I'one thousand gonna make him an offer he tin't reject. Now, yous just go exterior and enjoy yourself, and, uh, forget about all this nonsense. I want yous, I want you to leave it all to me.

Where does information technology say that you lot tin can't kill a cop? I'm talking about a cop that'due south mixed upward in drugs. I'm talking nearly a dishonest cop and a crooked cop who got mixed up in the rackets and got what was coming to him. It's not personal, Sonny. It'southward strictly business.

Leave the gun. Have the cannoli.

The Godfather is a 1972 film most a Mafia crime family unit and the outbreak of a New York City gang war in the late 1940s.

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Written by Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo, based on Puzo'due south novel.

An offer you can't refuse.

Vito Corleone [edit]

[to Bonasera] I desire y'all to use all your powers, and all your skills. I don't want his mother to see him this mode. [pulls canvass to reveal Sonny's bullet-ridden body] Look how they massacred my boy.

I spent my whole life trying not to exist careless. Women and children can afford to exist devil-may-care, just not men.

Friendship is everything. Friendship is more than talent. Information technology is more than the authorities. It is almost the equal of family.

You lot cannot say "no" to the people you lot love, non frequently. That's the hush-hush. And and so when you practise, information technology has to sound like a "yes" or you have to make them say "no." You have to take fourth dimension and trouble.

Peter Clemenza [edit]

[to Rocco Lampone, afterwards Rocco has killed Paulie Gatto] Go out the gun. Have the cannoli.

Moe Greene [edit]

Son of a bitch! Practise yous know who I am? I'm Moe Greene! I fabricated my bones when you were going out with cheerleaders!

Dialogue [edit]

Amerigo Bonasera: I believe in America. America has made my fortune, and I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, simply I taught her never to dishonor her family. She constitute a boyfriend, non an Italian. She went to the movies with him. She stayed out tardily. I didn't protest. 2 months agone he took her for a drive, with another boy friend. They made her drink whiskey and then they tried to accept advantage of her. She resisted. She kept her accolade, so they beat her like an fauna. When I went to the hospital her olfactory organ was broken. Her jaw was shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't even weep considering of the pain, only I wept. Why did I weep? She was the calorie-free of my life. A beautiful girl. Now she volition never be beautiful again. [sobs] Sorry. I went to the constabulary, similar a skilful American. These 2 boys were brought to trial. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison, and suspended the sentence. Suspended sentence! They went gratuitous that very solar day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool, and those 2 bastards, they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, "For justice, nosotros must go to Don Corleone."

Don Vito Corleone: Why did you become to the police? Why didn't y'all come to me first?

Bonasera: What do you lot want of me? Tell me anything, merely practice what I beg yous to do.

Vito: What is that?

Bonasera: [whispering in Vito's ear] I want them dead.

Vito: That I cannot do.

Bonasera: I will give you anything you ask.

Vito: Nosotros've known each other many years, only this is the first time y'all ever came to me for counsel or for help. I can't call back the concluding time that you lot invited me to your firm for a cup of coffee, even though my wife is godmother to your only child. But let'southward be frank hither. You never wanted my friendship and, uh, y'all were agape to exist in my debt.

Bonasera: I didn't want to go into trouble.

Vito: I sympathize. You found paradise in America, yous had a practiced merchandise, yous fabricated a practiced living, the police protected you lot, and there were courts of law. Y'all didn't need a friend like me. But, now you come to me, and you say: "Don Corleone, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect. Y'all don't offer friendship. You don't fifty-fifty call up to call me Godfather. Instead, you lot come into my house on the twenty-four hour period my daughter is to be married, and you inquire me to do murder for coin.

Bonasera: I ask for justice.

Vito: That is not justice. Your daughter is still alive.

Bonasera: Let them suffer then, as she suffers. How much shall I pay you?

