Larry David feels much the same way. In Episode 13 of "Curb your enthusiasm", Larry caused an incident by not giving candy to two teenagers who refused to dress up for Halloween (it didn't even get to the point of asking them for a "trick"). The kids responded by throwing toilet paper in his yard and writing graffitti all over his house. The police chided Larry for not giving them candy because of a "social contract" in which if kids knock on your door on Halloween you're supposed to give them candy. Larry felt he was being discriminated against because one of the kids wrote "bald asshole" on his door.

Directed by: Larry Charles First aired: October 7, 2001 Synopsis: Larry and Cheryl attend the premiere of a movie written by his handicapped friend Cliff Cobb, during which Larry manages to offend a Jewish neighbor, alienate Cliff (as well as the memory of his salad-inventing grandfather), and send out misguided romantic overtures to Cliff's wife Shelly. Later, the Davids experience the "trick" side of Halloween when Larry refuses to give candy to two uncostumed teenagers. Having failed to secure a bracelet for his wife on her birthday, Larry makes amends with the perfect gift on a romantic morning -- until Jeff arrives to pick him up for a round of golf. |
