Okay, I was just in Leon's room putting some flowers in there.
- Leon's room? - Yeah, and there's a There's a stain on the blanket.

Okay, I'm gonna talk to him.
- No, oh, God.
- What, are you kidding? I don't want to some guy staying here masturbating all over the place.
You can't talk to him about it.
- Leon.
- Larry.
Can I talk to you for a second? Excuse me, ladies.
I shall return.
Oh my God.
I gotta get something over to All right.
Man, I'm about to bust.
- Enjoyed your breakfast? - Larry, you know how to bring it.
- That's nice.
- I'm about to blow up.
- I just spoke to my wife.
- Okay.
And she said she was putting some flowers in your room.
And she found a stain on your blanket.
Stain on my blanket, huh? What, like juice, Syrup, maybe syrup or something like that? Huh-uh, no.
Gravies maybe, something in the gravy category? Huh-uh, no.
What kind of stain was it? - Hmm? - Ejaculate.
E-what? Ejaculate.
Ajackalit.
Not ajackalit.
Ejaculate.
Ejaculate? Cum stain.
Cum.
Cum stain.
What kind of cum was it, first of all? What do you mean, what kind of cum? Cum's cum.
- Cum is not cum, Larry.
- Cum's cum.
It couldn't have been mine.
Know why? 'cause I gets mine, Larry.
I brings the ruckus to the ladies.
Okay, so you're denying this.
Is that it? First of all, look around this place, man.
Are there any visuals around here to jack off to? All we have is basic cable, right? What am I doing, jacking off to "Andy Griffith"? Jacking off to Clara, huh? - You mean Aunt Bea? - Aunt Bea, Clara, whoever.
- Who's Clara? - Who's the lady who answer the phone? - I don't know.
- Is that her name, Clara? I don't know Clara.
I know Aunt Bea.
Nobody wanna jack off to no damn Aunt Bea.
I don't remember any beauties on that show, frankly.
It's not my cum, Larry.
- Okay? - Okay.
So, yeah, just get the blanket clean.
- This is it? - That's all, yeah.
What are you doing? What are you doing? You want me to clean the blanket.
Yeah, so just throw it in the bin.
You don't need to I don't have a bin, Larry.
I have to look at it to see what kind - of cleaning - You don't need to inspect it.
Larry, do you want me to clean the blanket or not? What are you doing? You throw it in.
Oh Okay, I had nothing to do with that.
Sure, Larry, whatever you say.
No, somebody's staying at my house, and I'm sure he did that.
Larry, I could give a shit if it was Santa Claus.
I'm just trying to get it off.
No, I'm just telling you, okay, that I had nothing to do with that.
- That's not my stain.
All right, fine.
- Okay okay.
You look very cute when you're all blushy.
- You think I'm gonna tell? I'm your friend.
- I didn't do it.
I'm not gonna lie about that.
You're really insane, you know? Larry.
I don't see my Yankee jersey - by the way.
- Huh.
- See that? - Wow, it must be gone then.
I'm sorry, Larry.
What? What? It happens, Larry.
That's what happens sometimes.
No no no, you don't understand.
That's Joe Pepitone's jersey.
I've had that jersey since I was a kid.
Number 25.
It's gone.
Somebody else must have taken it.
Well, do you think they'll return it? Larry, in all the many years I've worked here at the dry cleaners, no one ever returns anything.
Sometimes you get home and you have something that isn't yours, and sometimes something of yours gets taken.
That's just the unwritten law of dry cleaning.
Everyone knows that.
- Really? - Really.
Well, I don't subscribe to that law.
Oh, well, then maybe you should change it.
- Maybe I will.
- Good.
I'll have your semen-covered blanket ready on Wednesday.
So I confronted him.
Of course he denied it, but I mean, come on, give me a break.
He was in the room.
I mean, who else could it be? You gotta kick him out, hands down.
First night in the house.
Hey hey, I did it.
Come on, no big deal.
You did it? Yeah, did it, yep, me.
- Are you serious? - Yeah, what's the big deal? What's the big deal? It was Passover at your house.
I was drinking a little bit, had some manischewitz, you know? Feeling good, and I was away from the table.
I got an erection.
I took care of it before I came back.
I didn't want to come back to the table with an erection at Passover.
- Are you out of your mind? - No, it's no big deal.
