All of the restaurant guards were staring at Kira and Theo as they were dining. One of them wouldn’t leave the couple’s table. She insisted they pay before they could eat. Kira got suspicious of this odd rule and prompted Theo to go get his wallet. He headed to the foyer to take it but was stopped by another security guy. Theo explained that he had to get his coat to pay for the meal as he was instructed to do. But the guard wouldn’t let him through: “I don’t know what your coat looks like. What if you steal someone else’s?”. Theo turned angry. He realized that all of these weird policies applied only to him and Kira because they were black.
He walked away to find the manager. Surprisingly, the man apologized and offered them a free dish. The couple calmed down a bit and accepted the offer. But when they finished dinner and got up to leave, the guards surrounded them and demanded a sky-high payment for that free meal. Otherwise, the staff would call the cops and explain to them how Kira and Theo tried to rob the restaurant.

Is there something wrong? You can go now.
I said you can go. Thank you.
What's going on? Can't I eat my food in peace?
You received the order. You need to pay.
Just pay her, okay? Just give her the money. She's not going to
take away our food. This will have some peace.
Fine. My wallet.
It's in your coat. You checked it. I'll go and get it.
Satisfied? Sorry?
What's going on? I need to get my jacket.
I need to get my wallet to pay your bill. I don't know what your jacket looks like.
Maybe you'll steal from others. I'll steal because I'm black, right?
It's possible. Ridiculous!
I need my stuff. I don't care.
I'm fed up with your stereotyping. Sir, where's the manager?
I am right here, sir. What can I do? Explain to me why my partner and I can't
eat our food in peace and go and get our things if your staff are violating our rights.
You're absolutely right, sir. It should never happen in a place like this.
Please let me take over immediately. Just follow me, okay?
Please. Come on, sir.
Please, please. Let me resolve this issue.
Sorry, you are not allowed here. We have a reservation tonight for two.
There are no tables for people like you. Like you? Are you referring to the color
of our skin? I'll find a reservation, okay?
Come on, Barbara. I'm not letting them treat us this way.
We have a situation here.
Check, where is the food? First, you need to prepay.
So why would we prepay? We're in a fine dining restaurant. This is not a fast food joint.
Because we've had incidents with clients like you.
That's enough. Where's the manager?
I'm the manager, sir. Is everything okay? No. Your waitress wants us to prepay because
we're black. Oh, not because you're black.
It's a complete misunderstanding, I'm sure. Really?
Excuse me, ladies. Have you ever had to prepay before you ate here?
No. We come here all the time. We've never been asked to prepay.
Yeah, the whole prepay thing is for new customers. New or old. It's all discrimination
in any case, and it's wrong. You're right. Absolutely, ma'am.
So that's how we get rid of this rule completely. But sir, you always say-
You have to excuse Rachel. Clearly, she was not aware that we changed the rules in this house.
I'm going to talk to her right away. Please enjoy your stay, Rachel. Follow me.
Sir, I don't understand. You yourself said that blacks shouldn't be here.
Yes, I said it, Rachel. I also told you we have to be careful about it.
These blacks, they don't need to have the reason why. You see how arrogant they are?
I don't want to have a public scandal here. I understand, sir. This won't happen again.
Yes, I hope so. And keep an eye on them, okay? No prepay,
no guarantee they're not going to sneak out. Please, do your job.
There's nothing to resolve here. I'm just going to have to go online and
write a very honest and concise review about what's happening here.
Please, let me finish. We're offering you the best meal we have in our menu. Absolutely free.
It's grilled lobster, specialty of our chef. Trust me, you're going to love it. You've never
tried anything so good. And of course, everything you ordered so far is on the house, free of charge.
So, what do you say? Please. Okay. Let's just, come on. Let's just enjoy
our one night out a week, okay? Yes, we will give you another chance, okay?
Tell your waitress to back off a little. Absolutely. Thank you very much. That's great.
This is going to be good. I knew it. You are going to run away without paying for your lunch,
huh? Sorry? The manager said the meal was on the house.
Dude, this is a restaurant, not a charity. Please.
I'm not paying. The manager promised the meal was on the house.
I don't remember saying anything like this, sir. All clients have to pay. I don't see why it would
be any better. And they weren't happy with prepayment. I knew that you just wanted to
run away. Sorry? Don't be sorry. Just pay for the bill so we don't have to call the cops.
Okay. Honey, did you record it? Absolutely. What record? Excuse me, what does it mean?
This means that you are in a lot of trouble. Everything you promised us was viewed by...
500,000 viewers. Say hi. Sir, this is a total misunderstanding. Please, of course,
everything is on the house. I insist. Come on. Keep it. It's a small price to pay for justice.
And need it for the lawyers, too. What lawyers? Well, what did you think?
