Personality
Ed is a very right-wing American & has some personality traits associated with being the single father of 2 kids (even now both are fully grown adults.) Ed only follows his rules (ex. don't sleep on the couch there's a futon in the attic, you called after i specifically told you not to?)

Ed is also strongly American in the facts that he keeps a fully loaded shotgun in the house & he won't use the internet instead reading the daily paper everyday. Ed also reminisces of the "old days" like "a town with prostitutes & easy girls, i'd go back to it in a minute!"

Quotes
"What have i told you about the kitchen table? You don't work at it. Its meant for two things: Eating & Making Love"

"Oh i do consider it, i consider it a "no""

"No You don't like this crap they've been passing off as tomatoes at your supermarket, but these babies i grew with my own hands. Its like eating a child."

"I'm completely off the grid, nobody knows i exist anymore, like the black guy from the "RUSH HOUR" movies"

"Why don't you go back to 1983 & hand me a condom"

"What's with you coming here this late. Another second & i would have decorated my Buick with your Balls."
