Capt. Nately:
Don't you have any principles? Old man in whorehouse:
Of course not! Capt. Nately:
No morality? Old man in whorehouse:
I'm a very moral man, and Italy is a very moral country. That's why we will certainly come out on top again if we succeed in being defeated. Capt. Nately:
You talk like a madman. Old man in whorehouse:
But I live like a sane one. I was a fascist when Mussolini was on top. Now that he has been deposed, I am anti-fascist. When the Germans were here, I was fanatically pro-German. Now I'm fanatically pro-American. You'll find no more loyal partisan in all of Italy than myself. Capt. Nately:
You're a shameful opportunist! What you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. Old man in whorehouse:
You have it backwards. It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. I know. Capt. Nately:
How do you know? Old man in whorehouse:
Because I am 107-years-old. How old are you? Capt. Nately:
I'll be 20 in January. Old man in whorehouse:
If you live
