A scene from Bend It Like Beckham 2002

[Jess walks into house with family sitting in living room looking offended at Jess]

Teetu's father: We're not trying to cause trouble. We felt it our duty to tell you.

Mr. Bhamra

You know how hard it is for our children here. Sometimes they misjudge and start behaving like the kids here.
Teetu's mother: All I know is that children are a map of their parents.

Pinky

You stupid flippin' cow!

Mrs. Bhamra

You've ruined your sister's life! Happy now?

Pinky

The wedding's off 'cause of you!

Jess

Me? Why?

Mrs. Bhamra

They saw you being filthy with an English boy!

Jess

I wasn't with any English boy!

Pinky

They saw you at a bus stop kissing him! Why couldn't you do it in secret like everyone else?

Jess

Kissing? Me? A boy?! You're all bloody mad!

Mr. Bhamra

Jesminder, don't you use those swearing words!

Jess

I was at the 120 bus stop today but with Juliet. My friend. She's a girl, and we weren't kissing or anything for God's sake!

Mr. Bhamra

[Points to painting on living room wall]

Do you swear on Babaji's name?

Jess

I swear on Babaji's name.

Mrs. Bhamra

Sometimes these English girls have such short hair... You just can't tell.

Mr. Bhamra

They must have made a mistake.

Mrs. Bhamra

His parents are just making an excuse. We were never good enough for them.

Pinky

No, I bet she was with some dykey girl from her football team! She's still been playing you know! She ain't got no job! She's been lying!

Mrs. Bhamra

Why have I two deceiving daughters? What did I do wrong in my past life?

Pinky

But she's ruined my life!

Mrs. Bhamra

Don't think I didn't knew you were sneaking out with that good-for-nothing Teetu as well!
