They realize it's colored cold drink the second they open it. They go back to complain. Mickey and Chintu chase them through the mall's service alley. Kabs slips on a puddle of gutter water. Roh, instead of running, comes back, helps him up, and they both escape—losing one shoe each.
Then, Roh does the unthinkable. He walks to the center of the room, takes the bottle, and says loud enough for everyone: "It's fake. We got cheated by two idiots in a van. We spent all our money. We have no idea how to be cool. But Kabir is the only person who stayed up with me for three nights when my dad lost his job. So if you want to laugh, laugh at me."

They clink the beer bottle. The sun comes up. And for the first time, neither of them feels like they need to be anyone else.
Kabs and Roh sit on the roof of Roh's building at 4 AM, sharing a single real beer they found in the host's fridge. No girls. No coolness. Just them. Kabs slips on a puddle of gutter water

Kabs panics. "We can't show up empty-handed. We'll look like babies." Roh: "So bring chips." Kabs: "Chips? CHIPS? We need weapon —a bottle of Blue Label. Or at least something that looks like Blue Label."
