Old man in whorehouse:
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:
Never?
Capt. Nately:
Well...
Old man in whorehouse:
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.
