You are going to watch part of the film The Million Pound Band Note. Look at these photos and guess what happens in the film.
A man is eating. He seems quite hungry, but also quite happy to be eating such a large meal.
The waiter seems quite angry. Perhaps the man does not have enough money to pay the bill.
Both the waiter and the customer look like they are in a state of shock. The waiter is looking at a piece of paper. Is this the million-pound bank note
The customer is leaving, and everyone is treating him like he is a king. Even though his back is turned to us, he still looks unsure.

Henry orders ham and eggs, a nice big juicy steak with all the trimmings, and a tall tankard of ale — twice. The waiter is surprised that Henry eats so much food.

5. What happens in the end
3. Why does the owner think Henry hesitates to pay the bill

Dub in
After leaving the brothers home, Henry went to a small restaurant. He was about to sit down at a table when the restaurant owner showed him to a different seat because he was dressed poorly and the restaurant owner did not want others to see him. Henry then ordered a large meal. After he was finished, he ordered the same meal again, because he was very hungry. The waiter was surprised and told the restaurant owner. This made the restaurant owner worried that he could not pay the bill. Later, when Henry finished eating, he hesitated to pay the bill. This made the restaurant owner quite angry. Then Henry opened the envelope, expecting to find some money to pay the bill.
Sample Summary

After You Watch
1. People often show favouritism to the wealthy and despise the poor. In part this is because they are looking for some financial advantage for themselves. People also act this way because they suppose that a wealthy person is cleverer and morally better than they are, and assume that a poor person must be not as smart or moral.
2. People need money to live. There is no doubt about that. However there are other things that people need more, especially love and friendship. A poor person might be able to survive. If he has friends and loved ones, but even a wealthy person will have trouble surviving without them.
