Godfather ipsum dolor sit amet. You can act like a man! Te salut, Don Corleone. I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart! What’s the matter with you, huh? What am I going to do? Am I going to make that baby an orphan before he’s born? I see you took the name of the town. What was your father’s name?

Don’t you know that I would use all of my power to prevent something like that from happening? I don’t feel I have to wipe everybody out, Tom. Just my enemies. That’s my family Kay, that’s not me. My father taught me many things here – he taught me in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Never let anyone know what you are thinking.

I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse. It’s an old habit. I spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can afford to be careless, but not men. What’s wrong with being a lawyer? You talk about vengeance. Is vengeance going to bring your son back to you? Or my boy to me?

I don’t trust a doctor who can hardly speak English. Mr Corleone is Johnny Fontane’s godfather. Now Italians regard that as a very close, a very sacred religious relationship. I want your answer and the money by noon tomorrow. And one more thing. Don’t you contact me again, ever. From now on, you deal with Turnbull. Michael, you never told me you knew Johnny Fontane! If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone.

I am sorry. What happened to your father was business. I have much respect for your father. But your father, his thinking is old-fashioned. You must understand why I had to do that. Now let’s work through where we go from here. Do me this favor. I won’t forget it. Ask your friends in the neighborhood about me. They’ll tell you I know how to return a favor. Very well. You want to do business with me. I will do business with you. This one time, this one time I’ll let you ask me about my affairs. Sonny, please don’t do anything. Please don’t do anything.

We’re both part of the same hypocrisy, senator, but never think it applies to my family. Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgment. I don’t like violence, Tom. I’m a businessman; blood is a big expense. My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator.

Why did you go to the police? Why didn’t you come to me first? Leave the gun. Take the cannoli. The hotel, the casino. The Corleone Family wants to buy you out. I have a sentimental weakness for my children and I spoil them, as you can see. They talk when they should listen. Vito, how do you like my little angel? Isn’t she beautiful?

Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in. When they come… they come at what you love. I’m your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over! It’s a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes. In Sicily, women are more dangerous than shotguns.
