Synopsis

  • Larry begins dating a disabled woman, Denise (Anita Barone), who uses a wheelchair. Larry meets Denise at a cafe, and they start talking. Later, Larry realizes that Denise uses a wheelchair as at that point, he is unable to back out of the relationship. They are both Kim Chee Yun fans and Larry says that he is going to attend a private recital at a friend's house. They decide to go on a date, prior to the recital. At the beginning, things are rough. They go to a restaurant which is not disabled friendly, and Larry has to carry Denise up the stairs with great difficulty. Larry was starving and didn't want to go to a different restaurant. When Denise first saw Larry, he was wearing a cap. But when he came to pick her up, she realized that Larry is bald. Denise is disappointed that Larry misrepresented himself. Larry retorts that he didn't know that Denise used a wheelchair. Denise invites Larry in her house at the end of the date. Larry has an awkward time as he tries to kiss Denise from various positions while she is sitting on her wheelchair. Eventually they get to the bedroom, but Larry cannot seem to get Denise excited. Larry cannot decide if he did anything wrong or was it because of Denise's condition.

    Larry has a physical confrontation with Rosie O'Donnell (Rosie O'Donnell) when they have lunch together and Rosie tries to pay the bill. Larry says that Rosie came on his invitation and hence he should pay the bill, while Rosie says she had the bill in her hand, so she pays. They both get into a wrestle and have to be separated by other customers. Rosie goes around town telling everybody that she beat Larry in a physical fight.

    Larry is cornered into another date with Denise, as he cannot break up with a handicapped person over the phone. He is pleased at the advantages of having a wheelchair-using significant other, including being given priority in restaurants. Larry decides not to break up with Denise. They run into Ted Danson who sends a pie to their table but feels insulted when Larry and Denise send the pie back as they are too full.

    They plan to attend a Kim Chee Yun recital being held by Larry's friends Jamie Fowler (Jamie Denbo) & John Fowler (John Ross Bowie). John and Jamie have just adopted a girl of Chinese descent and Larry wants to know if the girl has a natural affinity to using chopsticks. Larry later receives a message from John that Jamie does not want him to attend the recital.

    But later, they see Larry in the restaurant on a date with Denise, and invite him back to the recital, along with Denise.

    Larry goes to the beach with Jeff, Susie and Sammi. Jeff and Susie go for a walk and leave Larry to look over Sammi. Larry plays bricks on his blackberry as Sammi ventures into the ocean and starts to drown. Jeff rescues Sammi from the ocean. Susie throws Larry's Blackberry into the ocean. Larry cannot contact his new date after Susie throws his BlackBerry into the ocean. Larry and Leon decide to drive around LA to try and find Denise. Trying to find Denise, Larry meets another wheelchair-using woman, Wendy (Amy Pietz), whom he takes instead.

    After arriving with her, Jeff shows him that Denise is also present, which leads to both women confronting Larry. Larry climbs up the stairs to escape the 2 women, but is then chased by Rosie, who still has a score to settle with Larry.
