START: Pete: I mean, if your wife forgives you, or I forgive Jane, then that’s an invitation to do it all over again.
[Leon: No.]
Pete: That’s like saying, hey, I understand, you’re human, you’re fallible…
[Leon: You’re really black and white about things, aren’t you?
Pete: [About this I am, yeah. You’re human, you’re fallible.] You’ve made a mistake. But that’s not a mistake.
[... … ... ]
END: Pete: You’ve gone into something and you won’t get out of it without someone being hurt. That’s why I left. Because there are repercussions and to forgive is to say those repercussions don’t matter. But they do matter. To me they matter.
