Hi,

The explanation of this dialogue:

[Snoopy_Blah_Blah]

Is forget it a really polite way to answer? Could it have had a hint of dissapointment, because I either didn't understand what a pesron was trying to say or pretended to not understand, for it was rather unpleasant. And in that case forget it sounded bitter.
