A scene from Bend It Like Beckham 2002
Jules

When are you going to tell your parents about your game?

Jess

I don't know.

Jules

You can't keep lying. You're too good.

Mrs. Paxton

Cooey!

Jules

Hide the shoes!

Mrs. Paxton

Sweetheart!

Jules

Up here, Mum.

Mrs. Paxton

Oh, it's hot out there! Oh! Got company! Hello, love.

Jules

Mum, this is Jess.

Mrs. Paxton

Jess? Is that Indian?

Jess

It's really Jesminder, but only my mum calls me that.

Mrs. Paxton

Oh, that's nice. Jesmin-dah. Lovely! Well, Jesmin-dah, I bet your room at home doesn't look like this! Great big butch women on the wall!

Jules

Thank you, Mum, I'm not old like you!

Mrs. Paxton

Jess, I hope you can teach my daughter a bit about your culture, including respect for elders and the like, eh? Cheeky madam! Well, Jess... I expect your parents are fixing you up with a handsome young doctor soon. Pretty girl like you...

Jules

Mum! Stop embarrassing yourself!

Mrs. Paxton

What? Just being friendly! You don't mind, do you, love? Of course not! Now, are you a friend from school or work?

Jules

She's a footballer. She's on the team with me.
