- Mel Brooks sees Larry (Larry David) performing some karaoke at a bar one night and is quickly impressed with his singing abilities. He then invites Larry to audition to star in a Broadway production of "The Producers". Larry is offered the lead role of Max Bialystock in Mel Brooks' musical, The Producers. Ben Stiller will be his co-star on the musical. Mel's investors tell him that he is making a mistake by signing Larry for the lead role.
While driving to the meeting with Mel, Larry almost drives into a wheel-chaired person, who was rolling around while talking into his phone. Larry gets into an argument with this person. Mel's secretary is a lesbian & is not very thrilled to hear Larry complaining about Dennis (Michael D'Amore) the computer guy (the guy in the wheelchair).
Larry also found Dennis's wallet just outside Mel's office & handed it to Mel's secretary. Larry asks the secretary to return the wallet to Dennis. Larry learns that the secretary and her partner are adopting a boy. Larry, in his usual style, asks too many questions and it seems like he is making fun of lesbians. The boy is Chinese and Larry suggests naming him "Tang". Larry also says that being named Tang won't be the boy's biggest problem when he attends school, thereby implying that having lesbian mothers would be the far bigger issue. But the deal quickly goes south once Mel hits Larry in the head while coming out of the loo (in Mel's office).
Jeff (Jeff Garlin) takes Larry to a doctor, where Larry uses the phone in the examination room. The doctor gets upset over this & forbids Larry from doing so again. Larry gets into a big argument with the doctor on how the rule of not using the exam room phone, doesn't make any sense. Then the doctor drools on him, while examining him. Larry gets a few stitches on his forehead for his injury.
Then Larry runs into Dennis (on his 2nd visit to Mel's office) & finds that Mel's secretary returned the wallet to Dennis, but never mentioned that Larry was the one who gave the wallet to her. While Larry is complaining, Mel's secretary's lesbian partner arrives & manhandles Larry for making fun of lesbians earlier. Larry was doing no such thing, but his actions were interpreted as such by Mel's secretary.
Larry & Cheryl's (Cheryl Hines) 10-year wedding anniversary is coming up. Cheryl wants to renew their vows in a real ceremony. Larry reminds Cheryl of an anniversary gift she had promised him 10 years earlier (she promised that Larry would have sex with someone else for their 10-year anniversary). Cheryl challenges Larry to a "free pass" till the day of the anniversary. Larry has 3 months to make good on his pass.
Mel has asked Larry to watch the show & has told him that Ben Stiller is also joining the show. At the theatre, Larry runs into Ben. Ben is shocked to find that Mel offered the part to Larry, who doesn't act or sing. Plus, Larry refuses to shake hands with Ben, after he has sneezed into them. Inside, Larry decides to do the show, after watching the voluptuous actress perform, he thinks that might be an easy way to win his free pass from Cheryl. Larry dozes off and drools, which falls over the doctor, who was sitting in the lower concourse.