Vito: Bonasera, Bonasera. What have I e'er done to brand y'all treat me and then disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, and then that scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very 24-hour interval. And if by risk an honest man like yourself should make enemies, and so they would get my enemies. And and then they would fear you.

Bonasera: Exist my friend, Godfather. [kisses Vito'southward paw]

Vito: Practiced. Someday—and that day may never come up—I'll phone call upon you to exercise a service for me. But until that day, take this justice as a gift on my daughter's hymeneals day.

Bonasera: Grazie, Godfather.

Vito: Prego. [Bonasera leaves, and Don Corleone turns to Tom] Requite this to, uh, Clemenza. I want reliable people, people who aren't going to be carried away. Later on all, we're not murderers, in spite of what this undertaker thinks.

Michael Corleone: Well, when Johnny was showtime starting out, he was signed to this personal service contract with a big ring leader. And every bit his career got better and meliorate, he wanted to get out of it. Now, Johnny is my father'southward godson. And my father went to see this ring leader, and he offered him $10,000 to permit Johnny go. But the band leader said no. Then the next solar day, my begetter went to see him, just this time with Luca Brasi. And within an hour, he signed a release, for a certified check for $1,000.

Kay: How'd he do that?

Michael: My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Kay: What was that?

Michael: Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my begetter bodacious him that either his brains - or his signature - would be on the contract. That's a truthful story. That's my family, Kay. Information technology's not me.

Johnny Fontane: A calendar month ago, he [Woltz] bought the movie rights to this book, a best-seller, and the chief graphic symbol, it'south a guy just like me. I, uh, I wouldn't even have to human activity, just be myself. [choking up] Oh, Godfather, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.

Don Vito Corleone: [shaking Johnny] Y'all can human action similar a man! [He slaps Johnny.] What's the affair with you? Is this how you lot turned out, a Hollywood finocchio that cries like a adult female? "Eheheh! What tin I do? What can I do?" What is that nonsense? Ridiculous. You lot spend fourth dimension with your family unit?

Johnny: Sure I do.

Vito: Good, because a human being who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man. Come up hither. You look terrible. I want you to consume. I want you to rest a while, and in a month from now, this Hollywood bigshot's gonna give you what you want.

Johnny: Information technology'south as well belatedly, they outset shooting in a week.

Vito: I'thou gonna make him an offering he can't refuse. Now, yous merely get outside and enjoy yourself, and, uh, forget about all this nonsense. I want you, I want you to exit information technology all to me.

The line in bold is ranked #2 in American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations.

Vito Corleone: [to Sollozzo] I must say no to yous, and I'll give you my reasons. Information technology's truthful, I have a lot of friends in politics, but they wouldn't be friendly very long if they knew my concern was drugs instead of gambling, which they regard as a – a harmless vice. Only drugs is a dingy business concern. It makes, it doesn't make whatever deviation to me what a human does for a living, understand. Just your business is, uh, a piddling unsafe.

Virgil "The Turk" Sollozzo: If y'all're worried about security for your million, the Tattaglias volition guarantee information technology.

Santino "Sonny" Corleone: Oh, you're telling me that the Tattaglias guarantee our investment?

Vito: Await a minute. I have a sentimental weakness for my children, and I spoil them, as you tin can see. They talk when they should mind. But anyway, Signor Sollozzo, my "no" is concluding and I wish to congratulate you on your new business. I know you'll do very well, and good luck to you, especially since your interests don't conflict with mine. Thank y'all. [Sollozzo leaves] Santino, come hither. What's the affair with you? I think your brain'due south going soft from all that comedy you're playing with that young girl. Never tell anybody outside the family what yous're thinking again.

Virgil "the Turk" Sollozzo: Your boss is dead. I know you're not in the muscle-terminate of the family, Tom, then I don't desire you to be scared. I desire yous to help the Corleones, and I want you lot to help me. [hands Tom a drink.] Yeah, we got him outside his part just about an hour after we picked you up. Drink it. And then at present it'south up to you to make the peace between me and Sonny. Sonny was hot for my idea, wasn't he? And you knew information technology was the right thing to do.

