Dave is misogynistic, racist, brutally violent, egotistical and a womanizer, although he defends himself against many of these accusations as he says that his hate is equal opportunity.

Dave still maintains a sexual relationship with both sisters - whenever the mood suits any of them - while he openly has other sexual relationships.

Is this a new TV show?

No. I'm trying to make it up.

It sounds like it. The

ghosts are depressed?

No. I was thinking about

maybe making it

a graphic novel or something.

You could do that.

- Suicidal ghosts.

- I would like to see that.

They want out. So these people,

who I think are actually...

Barbara, where's the olives?

There's no olives.

I'm sorry. I don't know.

I think we're out, I'll look,

but I think we're out.

They're complete barbarians.

And they have just as many

problems as we do.

Why do you let her put

that on the wall?

Helen's poster?

Yeah, that little collage.

It's amazing. She's been

working hard on it.

She's worked on that thing

for three weeks.

- It's amazing, is

it? It is amazing.

- It's quite something.

I think it should be in a museum.

That's what I think.

Don't you tell your mother

you learned that from me.

Here, give me your plate, Marg.

And that's not okay

if that's a bowl.

May I sleep with you tonight?

I have sketching to do. Please.

So that's not a no, is it?

That would be a very

nice way to say no.

What about a nice way to say yes?

What about after your sketching?

No, no...

I'm gonna be up all night.

Aunt Bee, is there

any more broccoli?

Are you asking for more vegetables?

Only broccoli because I

like eating the stems.

Helen, I'm curious about

that artwork you have...

on the wall there.

- What is it?

- What kind of a mother are you?

- She's a broccoli hoarder.

- What does it mean?

What does it mean...

Yeah, what does that

mean? That collage?

It's these little bits of paper,

and you cut them out

and you glue them together

and make another picture.

Okay, so you have a

man's head and...

a woman's heel digging

into his head and

stepping on his mouth and...

- It's art, Dave. It's art.

- We can be grateful

that he noticed.

...a naked woman with the blood

flowing from her vagina.

Alright. Okay.

- You have the C word prominently

displayed.

- Alright.

You have eyes. That's great.

What's the problem?

What is the problem?

What is the problem?

- Oh, let it be, would you?

- Margaret?

Do you like her collage?

I'll ask it. What is it?

It just needs more color.

More color.

Like rainbows.

Honey, how's your spaghetti?

- Pretty good.

- Yeah?

That's good.

How is yours?

It's very good, thank you.

You should try some.

Oh, I'm fine, thank you.

Do you want to cuddle later?

I have a boyfriend.

Cheat on him.

Like you cheat on your taxes?

I don't cheat on my taxes.

Okay? You can't cheat on something

you never committed to.

How do you know how much you

pay for taxes anyway?

I think I'm gonna go take a

walk, look for some olives.

Come on. Would you sit and
