[to Sollozzo]

I must say no to you, and I'll give you my reasons. It's true. I have a lot of friends in politics, but they wouldn't be friendly very long if they knew my business was drugs instead of gambling, which they rule that as a - a harmless vice. But drugs is a dirty business...It makes, it doesn't make any difference to me what a man does for a living, understand. But your business, is uh, a little dangerous.

Aw, you're telling me that the Tattaglias guarantee our investment?

I have a sentimental weakness for my children, and I spoil them, as you can see. They talk when they should listen.
