He's at a new studio. 01:06:50:16 Where is it? 01:06:55:02 India! 01:06:57:08 INDIA 01:06:59:17 A LONG TIME AGO 01:07:01:21 When? 01:07:03:06 I don't remember what year... 01:07:04:22 there's no year... 01:07:05:20 How do you know there's a year for that? 01:07:07:14 I think they say the 14th Century. 01:07:10:05 The 14th Century was recently. 01:07:12:05 No, but...I don't know... 01:07:13:08 That's when...the Moghuls were ruling, Babar was in India 01:07:16:01 OK, the 11th then 01:07:16:23 It's definitely B.C. 01:07:19:23 It's B.C. for sure 01:07:21:13 and I think it's Ayodhya, where Ram was born 01:07:25:09 I know that because they razed that temple. 01:07:28:05 They say that Ram was born there. Which I don't believe - 01:07:30:22 - but that's what they say. 01:07:31:22 And Ayodhya is in the state of Uttar Pradesh. 01:07:35:13 It's right there! Therefore the story has to be true. 01:07:37:23 It's probably based on as real as event as what the Bible is based on. 01:07:42:14 You want to know the whole story? 01:07:45:17 Oh, because Ram's father had 4 wives. 01:07:49:11 3 wives. 01:07:50:17 3 wives? 01:07:51:20 4 sons. 01:07:52:16 4 sons, 3 wives. OK. 01:07:54:01 I know the names of the sons by the way. 01:07:55:10 Kausalya... 01:07:57:06 No, that's the wife, that's what I meant. 01:08:00:02 Kausalya, Sumitra and Kaikeyi. 01:08:03:19 And Kausalya's son was Ram 01:08:06:07 Sumitra's son was Laxman 01:08:08:18 Kaikeyi's son was Bharat 01:08:10:01 I'm so impressed! 01:08:11:14 Yes, and 01:08:12:18 Shatrughan I think was Laxman's brother which means he had to be, uh 01:08:16:22 Sumitra's son. 01:08:18:01 Sita was Ram's wife 01:08:20:21 Right, and Sita I know also, Sita's father was Janaka. 01:08:24:16 Sita has many names, Sita only being one of them. 01:08:27:14 Yeah. 01:08:28:10 Janaki! Janaki! 01:08:29:20 Janaki also. 01:08:31:04 And Vahish, Vahish, uh... 01:08:34:16 I saw a play- Vaidehi. -huh? 01:08:36:04 Vaidehi, I saw a play called Vaidehi, right, which I learned is another name for Sita. 01:08:41:17 Ram was about to be crowned by Dasharatha as the king 01:08:46:03 and Kaikeyi went to him and 01:08:49:05 Because she had done something really good 01:08:51:13 I think she had taken care of him when he was sick. 01:08:53:03 Yes. 01:08:56:01 And so at that point he had said to her, 01:08:57:13 "You have one Boon. Anything you ask of me I will do." 01:09:01:08 and so she went and asked him to send Ram away for 14 years 01:09:04:22 thinking that was a long enough time, that if you go away for 14 years, 01:09:07:11 you're pretty much out of sight, out of mind. 01:09:14:00 AYODHYA, A LONG TIME AGO, B.C. 01:09:28:01 Rama my son, today I wished to crown you King of Ayodhya 01:09:32:23 but my evil scheming wife Kaikeyi- 01:09:37:03 -just reminded me of an ancient vow I made. 01:09:40:08 To honor this vow, instead of crowning you king, I must 01:09:44:05 banish you to the forest for 14 years! 01:09:49:01 Goodbye, dear boy. You are noble and good. 01:09:53:04 The embodiment of righteousness. 01:09:55:05 A brave warrior prince. 01:09:57:13 Joy of Heaven and Earth. 01:09:59:13 The Ideal Man. 01:10:01:18 May the Gods be with you. 01:10:04:16 Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. 01:10:08:05 That's what she asked for and Dasharatha was heartbroken 01:10:12:16 but given that all Indian men are true to their word... 01:10:16:12 He had to...do that. 01:10:20:03 And then he died. 01:10:22:09 Didn't he die? -No, I... 01:10:23:11 He died eventually... 01:10:24:21 No, but all those Ram Leelas I'd seen when I was a kid... 01:10:29:17 He died right away? 01:10:31:14 There's this big scene, very dramatic 01:10:33:02 he's having a heart attack when his son is going away. 01:10:36:13 I do think he was unwell... 01:10:39:02 Yeah that's true. 01:10:40:10 And he also has a huge issue, right 01:10:42:12 He's like ravaged by guilt, because Ram is such a good son. 01:10:46:03 And Ram, when he was told to go away, 01:10:48:05 actually said he would. He didn't create any problems, he didn't say, 01:10:50:15 "why?" 01:10:51:19 He just said, 01:10:52:12 "If that is your wish Father, I shall go." 01:10:55:13 And then he went. 01:10:56:23 And Sita said, "If you go, I go." 01:10:59:16 No, Sita. 01:11:01:07 The forest is beset by Rakshasa demons. 01:11:05:07 They harrass our Wise Men and desecrate their ritual fires. 01:11:10:02 I must fight them...alone. 01:11:14:10 But Rama, a woman's place is next to her Husband! 01:11:18:07 I will accept any hardship. 