The Godfather Part III quotes
Page 2 of 4Tell me what to do. Then I will tell you my price.
Uncle Michael, listen - I know you're into banks and Wall Street, but everyone knows you're the final word, you're like the Supreme Court. All I want to do is protect you from these guys and your lawyers can't do that.
The Pope, is gravely ill. Until he recovers, I am powerless.
What if he dies?
Then, as you Americans say, all bets are off.
The Pope's doing exactly what you said he'd do, he's cleaning house.
He should be careful. It's dangerous to be an honest man.
Would you like to make your confession?
Your eminence, I'm— It's been so long. I wouldn't know where to— It's been 30 years. I'd use up too much of your time, I think.
I always have time to save souls.
Oh, I'm beyond redemption.
I hear the confessions of my own priests here. Sometimes the desire to confess is overwhelming, and we must seize the moment.
What is the point of confessing if I don't repent?
I hear you are a practical man. What have you got to lose, huh? Go on.
I, uh... I betrayed my wife.
Go on, my son.
I betrayed myself. I killed men, and I ordered men to be killed.
Go on, my son. Go on.
Ah, it's useless.
Go on, my son.
I killed... I ordered the death of my brother. He injured me. [sobbing] I killed my mother's son. I killed my father's son!
Your sins are terrible, and it is just that you suffer. Your life could be redeemed, but I know you do not believe that. You will not change. Ego te absolvo in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
Now they'll fear you. Michael.
Maybe they should fear YOU!
This is the hero who put Joey Zasa in his grave. If we'd known of his existence, we would never have backed Joey.
No one wants another Joe.
Treachery is everywhere.
You still have your fingers on the strings, even now.
You are my 'ace in the hole,' as we say in America. I have a stone in my shoe. You can remove it.
Only one stone?
It's not personal. It's business.
Very well. You want to do business with me. I will do business with you.
It's your favorite song, Michael, where you going?
I'm just gonna go into the kitchen and listen to some Tony Bennett records.
The sicker you get, the wiser you get, huh?
When I'm dead I'm gonna be really smart.
I'll always love you.
Love somebody else.
Don't ever again give that kind of order. Not while I'm alive. You understand?
Uncle Mike, it had to be done. You were too sick to make a decision. I got the go-ahead from Neri. I got the go-ahead from Connie.
Connie.
It was the right thing to do.
It was the wrong thing to do. I command this family, right or wrong. It was not what I WANTED! [composes himself for a beat] Understand?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Vincent, help me to my bed. I want to talk to you alone. [in his room] Your father, my brother...he and I. Opposites. But I never doubted his love. He would do anything for me. But his temper. It was too much. Clouded his judgement. I don't want to see the same thing happen to you.
