My only gripe, and it really does not matter in the scheme of things, is Larry's lack of explanation to his lawyer on why the cheese was in Suzie's fridge. That is the whole point of the transaction. Larry asked to keep it there and even explained when he would pick it up. This is one of the few examples where either Larry is 100% right or 100% wrong, and it takes away from the humor. Nobody is going to side with Suzie once you break it down. Also, the show sort of contradicted itself. 15 minutes earlier she ripped the sandwich out of Jeff's hand. Now, she is making him a melt?

yeah, the inconsistencies are a little glaring sometimes.

My only guess is that, because they are improvising everything, it can be easy to forget things. Also, if they are filming shite out of order, I could imagine it playing out something like this:

-Films scene where Larry confronts the Greenes about the cheese. Susie Essman is improvising and randomly thinks up a use for the cheese and throws out the "melt" line.

-later, they film scene where Larry offers Jeff the sandwich. Susie Essman thinks it would be funny to be a hardass and deprive Jeff of the sandwich.


I'd imagine once they go down a line of improvised dialogue they are trying to make it as funny as possible without too much regard for some of the details, which is fine ultimately
