10. Opening Night

Complete story — includes the ending

Cheryl reminds Larry to cash in on his present while in New York, as the deadline is approaching. She suspects that he will try to have sex with Cady. The cast members of the musical fly to New York, and Larry suspects David of having snitched on him to the flight attendant. At the hotel, Larry is annoyed by having to tip several hotel staff members. David loses his watch and Larry finds it at the hotel. Larry then loses it and David demands to be reimbursed. Larry finds the watch on hotel repairman Sanjay's wrist and takes it from him, then gives it to David. Intending to help Larry hook-up with Cady, Jeff tells him she has OCD, so he claims to her that he also suffers from the condition. She invites Larry into her dressing room for sex, but he loses interest after seeing a photograph of President George W. Bush on her dressing table. In the line outside the theater, Larry argues with a man ( Stephen Colbert ) who asks Larry to take his picture. The man curses Larry to have a bad performance on opening night. When Larry forgets his lines during the performance, Mel Brooks and his wife Anne Bancroft walk out, delighted because they wanted the play to bomb. He chose Larry because he believed that he would cause the play to be terminated, freeing Mel from all of the travel and bother that the play has cost him. But Larry rebounds by improvising a stand-up routine, which draws laughter from the audience and gives him the chance to remember his lines. The production is a success, horrifying Mel. Jerry Seinfeld has a cameo in the audience.
