In both cases, Benny says that detours that occur along the way are tolerable because there is a defined ending.

Explanation:

When Benny discusses jazz music, he suggests that when musicians wander away from the melody in the middle of a song, it is OK because “in the end, they’re going to come back to the melody.” In the same way, Benny suggests that in a love story, “whatever happens along the way . . . doesn’t matter because in the end . . . you know either they are going to get together or they’re not.” In both cases, the detours or distractions that occur in the middle of the song or the story are tolerable because the ending is defined.
