This scene introduces a tense business rivalry between Jason, a manager from a large restaurant chain, and Miss Young, the owner of a family-run noodle shop. Jason is trying to strong-arm Miss Young into selling her beloved restaurant, using insults about the cleanliness of her establishment and the presence of cockroaches as leverage. Despite offering a lowball deal, Miss Young refuses, explaining that the restaurant holds deep sentimental value as it was built by her father and has been a family legacy for generations. Jason threatens further action, introducing Megan Crowell, a health inspector, to potentially shut down the noodle shop, escalating the conflict between the two.
