Two men crocheting, with text reading "When your friend gives you some tough love"

Kevin: "Wow Ryan, that looks so good!"

Ryan, hesitantly: "You think so?" He has the beginning of a crochet square on his hook.

Kevin: "Yeah!"

Ryan, after a beat: "its not as good as yours..."

The camera pans out to a long crochet chain of the squares Kevin had completed.

Kevin: "Oh, no, don't say that! Yours is really good too!"

Ryan: "Nah"

Kevin: "Ryan, i mean it. Your really good at this."

Ryan: "No, no..." Camera stays on Ryan as Kevin slaps him across the face. "Ow!"

Kevin, with a flat face in an authoritive tone: "Say it." Another slap, "Say your good."

Ryan: "okay! I'm good"

Kevin: "Say you love yourself."

Ryan: "Kevin, I don't need--" Another slap

Kevin: "Say you love yourself, maggot!"

Ryan: "Excuse me?"

Kevin then grabs Ryan by his shirt, throwing him to the ground "Give me twenty!" Ryan makes a noise upon impact with the ground.

Kevin, yelling: "Say you love yourself!"

Ryan, struggling to do push-ups: "I love myself"

Kevin: "Bullshit! Say it again!"

Ryan: "I love myself"

Kevin drags him up and holds him by the back of his shirt collar, the two facing a mirror, "Into the mirror, Private!"

Ryan, with more conviction but still under duress: "I love myself!"

"Pathetic!" He drags Ryan away from the mirror.

Kevin: "Repeat after me, maggot! I am a talented artist!"

Ryan, rushed: "I am a talented artist."

Kevin: "I am a beacon of light"

Ryan: "i am a beacon of light"

Kevin: "i am a sweet Jewish boy with a statuesque figure and a heart of pure fucking gold!"

Ryan, stuttering: "I-- I am..."

Kevin interrupts: "Just say yes!"

Ryan: "Yes!"

Kevin: "Yes what?"

Ryan: "Sir, yes sir!"

Kevin: "At ease!" He practically throws Ryan back into his chair and takes his seat back off-screen. His voice goes back to cajoling, "Good job buddy! Proud of ya!"

Ryan, in disbelief, after a moment of stunned silence: "What just happened?"

Kevin: "Just a little tough love."

Ryan, still shocked: "That was... amazing!"

Kevin: "Glad you feel better about yourself!"

Ryan, with more confidence: "I do! I feel great! You're... really good at that."

Kevin gives a dismissive "ch" and slightly shakes his head. "No, no..." Ryan slaps him.
