I suppose you’ll use this drama as a reason to have another affair. I feel sorry for the next delivery man that comes to this house!

— The Ref • 1994

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker sarcastically predicts that the current drama will simply become an excuse for another affair. The mock sympathy for the next delivery man to visit the house turns the accusation into a jab, suggesting the other person's infidelity is habitual and that a bystander will pay for it.
