Bob Collier:
Two hundred and ninety nine. David:
What? Bob Collier:
Two hundred and ninety nine, I said, don't tell me you don't know what that means David. I think your old man knows what it means don't you Howe? That's your goddamn birthday David. For when they pulled the numbers out for the draft card lottery. Two ninety-nine, that's the number that saved your ass from having to go and fight in Vietnam! Would you like to know what Jeremy's number was? It was eight, eight, EIGHT! [throws cloth at David] Bob Collier:
Don't you ever tell me what to say or what I can't say in my own house, or I'll take this goddamn turkey and shove it down your throat!
