Complete story — includes the ending

Latte Larry's is featured in a Today Show segment documenting the spite store trend that it has spawned. Also featured are Jonah's Deli ( Jonah Hill ) and Sean's Exotic Birds ( Sean Penn ). Larry's doctor informs him that his knee requires arthroscopic surgery, then becomes irritated when Larry seeks a second opinion. Larry sees recently transitioned Joey Funkhouser nude in his country club's locker room and questions whether he will be able to manage his large penis. Leon invites Joey to join the Big Johnson community. Larry confronts a group of firefighters in his store who admit to using their sirens to expedite coffee runs. Alice visits Latte Larry's, but her memory loss prevents her from remembering their history and her planned lawsuit. Larry spreads discord between Susie's expectant friends Tara and Will when he inquires about their preference for the child's skin color. Larry offers to have Will's watch repaired at his jeweler, only to find it has been driven out of business by a spite store run by Mila Kunis. Larry confronts an ambulance driver who also admits to using sirens to expedite coffee runs. Larry forgets the watch on the counter in the club locker room, where it is accidentally knocked on the floor by Joey's penis. Upon tasting a scone, Alice regains her memory of the incident with Larry, flees the store and falls into Mocha Joe's arms. At the hospital for Tara's delivery, Larry runs into both of his knee doctors, who lock horns. Changing out of his uniform at the coffee shop, Joey inadvertently knocks over a self-heating mug with his penis, sparking a fire that engulfs both Latte Larry's and Mocha Joe's. The dispatched fire truck is delayed by Larry who, assuming the truck is engaging in siren abuse, does not allow it to pass. At the scene, a fireman confides to Larry that several of the café's design features hindered their efforts and may lead to the fire being considered arson. Mocha Joe and Alice, now a couple, purchase the house adjacent to Larry's out of spite and throw a raucous party.