Tom Hagen: Sonny'll come afterward you with everything he'due south got.

Sollozzo: That'll be his outset reaction, certain. That'south why you gotta talk some sense into him. The Tattaglia family is behind me with all their people. The other New York families will keep with anything that will prevent a total-calibration state of war. Let'southward face information technology, Tom, and all due respect, the Don, rest in peace, was slipping. Ten years ago, could I have gotten to him? Well, now, he'due south dead. He's dead, Tom, and nothing tin can bring him dorsum, so you gotta talk to Sonny. Yous gotta talk to the caporegimes, that Tessio and that fat Clemenza. Information technology's proficient business, Tom.

Tom: I'll attempt, but even Sonny won't be able to call off Luca Brasi.

Sollozzo: Yeah, well, let me worry virtually Luca. You but talk to Sonny and the other 2 kids.

Tom: I'll practice my all-time.

Sollozzo: Good. At present, you tin can go. I don't similar violence, Tom. I'1000 a business organization man. Claret is a large expense. [receives news from an arriving automobile] He'due south still alive. They hit him with five shots, and he'south still alive! Well, that's bad luck for me, and bad luck for you if you don't make that deal!

[Sonny opens a package to discover two fish wrapped in Luca'southward bulletproof belong.]

Santino "Sonny" Corleone: What the hell is this?

Salvatore Tessio: Information technology'due south a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.

Note: The line in assuming was nominated for the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 motion picture quotations.

Michael: Who are you?

Enzo: I am Enzo, the baker. You lot recall me?

Michael: Enzo.

Enzo: Aye, Enzo.

Michael: You'd better get out of here, Enzo, there's gonna be problem.

Enzo: If in that location is trouble, I'll stay here to help you. For your father. For your father.

Michael: Mind. Wait for me outside in front of the hospital, all right? I'll exist out in a minute. Get ahead.

Enzo: OK, OK.

Tom Hagen: This is business organisation, not personal!

Santino "Sonny" Corleone: They shot my male parent. Information technology's concern, your ass!

Tom: Even shooting your father was business, not personal, Sonny!

Michael Corleone: They wanna have a meeting with me, right? Information technology will exist me - McCluskey - and Sollozzo. Let's set the meeting. Get our informers to discover out where it'south gonna be held. At present, we insist information technology's a public place, a bar, a eating place, some place where there's people and so I feel safe. They're gonna search me when I first run into them, right? And so I tin't have a weapon on me then. But if Clemenza tin figure a way, to have a weapon planted at that place for me, then I'll kill 'em both.

Santino "Sonny" Corleone: [laughing, along with the others] Hey, what are ya gonna practise, nice college boy, eh? Didn't desire to get mixed up in the family unit business huh? Now you lot wanna gun downwardly a law captain. Why? Because he slapped you in the face a little bit? Hah? What do yous think this is, the Army? Where you shoot 'em a mile away? Y'all've gotta get up close like this and bada-bing! You lot blow their brains all over your overnice Ivy League suit. [He kisses Michael's head.] You're taking this very personal.

Michael: Where does it say that you can't kill a cop? I'm talking virtually a cop that's mixed up in drugs. I'm talking about a dishonest cop and a crooked cop who got mixed up in the rackets and got what was coming to him. It's non personal, Sonny. It'south strictly business.

Peter Clemenza: [shows Michael a revolver] This is as common cold as they come, impossible to trace, so yous don't worry about prints, Mike. I put a special tape on the trigger and the butt. Hither, effort information technology. [Michael takes the revolver] What'sa matter? The trigger besides tight?

Michael Corleone: No. [He fires] Ah, my ears.

Clemenza: Yep, I left information technology noisy. That mode, information technology scares any pain-in-the-ass innocent bystanders abroad. All right, y'all shot 'em both. Now what do yous practice?

