What's really going on
The scene is the film's neatest reversal, because it puts two liars in the same room and lets each recognise the other. Healy arrives expecting to bully a weak fraud, and instead the man surrenders instantly and turns the accusation around: "I'm a phony. Just like you." No threat works on someone with nothing left to hide, and the impostor's calm destroys Healy's advantage. The comedy deepens as we learn that the fake detective is only a pizza-delivery boy who invented a whole life, and that the only true thing he ever said was the one nobody wanted to hear — that Healy was a fake too. The scene is funny and a little sad, because both men are chasing the same woman under invented names, and only one of them is still pretending.
Theme
DeceptionTwo men who invented new lives confront each other, and the scene ends with both of them exposed as fakes.
IdentityHealy is undone not by violence but by hearing his own lie named aloud, and he has no answer when it is.

I'm a phony. Just like you.The line that turns the scene around: instead of denying the charge, the impostor agrees with it and turns it back on the man making it.
Either you come clean, or I'm gonna kick your fucking ass.The threat that fails: Healy tries to frighten a confession out of the man, but a threat has no power over someone who has already given up.
The only thing I knew was that you were a fake...His admission of how little he invented: he knew nothing about Harvard or the people there, except that Healy's whole story was false.
I'm no architect. Don't be a putz, man.The same truth applied to himself: Healy drops the architect act and makes clear it was all made up.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Healy confront the man?
Because he believes the man has been working for Ted and telling people about him. He wants to find out who sent him and stop the story from spreading.
What does "come clean" mean?
It means to confess and tell the whole truth. Healy uses it as a threat, giving the man a choice between confessing and being beaten.
What is the man's real identity?
He says his real name is Norm and that he delivers pizzas. The detective's life he described was invented, including, it seems, the trip to Chile.
Why does Healy have no reply?
Because the impostor points out that Healy is a fake too. Healy has been pretending to be an architect, so he cannot accuse anyone else of lying.
How does the confrontation end?
It ends without violence. The man gives up and even apologises for his friend, and Healy leaves after paying for the pizza and telling them to keep the change.
