XXXX: Don't blame the gun for your failure.
(Sana turns around)
Sana: Uncle?!
Anurag: What's up "Pressure Cooker"?
Sana: Can you stop calling me that?! It's been 8 years since that happened!!
Anurag: Why it's such a cute name, is it not? It's accurate too. I remember when you lost a game against me you were so angry that you broke the remote control and your whole face turned red with anger and because you had a broken tooth whenever you took a breath it sounded like a whistle.
Sana: Stop remembering those things!!
Sana: Wait how did you know I was here?
Anurag: I went to your house but you weren't there and when your mom informed me of what happened. I instantly knew where you would be.
Sana: I see.
Sana: What is in that bag.
Anurag: It's something you would love to see.
Sana: What do you mean uncle?!
(Anurag removes a box from the bag)
Anurag: Are you, ready kid!!
Sana: Come on just open it already uncle.
(Anurag opens the box)
Sana: Isn't this...
Anurag: Exactly!!
Sana: This is your old desert eagle totally with a custom skin. It's beautiful. Can I give it a try uncle?
Anurag: Sure! Just be careful the kickback is a bit strong on that one!
Sana: Got it!
Sana: Pull!
(The target flies out)
(Sana pulls the trigger)
Sound Fx: DDhhooooossshhh!!!!
(Sana hits the target)
Sana (Thinking): This gun is really powerful. Uncle wasn't kidding my hand feels a bit numb.
Anurag: Whistles!
Anurag: Well that was powerful.
Sana: You're right!
(Anurag takes the gun from Sana's hand)
Anurag: Well thanks for testing it!
Sana: What?!
Sana: Did you use me to test that gun. Are you being serious!!
Anurag: Yeah! Bye then.
Sana: What why are you leaving?!
Anurag: I've some urgent work to do.
(Anurag leaves with his bike)
Sana: That stupid old man!!!! I will be him for this next time.
