00:00Mm-hmm.
00:03Perfect.
00:12Well, hello!
00:14Welcome to Bella Vista.
00:16I'm Lindsay, the restaurant manager,
00:18and you two are actually my first customers of the day.
00:21Thank you so much.
00:22I've heard nothing but wonderful things about this place.
00:24I've been dying to try it.
00:26The reviews online are incredible.
00:27Well, that is so kind of you to say.
00:30You know, I have to tell you,
00:32I'm really proud of what we've built here.
00:34Being a woman in the restaurant business,
00:36especially as a manager, it's not easy.
00:38That's wonderful. Congratulations on your success.
00:41Yes, it's really inspiring.
00:42It takes a lot of hard work and dedication.
00:44Thank you both so much.
00:46I really appreciate that.
00:48Well, we're certainly in for a treat then.
00:50You absolutely are.
00:52Our chef is incredible.
00:54Perfect. I can't wait.
00:56Well, shall I walk you and your daughter to the table?
01:01Actually, Carly isn't my daughter.
01:04We're a couple.
01:07Is there...
01:09Is there a problem?
01:12Well, um...
01:13It's just that I'm...
01:16Not really used to seeing this in my restaurant.
01:20Seeing what exactly?
01:22Does this have something to do with our age difference?
01:25I mean, you just look so much older than her.
01:30And not just a bit older, but like 20 years older.
01:34Um, that's true.
01:36We are more than 20 years apart,
01:37but that shouldn't be a problem when two people genuinely love each other.
01:43I think you should be more open-minded a little bit, Lindsay.
01:47You know what?
01:49Whatever.
01:50You're right.
01:52Please, go ahead and take whatever seat you prefer,
01:54and your server will be right with you.
01:56All right.
01:57We'll give your restaurant a chance,
01:59even though you've been quite disrespectful to us.
02:02Um, yes.
02:03We'll stay.
02:05Great.
02:16Have you decided what you're having today, sir?
02:19Not yet.
02:21Well, the menu is right in front of you.
02:23Or do you need your glasses?
02:26What about you, young lady?
02:27Have you decided?
02:30Um...
02:30No.
02:31Do you have anything you'd recommend?
02:33We have the kids' meal, if you'd like.
02:36It's spaghetti and chicken nuggets.
02:38All right.
02:39So you do have a problem with our age difference.
02:42It's obvious.
02:43What's the matter with you?
02:45We just want to have a nice meal together,
02:47and you keep bothering us with these comments.
02:50This is supposed to be a very special night,
02:52and you're doing everything you can to ruin it.
02:55Listen, I've worked in the restaurant industry for years,
02:59and I've seen many couples like you two.
03:02And let me tell you something.
03:04This is not natural.
03:07How can you say that?
03:08You don't even know anything about us.
03:11I want you to explain yourself.
03:13What exactly do you make in that?
03:15Couples like you are not real.
03:19It's always a much younger woman or a much younger man
03:22who's with an older person because of their money.
03:26It's that simple.
03:27Are you calling me a gold digger?
03:30Well, if that's what you want to call it, then yes.
03:33Wow.
03:34I cannot believe this is happening.
03:37But it's true.
03:38Come on.
03:39Look at you two.
03:41How can you possibly love each other for real?
03:44I mean, I get why he wants a younger woman,
03:46but why would you, a young, beautiful girl,
03:51want to be with an old guy?
03:52It's honestly disgusting.
03:54This is incredibly insulting.
03:57I love George very much.
03:59I think he's a beautiful man,
04:00and it shouldn't matter when two people care about each other.
04:04I can't believe we have to go through this.
04:06I'm very disappointed because I've only heard good things
04:09about this restaurant and the management,
04:11but clearly the people who recommended it were wrong.
04:15You both are being so dramatic.
04:19Let me ask you an honest question.
04:21Would you be dating him if he didn't have money?
04:24Of course I would,
04:26because not everything in life is about money.
04:28And if you must know, I have my own money.
04:31I don't need a sugar daddy.
04:33That's right.
04:33I'm a successful entrepreneur,
04:35and I actually met Carly when she was one of my clients.
04:40She doesn't need my money.
04:42Right. Sure.
04:45That's what they all say.
04:46Look, I've seen this story a hundred times.
04:50Young woman, older man with money.
04:52It's a tale as old as time.
04:54You don't know what you're talking about.
04:55Don't I?
04:56Let me guess.
04:57He spoils you, buys you nice things,
05:00takes you to fancy places,
05:01and in return, you make him feel young again.
05:04It's a transaction.
05:06You're way out of line here.
05:09Am I?
05:09Or am I just saying what everyone else is thinking?
05:12You think people don't stare
05:14when you're walking down the street together?
05:16You think they don't whisper?
05:18I don't care what other people think.
05:20Well, you should,
05:21because it's embarrassing for both of you.
05:24Him for being desperate to recapture his youth,
05:27and you being so obvious at what you're after.
05:31That's enough.
05:33You need to stop this right now.
05:36Or what?
05:36You'll complain to the manager.
05:38Newsflash!
05:39I'm the manager!
05:40And you're a terrible one.
05:42Okay?
05:42This is the worst service I've ever experienced.
05:45Whatever.
05:46Good for you.
05:48But I still think what you're doing is wrong.
05:51Or maybe he's only with you
05:54because he wants someone young to take care of him
05:57when he gets old and starts dying.
05:59Not every relationship is transactional.
06:03Believe it or not,
06:04some people get together
06:06because they genuinely love each other.
06:09Yeah, right.
06:10You know what?
06:11She's made me realize something.
06:14Carly,
06:15I was actually planning to propose to you here tonight,
06:18but this woman has made it impossible.
06:22What?
06:24I can't believe this.
06:26Well,
06:27I'm actually so glad you're not doing it here.
06:29You know what?
06:30Ashley,
06:31you made me want to propose here even more
06:34just so I can show you how real our love is.
06:40Carly,
06:42will you do me the honor
06:44and make me the happiest man on this earth?
06:47Will you marry me?
06:50Yes,
06:51of course.
06:51Yes.
06:53There's something else you should know.
06:55What?
06:56Something worse than this?
06:57I'm an investor.
06:59I make my living buying properties and businesses.
07:02And I actually bought this restaurant
07:04because I've loved coming here for years.
07:07And I invested with him.
07:09With my own money.
07:11We're going to be running it together.
07:13You mean you're both going to be my boss?
07:20No,
07:20we're not going to be your bosses.
07:23Because you're fired.
07:25You can't do this to me.
07:27This restaurant has no place for prejudice and discrimination.
07:31We're going to change everything about it
07:33and make it more welcoming and inclusive for everyone.
07:36You'll regret this decision.
07:37I know this business inside and out
07:39and you'll never find anyone who cares about this place
07:42like I do.
07:43Maybe not.
07:44But we'll find someone who cares about people
07:46the way they should be cared for.
07:48This is ridiculous.
07:49You're going to regret this.
07:50The only thing we regret is that other couples
07:53have probably had to endure your judgement before tonight.
07:56You...
07:57You haven't heard the last of me.
08:02Well, that wasn't exactly how I imagined getting engaged.
08:05Maybe not.
08:06But it was perfect in its own way.
08:08We stood up for our love and now
08:10we get to build something beautiful together.
08:13I love you, George.
08:15I love you too, Carly.
08:16And I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
08:18I love you too.
08:20I love you too.
08:25But you have a friend, somebody who cares about it.
