In the beginning of the movie, we see him in an "extramarital tryst" when Tom comes to get him for the meeting with Johnny Fontane. "Do you spend time with your family? Good.

One of the most paradox statements in the entire movie is when Michaels says to Kay, "That's my family, Kay. It's not me". One of the themes in the movie is Michael's trans...