We were just going to leave it at that? You discriminated against us and probably
other people just like us. Did you really think you could get away with it?
Every act of racism deserves punishment. You can be expecting a court summons from us.
Leave. Let's go. This table is reserved. But the sign wasn't here until we sat down.
Yes, because it happened just now. Actually, you know what? There is a cheap diner place
just around the corner. You can go there. Young man, today is a very important day for us.
It's our anniversary. You know? That's great. That's really great. But I need to make money.
And today is weekend. And this table is for high rollers. What? Could you please call your manager?
Yes, ma'am. I'm already here. Harry, please apologize to our guests.
But... Now? But this table is... I said now.
Excuse me. Louder.
Excuse me. Okay, that sounds different.
Indeed. Please enjoy your meal. Thank you.
So, are you ready to order? First, bring us some menus, please. Right away.
Darling, don't worry. It's okay. I love you so much. It's okay.
Look, I didn't know. Get rid of them or I will get rid of you.
But you just said that... What was I supposed to do?
What? Shout at an elderly couple? Kick them out in front of all those guests here?
Listen to me carefully. Mr. Johnson is coming here tonight with some extra special guests.
He wants that table in particular. Free it up.
But that's always... Mr. Johnson always leaves generous tips. Come up with something.
But don't make a scene.
I remember. Yes, it was so beautiful. It was so great. I remember, yeah.
Your coffee. We didn't order coffee.
What are you doing? Oh, I'm so sorry.
Are you mocking us? Dear, please, don't...
Please, let's turn the volume down a little and relax. Sir, I will sort everything out, all right?
Let's do this. I will serve your table personally while Harry, you, you clean everything up.
How that sounds? All right.
One more thing, sorry, darling. Bring the champagne and pour it into her glass.
I want to propose to her. Propose?
Today marks 50 years together. I want to do it again to remind her how much I love her.
Well, excellent. Wow, sir, that's amazing. Sure, no problem. Let's do everything right.
Thank you. No problem.
Harry, I told you not to make a scene, you fool.
What? Do you want all our customers to know? Our waiters?
Sir, what was I supposed to do? I don't know. Use your brain, perhaps.
I tried. Serve this champagne, but
pour this into the old woman's glass. Understand? Let them do their thing and
they can finally leave. There is not much time left.
Now he'll be proud of me. Your champagne. My love, I drink to you and to our 50 years
together. For us, darling.
What is it? Oh, what is it?
Will you marry me again? Yes, darling, I will.
Something wrong? Waiter!
Yes? Here, there was a diamond.
Diamond? What diamond? Do I look like I have dementia?
Sir, the manager handed me the wedding ring and I put it into the glass as you asked.
Don't lie to me, you little slut! You robbed me!
God, what happened here again? Give me back the diamond of the engagement ring.
Maybe you lost it somewhere. Maybe you dropped it under the floor.
Enough! I will deal with this differently.
I'm afraid your aggressive behavior is not acceptable in this establishment.
What do you mean? One second.
Hey, Jack, I have some rowdy customers here. Your help is needed.
What does that mean? Your behavior is not acceptable
and I must ask you to leave. How do you dare?
Darling, we better go. Good decision.
Well done. We freed the table and made some extra money.
Oh, we do split the cash 50-50, right? Yeah, yeah, of course.
Good. Come. Look, there is no more diamond.
I understand. That doesn't fall out.
Hey! It's here. Somebody...
What happened? Mr. Johnson, you're already here.
Please, don't mind us problematic customers.
However, the table for you and your special guests is ready.
Actually, my special guests are being escorted out by the security.
Mom, Dad, why did you come so early? I booked you a table for 8 o'clock.
I told you that my favorite TV show is on at 8. That's why I came earlier.
So, what happened?
It was a prank. Yeah, a prank.
Shut up! Son,
there are lies and thieves working in your restaurant.
This one stole the diamond from the engagement ring I gave to your mother.
And this one helps him. Is that true?
Come on! The old man keeps lying. This is actually my diamond.
He's not just some old man. He's my father.
And I never want to see you and you in here again.
Mr... Take them.
Mr. Jo... Keep your hands... Mr. Johnson!
Stop! Mom, Dad,
I'm sorry I let this happen in my restaurant. Let me show it to the table.
I'll make sure that your proposal goes well done.
Proposal or not, this is the best day of my life because all of you, my life, are next to me.
What have you done? You want your coins for 100 bucks.
A hundred dollars is better. I want one coin from the fountain.
Can you get it for me? Can I get a hundred dollars for it?
That's what I said. Now, get to the fountain.
Okay. Yay!
Here you go, miss. That's a quarter.
I wanted a dime, you idiot. Why did you do that?
To see his stupid face. I want you to learn the true value of money.
