Jack Browne is about to meet his girlfriend Lucy's father for the first time, and he's been given some crucial advice: steer clear of controversial topics like basic human rights. Lucy describes her dad as a warm and kind-hearted man, but notes that he doesn't take kindly to discussions about universally accepted dignities.
She suggests Browne sticks to safer topics such as football or movies and warns him to quickly change the subject if anything like the right to healthy working conditions or protections against slavery come up. Lucy recounts how her last boyfriend was banned from Easter brunch for making a comment about fleeing a country if under threat. Apparently, dismissing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as 'woke nonsense' is a good way to win her dad over.
Browne, taking this advice on board, quips that if he needs to abandon his morals to keep the relationship going, he's on board.