01:11:20:17 I cannot live without you. 01:11:23:10 I cannot live without you... I cannot live without you... 01:11:43:15 I hate to think what might have been if we had never met 01:11:50:00 Why should I suppose that this could be? 01:11:55:23 The weary days, the lonely nights, are easy to forget 01:12:02:16 since I am here, and you are here with me. 01:12:09:05 Here we are, you and I 01:12:15:21 let the World hurry by 01:12:22:20 Even while I waited, somehow, dear, I knew 01:12:29:12 You'd find me, I'd find you 01:12:36:11 Here we are, alone together 01:12:43:05 what matter whether, we wander far? 01:12:49:22 And though we haven't got a bankful, 01:12:54:16 we can still be thankful 01:12:57:19 that here, that here we are! 01:13:32:04 Here we are, you and I 01:13:38:23 Let the World just hurry by 01:13:46:01 Even while I waited, somehow, dear, I knew 01:13:53:07 you'd find me, and I'd find you 01:14:00:07 Here we are, alone together 01:14:07:00 what matter whether we wandered far? 01:14:14:01 and though we haven't got a bankful, 01:14:18:22 we can still be thankful 01:14:21:22 that here we are! 01:14:30:00 That's all! 01:14:40:06 I'll miss you. 01:14:41:16 It's only a 6-month contract. I'll be back before you know it! 01:15:00:08 Ravana was the evil king of Lanka 01:15:05:18 and he just stole Sita. 01:15:10:08 He was an incredibly learned man. 01:15:13:22 Actually the only bad thing he seems to have done... 01:15:16:09 ...is capture Sita. 01:15:19:19 Which is kind of interesting because everything else about him seems to be, like 01:15:22:10 he was this really learned guy, 01:15:24:06 he knows all these weapons 01:15:25:07 he prays to the right Gods... 01:15:28:00 so all this stuff! He's like this Good King. 01:15:31:09 Except that, over time, we've been led to believe he's this complete... 01:15:34:20 that he's like Mogambo. 01:15:37:04 That's right, he lived on an island also! 01:15:40:11 He was a devoted Shiva-bhakta. 01:15:44:09 and he plays - - all these instruments... 01:15:46:01 Veena with his intestines. 01:15:49:22 With his intestines? 01:15:51:04 Yeah, for Shiva. 01:15:53:02 There's this whole thing about how devoted a fan he was 01:15:58:12 and he's asking Lord Shiva for some wish 01:16:02:16 and, you know, he is basically playing Veena with his intestines. 01:16:08:02 It's hard to fell someone like that in battle, because 01:16:10:07 what is pain to a man who plays Veena on his intestines? 01:16:12:23 Nothing much. 01:16:15:00 What I'm really impressed with is he was the king of Sri Lanka. 01:16:17:23 No, he was the king of Lanka. 01:16:20:12 It was Lanka. It's called Ceylon. It's the same country I think. 01:16:23:13 Well the point is that's what we think. 01:16:25:15 They built the bridge. 01:16:26:19 The bridge still exists, so NASA images says. 01:16:30:08 Really? NASA? It must be true then! 01:16:35:17 Maybe they saw them on the moon! 01:16:38:15 Isn't there a Suruphanaka story? Suruphanaka right? 01:16:41:20 Surphanaka. 01:16:44:01 I'm messing up her name. God, they're gonna be after me 01:16:46:13 Surphanaka is the one with the really ugly nose. 01:16:49:07 Surphanaka. But she was Ravana's sister. 01:16:51:11 Ravana! Rama has slaughtered your Rakshasas in the forest. You must take revenge! 01:16:56:10 Don't do it, Master. Rama is powerful. 01:17:01:20 Sister, do not bother me with your petty concerns. 01:17:07:23 Dear Brother Ravana, have you seen Rama's wife Sita? 01:17:13:04 She is the most beautiful woman in the world. 01:17:17:01 Her skin is fair like the lotus blossom. 01:17:20:18 Her eyes are like lotus pools. 01:17:23:18 Her hands are like, um, lotuses. 01:17:27:14 Her breasts are like big, round, firm, juicy lotuses! 01:17:37:17 Make Sita your wife, Ravana. Steal her from Rama! 01:17:42:02 Don't do it, Master! 01:17:45:03 I'll hear no arguments from you, Mareecha. You must help me at once. 01:17:51:03 Transform yourself into a beautful golden deer to distract Rama. 01:17:56:23 While Sita is unguarded, I'll grab her! 01:18:01:23 Sita WILL be mine! hahahaha! 01:18:19:13 What a beautiful golden deer! 01:18:23:03 Oh Rama, won't you capture it for me? 01:18:26:07 I don't know, Sita. It could be a trick! 01:18:29:06 Oh Rama, pleeeaaase? 01:18:32:13 All right, Sita. You ask for so little and give me so much. 01:18:37:00 But promise you won't leave the hut while I'm gone. The forest is dangerous. 01:18:42:05 I promise! Oh Rama, I love you! 01:18:46:02 I love you, Sita. 01:19:20:18 Love was blind to me, now it's kind to me, 01:19:25:01 Love has opened my eyes. 01:19:28:14 Since it came to me, life's a game to me 01:19:32:13 with the sweetest surprise. 