Complete story — includes the ending

Richard is in a new relationship with burlesque performer Stella ( Jan Anderson ), but becomes irritated when Larry, Jeff, and Marty suggest he is dating Stella solely because of her large breasts. Larry and his friends go to see Stella dance, and Richard subsequently catches them in the parking lot. Richard and Larry are puzzled when Stella tells them later that she is having her breasts reduced by 50%. Larry talks to residents at a shelter for women who have recently left abusive relationships; one of them knocks him over. When he visits the hospital to have his injury treated, accompanied by Leon, the doctor treating Larry wrongly assumes that the injury was caused by Leon. In a café, a stranger asks Larry to watch his laptop while he is out of the building. Larry asks a black man to watch it. The owner attempts to hide his anger with Larry for doing that. The black man goes to Larry's house to return the laptop, where police arrest him, mistaking him for Leon. Richard Lewis gets his hands injured by a shelter woman and is unable to enjoy his girlfriend's breasts the night before her reduction.
