Act 1, Scene 2

Yati: Since how long you smoke?

Radha: Since the pain started. Even before I came here. I need it. My body needs it [she giggles].

Yati: But it is wrong.

Radha: Who says?

Yati: It’s illegal.

Radha: Illegal doesn’t mean wrong… just illegal.

Yati: But this is Singapore! [slight pause] Can I have a puff?
