Cruz has a little bomb on his hands. He knows her. He's seen her brought home by cops who are concerned that she should be sectioned. He has to be careful that something he says is going to set her off. She knows he's a lying sack of crap, and is trying to sort out whether she wants to look like an ass for the rest of her life. Teddy couldn't answer because he hears the hissing of the fuse.
“He’s seen her brought home by cops who are concerned that she should be sectioned”
What does that mean.
However, you say something I hadn’t thought of, namely, that claiming he’s been faithful might anger his mistresses.
But still ... Why not just lie? Tell them, "I never cheated on my wife?". If this Amanda is so goofy that the cops wanted her in a mental institution, who's going to believe any more than they already do?