01:19:37:05 I never knew how good it was to be 01:19:41:08 a slave to one who means the world to me. 01:19:46:23 I loved that man from the start, and way down deep in his heart 01:19:52:01 I know he loves me, Heaven knows why 01:19:57:05 and when he tells me he can't live without me 01:20:03:01 what wouldn't I do for that man? 01:20:07:08 He's not an angel or saint, and what's the odds that he ain't 01:20:12:06 with all his faults I know he'll get by 01:20:17:02 I'll be so true to him, he'll never doubt me 01:20:22:14 What wouldn't I do for that man? 01:20:27:05 Oh, when he lets me lean my weary head on his shoulder 01:20:36:22 I close my eyes right there and wish I never grow older 01:20:46:14 I'll never leave him alone, I'll make his troubles my own 01:20:51:18 I love that man as nobody can 01:20:56:16 I'm just no good when his arms are about me 01:21:01:23 What wouldn't I do for that man? 01:21:31:10 I'll never leave him alone, I'll make his troubles my own 01:21:36:06 I love that man better than I do my self 01:21:41:00 I'm just no good when his arms are about me 01:21:46:12 What wouldn't I do for that man? 01:21:50:12 Oh there's not a thing I wouldn't do for my man. 01:21:58:13 That's all! 01:22:02:16 But you know what Sita does then? How she is able to tell these people where she - 01:22:06:06 She drops her jewelry 01:22:08:12 along the way. 01:22:10:12 And that's how they were able to find her. It went all the way to Lanka. 01:22:15:21 How many times did she drop the jewelry? 01:22:18:16 She was wearing a whole lot of jewelry in the forest. 01:22:21:14 I mean, no, remember, she's not wearing any jewelry 'cause she left everything 01:22:25:10 before she left Ayodhya and she came - - oh she left everything? 01:22:28:16 Right, she just came in her Sanyasi clothes. 01:22:31:09 Don't challenge these stories. 01:22:36:02 She's gone. 01:22:37:22 I told her not to leave the hut! 01:22:40:13 Oh how will I ever find her? 01:22:48:11 Sita! Oh Sita, what has become of you? 01:22:53:18 Actually, the origins of Hanuman... 01:22:56:15 All these demons were attacking the Earth 01:22:59:05 and supposedly all the Gods and everyone went to Vishnu and said 01:23:02:15 "Please help us, please help us!" 01:23:05:02 So Vishnu said he would be born on Earth as Ram. 01:23:08:06 But he was born as Krishna also, this is very confusing. 01:23:10:08 That's dasavatar, 10 incarnations. 01:23:12:21 So...the 10th one is the last one, not come yet supposedly. 01:23:18:01 So anyway, he said what we'll do is, 01:23:20:05 Shiva will be born as someone who helps him. 01:23:23:23 So Shiva is actually...Hanuman is an incarnation of Shiva. 01:23:27:21 Oh I didn't know that. - I didn't know that either. 01:23:30:12 Yup. And, so Hanuman is actually born with the sole purpose 01:23:34:03 of eventually meeting up with Ram and helping him. 01:23:36:22 Like that was the reason for his birth. 01:23:51:06 I will help you. 01:23:53:12 Who are you? 01:23:54:22 I am Hanuman, the Monkey Warrior! Son of the Wind! 01:24:01:10 I am Rama, Prince of Ayodhya. Let us be allies. 01:24:06:07 I shall be your servant forever. 01:24:09:13 Now go, find Sita! 01:24:47:19 Hello? 01:24:48:09 It's me. 01:24:49:15 Dave! Where are you? 01:24:51:17 Trivandrum, silly. At home. 01:24:54:21 You have a home phone? 01:24:56:03 Of course. 01:24:57:13 You've been gone a month and you never emailed me your phone number. 01:25:00:20 I didn't? Well, I have some good news. 01:25:04:18 They've extended my contract another year! 01:25:07:22 What? Another year? You said you'd be back in 6 months. 01:25:11:23 But I like it here. 01:25:13:17 What about me? What about Lexi? 01:25:17:15 What about our apartment? 01:25:20:12 What about US? 01:25:25:05 Don't cry, Nina. 01:25:28:15 I love you. 01:25:32:07 You could come here... 01:25:36:03 She sits under a tree. 01:25:38:02 And she weeps. 01:25:39:23 And thinks of Ram. And prays to Ram. 01:25:44:00 And all these evil people, you know all these movies and all these shows we've seen 01:25:47:17 all these evil people come and sort of scare her, and she prays to Ram. 01:25:51:03 But the thing is that the women, 01:25:55:13 whatever, the women-demons, who are supposed to protect her, are amazed 01:25:58:21 by her devotion to Ram. 01:26:02:05 And so Ravana also comes and says, 01:26:03:14 "what can Ram do for you, blah blah blah, that I can't?" 01:26:07:11 but she's still, "Ram will come here and you still have one last chance 01:26:10:16 "because once he comes here, you know, 01:26:13:02 "your ass is grass." 01:26:17:02 I love you Sita. You must be my wife. 01:26:21:12 Never. I love only Rama. 01:26:27:11 I am the chaste and virtuous wife of another man. 01:26:32:19 I belong to Rama as the rays belong to the Sun. 01:26:38:08 Give me back to Rama, or you shall soon hear his mighty bow that resounds like Indra's thunderbolt! 