View Quote [flashback to Vito's birthday on December 7, 1941]
Sonny: Ah, say, what do you think of the nerve of those Japs? Them slanty-eyed bastards, huh? Dropping bombs in our backyard, and on Pop's birthday, you know.
Fredo: Now, they didn't know it was Pop's birthday.
Sonny: "They didn't know it was Pop's birthday."
Tom: We should have expected it after the oil embargo.
Sonny: What do you mean, expected it? Expect it or not, they have no right dropping bombs. What are you, a Jap lover or something? Are you on their side?
Tessio: I understand thirty thousand men enlisted this morning.
Sonny: A bunch of saps.
Michael: Why are they saps?
Connie: Sonny, come on, we don't have to talk about the war.
Sonny: [to Connie] Hey, beat it. You go talk to Carlo, alright? [to Michael] They're saps, because they risk their lives for strangers.
Michael: Now that's Pop talking.
Sonny: You're goddamn right that's Pop talking.
Michael: They risk— they risk their lives for their country.
Sonny: Your country ain't your blood. You remember that.
Michael: I don't feel that way.
Sonny: "I don't feel that way." Well, if you don't feel that way, why don't you just quit college and go to-- go to join the Army?
Michael: I did. I enlisted in the Marines.
Tom: [after a silence] Michael, why? Why didn't you come to us? I mean Pop had to pull a lot of strings to get you a deferment.
Michael: I didn't ask for it. I didn't ask for a deferment and I didn't want it.

Tessio: Sonny!
Sonny: Punk!

Fredo: That's swell. Congratulations. [extends his hand to Michael]
Sonny: [pushing Fredo's hand aside] Yeah, go on. Encourage him. I want— I want you to get me a drink. Go on. [Fredo exits]
Tom: Now you don't understand but, uh, your father has big plans for you. Now, many times he and I have talked about your future.

Michael: Well, I have my own plans for my future.
