It makes one wonder why his wife didn’t move over a few seats when he went out of the auditorium to see managemen.
or what his wife was doing during the argument and why she didn’t intervene as the other wife was trying to do???
Was this a surprise to her or was he building up to this???
It would be interesting to know this. For now, I'm going with "big sigh of relief that he didn't get to come home."