01:26:50:13 The more a man speaks sweetly to a woman, the more she insults him! 01:26:57:03 You have two months to decide, lovely lady. 01:27:02:05 Then you shall share my bed! 01:27:06:09 If you do not marry me, my Rakshasas will slaughter you for my breakfast. 01:27:15:15 Your ugly yellow eyes should fall out of your head as you stare at me so lustfully, Ravana. 01:27:20:16 The only reason I do not reduce you to ashes with my own blazing power 01:27:25:13 is because Rama has not ordered me to do so. 01:27:49:11 When night is creepin', and I should be sleepin' in bed 01:27:56:06 if you were peepin', you'd find that I'm weepin' instead 01:28:03:08 My lovin' Daddy left his baby again, said he'd come back but he forgot to say when 01:28:10:08 Night after night I'm cryin' Daddy won't you please come home? 01:28:17:08 Daddy won't you please come home, I'm so lonesome 01:28:24:06 No one can fill that vacant chair 01:28:27:18 Home isn't home when you're not there 01:28:31:07 No need to knock, the door is open for you 01:28:36:19 Please, Daddy 01:28:38:11 Even the clock keeps tickin' Daddy won't you please come home? 01:28:45:09 Daddy do you have to roam so very long? 01:28:51:04 There's lots of other new sheiks who would like to be sheikin' 01:28:56:02 haven't slipped yet but I'm liable to weaken 01:29:00:00 Daddy, Daddy won't you please come home? 01:30:02:02 Please, Daddy 01:30:03:12 Even the clock keeps tickin' Daddy won't you please come home? 01:30:10:12 Daddy do you have to roam so very long? 01:30:16:08 There's lots of other new sheiks who would like to be sheikin' 01:30:21:07 haven't slipped yet but I'm liable to weaken 01:30:25:03 Daddy, Daddy won't you please come home? 01:30:32:16 That's all! 01:30:36:12 She also made her own share of mistakes, in fact she should've just gone back with Hanuman. 01:30:39:22 The whole idea of "my man will save me," 01:30:42:10 it's like oh, you're one little tight thing. 01:30:44:00 Jump on the monkey's back, go back, chill out, hundreds will be fine. OK? 01:30:49:09 But is it possible she didn't trust the monkey altogether? 01:30:52:22 It is possible. 01:30:54:14 No. I think she absolutely trusted the monkey 01:30:58:07 but she wanted her man to come. 01:31:00:02 OK that's another thing, it's like, "You gotta prove it to me baby!" 01:31:02:17 "You gotta show me!" -but- -she knew- 01:31:05:06 Sorry, go ahead- 01:31:06:17 but she also wanted the evil king to be defeated, like my husband should come and - 01:31:11:10 OK, why don't you go back, so the evil king doesn't have a hostage, and then do it? 01:31:17:03 But it's almost like she was trying to glorify Ram through this whole process. 01:31:21:11 You know? Like, "my man will come and he is capable of this 01:31:25:02 "and he's virtuous, and he will kill Ravan, and..." 01:31:29:10 Anyway- She's a bloodthirsty woman. 01:31:33:01 SUBLET: MUST LOVE CAT. ONE BEDROOM SF APT. AVAILABLE JUNE 1 THRU NEXT YEART. MUST LOVE AND CARE FOR OUR CAT LEXI. 01:32:01:12 But my question is, were they monkeys? Because they actually- 01:32:03:22 They could fly- 01:32:04:13 not monkeys, um, from what I understand they're actually different from monkeys 01:32:11:00 Like from what I understand monkeys are one species 01:32:14:05 and then, the Vanars were another species. They were half man, half monkey. 01:32:18:23 OK. Because they had tails though. 01:32:21:12 Correct. But they're not... 01:32:24:14 Like, yeah. I definitely think the tail and the... 01:32:26:23 They were half...they were definitely half monkey, if not more. 01:32:29:17 Yeah but that's what the army was. Because otherwise they were these two brothers, they didn't have any army 01:32:33:15 These two brothers and then all of Sugriv's big army, all the... 01:32:36:18 The Vanar Sena. The Vanar Sena, right. 01:32:39:23 Hanuman! Assemble the Monkey Warriors. 01:32:42:22 We shall cross the sea to Lanka and rescue Sita. 01:32:46:23 Yes, my Lord. We march at once! 01:33:18:05 Who's that knockin'? Don't stand outside there, come on in here! 01:33:22:15 I just had a sort of feeling this morning 01:33:27:03 something good was gonna happen today 01:33:31:13 Now there comes a sound without any warning 01:33:35:22 I just know it's good luck coming my way! 01:33:40:10 Goodness gracious, can it be? Someone's coming back to me 01:33:44:17 Who's that knocking at my door? 01:33:49:07 I've been waiting oh so long, I'll just die if I'm wrong 01:33:53:15 Who's that knocking at my door? 01:33:57:03 I know it can't be the mailman, the coal man, the ice man, they've been here today 01:34:02:12 can't be the grocer, the butcher, the baker, they don't knock that way 01:34:06:22 If my sweetie's there outside, my arms and my heart are open wide 01:34:11:06 Who's that knocking at my door? 01:34:51:10 Me oh my, my oh me, guess I'm having company 01:34:55:17 Who's that knocking at my door? 01:35:00:03 See the time? Eight O'Clock. Sounds like a familiar knock 01:35:04:13 Who's that knocking at my door? 01:35:08:06 I know it can't be the milk man, the gas man, the bread man, who always collects 01:35:13:16 I hope that it isn't that butter and egg man, who writes out those checks? 