Surprise Engagement at The Golden Spoon Ends in Heartfelt Honesty

Good evening, everyone. The Golden Spoon is 10 years old tonight.

We have a very special offer for all our guests here tonight. Any couple who gets engaged tonight will

get a free dinner here. The dinner is $500 to borrow

and it is free of charge. So, is there any couple here tonight who

wants to get engaged? Oh, wow. $500 for free? Did you hear that, honey? Mhm.

That is amazing. I wish we could get engaged again, dear. Congratulations to any couple brave

enough to say yes tonight. Look at that. The man over there is staring at the woman next to him.

Oh, wow, you're right. Are they going to do it? This is so exciting. I cannot wait.

Hey. Did you hear the manager? $500 for free.

Yes, I heard it. But we are strangers. I do not know you at all.

A stranger is someone you do not know. Yes, that is us right now. But what if we pretend?

Pretend means to act like it is real. Pretend? You mean act like we are a couple?

That is crazy. Engaged means a promise to get married. We just have to act.

But I do not know your name. This is a very bad idea, sir. My name is Tom Green.

Now you know me. That was simple, right? I am Sarah Miller. Huh?

Okay, Tom Green. But this is still very crazy. The dinner is free of charge.

Free of charge means no money. No money at all?

For $500 of food? Okay. Fine.

On three, we raise our hands. One,

two. Wait. What do I say?

What are the words? Tell me fast, Tom. We are getting engaged. Congratulations.

Please come to your special table right here. Tonight, your full dinner is completely

free of charge. Enjoy. Thank you. Wow, this food looks amazing. I am so happy tonight.

Yes. I am very happy, too. This steak looks very, very good.

So, I am Tom Green. It is nice to meet you for the first time.

And I am Sarah Miller. Nice to meet you, too, Tom. Finally.

We met at a library, right? That is our story. Yes. A library.

A gym. We met at a gym near my house. That is the story.

Right, the gym and the library. They are in the same building. That makes no sense, Tom. Just smile and

eat your food now. Hello, I am Lisa from Channel 5. Can I ask you some questions?

You two look so happy together. How did the two of you first meet? We are going live on TV in 10 seconds.

Please smile for the camera. Live TV? Right now?

Oh, no, Sarah. What do we say? What do we do?

I do not know. Just smile. Look happy. We can do this. Maybe. We are live.

Hello, everyone. Meet our new engaged couple tonight. So,

tell us everything. How did this beautiful love story begin?

It is a great story. We met at a library. A big library

downtown. No, honey. We met at a gym. A gym near my house.

Every morning, Tom came. Yes. The gym.

I meant the gym. The library is Mhm. next to the gym.

A library next to a gym? That is very unusual. Tell me more. Yes, it is a very special place. Very.

Quiet? And also very loud. We go there every weekend.

Together. Because we love books and exercise. How sweet. And Tom can, when did you

know Sarah was the one for you? I knew it the first day. She was

reading at the gym. Very fast.

That is so right. And I saw Tom lifting very heavy books at the library.

Sarah, tell us, what do you love most about Tom? The world wants to know.

Tom is very generous. Generous means he always gives things to people.

Yes. I am very generous. Sarah can have anything she wants.

Anything. He gave me his heart on our first date. And also his dessert.

Always. That is adorable. Now, when is the wedding? Do you have a

date? June. The wedding is in June. In Paris.

We both love Paris so much. December. The wedding is in December. In Bali.

Tom loves the beach. Right, June in Bali. In December.

Our Bali Paris beach wedding. Yes. A Bali Paris beach wedding?

I have never heard of that before. It is a very new idea. Huh? Very modern.

Tom thought of it just now, actually. Yes. I am very creative. I think of new ideas every day.

Every single day. Amazing. And where will you two live after the wedding?

We will live in a house. A nice house.

With a door. And some windows. He means we have not decided yet. We are

still talking about it. Together. So romantic. You two are the sweetest

couple I have seen all year. Sarah, this is getting worse every minute.

We need a better plan. If they find out the truth, we will have to pay $500.

I know. If we say the wrong thing, we will make it much worse.

If the reporter calls my family, they will come here tonight. If David sees us on TV right now,

he will call me immediately. If your phone rings during this interview,

we will both look crazy. If we tell the truth right now, the manager will understand us.

Maybe. But if we stop now, we will still pay for this dinner.

If we finish the food first and then confess, is that better or worse? It is worse, Tom. Much worse.

Now stop talking and keep smiling. You two are wonderful. I want the whole city to meet you both tonight.

And Tom and Sarah, the city is just dying to know about your family. Do your families know about the

engagement? Are they watching right now? Yes, they know. They are very happy.

Very, very, very happy. So happy. The happiest. All of them. Every single person in his family.

Fantastic. Let us call your family live right now. What a great surprise.

Oh. That is a great idea. But they are probably Mhm? Sleeping. It is late now.

Yes, his family sleeps very early. Very, very early. Every single night.

