After they have all drank too much, after they have talked too long and laughed too hard and stayed too late, that is when Caroline starts in with her Deep Questions.  Betty sees it coming and she wants to leave.  She wants to load her husband Jimmy in the car and just go.  But all of the other couples are staying, and even Jimmy, drunk as he is, seems willing to play. Betty joins the others around the kitchen table and folds her arms on her chest.
