Complete story — includes the ending

Cheryl's parents ( Paul Dooley, Julie Payne ) ask Larry to write a newspaper death notice for Cheryl's aunt, Louise. They blame him for a horrifying typographical error ( cunt instead of aunt) when it is published in the local newspaper. Cheryl's sister Becky ( Kaitlin Olson ) and her boyfriend Craig fly in from Tallahassee, Florida. Craig tells Larry that he was about to break up with Becky when Louise died and asks Larry how long he should wait before doing so. Larry says to break up with her once they have returned home and not to tell anyone about their conversation. Craig ends the relationship while they are in Los Angeles. After Becky confronts Larry about him advising him to break up with her, Cheryl kicks him out of his own house. Larry goes to Jeff's house only to be ejected for accidentally touching Jeff's mother's left breast with the back of his hand. Larry tries to stay at a hotel, but is unable to because it is full. He confronts Craig in the lobby, is thrown out, and ends up sleeping in his car.
