A scene from Bend It Like Beckham 2002
Jess

Mum, I'm starving. I worked through my lunch hour today.

Mrs. Bhamra

Where's Pinky? She was supposed to pick you up so you wouldn't be late for Poli. Pinky, why didn't you pick your sister up from work, huh?

Pinky

I went but the manager said I'd just missed her.

Mrs. Bhamra

Okay, Poli's on her way. I'll make you girls some tea.

Pinky

[Pinky has taken Jess aside in the living room]

Who is he, then?

Jess

Who?

Pinky

You must think I've got shit for brains, lying about a job and that!

Jess

Don't tell Mum and Dad. I kept Teet a secret for you.

Pinky

He's not a Muslim, is he?

Jess

Ssh! I've been playing football for a women's team.

Pinky

Huh? It's worse than I thought!

Jess

It's a tournament with real matches!

Pinky

What is wrong with you, Jess? At least lie for something good! Don't you want a boyfriend like everyone else? You're quite pretty you know. Do your hair, some make-up, you'd look all right.

Mrs. Bhamra

Leave her alone. I never wore make-up until after I was married. Jessie's a good girl now. She helped me wash all the net curtains and she made lovely aloo Gobi last week.
