THEY CALLED US POOR AND KICKED US OUT — THEN MY SON BOUGHT THE ENTIRE HOTEL
THEY CALLED US POOR AND KICKED US OUT — THEN MY SON BOUGHT THE ENTIRE HOTEL
Dad, tonight we’re having dinner somewhere nice. >> As long as we’re together, son, anywhere is nice. Are you sure this place isn’t too expensive? >> Don’t worry, Dad. We’ll just have dinner and go home. >> Excuse me. Where do you think you’re going? >> We’re here for dinner. >> This is a luxury hotel.
It’s not a place for poor people. >> Son. Son. >> We’re not asking for anything free. We’re here to pay for our food, just like everyone else. Look around. People are coming in and leaving all the time. Why are you stopping us? >> There are no tables available. >> Then we’ll wait. >> You don’t understand. You’re not getting inside.
>> Come on, son. Let’s go. It’s okay. We can eat somewhere else. >> No, Dad. >> Why? >> Because we shouldn’t have to leave just because someone thinks we’re poor. We deserve the same respect as anyone else. >> I’m telling you to leave. >> I’m telling you to leave. >> What’s going on? >> Security won’t let them in.
Security won’t let them in. >> Son, please. I don’t want trouble. I don’t want trouble. >> You’re not the one who should be ashamed, Dad. People should be ashamed of judging someone by their clothes. >> What’s the problem here? >> They refuse to leave. >> Sir, you need to leave the property. >> We only want dinner.
>> Not here. >> Maybe they thought this was a cheap diner. >> Look at their clothes. >> Son, let’s just go. >> Dad, just give me 1 minute. >> This is your final warning. Leave now or I’ll have security remove remove you. >> Okay. >> Good. Now go. >> Mr. Anderson, I need you here immediately. Bring the acquisition documents.
>> Acquisition documents? >> Who exactly do you think you are? >> Son, what are you doing? >> You’ll understand soon, Dad. Mr. Carter, I’m sorry we’re late. >> You’re right on time. >> Mr. >> Yes? >> Do you know who you’re speaking to? This property is currently under acquisition. >> Acquisition? >> By his company.
>> Wait, he owns a company? Are you serious? >> You You’re the buyer? >> Not the buyer. The new owner. >> You bought this hotel? >> I did, Dad. We didn’t come here because we needed your food. We came here to see how you treat people who look like they have nothing. >> Sir, I’m sorry. I didn’t know. >> That’s exactly the problem.
>> Please, give me another chance. >> You had a chance when my father stood at that door. My father taught me something. A person’s clothes never determine their worth. Every person deserves dignity, whether they arrive in a luxury car or walk through the door. Effective immediately, every employee involved in humiliating my father is terminated.
>> Please. >> Respect should never depend on someone’s bank account. You judged us by our appearance. Now you’ll live with the consequences of that judgment. I never wanted you to buy a hotel because of me. I didn’t buy it because of you because of you. I bought it because nobody should ever make you feel worthless.
I’m proud of you, son. Dad, now we can finally have dinner. You know what? What? I’d still rather have dinner with you anywhere else. Money can buy a building, but it can’t buy class, kindness, or respect. Never judge someone’s worth by their clothes. May hold your tomorrow.