One hundred dollars. That's a manicure cost.
No wonder that someone as crazy as you lives on the streets.
I wish for a new car.
Have fun. Dad, I'm sorry.
Look at you. Look at me. Who are you?
I'll call you back. Who's got a new car? I got it.
What? Daddy, who are you? What are you doing in my yard?
Come on, Daddy. It's me, your beloved daughter, Brittany.
Okay, you're joking. I got it. Oh, you're funny.
Wait, wait, wait. No, you're going to be kidding me right now.
Who the hell are you? I see a homeless girl in my yard.
What are you talking about? Don't you recognize me?
I don't know you. Listen to me.
Listen, listen to me. Please get out of my yard or I will call the cops.
No, no, please, Daddy. I can explain everything.
I was in the park at the fountain and there was a homeless man and he made a wish.
He cursed me. He cursed me.
So now I'm a homeless person. Listen, you are just a crazy girl.
Please get out of here. Get out of my yard now.
Get out of here now. Hey, mister, do you have a coin?
Get out, tramp. Tramp?
You can't talk to me like that. I'm begging.
Right? Look at that. He or she trying to be a human.
I wish my life back.
What's so funny? Look at that.
Who's a homeless? I'm not homeless. Who's a homeless? I'm not homeless.
Who's not homeless? I'm not homeless. Why? Why?
Freaking fountain. Why are you doing this to me?
Why are you messing with me? I hate you.
How do you like it? The way people treat you?
Oh, you. Answer me.
What's going on? Why are you doing this to me?
Give everything back. All questions should be directed
toward the fountain, not me. So what should I do?
Well, return the $100 you threw out. Realize how hard it is for money to come by
and then you'll be who you want to be. They could have gone anywhere.
That is gonna kill me. Ready?
Okay. I'll return the money.
Just wait here. Just making sure you're not trying to
treat me by taking your father's money. It's not father's money.
Yeah, sure. I found this $100 in the street and I came
here for the duct tape to fix the bill. It's $100.
It's your father's $100. Let's see what he thinks about it.
Mister! Wait.
Hello! Do you mind?
You don't even know what he'll do to us. I can't even imagine.
But after that, you definitely don't want to take his money.
Listen, you. What are you doing in my yard?
Gosh. Listen, I told you many times.
The next time, you will be dealing with the security.
Do you understand me? Get out of here.
I said get out. The true value of money.
Okay, I get it. Money is hard to earn.
I shouldn't have to throw it away. I shouldn't have to live off my father.
Give them what you wanted to hear. Wait a minute.
Let's cut it off. I cut it off.
No way. You found another half for me.
But actually, I found this one for me.
Look, it's a love story. You know, I tore up this $100 and
threw it away. So now I really need this.
So give it back, please. I'm Dorothy.
Brittany. I was going to ask you to give that money
to me. Because I have a son and he's sick.
And living on the street without any treatment, he will not survive.
I know. That's terrible.
But I need this money too. You see, I'm not actually homeless.
I believe you. I believe that you need this money very much.
But for me, it's the price of saving my son's life.
Did you find the money? No, I didn't.
So what are you going to do now? I don't know.
I guess I'll be homeless for the rest of my days.
Come on, don't cry. Just look at the water.
Why? Just look.
I'm not sure. You can't fool me a second time.
Do you want to go out? Have I seen you some...
Later!
How? But I didn't bring the money back to the fountain.
How could the magic be gone? Who says it's the fountain that does all
What? Why did you change your mind?
You did a good thing by giving the money to that woman.
You realized that money is valuable not for what you can buy with it,
but for how it can change someone's life. For some people, a hundred dollars is not
even enough to get a manicure. But for someone else, it could save their life.
So don't treat money like a piece of paper. Thank you for that lesson.
Britney.
Yes.
I promise I won't be so foolish anymore. What are you doing here all the time?
What I'm doing here? Hopefully making the world a little better.
Britney! Britney, darling! There you are!
Daddy!
Come here!
Where were you? You disappeared. You didn't answer my calls. What happened?
It's okay. It's okay. I had a great day. Probably the best day of my life.
I want you to meet my new friend, Pierce. Pierce? Pierce!
Listen, listen. You said it was the great day of your life.
And I can make this day even better. I've got a present for you.
Ta-da! Who's got a new car?
My baby's got a new car. Who's got a new car?
My baby's got a new car. This is a present for you.
Aren't you happy?
I'm happy. I'm really happy to have the best daddy in the world.
But maybe we can return this car.
That's why you dreamed about this for such a long time.
Yeah. You know, there are people out there whose life could be changed for a hundred dollars.
Maybe we should use this money to help them.
Maybe we will. Let's go home.
By the way, our daddy came home as well. And we're gonna have a supper too.
