He had seen too many extraordinary people on "Paradise Island," and no matter where these cards came from, they proved that the mysterious young man in front of him was no ordinary person.
There's no need to offend someone whose background you don't know.
Unfortunately, the waiter didn't see through his good intentions and persisted, saying, "You! Show me the cards you just played! You must have stolen them! You're just a vagrant..."
