Complete story — includes the ending

Larry meets Jennifer's son Greg, a flamboyant child with an interest in fashion. Upon learning of Greg's interest, Larry buys him a sewing machine for his birthday to Greg's excitement and Jennifer's chagrin; she later asks Larry to buy him another gift. Larry suspects Michael J. Fox, his upstairs neighbor, of scolding him at a bar. When he asks Michael whether he was scolding him or not, Fox claims it was a Parkinson's twitch. Larry later receives a shaken Coke from Michael that explodes, and he begins to hear loud noises at night. He suspects harassment from Michael, but Fox once again claims it was side effects of his condition. Larry complains to the building's board about Michael, but they all side with Fox and ask for him to make amends by attending Michael's charity event. Larry meets Jennifer and Susie at the park to give Greg his other gift, a violin, but Greg shows up with a gift to Susie – a pillow sham with a swastika on it (which Larry had earlier shown to Greg when he met him). Susie angrily charges Larry, but is in the path of an oncoming bike; Jeff pushes her out the way and takes the hit. Later, at Michael's charity event, Larry signals to Jeff what he bought for Greg – a sign mistaken as a mockery of Parkinson's; Larry is jeered by the crowd and ejected from the event by Mayor Bloomberg. Afterwards, Larry once again attempts to reconcile with Michael, who asks him to do a charity gig. To get out of the obligation, Larry and Leon head to Paris.
