You think I've got some idea? I'm not blaming you for every life that's been lost. What happened in Trost was different and you know that, it's different from what's happened otherwise, and what decisions we might need to make in the future. [Jean's referring to a wide range of things, but he isn't outlining all of them. He doesn't see any point to it.]

But when it comes to life here, I don't know where to begin. But I know how to choose what I don't want to do. I don't want to be protected from it, and I don't want you making choices based on what I'm not willing to do myself. That's just stupid, and the exact opposite of what I'm trying to say her. So why don't you listen to that? We can protect this world, and we can protect humanity in a way that's different from what we're being trained into back home. [Or attempted to be, at any rate. Jean is still very resistant to that.]

I know you'll protect me. You have. Keep doing it that way, rather than just because you think I'm against getting blood on my hands. You think that makes the blood any less visible for me? 'Cause it doesn't.