01:35:18:01 If it's my sweet used-to-be, gonna lock him in, lose the key 01:35:22:13 Who's that knocking at my door? 01:35:45:04 Can't be the plumber, the peddler the parlor, cause I've paid those bills 01:35:49:14 I hope that it isn't the doctor, the dentist, they can't cure my ills 01:35:54:07 If it's someone that I've known, gonna make him feel at home 01:35:58:15 Who's that knocking at my door? 01:36:03:11 That's all! 01:36:21:22 Dave! 01:36:28:07 mmm, oh Dave! 01:36:31:03 We're in India. No kissing in public. 01:36:58:03 Well, here you are. 01:37:01:18 Good night. 01:37:20:01 Oh gosh. Later I know what he did. What did he do when he saw her in Lanka? 01:37:25:22 Hug her and kiss her... 01:37:27:23 No I don't think so. He was very cold. 01:37:31:22 Why was he cold to Sita? 01:37:34:18 Actually I don't remember. To be honest I'm very shaky on this point... 01:37:37:17 You can make it up... 01:38:21:19 You have lived in another man's house so you are unfit to be my wife. 01:38:26:18 What? 01:38:27:23 I have done my duty in rescuing you from the enemy and avenging the insult to myself. 01:38:33:14 I have terrible suspicions about your character and conduct. 01:38:37:07 Ravana was aware of your beauty. 01:38:39:08 He cannot have kept you in his house for so long without touching you. 01:38:43:10 The very sight of you is painful. 01:38:46:11 You are free to go wherever you want. 01:38:48:10 I have no more use for you, Sita. 01:38:52:16 If I had known this, I would have killed myself before and spared you this war. 01:38:58:08 Build me a funeral pyre. I cannot bear to live. 01:39:02:03 Despite my virtues, my husband has rejected me. 01:39:06:02 He's obviously doubting her, um, pureness. 01:39:10:13 I find the whole pureness thing really...odd. 01:39:13:06 I find it really weird that no one is commending Ravana for not forcibly... 01:39:17:16 I mean I know we shouldn't commend somebody for that, but 01:39:19:07 What if he raped her? 01:39:20:21 Yeah but in terms of villians, right? -Yeah- 01:39:22:17 I mean, we expect villains to be villain-ous. 01:39:25:17 This is a guy that's like, "if you don't come to me willingly, I will not touch you." -right- 01:39:29:15 "I will not force you in my house." -right- 01:39:31:17 "I will not force myself on you..." 01:39:33:08 Well he never had sex with her, did he? 01:39:34:20 No. As Sita proved over and over again. 01:39:36:17 By trial of fire. 01:39:51:04 You're mean to me 01:39:53:14 Why must you be mean to me? 01:39:56:17 Please honey, it seems to me 01:39:59:19 you love to see me crying. I don't know why 01:40:04:19 I stay home each night when you say you'll phone 01:40:09:21 you don't, and I'm left alone 01:40:12:21 singin' the blues and sighin'. 01:40:16:19 You treat me coldly each day in the year 01:40:23:04 You always scold me 01:40:26:12 whenever somebody is near, dear 01:40:31:03 It must be great fun to be mean to me, you shouldn't 01:40:37:12 Oh can't you see what you mean to me? 01:41:36:23 Sweetheart I love you, think the world of you, but I'm afraid you don't care for me 01:41:43:22 You never show it, don't let me know it, everyone says I'm a fool to be 01:41:50:04 pining the whole day through. Why do you act like you do? 01:41:56:14 You're mean to me, why must you be mean to me 01:42:01:16 Aw gee, honey, it seems to me, you love to see me cryin' 01:42:08:06 Please tell me why 01:42:10:03 I stay at home each night when you say you'll phone 01:42:15:15 You don't, and I'm left alone just singin' the blues and sighin' 01:42:22:04 You treat me coldly each day in the year 01:42:29:00 You always scold me whenever somebody is near, dear 01:42:36:21 It must be great fun for you, can't you see what you're doing to me 01:42:43:01 Please tell me why you're so mean to me! 01:42:50:10 That's all! 01:42:53:08 And he's still not convinced, seemed like, after she went through the trial by fire 01:42:58:16 I mean it's almost like- 01:43:00:08 No but I thought he was convinced. He then, it was peer pressure 01:43:03:07 later with the washerman -yeah, because the washerman- 01:43:06:02 He was convinced, it wasn't like he doubted her 01:43:07:17 He kind of like was "OK, you are pure." 01:43:09:00 And I think he did hug her and then flowers fell from the heavens or something 01:43:13:22 Whoops. I guess you were pure after all. 01:43:16:14 Will you forgive me, Sita? 01:43:19:08 Of course, Rama. I live only for you. 01:43:43:05 Hey, they want me to attend this meeting so much they're gonna fly me all the way to New York. 01:43:46:23 5 days, all expenses paid! 01:43:50:03 That's great. It'll be fun for you. 01:44:04:23 See you next week. 01:44:19:19 No no no, it's a flying chariot, the Gods sent the chariot 01:44:23:01 I don't know, it's something -a Japanese train!