Grown-Ass Man
The setup
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.
