~Jamal
[in container, that was heavy rain]
Young Salim, to Young Latika: Piss off!!!
She'll have the security guard onto us.
Young Jamal: Let her in.
She could be the third musketeer.
Young Salim: I'm the elder of this family, and I say she's not coming in, okay?
In any case...
We don't even know the name of the third bloody musketeer.
[Jamal getting sleep, but awake by nightmare and the rumbling thunder,

Middle Jamal: The Taj-Mahal was built by Emperor Khurram for his Mumtaz,
was the maximum beautiful woman in the world.
So when she died,
the emperor decided to build this 5-star hotel for everyone who'd like to visit her too.
But he died in 1587, before any of the rooms were built or any of the lifts.
But the swimming pool, as you can see,
was completed on schedule in top-class fashion.
Female Tourist: There's nothing of this in the guide book.
Middle Jamal: The guide book was written by a bunch of lazy
good-for-nothing Indian beggars.
Female Tourist: Oh...
Middle Jamal: And this, lady and gentleman, is the burial place of Mumtaz.
Female Tourist: How did she die?
Middle Jamal: A road traffic accident.
Female Tourist: Really?
Middle Jamal: Maximum pile up.
Male Tourist: I thought she died in childbirth.
Middle Jamal: Exactly, Sir.
She was on the way to hospital when it happened.

Middle Jamal: Honestly. I swear on my mother's soul.
Middle Arvind: What's on this note? Whose picture is it?
Middle Jamal: There's an old man...
he's bald on top with long hair on the sides, like a girl.
Middle Arvind: Benjamin Franklin!
[groping Jamal's face]
So, you're a big guy now, Jamal. I'm happy for you.
Middle Jamal: I'm sorry, Arvind.
Middle Arvind: You got saved, my friend. I wasn't so lucky.
That's the only difference.
Middle Jamal: Arvind, I'm trying to find...
Middle Arvind: You owe Maman.
Stay away, he never forgets.
Middle Jamal: I owe Latika.

Middle Arvind, shouting as Jamal run away: I'll be singing at your funeral.
Maman on his knee, scattering his money on the floor: Take it, go.
Disappear with your... friend, and we'll forget about this, okay?

It's our destiny.

Looks like you're mixed-up with both.
~Police Inspector
Latika, hugs Jamal: Jamal, look at you...

[in the rest room]
Prem: Guy from the slums becomes a millionaire overnight.
Do you know who's the only other person who's done that?
Me...
I know what it feels like.
I know what you've been through.
Jamal, in the toilet: I'm not going to become a millionaire.
I don't know the answer.
Prem: You've said that before, yeah...
Jamal: No, really... this time I don't...
Prem, washing his hand in sink: Come on, you can't take the money and run now.
You're on the edge of history, kid.
Jamal: I don't see what else I can do.
Prem: Maybe it's written, my friend.
Jamal: I don't know...
Prem: I just get some kind of karmic feeling you're going to win this.
Trust me, Jamal, you're going to win.
[Prem leaving the rest room and Jamal got out from the toilet.
While he wash his hand in sink,
he sees "B" written on the mirror]
Prem: So, are you ready for final question?
For 20 million rupees?
Jamal: No. But maybe it's written, no?
Police Inspector: It is bizarrely plausible, and yet...
Jamal: Because I'm a slumdog, a chai wallah... I'm a liar, right?
Police Inspector: Most of you are.
But you are not a liar, Mr. Malik, that's for sure.
You're too truthful.
Did Jamal Malik, an uneducated 18 years-old boy from the slums of Mumbai,
win one crore by fair means or foul play?
In the crown around me, there is an even bigger question,
will he be back tonight to play for another 20 million rupees?
For God's sake, hold on to this [handed the cellphone to Latika]
And for what I've done, please forgive me.
[open the door and let Latika go] Have a good life.
