At a pre–blind-date meet, a woman’s ancient domestic car with a 'Hongkee' special plate sparks derision from another person who warns Mr. Ted—a business star—will be embarrassed. They argue over what the special plate means, trade insults about the clunker and whether repairs are worth it, and accuse each other of greed. The critic insists the car disqualifies her for the date, then abruptly offers to pay for repairs and, after more bickering, promises to buy her a new car—even two. The woman’s stunned silence leaves the unexpected offer hanging, forcing an immediate choice about the date.
