Synopsis

  • While comforting a friend Barbara (Caroline Aaron) whose husband passed away, Larry (Larry David) and Cheryl (Cheryl Hines) comment on the husband's shirt. Larry becomes obsessed with a shirt. Larry then goes to the department store the next day to buy the same exact shirt.

    Jeff quits eating red meat. Jeff (Jeff Garlin) talks Larry into investing in a trendy new celebrity restaurant with Ted Danson (Ted Danson) and Michael York (Michael York). The manager, Jim and assistant manager, Teresa (Suzy Nakamura), for the new place are from a successful franchise called Gus.

    At the investor meeting, Ted Danson convinces Larry to come to his daughter's theme party as Wizard of Oz characters. Ted will provide the costumes. Larry would be "Lion" & Cheryl as "Dorothy". Jeff will come as the tin man. Larry also has some weird ideas for the restaurant, like no kebabs and every table to have a bell (so they don't have to yell for the waiter), he even offers to take care of the waiter uniforms. Larry selects a military theme to the waiter's uniforms. The investors hate the idea, and Jeff rescues the situation with a clean cut uniform paired with a sleeveless vest.

    Larry gets into trouble when he throws away some trash in a random garbage can. The owner of the can objects to Larry throwing his personal trash in it.

    Cheryl is not happy with the investment. Larry says that the restaurant is in a great location, and he is happy that he is part of the plan, as they can make a lot of money from this venture. Larry says he can hang around the restaurant and chat with customers, which is ironic since Larry hates chatting with people. She also tells him that Larry's dentist has invited them for dinner on Saturday. Larry is puzzled and not happy about mixing his professional life with the personal & tells him that he is out of town. Larry runs into a person, while shopping, who recognizes Larry as they met at the dentist's waiting room. Larry tells him that he doesn't go there anymore.

    He gets the same shirt (that he was wearing), as a gift for Ted. When he gives it to Ted, Ted finds that there is a hole in it. Ted is offended & asks Larry to exchange the shirt. At his daughter's party, Ted changes plans and asks Jeff to be the lion and Larry to be the Tin Man. Larry refuses to do the Tin Man. Ted's daughter takes a hard swing with the bat (for the pinata) & accidentally hits Larry in the mouth and breaks his teeth.

    Larry has to go back to his dentist, as no one else would see him on a Sunday. The dentist knows all about Larry firing him & gives him really large temporary teeth (bunny teeth). Ted comes over to Larry's to apologize for his daughter & wants his gift back. Larry's shirt is ruined from the blood & he now refuses to give Ted's shirt to Ted.

    They start fighting, when Cheryl intervenes and tells Larry that since he bought 2 shirts (1 for Ted and 1 as backup for his own shirt), he should give Ted's shirt back to him. Larry changes his shirt & brings Ted's shirt down. Barbara comes over and is overwhelmed to see her dead husband's shirt on Larry & cries all over it & ends up ruining it. Larry and Ted fight over the last shirt, tearing it apart. On his way back, Ted throws the shirt in the same garbage can, earning the ire of the owner.
