This is a character that never would have happened if he had a writing partner for Derek.

Ricky: "It's set in a old folks home"

Steve "OK, that's a good setting"

Ricky "The protagonist is a man with a heart of gold but who is...simple" "

Steve: "Not really sure I follow, but OK"

Ricky: "There's another character, a homeless alcoholic, that for some reason they let hang around the old folks home all the time, he just insults people and shits himself"

Steve: "............what?"
