Godfather ipsum dolor sit amet. Why did you go to the police? Why didn’t you come to me first? My father taught me many things here—he taught me in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. What’s the matter with you? Is this what you’ve become, a Hollywood finocchio who cries like a woman? “Oh, what do I do? What do I do?” What is that nonsense? Ridiculous! The hotel, the casino. The Corleone Family wants to buy you out. Vito, how do you like my little angel? Isn’t she beautiful?
Sonny, please don’t do anything. Please don’t do anything. Leave the gun. Take the cannoli. I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse. Hey, listen, I want someone good—and I mean really good—to plant that gun. I don’t want my brother coming out of that bathroom with just his dick in his hands, alright? I don’t feel like I have to wipe everyone out, Tom. Just my enemies.
You can act like a man! If there’s one thing in life that’s certain, if history has taught us anything, it’s that you can kill anyone. You talk about revenge. Is revenge going to bring your son back to you? Or my boy back to me? My father’s name was Antonio Andolini… and this is for you. It’s a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi is sleeping with the fishes.
Your enemies always grow stronger on what you leave behind. Is that why you slapped my brother in public? It’s not personal. It’s business. What’s wrong with being a lawyer? I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!
I’m sorry. What happened to your father was business. I have a lot of respect for your father. But your father’s way of thinking is old-fashioned. You have to understand why I had to do that. Now let’s figure out what to do next. My father is no different from any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or a senator. Why are you hurting me, Michael? I’ve always been loyal to you. When they come… they come after what you love. Michael, you never told me you knew Johnny Fontane!
