A VERY GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME.

The setup

A restaurant diner insists he can look after himself, but his companion keeps fussing over him.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Two men settle in for dinner, where small suggestions about food and manners become a fierce argument about independence. One diner rejects every attempt to help him, then alternates between swagger and a mounting tantrum as his companion tries to keep the peace. A final explanation of their family relationship gives the increasingly parental treatment a different meaning.

You treat me like a baby, but I'm not a baby.
