That's the kind of CYE episode you recommend your buddy who never saw the show. Larry carried a handicapped woman upstairs, he tried to make out with her on the wheelchair, and then he ran around the house from women on wheelchair because he made himself look like a cheater. Larry David takes a funny situation and makes various hilarious things around that situation. He is a genius and it's so obvious that he is the man who created Seinfeld.

When it come to insensitivity, Larry is an expert!

Larry is having coffee. He whistles a tune that he is listening in his IPod. An attractive lady, Denise, sitting across the room, asks him what is playing. He explains it's Chee Yun, a classic violinist. She loves the soloist. Larry surprises her when he tells her is going to a private concert at the home of some friends. She can't believe it! Larry suggests they could go on a pre-date before he takes Denise to the concert, something he knows can be arranged. When Denise moves to come near Larry, he notices she is on a wheelchair, something he didn't realize when he first saw her.

His meeting with Rosie O'Donnell, at a restaurant, turns out to be a fiasco because she wanted to pay the check, even though Larry had invited. Rosie and Larry make quite a spectacle of themselves. Larry meets the Fowlers, the sponsors of the private concert, taking a stroll with their adopted Chinese girl. Larry asked whether the girl tended to favor chopsticks, rather than normal eating utensils. The parents walk away horrified by their encounter. The Fowlers decide Larry is not welcome at the concert.

Larry had invited Denise out. Little does he know the restaurant they are going to, has no ramp for wheelchairs. Larry doesn't want to try another place, so he ends up taking Denise in his arms, something that strains his back. Larry is considering dropping Denise, but he is in for a big surprise on a second date where he has decided to tell her his decision. He is not prepared for a nice benefit Denise can offer. Because she is handicapped, they can park at a spot in front. Not having reservations, they're shown to a table right away. They get invited to champagne, on the house. The perfect evening ends in a sour note because Ted Danson, who is dining with a friend, sends the couple a piece of the pie he claims is "to die for", but not having room for any more, Larry refuses and has an argument with Danson.

At the beach with Jeff and Susie, he is asked to look after Sammi, who is going in the water. As the Greenes leave for a stroll, Larry is playing games on his Blackberry. Sammi, suddenly appears to be drowning. Larry, watches the scene. He starts running, but he still had the phone, so he goes back. By that time Jeff and Susie get there as the girl had been rescued. Susie who sees the Blackberry, grabs it from Larry and throws it to the water.

The problem Larry faces is that how can he contact Denise to tell her they're on for the concert. He knows her neighborhood, but he's not sure of the address. Leon suggests they drive around the area to see if Larry recognizes where Denise house is located. When they spot a young woman in a wheelchair. Larry decides to take a chance and see if this lady knows Denise. Of course, she doesn't, but she is a big fan of Chee Yun. As it turns out, Wendy, the new handicapped woman loves the idea of going with him.

The night of the concert, Larry arrives with Wendy. He never expected to find Denise, who is already there. Larry decides to hide Wendy in a closet and goes to talk to Denise, who is not too happy. When Larry's phone rings, Denise grabs it, and learns that Wendy is calling from the closet. Rosie O'Donnell, who happens to hear the fracas, goes to the rescue, chasing Larry all over the house.

Another great installment on the series. Larry makes a statement about our dependence on such modern conveniences as the Blackberry where we have all our contacts at our fingertip. He also makes a point about the guilt people feel about persons with a handicap, who get privileges everywhere because we don't know how to treat them.

This show was directed by David Mandel. A great appearance by Anita Barone, who plays Denise. Rosie O'Donnell has some hilarious moments. Amy Pietz is seen as Wendy. Ted Danson and the regulars are at their best in this episode.

A rather forgettable episode. The most notable part is Rosie O'Donnell.
