A pair of couples are sitting around a coffee table in a living room. One of the men is pointedly looking at his watch. Behind him is a set of cross bars.
It's unusual to see a normal living room behind a set of what appears to be jailhouse bars.
Why are there cross bars instead of a proper door?
Geez, it's twenty-five to life already.

People often lose track of time at social gatherings with friends, which is depicted by the person checking his watch in the living room scene. The time he sees on his watch explains the prison: instead of seeing a usual time like "five", he humorously sees that the criminal sentence "twenty-five to life" has passed.