- 01:44:25:08 I'm finding it, I found it to be totally cool. It was like the world's first airplane or something. 01:44:29:23 It was like the first - like they flew back. 01:44:32:08 I think it was on a bird. 01:44:33:09 Was it on a bird? 01:44:36:03 I think it was actually a flying thing of some kind. 01:44:38:02 They rode a carpet like Aladdin. 01:44:40:01 No, it was like an elaborate structure. 01:44:41:12 Pushpakha! 01:44:42:17 That's what they came back on. The flying chariot. 01:44:46:05 That was one of the Air India jumbo jets also. 01:44:48:13 And there's a movie, a silent movie 01:44:52:10 But that's what I mean, it was this thing. 01:44:54:23 It wasn't a bird- -Pushpakha Vemanum. -Yeah. -right. 01:44:57:20 I guess what is happening was the 14 years were finishing and they had to find a quick way to get back. 01:45:21:05 What does it matter if rain comes your way 01:45:26:06 and raindrops patter along? 01:45:30:07 The rain descending should not make you blue 01:45:35:08 The happy ending is waiting for you 01:45:41:12 Take your share of trouble, face it and don't complain 01:45:48:14 If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain. 01:45:55:16 Happiness comes double after a little pain 01:46:02:21 If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain. 01:46:09:09 What if your love affair should break up, as they sometimes will 01:46:17:00 When you kiss and make up, boy what a thrill! 01:46:24:05 Sadness ends in gladness, showers are not in vain 01:46:31:14 If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain. 01:46:38:19 Look for brighter weather, oh watch for the Sun again 01:46:45:10 If you want the rainbow then you must have the rain. 01:46:52:06 Pull yourself together, whistle a happy strain 01:46:58:16 If you want the rainbow then you must have the rain. 01:47:04:21 So if your lucky star deserts you, and if shadows fall 01:47:12:00 Even though it hurts you, laugh through it all 01:47:19:00 Be a cheerful loser, you have the World to gain 01:47:25:21 If you want the rainbow, why, you just must have the rain. 01:47:49:12 That's all! 01:51:12:07 DEAR NINA, DON'T COME BACK. LOVE, DAVE. 01:54:50:17 Rama, I'm pregnant! 01:54:53:05 That's wonderful, darling. 01:54:55:14 Maybe they joined the Mile High Club. On the Pushpakh Veman. 01:55:00:12 We don't know exactly when she got pregnant- -Very soon thereafter 01:55:02:08 Which is why it is conceivable that she might not have been pregnant because of Ram. 01:55:08:02 But I think it was Ram. -Blasphemy. It is Ram. 01:55:19:11 I'm not like Rama, who would take a woman who's slept in another man's house! 01:55:25:12 No but that happens with the dhobi. -there's a dhobi story. 01:55:30:02 You know the dhobi, the launderer- yeah, the dhobi's says that- 01:55:34:02 The dhobi's wife, she's with somebody else and when she comes back 01:55:37:01 he goes, "What do you think I'm like Ram, to take somebody back now after she's- 01:55:40:22 You know what a dhobi is right? He's a washerman - -and when news of that hits Ram- 01:55:44:13 Ram says, "I cannot rule, I cannot rule if my subjects don't respect me and so you'll have to- 01:55:50:14 Actually that's when he banishes her, sorry. Right. 01:55:56:14 Uh, say, Sita, would you like to take a trip? 01:56:00:13 But we just got here. 01:56:02:10 Yeah great, get packing. 01:56:06:08 Brother Laxman, my wife's dubious reputation casts doubt upon my own. 01:56:11:20 You must drive Sita to the forest and abandon her there. 01:56:15:01 I cannot have her in my kingdom. 01:56:18:00 I think basically as a king, he had to sort of do... 01:56:21:09 If the common man was doing that to their wives then why should the king treat his wife any differently kind of a thing. 