Why didn't you say you worked for Corleone, Tom? I thought you were just some cheap, two-bit hustler Johnny was running in trying to bluff me.
I don't like to use his name unless it's really necessary.

Page 5 of 7Say you love me, Michael.
Who are the girls?
That's for you to find out...
Get rid of them, Fredo.
Hey, Mike, uh...
Fredo, I'm here on business-- I leave tomorrow, now get rid of them. I'm tired.
[Talking to Johnny Fontane about Jack Woltz]

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.
[to Luca Brasi]
I'm a little worried about this Sollozzo fellow...Go to the Tattaglias and make them think that you're not too happy with our family. And find out what you can.
No Sicilian can refuse a request on his daughter's wedding day.
How long do you think it'll be before I came back?
At least a year, Mike. Listen, um, I'll square it with Mom, uh, you know, you're not seeing her before you leave; and uh, I'll get a message to that girlfriend, when I think the time is right.
You know how they're going to come at you?
They want to arrange a meeting between me and Barzini. On Tessio's ground. Where I'll be safe.
You break your father's heart!
My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator.
Do you know how naïve you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed.
Oh. Who's being naïve, Kay?
Oh Paulie... You won't see him no more.
I've always believed that being kind to your fellow man is profitable, in every sense. Both personally and bottom line.
Hey, get outta here, it's a private party, go on! What is it? Hey, it's my sister's wedding. Goddamn FBI don't respect nothin'.
[Michael is being drilled for a "hit" on Sollozzo and Capt. McCluskey]
All right, you just shot 'em both. Now what do you do?
Sit down and finish my dinner.