No problem. We will wake them up, Kai. This news is worth it, I promise. She is calling them.

Right now. Sarah, this is a real disaster.

Do not move. Do not change your face. Just keep smiling, Tom.

My brother David will see this. He will come here. Tonight, Sarah.

Then we smile at David, too. We smile at everyone. We just smile.

Look. Uncle Tom is on the TV right now. He is with a woman. What? Tom on TV?

Give me the remote. Let me see that right now. David,

I can see your brother Tom on the television. Come look. Uncle Tom is sitting at a big table.

A woman is smiling at him. Are they a couple? They look like a couple. Dad, are they a

couple? Tom is not in a couple. He is a bachelor.

Tom is always a bachelor. What is a bachelor, Dad? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

A bachelor is a man who is not married and lives alone. David, look.

The reporter is standing next to Tom and that woman. The reporter says Tom and the woman are

getting engaged. Engaged? Tom? On live TV? I am shocked. I am completely shocked

right now. Shocked means very surprised, right, Dad? Like your face right now?

Yes, Anna, that is exactly what shocked looks like. David, close your mouth.

Huh? I cannot believe this. My brother Tom is getting engaged on live TV.

Dad, look. Uncle Tom is sweating. He is sweating a lot right now. And the woman is eating his steak.

She is taking food from his plate. She is smiling at the camera. Tom is smiling, too. Both are smiling.

Something is wrong. I know that smile. That is not Tom's real smile. What do you mean?

He looks happy. He is sitting with a beautiful woman. Tom always calls us first. He tells us

everything first. Always, David. Ah.

Now the reporter is holding up her phone. She is calling someone on it. She is saying Tom's family. The reporter

is saying Tom's family on TV. I am calling your family live right now. Is everyone at home watching?

Ha. Yes. Great idea. Call them. They love surprises. Tom,

stop saying yes. Please stop saying yes to everything. I do not know what to say.

What do I do? Help me right now. Tell me your brother's full name. I only

know the name David. David Johnson. He lives very close to here.

That is the problem. No answer yet. Do not worry, Dad. We will find your family tonight.

If David sees this on TV right now, he will come here fast. I know.

And if he comes here, everything will end very badly. While I try again, Sarah, tell me, how

did Tom propose to you? It was so romantic. He got down on one knee.

In the gym. By the books. Yes.

I said, "Sarah, I love you more than all the books in

this gym." Stop adding details, Tom. Every new detail makes it worse.

I know. But she keeps asking. I cannot stop the words coming out.

Still no answer. But I found a number, Todd. A David Johnson.

Is that family? No. That is a different David Johnson. There are many David Johnsons. Many.

Mhm. Yes, many David Johnsons. Very common name.

How interesting. I will try this David Johnson first. Just to be sure.

Excuse me. We just want to say congratulations from our table.

We have been married 50 years. Love is the most beautiful thing. We were strangers once, too.

Two strangers at a restaurant. Just like you. The brave ones are honest.

Brave means having no fear of the truth. Thank you. You are very kind. That really means a lot.

To both of us. David, I do not think this engagement is real.

Something feels very wrong. What? He is on TV. He is smiling. He is getting engaged. It is real, Emily.

Tom always calls us first. Always. Before anything big, Pai, he calls you first.

You are right. He always calls me. Always. Something is very wrong here.

Can we go to the restaurant? I want to see Uncle Tom right now tonight. Yes. We are going right now. Anna,

Peter, Fang, get your coats. Move quickly. I will drive.

10 minutes. Tom, Sam, I am coming. I do not know why, but I am.

She said David Johnson. How does she have it? You said his name, Tom.

You said David 10 minutes ago. Remember? Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. This is very bad. This is so bad. It is ringing. David Johnson is

answering. Hello? Hello, David. Yes.

Uh Please wait. Please do not. Please. Just

Excuse me again. We have a small gift for you and your table.

We brought this for our own anniversary. But please you take it. Oh, thank you so much. You really did

not have to do this. Thank you. It is beautiful. I do not know what to say.

This is very kind of you. We were strangers too 50 years ago. In a restaurant like this one.

He did not know my name. I did not know his name. But we were honest.

Honesty was our beginning. Everything good started with one true thing.

I feel guilty. Guilty means feeling bad because you did something wrong.

Guilty? Yes, I think I feel that too. Right now.

Actually a lot. Guilty means your heart is still good. Only good people feel guilty.

Open the gift later. When you are ready to be honest. You will know when.

Tom. I do not want to pretend anymore. This does not feel right.

I know. Me too. But I do not know how to stop it now,

Sarah. Congratulations, dear ones. We hope your love is long and very true.

If we tell the truth now, the manager will understand. If we say sorry now, the manager will

not make us pay. I think. But if we confess on live TV, it will be

very embarrassing for us. If we do not say anything, it will get worse every single minute.

If Mr. Lovejoy finds out we are strangers, it will break his heart.