01:56:26:12 Like I felt that he let her go not because she was impure, 01:56:29:19 but because he said that to be a king, he needs the respect of his subjects, and he can't be considered- 01:56:36:00 Well, I felt that he alwsys had this element of doubt 01:56:39:17 I mean it coupled of course with his virtue that everybody spoke of 01:56:44:07 and you know that he kept his word to his Dad, and then his subjects, his Kingdom, 01:56:50:02 but I felt like he always had this doubt, that she might not be pure. 01:57:03:00 I feel too bad, I'm feelin' mighty sick and sore 01:57:11:19 So bad I feel, I said I'm feelin' sick and sore and 01:57:19:22 so afraid my man don't love me no more. 01:57:29:03 Day in, day out, I'm worryin' about those blues 01:57:38:00 Day out, day in, I'm worryin' about bad news 01:57:45:23 I'm so afraid my man I'm gonna lose. 01:57:55:05 Moanin' low, my sweet man I love him so, though he's mean as can be 01:58:03:07 He's the kind of man needs a kind of woman like me 01:58:13:07 Gonna die if sweet man should pass me by, if I die where'll he be? 01:58:21:04 He's the kind of man needs a kind of woman like me. 01:58:30:12 Don't know any reason why he treats me so poorly, what've I gone and done? 01:58:39:06 Makes my troubles double with his worries when surely, I ain't deservin' of none 01:58:48:03 Moanin' low, my sweet man is gonna go, when he goes oh Lordy 01:58:56:05 He's the kind of man needs a kind of woman like me. 01:59:41:10 Don't know any reason why he treats me so poorly, what've I gone and done? 01:59:50:04 Makes my troubles double with his worries when surely I ain't deservin' of none 01:59:59:06 Moanin' low, my sweet man is gonna go, when he goes, Lordy! 02:00:08:08 He's a man that needs a woman just like me. 02:01:15:18 I must have committed a terrible sin in a previous life to deserve such suffering. 02:01:21:00 Were I not carrying Rama's sons, I would throw myself into the river. 02:01:28:06 She's always shown to be pregnant- -afterwards 02:01:33:17 No, when she's banished and she's gone into the forest again. 02:01:36:22 And there she meets that teacher. -Valmiki. -Valmiki. Sorry. 02:01:42:00 So that's how Valmiki wrote the Ramayana, because Sita told the story to him. 02:02:02:06 I'm just a woman, a lonely woman, waitin' on a weary shore 02:02:09:13 I'm just a woman, that's only human, one you should feel sorry for. 02:02:16:22 Got up this morning, along about dawn 02:02:20:22 Without a warning, I found he was gone. 02:02:24:12 Why should he do it? How could he do it? He never done it before. 02:02:30:17 Am I blue, Am I blue 02:02:38:02 Ain't these tears in these eyes tellin' you 02:02:45:20 Am I blue, You'd be too 02:02:53:18 If each plan with your man done fell through. 02:03:00:22 Was a time, I was his only one 02:03:08:11 But now I'm the sad and lonely one, Lordy. 02:03:16:11 Was I gay, til today 02:03:23:23 Now he's gone, and we're through, am I blue! 02:03:33:01 As blue as the sky blue 02:03:36:17 You're wondering what do these tears in these eyes tellin' you? 02:03:48:07 No one feels like I do 02:03:52:08 Boo boo boo hoo 02:03:54:20 Each plan with my man done fell through. 02:04:02:10 Was a time, I was his only, only, only one 02:04:10:08 But now I'm the sad and lonely one, Lordy! 02:04:17:18 Was I gay - oh Lord was I gay! 02:04:21:14 Til today - that man went away! 02:04:25:09 Now he's gone, and we're through, am I blue! 02:04:43:17 Anyway, so Luv and Kush, or Luva and Kusha, were born to Sita in the forest 02:04:49:20 and were taught by Valmiki, who taught them all these songs praising Ram. 02:05:03:01 Luv, Kush, let us sing the praises of Rama. 02:05:10:19 Rama's great, Rama's good, Rama does what Rama should 02:05:15:22 Rama's just, Rama's right, Rama is our guiding light 02:05:21:05 Perfect man, perfect son, Rama's loved by everyone 02:05:26:16 Always right, never wrong, we praise Rama in this song 02:05:31:17 Sing his love, sing his praise 02:05:35:03 Rama set his wife ablaze 02:05:37:04 Got her home, kicked her out 02:05:39:20 to allay his people's doubt 02:05:42:12 Rama's wise, Rama's just, 02:05:45:03 Rama does what Rama must 02:05:47:18 Duty first, Sita last, 02:05:50:11 Rama's reign is unsurpassed! 02:05:53:08 Rama's great, Rama's good, Rama does what Rama should 02:05:58:12 Rama's just, Rama's right, Rama is our guiding light 02:06:03:20 Perfect man, perfect son, Rama's loved by everyone 02:06:08:21 Always right, never wrong, we praise Rama in this song. 02:06:53:20 Hello? 02:06:54:20 Please take me back! Please please please! 02:06:57:18 I'll do anything! PLEASE! 02:07:01:16 If you had a girlfriend who was being treated really badly, by like her ex or her current boyfriend 02:07:08:17 and she kept saying, "no, every day I'm gonna make sure I cook for him and send him a hot lunch at noon" 02:07:17:13 Aren't you going to be like, "listen he doesn't like you and talk to you. 02:07:20:09 "you've got to move on. Something's wrong." OK? 02:07:24:08 Sita's doing this pooja every day... I mean, I feel, I feel... 02:07:29:07 Like this whole "good" and "bad" thing? That we always want people to be either all good or all bad? 02:07:32:23 I think Sita also has her own issues. Like she didn't go back with Hanuman 02:07:36:11 which would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives 02:07:38:21 -Monkeys especially. -Yeah, what about animal rights? 