Golden Turtle Restaurant on Van Ness @ Broadway

"Everyone comes form a disfunctional  family."
"You think?"
"Certainly.  You have a disfunctional family."
"Wow, you don't beat around the bush."
"From what I saw, your father doesn't say anything nice about your Mom.  I bet she spent that entire day preparing dinner for us, and the first thing your father said when we sat down was, Judy, these carrots aren't cooked through.  And she apologized profusely like she committed a crime.  The real crime was you father didn't acknowledge that your Mom put effort into preparing a meal for guests.  She probably allows your father to complain all the time without putting his criticism in check." 
"This is our fifth date, and you're already telling me everything that's wrong with my family?"
"Don't worry, you'll get a chance to meet mine."
