A couple of clerks from a lawyer's office land up at Jagat Narain's (Kanhaiyyalal) house to inform him of money that he had inherited from his Mausi (Maternal aunt). However, when they see the impoverished intended recipients of a large inheritance, the senior agent whispers to the junior agent:

"tum kya jaano ki kitnaa Khatraa hai ye sab bataane men...

raqam moTi hai aur yeh log chhoTe hain...

meraa matlab hai, bahut Gareeb hain. Achaanak itnaa paisaa mil jaane se maine logon ko marte bhi dekhaa hai, samjhe...hamen ye khabar dheere dheere sunaana chaahiye"

Then he proceeds to gently break the news to Jagat Narain and family. He asks Jagat, what he would do if he got...5000 Rs. Jagat says he would do a couple of things. The lawyer's agent then ups the ante and asks what he would do if he got Rs 10000? Jagat tries to fulfil a couple of more dreams  with the said amount. Then he is asked what he would do if the amount was Rs 15000. By now, Jagat and his family are quite delirious. 

So, when the agent asks

"20000 ke baare mein kyaa Khyaal hai aapkaa?"

Jagat i.e. Kanhaiyyalal says, 

"to bhaiyya, aadha main tumhe de dunga"

The lawyer's agent instantly collapses as soon as he hears the. Obviously he was the one who fell in the category of those 'small people' who collapse when they suddenly come into a lot of money!

The junior legal clerk chastises Kanhaiyyalal and says

"zulm kiyaa aapne, aapko ye Khabar dheere dheere sunaani chaahiye thi!"

"ज़ुल्म किया आपने, आपको ये ख़बर धीरे धीरे सुनानी चाहिए थी!"

Jagat's wife i.e. Leela Mishra asks "lekin sab rupaya hai kitnaa?"

The agent says "ek laakh"

And now the senior agent's prophecy comes true!

Leela Mishra faints!

mausi has left all her money to kanhaiyyalal

Film: Abhimaan

Year of release: 1973

Spoken by: Chandru Kriplani (Asrani)

Spoken to: Subir Kumar (Amitabh Bachchan)

Dialogue writer: Rajinder Singh Bedi

An outstanding film. And the dialogue writer is one of the greatest dialogue writers of Hindi films. This is a scene that just precedes the breakdown of relations between the couple. Subir walks into the drawing room and talks to his secretary Chandru. 

Subir: kyon re chandru, museebat Taali?

Chandru: kaun? income tax vaali?

Subir: Haan.

Chandru: Bhai, returns to file kar diye hain, do chaar certificate nahin mil rahe yaar.

Subir: kyon?

Chandru: vo kehte hain, ki pichhle saal ki raqam, is saal mein Daalein.

Subir: arre ye kaise ho saktaa hai, ye to ek dam safed jhooth hai!

Chandru: Bhai ye kaala baazaar hai, isme.n safed jhooth hii chaltaa hai!

भाई ये काला बाज़ार है, इसमें सफ़ेद झूठ ही चलता है!

Not much has changed in Bollywood since! :)

hotaa kyaa. are gaay ko bachhda hi to hotaa, koi bandar thodi ho jaataa

Film: Daag

Year of release: 1952

Spoken by: Lala Jagat Narayan (Kanhaiyya Lal)

Spoken to: Parvati or Paaro (Nimmi)

Dialogue writer: Rajinder Singh Bedi

Shankar (Dilip Kumar) helps Parvati with the delivery of their cow (when her brother Jagat was away). When Jagat returns he finds Shankar (whom he doesn't like too much) in his house and asks him what he is doing there. As Shankar responds, Jagat's sister Parvati comes to his rescue,

"aur bhaiyya, aaj ye bechara Shankar hamara haath na ba.nTaataa, to na jaane kyaa hotaa"

Jagat quickly assesses the situation and like all smart householders comes up with a statement that ensures that he will not have to pay too much money to the aide (Shankar). A great technique to lower the fees is the lower the value of the service. 

"Hain!...hotaa kyaa? Arre gaay ko bachhDaa hi to hotaa, koi bandar thodi ho jaataa?"

"हैं! ...होता क्या? अरे गाय को बछड़ा ही तो होता, कोई बन्दर थोड़ी हो जाता?"

then he goes on to offer some money to shankar
