Which is correct: "between me and Larry" or "between Larry and I"?

Question

Which is correct?

In this case, it's me and Larry (or Larry and me) because you are the objects of the preposition "between". See this question on ELL for some more details. — Hellion, Dec 23 '14 at 18:28
The pro-tip for figuring out which is to remove the other person. Which sounds right: "worked up between me" or "worked up between I"? — Digital Chris, Dec 23 '14 at 18:37

Since "between" governs the phrase, the pronoun must be in the objective case; "between Larry and me" is correct.

Who worked up the plan? Larry and I did.

Who was the plan worked up between? It was worked up between Larry and me.

Larry and me is the correct choice.

The sentence feels awkward to me, I would probably say "Worked up by me and Larry"
