“Family Talk”

Our protagonist’s boyfriend and his parents are dining in their home. The lecture initially begun in “Advice” resumes here, and in greater detail.

To his true annoyance, which at one point peaks with him raising his voice to his mother, his parents once again team up to dissuade him from staying with his girlfriend, by pointing out her perceived weaknesses.

The music is handled in a tongue-and-cheek manner, sequentially pairing two incompatible styles in order to have fun contrasting each parent’s personality.
