Jeff and Susie show up with Larry’s stolen excuse. Cut to Larry slouched in Marty’s living room.
Larry and Cheryl show up on Marty’s doorstep displaying faux bewilderment at the lack of party guests. Larry says he’ll need a couple of months to “…mentally prepare for that.” Larry tells her they need to make a quick stop by Marty’s so Larry can lie to him about the party. No one can argue with that…It’s a great reason to have kids.”Īs Larry and Cheryl drive to a party at Ted Danson’s house, Cheryl proselytizes about how the “Edna” victims need help desperately and how they should adopt one of the displaced families. Jeff says he'll use his young daughter as an explanation, which Richard finds reprehensible. Larry decides he’ll tell Marty he confused tonight with yesterday. Larry, Jeff, and Richard Lewis congregate in the changing rooms of Larry and Jeff’s country club while the television broadcasts news of “Hurricane Edna.” Richard acts pissy while Larry and Jeff devise an alibi to explain to Marty Funkhouser why they were not at his party the previous evening. Naturally, the absence of the fire alarm will prove to be a liability later in the episode. After a hilarious close-up of Larry’s face twisted in aggravation, he fixes the problem with a baseball bat.
Larry gets up on a stepladder and unscrews the alarm, but can’t deactivate it. Larry and Cheryl are awoken in the middle of the night by a smoke alarm in the kitchen. Like Season 6, Part 2 of The Sopranos, Season 6 of Curb Your Enthusiasm opens with our beloved hero asleep in his bed.
