Tin Can:
[after declining to attend Mike's burial]
Look. I had an uncle, lived in the old country, see. A real high-class guy, not like me. You know what he was? He was a teacher of philosophy. And to be that in Greece, the very home of philosophy, you've got to be A-number-one smart, and that was my uncle. So they killed him, them Nazis. They stood him up against the wall, and you know why? Because he had brains. Because everybody's gotta be their slave, and them that won't, like my uncle, they kill! [pauses with emotion] Tin Can:
My old man was no good. He was a boozer, and died in bed havin' the DTs. But my uncle, a man with education in his head and charity in his heart, who used to send my ma what to eat with when we were kids - him They stood up against the wall, and that sticks in here with me. That the difference between them and us, is that with us, even the no-good gets a chance to die in his own bed. So I don't forget my uncle. I read where one of our fliers gets killed, and I think of my uncle. And I see pictures of those little Chinese kids getting bombed, and I think of my uncle! And I read where a Russian guerrilla gets hanged and I think of my uncle, And I see Mike lyin' in there dead from a Jap killer and I think of my uncle, and I ain't got no room in here to see one of our guys get buried! [pounds on his chest] Tin Can:
Not yet, not till I've done something to even out the score! So I eat with it, and I sleep with it... so be sore at me, you dopes!
