Mr. Cole is pressured by his family—his mother has arranged eighteen blind dates in five hours because he's the only heir in nine generations. He balks and refuses the arranged meetings, and an assistant even offers to introduce a well-known lunch-box seller. Before leaving he's handed a drink his mother prepared to take before the dates. Later, a vendor celebrates earning tuition money, then someone shouts "Help me" as Mr. Cole collapses. Bystanders rush in, ask "Are you sick?" and call an ambulance; his condition remains unresolved.
