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 (with pity):
If you live.
