This is the beginning of him needing to butt up against the expectation of how he behaves.
Everything up until that point in the movie is what's going on with this guy.
As an audience.
But he's kind of like warping the world around him.
The second he's back in his familial home, there's a sense of like the fuck is up with you.
Down to like how calmly he slaps John Turturro.
Yeah, there isn't some ramp up, big explosive, I think you should leave type moment.
He just in a very focused way is like, nope, not doing this.
It's the post-strawberry moment.
It's that here's this guy who had this allergy that almost killed him as a child.
And he just goes like, fuck it.
I'm going to try eating a whole bowl and they taste delicious and he has no problems.
And there is a part of him that thinks maybe I am dead.
This is not real.
But even if it is real, then no rules apply to me anymore.
And there's a sense of, like, testing the boundaries of just, I'm going to do, like, no impulse control whatsoever here.
If this guy's annoying me, I'm going to slap him in the face.
And he needs to do something that extreme for everyone around him to go, like, what the fuck is going on here?
