby tree. According to laws of cinema, break pudikkatti vehicle must be accelerated fully until you find something suitable to crash it. Acceleration kammi panni, ignition off pannarthu is strictly prohibited. Aadhi kaalathulaenthu cinema-la indha loosu thanam dhaan nadakkuthu. So commercial success-kaaga naanum en padathula appadiye vechuttaen.

Kambi : Ennaya brake wire thaayaar panreenga?
Dealer : Thaayaar-a? Adhu dosai mix paer-la?
Kambi : Sorry, pathatathula oru kaal poattutaen.
Dealer : Yaaru maelae?
Kambi : Un pondatti maela.
Dealer : Adi seruppala, shaithan-ki bacha.
Kambi : Dei, naan Nedumudi Venu ka bacha.
Dealer : Seri seri vishayatha sollu.
Kambi : Brake wire pinju poachu.
Dealer : Cha...imbuttu dhaan. Nimbal bayanthutaan.
Kambi : Ennaya ippadi sollara? Oru uyirukku ivalo dhaan madhippa?
Dealer : Un uyirukku idhuvae jaasthi...jaao jaao!
Kambi : Cha...yaarum enna madhikkavey maataengraangaley.

Kambi then decides to go to his office by bus. There he sees Vandhana, the mokkai figure sitting.

Vandhana : Kambi, inga okkarunga.
Kambi : Vaendaam, adhu ladies seat.
Vandhana : Adhunaala dhaan sollaraen, okkarunga.
Kambi : Cha...Vandhana kooda enna madhikka maataengraaley.

Indha situation-la paattu thevai illai dhaan. But hero-heroine pakkathu pakkathula okkandha sila touchings ellam nadakkum. Andha gujaals-a celebrate panna "Kumari" song-a inga fit pannikkarom. Super location-la shoot pannathu. Super super poo-ku nadoola pichaikaari get up-la(without make-up that is) Vandhana dancing something between Bharatanatyam and Dappanguthu. Summa oru dhrishthikaaga aada vittathu.

Nextu serious scene. Kambi sees a man dying on the road and wants to help him desperately. Kai neetti neetti paarkaraan, as usual oru payalum madhikkala. Kadasiya un ilicha vaayan maatinaan.

Man : Yaenda vandiya niruthina?
Kambi : Sir sir, konjam help pannunga sir.
Man : Adhellam mudiyaathu, naan Hotel Atchaya-la Jalaja-oda jalsa panna poitu irukkaen.
Kambi : Adhu varaikkum uyir thaangaathu sir.
Man : Yaen nee auto-la kootittu poyaen?
Kambi : Adhu Bunker sir script padi, andha idea enakku thonaathu sir.
Man : Ippo ennandra nee?
Kambi : Avara hospital kootittu poganum.
Man : Mudiyaathu poda.
Kambi : Cha...yaarumae enna madhikka maataengraangaley.

Idhellam mudichuttu Kambi reaches court. Adhukulla closing time. Idha symbolise panna oru long shot-la court builing maela rendu kaka parakka vittu (graphics kaka dhaan), sunset-a kaamchu scene-a cut pannidarom. Idhuvum part of Tamil cinema tradition.

Kambi reaches home and starts pouring water over his head.

Kambi : Yaarum enna madhikkarthu illa. Madhippae illa enakku. Enakku mariyaathaiye illa.
Amma : Dei Kambi, moonum adhae dialogue dhaan. Ippo edhukku echo effect kodutha nee?
Kambi : Yaarumae enna madhikka maataengra ma.
Amma : Idhu enna puthusa? Chinna vayasulaenthu ippadi dhaan daily thalai-la rendu bucket thanniya oothi oothi Madras-la thanni kashtamey vanthudichu. Innum unna oru payalum madhicha paadu illa.
Kambi : Naan ennama pannatum?
Appa : Pesaama quarter adichu kuppara padu. Goodnight.
Amma : Summa irunga. Peththa payyan kitta pesara paecha adhu?
Appa : Idhukkaga pakkathu veetu payyan kittaya solla mudiyum idhellam?
