Complete story — includes the ending

Larry asks his rabbi for advice about his plan to have sex with another woman. The rabbi assures him the practice has precedent in the Torah, Sarah having allowed her husband Abraham to have sex with Hagar. Larry and Cheryl plan to celebrate their 10th anniversary with a vow renewal. Due to a misunderstanding, the same rabbi, who is conducting the ceremony, brings a "survivor" ( Survivor: The Australian Outback runner-up, Colby Donaldson ) to a social occasion and Larry's father brings a Holocaust survivor, Solly. This leads to an argument between Colby and Solly over who has endured the most. Larry receives an offer of sex from Hasidic dry cleaner Anna ( Gina Gershon ), who has also been married ten years. They meet at a hotel room, where Larry appears wrapped in a sheet with a hole in it, believing a rumor about how Hasidic people have sex, until she corrects him. Before they can have sex, an earthquake strikes and the hotel is evacuated.
