A month after the cabinet formation, it is business as usual. They discuss an "income tax matter" for a client who has told them "We are in a fight. Hum logo ke survival ka sawaal hai". Her client was unhappy that Radia & Co had not briefed journalists well. After all, she says "aisa to nahin…ki Raja ne samjahaya nahin hoga income tax ka implication." What was the "implication"?

Manoj: Hello
Radia: Manoj, we will have to get on a conference call in a few minutes. I am setting up the number

Radia: So we will have to get up on a call.

Radia: Uske income tax pe koi coverage nahin aaya tha? Humne brief bhi nahin kiya tha? (Wasn't there any coverage on their income tax? We didn't brief?)
Manoj: No

Manoj: Nahin, woh yeh ho gaya na.. approve ho gaya na.. (No, It got approved.)
Radia: Approve nahin hua Manoj (It didn't get approved Manoj).. he is pretty mad about that..

Manoj: What?
Radia: I mean, his view is ki tum logon ko samajhne layak hona chahiye, phir uske baad journalists ko tumko samjhane layak hona chahiye (you guys should know, and then you should be able to explain to the journalists)... okay.. you know.. we are in a fight. Hamare survival ka sawal hai. Aur tum log isko bahut lightly le rahe ho (It's about our survival. And you'll are taking this very lightly).

Radia: And his view was jo bhi hai Raja ne samjhaya hoga...aisa toh nahin hai ki Raja ne nahin samjhaya hoga, income tax ke implications kya honge... (It's not like Raja must not have explained it to you, the implications of income tax.) Kal Ramchandran ka phone bhi gaya tum logo ke paas. (Yesterday Ramchandran even called you).

Niira: Ab tumhe - (Now you - )
