The story centers around a tense moment in a restaurant where a man approaches another couple, asking the woman for a dance. The woman's husband steps in, warning the man to back off, emphasizing that she is his wife. The man, undeterred, offers a bag of gold as a bribe. This angers the husband, who throws the offer away, and the other man calls him crazy for rejecting it. The situation escalates as the couple gets increasingly frustrated with the man's persistence, particularly when he insults their romantic dinner and tries to buy their favor by offering to pay for their meal. The husband stands firm, telling the man to leave and warning him to keep his distance from his wife.
