Connect-I-Cut

A pair of longtime pals meet in a downtown Hartford (CT) bar in the summer of 2022. One introduces a newly devised 'word game' to to the other, who appears to already be intoxicated. The female Asian bartender is concerned. The little 'game of letters in tight spaces' continues with plenty of good-natured banter and wry commentary. And then it ends. One wins; one loses. A seething rage re-ignites. Smash!
