Were three episodes from the finale, and its no clearer howCurbwill end than when the season started.
Or are they red herrings?
Its too early to tell; we still have Larrys heroic water-bottle trial to look forward to.
(Something Larry reminds us of.)
Larry whines, sounding a whole lot like Jerry Seinfeld.
We dont know who it was.
They should get some credit for that.
(Larry likes it from the top.)
The unconscious, it turns out, is a wild and uncontrollable thing.
The plan works perfectly; Susie lets Jeff off the hook because she believes in respecting the unconscious.
(I giggle at the thought of Susie readingThe Body Keeps the Score.)
Of course, no message from Larry.)
Ive never spoken to a child without contempt in my voice in my life!
he tells Gina particularly ironic considering the real Larry has two daughters.
Do you like hockey?
Do you think Puerto Rico should become a state?
Its 2024; youd think theyd have invented a better hoodie mechanism by now.
(Its not hard to make friends; its just nobody likes you … Its a pocketknife.
Youre supposed to cut yourself sometimes.)
If this scene was at all improvised, its some of Vince Vaughns best work sinceWedding Crashers.
Stu flops them once again, and now its war.
They show up at Stus wifes house and fight so much that they end up breaking the violin.
Gina angrily tugs the sweatshirt string from his sweatshirt.
Now the men have no responsibility, which is exactly how they like it.
The scene is so veryElaine in The Airport,stuck in a middle seat after a flight is canceled.
(Hes sleeping and I have to go to the bathroom.
I hope this disgusting slob appreciates what Im doing for him.)
Hopefully Susie got to her textile convention in time.
Ideally, shes modeling with her puppy, Frankie, in matching outfits.
Shout-out to the coyote vest a real-life absurd-looking invention designed to keep coyotes from snatching small dogs.
Once again, Larry is fully innocent.
Its really honestly like the lowest form of human communication, says Freddy.)
Oh, and encouraging Jeff to lie to Susie, which he always does anyway.
But Larrys skepticism around the concept of trauma comes back to haunt him.
Dahlia answers the door and accepts the painting on Larrys behalf.
Naturally, Dahlia has painted the trauma.
Once again, Larry ends the episode having gone downtown.
The dream scheme goes both ways.
Larry must now prepare for a public trial that will surely be nothing if not annihilating.
But will Larry emerge a hero or just a Wisenheimer?
Its dangerously close to the finale, and still, we have no idea.
Lets hope Larry keeps building upon what hes already given us instead of sourcing scraps from the cutting-room floor.
Where did Dahlia find paint in Larrys house?
And while Im ranting here, Larry-style, where were Cheryl and Ted?
On vacation atThe White Lotuswith Lori Loughlin andMossimo from Target?
Thankfully, it seems hell be back in the next episode.
And Vince Vaughn has made quite the case for himself.)
There was so much good here; the misses were forgivable.
All pretty, pretty, pretty great.
Leonisms
On going downtown: I can fuck around and do a TED Talk to that shit.
Ill have a pussy TED Talk.
Like, This is a pussy, see?
Im good at that shit.
On erogenous zones: I go through all the fucking zones.
All the eromenous zones.
Erotenous … Gotta know where to lick at and where to tickle.
And people who do it from the bottom, you do it like this.
Its almost as if youre un-wiping your ass.
Getting caught eating pussy is not a basis.
On the origins of cunnilingus: That shit didnt start til the early 1900s, at least.
Somebody had to be first …
Put that motherfucker on the Mount Rushmore of pussy eaters.
They all got their tongue out and shit.
