Complete story — includes the ending

Larry "recommends" a former but much-despised Seinfeld director ( Michael McKean ) to helm Richard Lewis' new TV pilot. Larry meets a potential love interest while waiting to see a gastroenterologist, and then later gives a sarcastic symptom to the nurse about his ailment in the exam room. Larry chooses to imitate a man he saw at the movies cutting the line in order to keep the office across from his vacant. At Sammi's Bat Mitzvah ceremony, Larry gives a toast, which quickly turns in rumour quashing about a gerbil lodged in his rectum. Larry and Loretta become attracted to each other.
