- On the sets of a Martin Scorsese movie, Martin was giving Larry fake money for the scenes, which required Larry to throw the money around. Larry is playing a mobster who is admonishing his crew for making a mistake and has to throw money in their faces. Larry criticizes Martin for doing too many takes, as he says that he did 2 takes maximum on the sets of Seinfeld.
Larry's mother dies, but he doesn't learn about it until after her funeral because he was busy working in New York City on a movie directed by Martin Scorsese and Larry's mother didn't want him bothered.
Larry finishes shooting for the movie and goes to visit his parents. That's when he finds from his father Nat that his mother died more than a week ago. Larry missed the funeral as his mother told Nat not to call him. Larry reads the comments left by the guests to the funeral, and many people had written asking where Larry was.
Larry uses her death as an excuse to get out of situations like dinners & bar-Mitzvahs that he doesn't want to attend, social conversations that he can't stand and so on. He even gets Cheryl to have sex with him, when she was not up to it one night, by using the mother bit. Richard Lewis is angry that Larry landed a role in a Martin Scorsese movie. Larry says that Martin saw Larry in an stand up Improv he did in New York a few years ago and decided to cast him. Richard wants to start meditating and Larry gives him his Mantra "Jai Ya". Larry says that he got the mantra from his Yoga instructor. Larry has no clue what it means.
Larry cannot find his mother's grave at the cemetery. Larry is angered when his mother's remains are put in a special section of the cemetery, meant for Hebrew misfits, as apparently Larry's mother had a tattoo on her rear right cheek. The directory of the cemetery refuses to move her to the normal section of the cemetery as he says that law is the law. Larry knows that his mother would be really upset to know that she was buried in the "special" section of the cemetery. Larry teams up with his father Nat (Shelley Berman), Cousin Andy (Richard Kind), and Jeff to put it right.
Larry bribes the cemetery garden keeper to move the casket from the "special" section to the regular section. Accidentally Larry uses notes from the fake currency bundle that Martin gave him on the sets. The garden keeper makes Larry dig up the grave and move the casket. Larry brings Jeff, Nat and Andy to help with the digging. The digging is hard work and leads to many arguments among the diggers. Finally, Larry's mother rests in the plot that was paid for by the Davids.
Larry lets Richard use his meditation mantra. But later, he changes his mind and asks Richard for his mantra back. When Richard resists, Larry again uses his "my mother just died" bit to get Richard to agree.
Later, Richard drops by and informs Larry that his meditation mantra "Jai Ya", means "F**k me". Richard has narrated this mantra roughly 400,000 times. The police show up the next day, and arrests Larry for passing counterfeit bills over town.