Michael: Sit downwardly, finish my dinner.

Clemenza: Come up on, kid. Don't fool around. Only allow your hand drop to your side, and let the gun slip out. Everybody'll still think you got it. They're gonna be staring at your face, Mike, so walk out of the place real fast, but don't run. Don't await nobody directly in the eye, but you don't look away either. Eh, they're gonna be scared potent of y'all, believe me, and so don't worry near nothing. Yous know, you gonna turn out all right. You lot take a long holiday, nobody knows where, and we gonna catch the hell.

Michael: How bad exercise yous remember it's gonna be?

Clemenza: Pretty god-damn bad. Probably, all the other families will line up against us. That'southward all right. These things gotta happen every v years or so, ten years. Helps to become rid of the bad blood. Been ten years since the final one. Y'all know, you gotta end 'em at the beginning, like they shoulda stopped Hitler at Munich. They should never accept let him get away with that. They was just request for big trouble. You know, Mike, we was all proud of you, being a hero and all. Your father, likewise.

Fabrizio: [in Sicilian, upon seeing Apollonia] Mamma mia, what a beauty.

[Apollonia says something in Sicilian and is startled to see the iii men watching her. She and Michael exchange looks.]

Fabrizio: [to Michael, in Sicilian] I think you lot got hit by the thunderbolt.

Calo: [in Sicilian] In Sicily, women are more than dangerous than shotguns.

Vitelli: [in Sicilian] Did yous accept a expert hunt?

Fabrizio: [in Sicilian] Y'all know all the girls around here? We saw some real beauties. One of them struck our friend like a thunderbolt. She would tempt the devil himself. Really put together. Such hair, such mouth!

Vitelli: [in Sicilian] The girls around here are beautiful but virtuous.

Fabrizio: [in Sicilian] This i had a imperial dress and a purple ribbon in her hair. A type more Greek than Italian. Do you lot know her?

Vitelli: [in Sicilian] No! There's no girl like that in his boondocks.

Fabrizio: [in Sicilian] My God, I understand! [gets up to wait at the buffet.]

Michael Corleone: [to Calo, in Sicilian] What's incorrect?

Fabrizio: [in Sicilian] Permit's become. It'southward his girl.

Michael: [in Sicilian] Tell him to come here. Call him. Fabrizio, you interpret.

Fabrizio: Si, signor.

Michael: [with Fabrizio translating] I apologize if I offended you. I'chiliad a stranger in this country and I meant no disrespect, to you or your daughter. I'k an American hiding in Sicily. My proper name is Michael Corleone. In that location are people who'd pay a lot of money for that information, but then your daughter would lose a father instead of gaining a husband. I want to run into your daughter with your permission and under the supervision of your family with all respect.

Vitelli: [in Sicilian] Come to my house Lord's day morning. My name is Vitelli.

Michael Grazie. [in Sicilian] What's her proper name?

Vitelli: Apollonia.

Michael: Bene.

Don Vito Corleone: [sees Tom Hagen with a beverage] Give me a driblet. My married woman is crying upstairs. I hear cars coming to the firm. Consigliere of mine, I recall you should tell your Don what everyone seems to know.

Tom Hagen: I didn't tell Mama anything. I was nigh to come upward and wake y'all and tell y'all.

Vito: Simply you needed a drink beginning.

Tom: Yes.

Vito: Well, at present you've had your drink.

Tom: They shot Sonny on the causeway. He'due south dead.

Vito: I want no inquiries made. I desire no acts of vengeance. I want you lot to arrange a meeting with the heads of the 5 Families. This war stops now.

Don Vito Corleone: [to the heads of the V Families] How did things ever get so far? I don't know. Information technology was so unfortunate, so unnecessary. Tattaglia lost a son and I lost a son. We're quits, and if Tattaglia agrees, then I'm willing to let things go along the style they were before.

