[Chichiri]

"Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. Bingo!

[texanwitch]

[ET Awful]

4. "Leave the gun, take the canoli"

For some reason that one always got me.

[Chichiri]

5. "Leave the gun. Take the canoli."

[Chichiri]

Yargh! ET Awful beat me to it.

Well then . . .

"Oh, Pauli? You won't be seeing him no more."

[Bunny]

6. Here's a few:

James Caan (Sonny Corleone): I want someone good, I mean very good, to plant that gun. I don't want my brother coming out of the bathroom with just his dick in his hands.


Don Michael Corleone: I know it was you Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!


Fredo Corleone (John Cazale): Send Fredo off to do this! Send Fredo off to do that! Let Fredo take care of some Mickey Mouse night club somewhere! Send Fredo to pick somebody up at the airport. I'm your older brother Mike, and I was stepped over!
Don Michael Corleone: That's the way Pop wanted it.
Fredo Corleone: It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says, like dumb! I'm smart and I want respect!

7. "She was beautiful! She was young....."

"She was beautiful! She was young! She was innocent! She was the greatest piece of ass I've ever had, and I've had 'em all over the world!"



He sleeps with the horses now.

[charlie]

9. The preface to that

makes it all the slimier.

"And let me be even more frank, just to show you that I'm not a hard-hearted man, and that it's not all dollars and cents!"

[charlie]

8. I didn't ask who gave the order...

...because it had NOTHING TO DO WITH BUSINESS!

[ET Awful]

10. MIchael, we're bigger than US Steel

:)

That line was an actual quote from Meyer Lansky (the person on whom the character of Hyman Roth was based).

[bridgit]

11. Jack Woltz: "Johnny Fontane never gets that movie...

That part is perfect for him, it'll make him a big star, and I'm gonna run him out of the business - and let me tell you why: Johnny Fontane ruined one of Woltz International's most valuable proteges. For five years we had her under training - singing lessons, acting lessons, dancing lessons. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on her, I was gonna make her a big star. And let me be even more frank, just to show you that I'm not a hard-hearted man, and that it's not all dollars and cents: She was beautiful; she was young; she was innocent. She was the greatest piece of ass I've ever had, and I've had 'em all over the world. And then Johnny Fontane comes along with his olive oil voice and guinea charm, and she runs off. She threw it all away just to make me look ridiculous! And a man in my position can't afford to be made to look ridiculous!

[Chichiri]

12. Thank you for dinner and a pleasant evening.

If your car could take me to the airport . . . Mr. Corleone is a man who insists on hearing bad news immediately.

[bridgit]

14. Someday, and that day may never come...

I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as gift on my daughter's wedding day.

[Elidor]

13. "What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?"

Vaffanculo!

[robertpaulsen]

15. "Buffahs. Yeah, the family had a lot of buffahs" (courtroom laughter)

Trivia test: Who said that?

[Bucky]

16. Just when I thought I was out

they dragged me back in again.

or "pulled". I can't remember now.

[brentspeak]

17. Sal: "Tom, can you get me off the hook? For old times' sake?"

Tom: "Can't do it, Sally."

[Kraklen]

18. My father's name was Antonio Andolini -- and this is for you.

Best part of the trilogy.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

19. Come see me in another six months. Of course, the dog stays...

:toast:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. Here's one:

"Do you know who I am? I'm Moe Greene! I was making my bones when you were going out with cheerleaders!"

[driver8]

21. "Now you listen to me, you smooth talking son of a bitch."

Jack Woltz: Now you listen to me, you smooth talking son-of-a-bitch. Let me lay it on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is. Johnny Fontane will never get that movie. I don't care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork.

[driver8]

22. From Godfather III

Michael Corleone: If there is some guy running around this city saying, "Fuck Michael Corleone," what do we do with a piece of shit like that? He's a fucking dog.

Joey Zasa: Yes it's true. If anyone would say such a thing, they would not be a friend. They would be a dog.

Here is a side note. My wife and I were having lunch one day in Burbank and Joe Montagna was having lunch with his wife. He held the door for my wife and I to go in. I told my wife "Joey Zasa just held the door for us!!"
