Don Vito Corleone: You can act like a man! What's the matter with you? Is this how you turned out, a Hollywood finocchio that cries like a woman? "Eheheh! What can I do? What can I do?" What is that nonsense? Ridiculous. I, uh, I wouldn't even have to act, just be myself.

Johnny Fontane: A month ago, he bought the movie rights to this book, a best-seller, and the main character, it's a guy just like me. Kay: What was that? Michael: Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his brains - or his signature - would be on the contract.

Kay: How'd he do that? Michael: My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse. And within an hour, he signed a release, for a certified check for $1,000. So the next day, my father went to see him, only this time with Luca Brasi. And my father went to see this band leader, and he offered him $10,000 to let Johnny go. And as his career got better and better, he wanted to get out of it. Michael Corleone: Well, when Johnny was first starting out, he was signed to this personal service contract with a big band leader. After all, we're not murderers, in spite of what this undertaker thinks. I want reliable people, people who aren't going to be carried away. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day. Someday-and that day may never come-I'll call upon you to do a service for me. And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, then that scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. How much shall I pay you? Vito: Bonasera, Bonasera. Bonasera: Let them suffer then, as she suffers. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder for money. You don't even think to call me Godfather. But, now you come to me, and you say: "Don Corleone, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect. You found paradise in America, you had a good trade, you made a good living, the police protected you, and there were courts of law. Bonasera: I didn't want to get into trouble. You never wanted my friendship and, uh, you were afraid to be in my debt. I can't remember the last time that you invited me to your house for a cup of coffee, even though my wife is godmother to your only child. Vito: We've known each other many years, but this is the first time you ever came to me for counsel or for help. Bonasera: I will give you anything you ask. Vito: What is that? Bonasera: I want them dead. Then I said to my wife, "For justice, we must go to Don Corleone." Don Vito Corleone: Why did you go to the police? Why didn't you come to me first? Bonasera: What do you want of me? Tell me anything, but do what I beg you to do.

Suspended sentence! They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool, and those two bastards, they smiled at me. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison, and suspended the sentence. I went to the police, like a good American. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life. She couldn't even weep because of the pain, but I wept. Her jaw was shattered, held together by wire. When I went to the hospital her nose was broken. She kept her honor, so they beat her like an animal. They made her drink whiskey and then they tried to take advantage of her. Two months ago he took her for a drive, with another boy friend. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family. America has made my fortune, and I raised my daughter in the American fashion.