- Passover? - It's not like Yom Kippur.
- I would never do it on the High Holidays.
- He wouldn't do it - on a High Holiday.
- No, I wouldn't.
You're like a monkey.
- A monkey.
- You are.
- You didn't do a good job of cleaning up.
- I did the best I could.
- That's the best you could? - I had to get back to the table.
They were doing the four questions and I love the four questions.
Gotta get back.
It's very important.
- I love the four questions.
- This is unbelievable.
- No big deal.
- It is a big deal.
Come to my house and do it.
What do I give a shit? Come on over and whack off.
Have a good time.
Oh, listen, I left my sunglasses at your house.
I need 'em desperately.
- All right, I'll look for 'em.
- Don't let him in your house.
- Hi, guys.
- Hey! - Look at you.
- No, look at you.
- You are Miss NRDC.
- Look at you! - Well, thank you.
- You make me wanna save the planet.
- So, should we go in, - Okay, let's go in.
See the new wing? Call me, actually.
I have something to tell you.
- I've got something to tell you, too.
- Oh, saying hello? - Hello.
- Oh, hi.
Why are you and Ted always kind of hitting each other all the time? All this playful hitting? All that stuff? It's not a conscious thing.
I don't know.
I'm expressive with my hands.
Hey - Larry David.
That's great.
- Huh? - Never had a wing before.
- I know.
That's pretty good.
Pretty good.
- It's your night to shine.
- Yeah yeah, it's great.
What is that? "Wing Donated By Anonymous.
" - Yeah, yeah.
- Anonymous? I'm not crazy about that.
Now it looks like just looks like I did mine for the credit As opposed to, you know, Mr.
Wonderful "Anonymous.
" I know who it is.
It's Ted.
Ted is Anonymous.
What are you, kidding? No, isn't that great? He donated a whole wing and didn't want anybody to know.
Well, he told you, so he apparently wanted somebody to know.
He told me, okay? Who else did he tell? How do you know he just told you? The point is that he didn't need all the fanfare Fanfare? What fanfare? I don't like the fanfare.
You're saying I like fanfare? He can tell a few people.
He just doesn't need the whole world to know that he donated all this money.
You know what? I didn't need the world to know, either.
Nobody told me that I could be anonymous and tell people.
I would have taken that option, okay? You can't have it halfway.
You're either anonymous or you're not.
- What is it? - People are pointing out - there's Larry David's wing.
- Oh, yeah, there's Larry David, the guy who has to have his name up on the wall, as opposed to Mr.
Anonymous, but was really Ted.
- I'm proud of you.
- Anonymous.
It's fake philanthropy, and it's faux anonymity.
What do you think about that? Oh, I want to go talk to senator Boxer.
I'll be right back.
- Hi.
- Hi, Larry.
- Hello, senator.
- It is good to see you.
Senator, I wanted to talk to you about an issue that doesn't really get a lot of play in the papers.
Well, tell me 'cause I like new issues.
Okay, I'm talking about what's going on at the dry cleaners.
What's going on at the dry cleaners, Larry? Well, what happens is sometimes they'll give your item to someone else and then that person owns it and walks around in it, and you have no recourse.
And there's no oversight.
It's just complete chaos in the dry cleaning industry, as I see it.
Larry, the thing about it is that sometimes you get an item that isn't yours and sometimes you lose an item.
So at the end of the day, it balances out.
Yeah, well, it's not balancing out for me, senator.
I never get an item, and you know what? If I got it, I would return it, because I think the whole system is flawed.
Larry, you see these slacks? See 'em? Dry cleaners.
Those are somebody else's pants? Well, they're mine now.
- You're part of the problem, senator.
- Please don't - Isn't he great? - Ted.
- Oh, you know each other, right.
- Oh, yeah.
You look fabulous! You are such a hero.
- You are, Barbara.
- When you founded the Oceans Foundation you changed everything because his kids couldn't swim in the bay.
Oh oh, the poor little kids.
They couldn't swim in the bay.
Oh, what about the 400-foot pool they could swim in? That wasn't available to them at the time? Well, you know, could I just say, that aside, look at this.
Anonymous.
You really I know.
I know.
I didn't say Larry, did you know this anonymous is Ted? - Yeah, I did.
- The point I want to make is: You didn't need to do this.
- That's true.
He didn't.
- He didn't.