If we are honest, at least we will feel better. Right now I do not.

If we both say sorry together, it will be easier for both of us.

If I say it first, will you say it with me? At the same time?

Yes. If you start, I will be right there. I promise.

A real promise. Okay. Not yet.

But soon. When the moment comes, Ben, we go together.

Wonderful news. Our live stream has 50,000 viewers right now.

50,000 people are watching you two right now. How does that feel?

50,000? That is That is a very large number. Very large.

Yes. Hello to all 50,000 people. We are very happy tonight.

Very happy. This is the most exciting night in 10 years of the Golden Spoon. Thank you.

The viewers want to know, Han, Tom, what will you say at your wedding speech?

At my wedding speech I will say that honesty is the most important thing.

Yes, honesty. Honesty means always telling the truth. Even when it is hard.

Beautiful. Oh, my phone. Someone named David Johnson is calling back.

Wait, Tide. Please do not Tide. Can we died? Just one moment, Tide.

Please just wait, Tide. Tom. This is the moment.

The one I told you about. Right now. Together.

Sarah. Look at the door. Do not look fast.

Look slow. Right now. What?

Why? What is at the door, Tom? Tell me what you see there.

Excuse me. Sorry. Coming through. This is very important,

Tide. Excuse me, please. Uncle Tom! Uncle Tom! We are here. We came.

Is the food really free here? I can see him. Who? Uncle Tom is at the center table. Over there?

And he looks very scared. Tom, brother. Where are you?

I saw you on TV. I am so happy for you, Tom. And David Johnson is here in the

restaurant. 60,000 viewers watching. Tom! Brother!

I am so happy. Why did you not call me? Why, Tom? Why? David. Hi. You are here. You came. I see

you. Hi. Yes, you are really here. Tom. We saw you on the television.

We all ran here as fast as we could. Uncle Tom. Is this food free? Can I have the

lobster? Is there more bread? Uncle Tom does not look happy.

He looks like Dad looks when he is in trouble. Tom Kellen, introduce us. Who is this

woman? Tell us everything right now, brother. Hello. I am Sarah Miller. It is very

nice to meet Tom's family tonight. Sarah, we are so happy to meet you. Tom never talks about anyone ever.

Tom. How long have you known Sarah? Tell me everything from the beginning.

David. Emily. Everyone.

Please sit down. I need to tell you all something true. Stop.

Please stop recording. I need to turn this microphone off right now. Sir, we are live. 60,000 people are

watching. You cannot just Oh! I am sorry. But I have to be honest now.

This is more important than the camera. David Found. Sarah and I are not a couple.

We are strangers. We met tonight. We heard the manager's offer and we pretended.

We wanted the free dinner. It was wrong. We were not honest.

We are very sorry, David Hass. To everyone here. That word, Todd. Brave Todd. The kind

man said it earlier. I understand it now. Honesty.

We should have started with honesty. I am sorry, David. I am sorry.

You pretended on live TV

in front of 60,000 people to get free food. Yes.

That is exactly what happened. We are very sorry. We will pay for everything.

Please wait. Ms. Miller. Please put your card away. I will not take it.

Tonight was about love and honesty, Mally. Honesty is also a kind of love.

You were brave enough to stop. That took more courage than the pretending.

Brave. That is the word. You opened the gift, young lady. Well done.

50 years ago my husband told me one true thing and I never left.

The dinner is free of charge tonight for honesty. Welcome to the Golden Spoon.

So Sarah is not our new auntie? She is still a stranger. She is not a stranger anymore, Anna.

She told us the truth. That changes things. Today we learned that honesty is always

better than a free dinner. Always. But the dinner is still free, right?

Because the manager said free of charge. Yes, Peter. The food is free of charge tonight.

I was a bachelor this morning. Now I have dinner with five new people. Good night. Bachelor means a man who is

not married and eats alone. Right, Uncle Tom? Anna,

eat your food. I felt very guilty tonight. But now I feel something different.

Something better. Guilty means feeling bad because you did something wrong.

Am I correct, Sarah? Sarah, I do not have your number. Can I have it?

Yes. A real number. My real name is Sarah Miller.

It was always Sarah Miller. Tonight we learned eight important words.

Let us look at them one more time. Stranger, pretend,

free of charge, generous. These four came in the first half.

Bachelor, shocked, guilty, brave, honesty. These five finished the story tonight.

Eight words, one story. All of them real words for real life.

Remember them. Grammar one, if plus present simple, will plus verb.

Tom used it tonight. Tom said, "If they find out the truth, we will

have to pay $500." Grammar two, present continuous.

Anna used it. She said, "Tom is sweating." Is sweating,

is smiling, is eating his steak. All present continuous.

All Anna. My question for you tonight, have you ever pretended to get something

free? Write your answer below this video. I want to read every single one.

Everyone. Next time, the Johnson family gets a very unexpected guest at their front

door. Subscribe so you do not miss it. Good night. And always be honest. Always.
