Who knew what, when, constitutes the sole suspense factor of the evening. A confirmed philanderer, Robert is not about to incite a showdown. But it goes rather deeper than that, into the realm of male bonding. Jerry does not really feel remorse about betraying his unseen wife, but he feels terribly guilty about betraying his best friend. Similarly, Robert complains that they never play squash any more...