But that's why I kept my name off, because I think it's the exhibit.
It's the issue that needs to stand forward, not me.
- And you're so passionate about the issue.
- Thank you.
You know, too many people don't do things out of the goodness they want the credit.
You are number one in my book, Ted Danson.
- Senator.
- Please don't forget I've gotta run.
Bye, Larry.
Bye, Ted.
- So sweet.
Bye, darling.
- See you later.
- Yeah, bye.
- Right this way.
Wow, wow.
- I didn't expect that.
- What is this bullshit? - What? - Anonymous.
Give me a break.
If you're Anonymous, how come people know about it? I told maybe one or two people, friends that I didn't think I wanted to have a secret.
I have a feeling everybody in this room knows.
Can I have your attention, everybody? We're gonna start the ceremony and senator Barbara Boxer would like - to say a few words.
- Thank you so much.
This is a night to thank two very special people - You know, you're full of shit.
- You're a fucking asshole.
- So one is Larry David.
- Anonymous.
Larry David.
We are very thrilled with his contribution, and the other is anonymous.
So you know not one person, not one thanked me for the donation.
Are you aware of that? Next time I give money to anybody it'll be anonymous, I can tell you that.
And I'm going to tell everybody.
I know who the masturbator was.
Jeff.
Uh-huh.
- Ted Danson told you that.
- It doesn't matter.
Oh my God.
That's really unbelievable.
- You know what's unbelievable? - That's unbelievable.
Is that your friend would think that's it's okay to come over to our house and jerk off.
- He's had too much to drink, you know - Too much to drink? - Yeah, he was drunk.
- Well I've had drinks before, and I didn't go over to somebody's house - and masturbate in the guest room.
- Well, good for you.
And by the way, Jeff is banned from our house.
- You're banning him from the house? - Yeah.
He is not welcome in our house anymore.
I tell you what: I'd rather have the masturbator in the house than the gossiper.
Well, you obviously weren't going to tell me, Larry.
I would have told you on the way home or waited until I got in the house, - Oh, right.
- So we'd have a good laugh over it later.
- A laugh? - Well, whatever.
- Did you really think - No probably not.
That's hilarious"Hey, Cheryl, guess who jerked off on our blanket? It was Jeff.
Isn't that hilarious?" Yeah.
Yeah, that's a fun ride home.
Heya, what's going on? Tch It's crazy, really, but, l you know.
Um Cheryl found out about the stain on the blanket.
How could she find out? You You didn't tell her.
No.
Ted Danson? Yeah, her girlfriend Ted! - Why would he do do something like that? - I don't know.
- That's unbelievable! - I don't understand that! - That was a private moment! - Absolutely.
- And then he's gossiping? - What a little yenta! That's crazy! Now how am I gonna look Cheryl in the eye? How can the four of us ever go out again? That's another thing.
She's uh she was pretty upset, and, uh she's banned you from the house.
- Cheryl banned me from your house? - You're banned.
What the hell is going on? Oh, hey, Sus'.
- Larr.
- Hi, how are you? What do you mean Cheryl banned you from the house? - Who just said? - I heard you! Don't try to bullshit me! Why, what happened? What's gonna happen if I don't tell? I'll call Cheryl and find out.
- What the fuck difference does it make? - Well, okay.
Last Passover You what?! You jerked off in their house? - Yeah.
- Oh, that is sick! You have wrought your semen outside our home, Jeff? - Yeah.
- That's adultery! - That's cheating on me! - When did You masturbate in this house and this house alone! Maybe a hotel.
Not at a friend's house! I have to agree with her, really.
You know what, Larry? I can handle this.
He's my husband.
Shut the fuck up, okay? - Okay.
- It's sick, Jeff! You don't jerk off in somebody else's home! And Cheryl kicked him out? - Yeah, she banned him.
- Really? Who the fuck is she to tell my husband what to do? - I punish my husband! - I could not agree more with you.
- Thank you very much, Larry.
- You're right.
Ban him from the house? - Fuck you, ban him from the house.
- Fuck you, yeah, absolutely.
I will take care of you in my own way.

That guy right there.
It's his shirt.
We're definitely taking the damn shirt.
- Larry? - Huh? Larry David? Hey hey hey.
Hey, it's Merle Merle Berger from the NRDC function the other night.
