I’m recouperating from major surgery, too fuzzy to read, so lots of TV. This was a scene I remember seeing within the past couple weeks, but I can’t remember the context. Two men in a closet filled with board games, face to face. One adamantly warning the other about something while said other is bemused with all the games, barely listening to the warnings. I get so close, but pouf! The memory flits away. Anybody recognize this?

Yep, Marvin is correct. Found the answer with help from Google and YouTube. Ben Stiller and Gene Hackman.

Yup, that’s it! I remembered that just now, but you guys beat me to it. I knew it was a movie - I should’ve said that. Thanks, guys!
