You see, Italy is a very poor, weak country and that is what makes us so strong, strong enough to survive this war and still be in existence, long after your country has been destroyed.
Capt. Nately
What are you talking about? America is not going to be destroyed.
Old man in whorehouse

Capt. Nately

Rome was destroyed. Greece was destroyed. Persia was destroyed. Spain was destroyed. All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours? How much longer do you think your country will last? Forever?
Capt. Nately
Well, forever is a long time.
Old man in whorehouse
Very long.
