Quote context

[...]

- Whatever you may think of me...

- Let's not go into that.

- Well, as I said before, it's all my fault. It would be unjust to make Jenny suffer for my thoughtlessness.

- Now, look here. I know you think you're pretty smart, smarter than a dumb parole officer. Well, maybe you are, but you're up against an organization that's too big for you. You can't beat the whole parole set-up.

- I don't intend to try.

- All right, if you care about Jenny as much as you seem to, you'll cooperate from now on, or it's going to be just too bad.

- What am I expected to do?

- Leave her alone!

- Has it occurred to you that you're making the conditions unnecessarily difficult?

- Jenny cares for me.

- You're setting up a situation full of hazards and temptations.

- I'm aware of that.

- I think the hazards will be greater if she sees you. You'll invite her to break rules, because you look on rules as things invented for suckers. You think the guy who gets away with things is smart.

- What if I do stay away? She'll start seeing me again when she's free. She'll be as badly off as ever by your standards.

- Well, I'm counting on her forgetting you. I'm counting on her meeting some normal, decent people.
