- Larry (Larry David) has bought new pants, which leave a tent in front of his crotch. The tent makes it look like Larry is having an erection. Larry wants to watch the new Dustin Hoffman movie. Cheryl (Cheryl Hines) has Yoga and won't put it off to watch a movie with Larry. Larry calls Richard Lewis (Richard Lewis), who is going to the movie with his date & won't invite Larry to join them. In the premier episode, Larry jokingly refers to his wife Cheryl as "Hitler", offending his manager Jeff Green's (Jeff Garlin) conservative Hebrew parents (Jeff was on the speaker phone while driving in his car and his parents were in the car with him). This makes things bad as now Jeff can't go to the movies with Larry.
Since Jeff can't go to the movies with Larry, Cheryl sets Larry up with a friend of hers Nancy (Robin Ruzan), to go to the movies with him. In the theatre, Larry has a fight with a sexy woman, before getting to his seat. The sexy girl turns out to be Richard Lewis's date Sophia. When Larry sits, he has the trouser tent & Nancy thinks he has an erection from his fight with Richard Lewis's girlfriend. Later, Larry refuses a coffee invitation from Richard, without Richard knowing that Sophia and Larry had a fight earlier that night. Richard, Sophia, Larry and Cheryl have a dinner date planned on the coming weekend.
Larry tells Cheryl how Nancy might have felt that she got him aroused due to the trouser tent. That night Cheryl tells Larry that Jeff left a message that just said, "I am sorry". Larry didn't want to admit the truth to Cheryl (that he called her Hitler & Jeff's parents heard it), so he says that he doesn't know why Jeff left that message. Larry also tells Cheryl about the SNAFU with Sophia and asks her to cancel the joint dinner date with Richard & Sophia.
Next day Larry tells Jeff to tell Cheryl that he left that message because he told Cathy Griffin that Larry could not write a screenplay for her, without checking with Larry. Jeff's parents have asked him to drop Larry as a client, so Jeff begs Larry to have dinner with his parents and apologize to them. Richard comes over to Larry's office & is angry at him for ruining things with Sophia. Richard wants Larry to apologize to Sophia at their dinner together, which Larry refuses to go to.
Larry goes over to Jeff's & apologizes to his parents. He gets home, where Cheryl has invited Nancy to explain that Larry didn't have a hard on. But Nancy insists that she was rubbing Larry's arm & he got a hard on. Cheryl is upset that Larry didn't tell her the whole story. Nancy storms out when Larry denies that he had a hard on.
That night they go for dinner (Larry & Cheryl) and run into Jeff & his parents. Larry can't get a table as he has a reservation for 4 (with Richard and Sophia), & the hostess wont seat 2. Jeff asks Larry & Cheryl to join them but says that his parents are still upset because Larry didn't wait to see their daughter's child, when she offered to. At dinner, Cathy Griffin walks up to the table, and it is revealed in conversation that Cathy never spoke to Jeff. Larry is caught in his web of lies.