Don Emilio Barzini: We're all grateful to Don Corleone for calling this meeting. We all know him as a man of his give-and-take. A modest man who volition always mind to reason.

Don Phillip Tattaglia: Yep, Barzini, he is too small. He had all the judges and politicians in his pocket, and refused to share them.

Vito: When? When did I e'er refuse an accommodation? All of yous know me here. When did I always refuse, except one fourth dimension? And why? Because I believe this drug business is gonna destroy us in the years to come. I mean, it's not similar gambling or liquor, fifty-fifty women, which is something that nigh people desire nowadays and it'due south forbidden to them by the pezzonovantes in the church. Even the police departments have helped u.s.a. in the past with gambling and other things. They're gonna refuse to help usa when it comes to narcotics. And I believed that so, and I believe that now.

Barzini: Times have inverse. It'south not like the old days when we could practise anything nosotros want. A refusal is not the deed of a friend. Don Corleone had all the judges and the politicians in New York, and he must share them. He must allow united states of america depict the water from the well. Certainly, he tin can present a neb for such services. After all, nosotros are not Communists!

Zaluchi: I besides don't believe in drugs. For years I paid my people extra and then they wouldn't practise that kind of business. Somebody comes to them and says, "I take powders. If you put up 3, four thousand dollar investment, we can brand fifty m distributing." So they can't resist. I desire to control information technology as a business, to keep it respectable. I don't want it near schools! I don't want information technology sold to children! That's an infamia. In my metropolis, we would keep the traffic in the nighttime people, the coloreds. They're animals anyway, so permit them lose their souls.

Vito: I hoped that we would come here and reason together. And equally a reasonable man, I'thou willing to do whatever is necessary to find a peaceful solution to these problems.

Barzini: Then we are agreed. The traffic in drugs will be permitted, only controlled, and Don Corleone will give the states protection in the east, and there will exist the peace.

Tattaglia: But I must have strict assurance from Corleone. Equally time goes by and his position becomes stronger, will he attempt any private vendetta?

Barzini: Look, we are all reasonable men here. Nosotros don't have to give assurances as if nosotros were lawyers.

Vito: You talk about vengeance. Is vengeance going to bring your son back to yous or my boy to me? I forgo the vengeance on my son. But I have selfish reasons. My youngest son was forced to leave this country because of all this Solozzo business. All right. At present I accept to brand arrangements to bring him back hither safely, but I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall him—if he should get shot in the caput by a police officeholder, or if he should hang himself in his jail jail cell, or if he'south struck past a bolt of lightning—then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room. And that, I do not forgive. But that aside, let me say that I swear on the souls of my grandchildren that I will non be the one to break the peace that we have fabricated hither today.

Tom Hagen: When I meet with the Tattaglia people, should I insist that all his drug middlemen have make clean records?

Don Vito Corleone: Mention it. Don't insist. Barzini is a human who'll know that without beingness told.

Tom: You hateful Tattaglia?

Vito: Tattaglia's a pimp. He never could've outfought Santino, only I didn't know until this twenty-four hour period that it was Barzini all along.

Michael Corleone: I'yard working for my begetter now. He's been ill, very sick.

Kay Adams: Simply you're not like him, Michael. I thought yous weren't going to go a man like your father. That'due south what you told me.

Michael: My father's no dissimilar than any other powerful human – any human being who's responsible for other people, like a senator or a president.

Kay: [laughs] You know how naïve you sound?

Michael: Why?

Kay: Senators and presidents don't have men killed.

Michael: Oh, who's being naïve, Kay? Kay, my father's style of doing things is over, it'south finished. Even he knows that. I mean, in five years, the Corleone family is going to exist completely legitimate. Trust me. That'southward all I can tell you about my business.

Moe Greene: We had a lilliputian argument, Freddy and I, and then I had to straighten him out.

Michael Corleone: You lot straightened my blood brother out?

