The statement was meant to remind Minerva that if she allowed Matthew to make arrangements, they would be able to eat for free tonight.

Unfortunately, Minerva only got more furious and she yelled, “Who are you looking down on, huh? Don’t you know where we’re from? We just came back from living abroad! We’ve seen much better than your puny restaurant and don’t need you to cover our expenses! We didn’t even need to use your pathetic local currency while overseas!”
