The Loin Returns #4
"The calm before the storm: the Obligatory Prologue (contd.)"

LOIN: Enough of this masti-making. It's our fourth issue today, and we haven't even started on our prologue yet!
LOIN: Let me see, shall we do this flashback Hollywood style or Bollywood style? Or perhaps you'd prefer my Tollywood style...
PETER: You have a Tollywood style, too?!!
RAJINIKANTH: We don't like you calling our filim industry Tollywood...!
LOIN: Rajini?!! What are you doing in my comic-strip?
RAJINIKANTH: Our filim industry has neither Tolly nor Wood.
PETER: Oh, man! No Tolly...?
ROBERT: And no Wood...?
TONY: What's a Tolly?
MICHAEL: A Tamil Holly?
LOIN: Rajini, you need a haircut!!

LOIN: Saas?
TONY: Saas nahi, baas! Maggi hot and sweet tamatar baingan...
LOIN: Shut up! Bewakoof!! Tony - I'm not Javed - I'm Loin. If you ever bring up saas again...
LOIN: ...I will make you watch weepies and chick-flicks on Star Plus till you beg for mercy and cry boo-hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo...
BAHU: Kyunki saas bhi kabhi boo-hoo thee?
LOIN: That's right! Smaaart girl.

LOIN: Saara shehar mujhe Loin ke naam se jaanta hai!
LOIN: ...
LOIN: ...
LOIN: Ahem! I was just pausing for effect like the Axe Effect, you know?!

LOIN: Sorry for that blatant plug in our very first issue. It's a shame. Call me commercialized. But then, so is Bollywood these days. What a pain...
MICHAEL: Oh, so it shames you?!
PETER: And it pains you?!!
LOIN: Yes, Maikal! Yes, Peter! But in the good old days... there was no shame... there was no pain...
LOIN: There was only champagne [pronounced sham-pain]
