Yes Larry David has millions of dollars, unlimited opportunities in Hollywood and enough resources to come out on top, even when he clearly loses.

She asks Larry if they could adopt a family who was affected by the storm and take care of them until they got back on their feet. To this, Larry says hell no.

This is the easiest question in the world for Larry to answer, he doesn't care who's watching or who will judge – because he knows if he gets a pass from Cheryl, he isn't going to waste that pass on Cheryl, he's going to go for Richard Lewis's young girlfriend Cha Cha (Tia Carrere).