Oh, Merle! Hey! Hey, did you send that guy over to take my jersey? Well, I didn't really send him.
He kind of went off on his own.
He just took the jersey off my back! I don't think it's really your jersey, though, is it, Merle? What do you mean? I was wearing it.
Did you get that jersey from the dry cleaner? Yeah, I got it I got it from the dry cleaner.
Okay, Merle, that jersey is my jersey.
I brought it into that dry cleaner and they gave it to you by mistake.
- But you didn't return it.
- But that's the law of the dry cleaners.
You know, you win some, you lose some.
- That's the way it works.
- That doesn't work out with me.
I never get any stuff from the dry cleaner.
The only mistakes they make with me are to give my stuff to other people.
That's not my fault.
I've lost tons of stuff at the dry cleaners.
I lost drapes! Well, I'm sorry for your losses but you're not gonna make it up now.
If you got a problem with this why don't you just write your congressperson? Yeah, well I spoke to senator Boxer.
How about that? Oh, that's great.
And what did she say? She said that she's gonna go to Washington and take care of this problem.
Okay, you know what? I'm on the board at the NRDC and your name's coming off that wall.
How would you like that? You're gonna take my name off the wall? - Yeah, I'm gonna - No! You wouldn't.
Oh, you bet I would.
- Okay, go ahead, do it.
- I'm gonna do it! And why don't you put up "Anonymous" instead? I will.
That's a perfect idea.
- Yeah, really? Go ahead and do it.
- I have a lot of pull.
- Okay, let's see.
- Good.
You come by there next Monday, It's gonna say "Anonymous" on the wall.
- Okay, good! Don't forget.
- I'm not! Okay.
Joe Pepitone! We got a matching set, man.
Mom! What's wrong, Sammy, darling? Mmm! Bam! Bam! - War.
- War.
I declare war! Boom! Aw! All right! What'd I get? Take it.
Peanut, grab that door! Get the door, Peanut! I just want to do my thing, Larry.
What is your thing? I'm gonna be a director, man Action movies, all that stuff, man.
You know you can't just go right into that.
You gotta get something in production, you know what I mean? Oh.
Oh, man.
This is a new low, even for you, Larry.
Huh? You came over yesterday, you went to the bathroom and you choked it on Sammy's teddy bear as some kind of revenge masturbatory payback! - Okay, I didn't do that - Oh, bullshit! You're a fucking liar! - What, I did that? - Yes you did! Are you crazy? It's that jackalit, right? Who the fuck is this? That's Leon, Loretta's brother.
What's up what's up, what's up what's up? Mmm.
I tell you one thing: I like a woman with a smart-ass mouth like that.
- Yeah, well fuck you too! - Mmm.
You handle yourself.
That's beside the point, Leon.
This is sick, this is perverse, and I think this is the lowest you've ever gone.
- Come on, I didn't do that.
- Oh really, then who did? - I don't know.
- Just some anonymous person? Who's anonymous, then? - Oh, I know who Anonymous is.
- Who? - It's Ted Danson.
- How do you know? Well, he told me, but he told me not to tell anybody.
That's how he likes to do it.
Makes him feel better about himself.
Danson?! Oh, that's disgusting! That is just disgusting! What a perv, man! Actors! Boom! War.
I declare - Boom! war.
I'll get it.
Ted, it's Susie for you.
I wonder what she wants.
- Hey, Larr, how are you? - Hi Kathy.
- How are you doing, man? - Good.
Hey, I wanted to tell you I heard that you took your name off the NRDC building and had it replaced with Anonymous.
I think it's so wonderful.
I admire you so much for that.
Kathy, I get plenty of fanfare.
I don't need the fanfare, you know? - Good for you, Larry.
- I really don't.
As a matter of fact, I hope you don't mind That I told a few people that you were the anonymous person.
I hope that's okay that I let that slip out.
Well, I can't really tell you what to do, but l yeah people should know you're anonymous.
- You're a great guy, Larry - Well, if you want to tell people go ahead.
- You know, it's up to you.
- I have already and I might continue.
- Continue away.
- All right, I will.
- Thank you.
- Take care, honey.
- Bye bye.
- Bye.
It's that guy.
That's the guy.
Hey! That's the guy! That's that bald guy that took my jersey! You gotta let me in! These people are chasing me! Sir, the building's closed.
I can't help you.
No no, I'm Larry David.
