You know when that kid shares the fact his girlfriend is pregnant?

Towards the beginning here...he's talking about his French girlfriend...from the flower shop. And she wants to keep the baby.
And the other guy is like, "Well you have a serious problem then"...on account of her being French and having a German's baby...
How would anyone know? She's pregnant, has a kid...its not like it comes out wearing a little Hitler stash (sorry)...

Just was an emphasized moment, how screwed that girl is...I'm just not quite picking up on how, I guess...

All he said was that he had "a serious problem then." Obviously because it's the early 40s and his French girlfriend is pregnant and wants to keep the baby, emphasis on (1) "early 40s," (2) "French," (3) "girlfriend," aka not wife, and (4) "wants to keep the baby."
