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.
"They didn't know it was Pop's birthday."
Tom
We should have expected it after the oil embargo.
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?
I understand thirty thousand men enlisted this morning.
A bunch of saps.
Why are they saps?
Connie
Sonny, come on, we don't have to talk about the war.
Hey, beat it. You go talk to Carlo, alright? [to Michael] They're saps, because they risk their lives for strangers.
Now that's Pop talking.
You're goddamn right that's Pop talking.
They risk— they risk their lives for their country.
Your country ain't your blood. You remember that.
I don't feel that way.
"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?
I did. I enlisted in the Marines.
Tom
Michael, why? Why didn't you come to us? I mean Pop had to pull a lot of strings to get you a deferment.
I didn't ask for it. I didn't ask for a deferment and I didn't want it.
What's wrong—
Tom
Come on. Come on! Knock it off!
Sonny!
Punk!
Sonny. Sonny, sit down.
Go on.
Sit down.
One of Sonny's twins: Mommy, Daddy's fighting again! [laughs]
Go show Carlo the tree.
One of Sonny's twins: Uncle Michael, Mama.
Nice. Real nice. Break your father's heart on his birthday.
Fredo
That's swell. Congratulations. [extends his hand to Michael]
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.
You talked to my father about my future? My future?
Tom
Mikey, he has high hopes for you!
Well, I have my own plans for my future.
What'd you go to college to get stupid? You're really stupid.
Connie
He's here! Come on!
Come on. Come on. [goes to exit before glancing back to Michael] Stupid.
[All exit while Michael sits at he table alone]