02:07:41:18 And, and then she prayed to this guy every day, 02:07:46:16 come on! 02:07:48:01 But also at that point in time it was just that Unconditional Love 02:07:51:14 You know, for her, she was like, ok, 02:07:53:17 "this man, he loves me." 02:07:54:15 -This is the part of the female perspective I disagree with. 02:07:57:09 Because it's like then you can say, "oh, she loves him so she did this" 02:08:00:15 you know it's like, yeah but she shouldn't love someone who doesn't treat her right. 02:08:02:13 -who treats you so badly. 02:08:03:23 OK? That's her mistake. 02:08:06:08 That's HENCE unconditional love. 02:08:20:11 You went away, I let you 02:08:24:09 We broke the ties that bind 02:08:28:01 I wanted to forget you, and leave the past behind. 02:08:35:11 Still the magic of the night I met you seems to stay forever in my mind... 02:08:45:21 The sky was blue, and high above 02:08:50:01 the moon was new, and so was love 02:08:54:09 This eager heart of mine was singing, 02:08:58:01 "Lover where can you be?" 02:09:03:04 You came at last, love had its day 02:09:07:17 That day is past, you've gone away 02:09:12:07 This aching heart of mine is singing, "Lover come back to me," when 02:09:21:16 I remember every little thing you used to do 02:09:26:17 I'm so lonely 02:09:30:20 Every road I walk along I walked along with you 02:09:36:03 No wonder I am lonely 02:09:41:11 The sky is blue, the night is cold 02:09:46:00 the moon is new, but love is old 02:09:51:04 and while I'm waiting here, this heart of mine is singing, 02:09:58:11 "Lover come back to me." 02:10:25:08 Sky is blue, night is cold, moon is new, but love is old 02:10:34:20 and while I'm waiting here this heart of mine is singing 02:10:42:07 Lover come back to me! 02:10:49:16 That's all! 02:10:57:22 And when Ram was in the forest he heard these two boys singing, 02:11:01:09 he didn't know who they were but he came up and he was just like, 02:11:02:20 "who are they, who are you?" 02:11:04:02 and that's when he finds out that 02:11:06:18 Sita's there and those are his children. 02:11:09:01 My sons! 02:11:10:12 Father? 02:11:12:06 Return to Ayodhya Palace to rule with me for eternity! 02:11:16:10 But then, he wants to take Luv and Kush back, 02:11:20:15 but he's still hesitant about taking her back. 02:11:23:11 Sita! Well, yes, of course, Sita... 02:11:27:14 All Sita has to do is prove her purity again. 02:11:31:18 Another trial by fire, perhaps? 02:11:34:15 Or we could try trial by water. You know, see if she sinks or floats. 02:11:39:06 If she sinks, she's pure. If she floats - 02:11:43:09 No, wait, if she floats she's pure, if she sinks... 02:11:47:04 And he asks her to prove her purity one more time - I think, 02:11:50:07 actually I don't know if he asks her or whatever - but she says, 02:11:53:04 I shall prove my purity to you. 02:11:56:22 If I have always been true to Rama, 02:11:59:10 if I have never thought of another man, 02:12:01:15 if I am completely pure in body and soul, then, 02:12:05:21 may Mother Earth take me back into her womb! 02:13:02:11 I'm flying high, but I've got a feeling I'm falling 02:13:07:20 falling for nobody else but you 02:13:13:16 You caught my eye, and I've got a feeling I'm falling 02:13:18:15 show me the ring and I'll jump right through. 02:13:23:05 I used to travel single, we chanced to mingle, now, 02:13:29:08 now I'm a-tingle over you 02:13:34:05 Hey Mr. Parson, stand by, for I've got a feeling I'm falling 02:13:40:13 Falling for nobody else but you. 02:14:31:04 Oh honey, oh honey, I never felt this way, 02:14:36:18 romantically I'm up in the air 02:14:42:11 It's funny, so funny, me taking it this way 02:14:48:01 Don't know if I should, but gee it feels good! 02:14:53:05 I'm flying high, up in the sky, but I've got a funny feeling that I'm falling 02:14:59:02 Falling for nobody else but you 02:15:03:01 and you know it too 02:15:04:21 You caught my eye, baby that's why, I've got a funny feeling that I'm falling 02:15:10:11 show me the ring and oh boy I'll take it from you 02:15:16:07 I used to travel single, oh we chanced to mingle, oh now, 02:15:22:09 now I'm a-tingle over you 02:15:26:13 Oh Mr. Parson stand by, don't leave me now 02:15:30:08 I've got a feeling I'm falling and how 02:15:33:08 Falling for nobody else but you! 02:15:42:15 That's all!
