Famous sayings from the Godfather: ![]() "You come to my house, on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do a murder for money." Someday - and that day may never come - I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as gift on my daughter's wedding day. ![]() It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Barzini's dead. So is Phillip Tattaglia -- Moe Greene -- Strachi -- Cuneo -- Today I settle all Family business, so don't tell me you're innocent, Carlo. ![]() "But I'm a superstitious man. And if some unlucky accident should befall him - If he should get shot in the head by a police officer, or if he should hang himself in his jail cell - or if he's struck by a bolt of lightning, them I'm going to blame some of the people in this room, and that I do not forgive. But, that aside, let me say that I swear, on the souls of my grandchildren, that I will not be the one to break the peace we've made here today." ![]() Leave the gun. Take the cannolis. "Oh, Paulie? You won't see him no more." ![]() "I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life--I don't apologize--to take care of my family, and I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those bigshots. I don't apologize--that's my life--but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. " I spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can be careless. But not men.
"Mr. Corleone is a man who insists on hearing bad news immediately."
I said that I would see you because I had heard that you were a serious man, to be treated with respect. But I must say no to you and let me give you my reasons. It's true I have a lot of friends in politics, but they wouldn't be so friendly if they knew my business was drugs instead of gambling which they consider a harmless vice. But drugs, that's a dirty business.
They want to arrange a meeting between me and Barzini. On Tessio's ground. Where I'll be safe.
It was you Fredo. I know it was you. You broke my heart. You broke my heart.
I don't feel I have to wipe everybody out, Tom. Just my enemies. There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone. Hyman Roth has been dying from the same heart attack for the last twenty years. "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." Tom. Can you get me off the hook? You know, for old times sake? Tattaglia's a pimp. He never could've out-fought Santino. But I didn't know until this day that it was Barzini all along. A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man." |