Fredo Corleone: Mike! You don't come up to Las Vegas and talk to a human being like Moe Greene similar that!

Michael Corleone: Fredo, you're my older blood brother, and I dearest you, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again, ever.

Don Vito Corleone: I knew that Santino was gonna have to go through all this, and Fredo, well, Fredo was... but I never—I never wanted this for you lot. I worked my whole life—I don't apologize—to take intendance of my family unit. And I refused to be a fool dancing on a string held past all of those large shots. I don't apologize. That's my life, but I thought that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the strings. Senator Corleone. Governor Corleone. Something.

Michael Corleone: Another pezzonovante.

Vito: Well, there wasn't enough time, Michael. Wasn't enough time.

Michael: Nosotros'll become there, Pop. We'll get at that place.

Salvatore "Sal" Tessio: I hope Mike can get us a good deal.

Tom Hagen: I'm certain he will.

William "Willy" Cicci: Sal, Tom? Boss says he'll come up in a separate car. He says for you 2 to continue ahead.

Salvatore "Sal" Tessio: Hell, he can't practise that. It screws upward all my arrangements!

Cicci: Well, that's what he said.

Tom: I can't become either, Sal.

[Several button men shut in around Tessio]

Sal: Tell Mike it was simply business. I always liked him.

Tom: He understands that.

Cicci: 'Scuse me, Sal

Sal: Tom, can you become me off the claw, for one-time time's sake?

Tom: Can't practise information technology, Emerge.

[While Carlo dials the phone, Michael Corleone enters the room with Tom Hagen, Al Neri and Rocco Lampone. Carlo turns and looks at Michael's new inner circle]

Michael Corleone: You accept to reply for Santino, Carlo.

Carlo Rizzi: Mike, you've got information technology all wrong!

Michael: You fingered Sonny for the Barzini people. Ah, that little farce you played with my sister. Did you remember that would fool a Corleone?

Carlo: Mike, I'm innocent. I swear on my kids. Delight don't exercise this to me, Mike.

Michael: Sit down downwardly.

Carlo: Please don't do this. Delight.

Michael: Barzini's expressionless. And so is Phillip Tattaglia, Moe Greene, Stracci, Cuneo. Today, I settle all family concern, so don't tell me you're innocent, Carlo. Acknowledge what you did. [Carlo breaks downward] Become him a drinkable. Come up on. Don't exist agape, Carlo. Come up on. Y'all retrieve I'd make my sister a widow? I'm Godfather to your son, Carlo. [Gives Carlo a drink] Get ahead, potable. Drink. No, Carlo, you're out of the family business concern, that's your punishment. We're finished. I'grand putting y'all on a airplane to Vegas. Tom? [Tom produces a plane ticket] I want you to stay there, understand? But, don't tell me you're innocent, because information technology insults my intelligence. It makes me very aroused. Now who approached you lot: Tattaglia or Barzini?

Carlo: It was Barzini.

Michael: Good. At that place'due south a auto waiting for yous outside, information technology'll have you to the airport. I'll call your wife and tell her what flight you're on.

Carlo: Mike, it was—

Michael: Go on. Go out of my sight.

[Carlo gets in the car and notices Clemenza sitting backside him]

Peter Clemenza: Hey, Carlo. [strangles Carlo]

[Connie has just defendant Michael of having Carlo killed]

Michael Corleone: She'due south hysterical. Hysterical.

Kay Corleone: Michael, is information technology truthful?

Michael: Don't ask me about my business, Kay.

Kay: Is information technology truthful?

Michael: Don't inquire me nearly my business.

Kay: No!

Michael: [slaps the desk] Enough! All right, this ane time. This i fourth dimension, I'll permit you ask me well-nigh my affairs.

Kay: Is it truthful? Is it?

Michael: No.

Kay: I guess nosotros both need a drink, huh? Come on.

Peter Clemenza: [kissing Michael'due south manus as the door closes on Kay] Don Corleone!
