Which one of the classic quotes of the old godfather Vito Don Corleone in "The Godfather" do you like?

Sanford 2022-03-15 09:01:01

1. A man who loves home

"A man who doesn't take time to spend time with his family is not a real man."

Men are the backbone of the family. The godfather tells you that men must stand upright and be responsible for the happiness of everyone in the family.

2. Determined man

"I will give him a request that he cannot refuse."

A man must be firm in his career, not cringe, and must succeed and not fail.

3. A wise man

"Don't let outsiders know what you are thinking."

Don't expose your weaknesses easily. If you want to be a strong person, you can't let others use and see through.

4. Brave man

"I will never be a fool, let those big people manipulate me behind the scenes."

This is also a very critical sentence, because people always think that the Mafia is a bad guy. In fact, in this world, as the House of Cards said: "If you don't be a hunter, you must be a prey." Social laws are cruel, and only one can protect themselves from being manipulated by others.

The Godfather quotes

  • Capt. McCluskey: I thought I got all you Guinea hoods locked up! What the hell are you doing here?

    Michael: What happened to the men who were guarding my father, Captain?

    Capt. McCluskey: I pulled them guys off of here, eh, now get away from this hospital!

    Michael: I'm not leaving until you put some guards around my father's room.

    Capt. McCluskey: Phil, take him in!

    Cop with Capt. McCluskey outside hospital: The kid's clean Captain, he's a war hero! He's never been mixed up with the rackets...

    Capt. McCluskey: Goddamn it Phil, I said take him in!

    Michael: What's the Turk paying you to set up my father, Captain?

    Capt. McCluskey: [to Patrolmen] Take a hold of him. Stand him up. Stand him up straight.

    [punches Michael and breaks his jaw]

  • Sollozzo: [to Michael, in Sicilian] I am sorry. What happened to your father was business. I have much respect for your father. But your father, his thinking is old-fashioned. You must understand why I had to do that. Now let's work through where we go from here.

    [Michael tries speaking in Sicilian, but can't express himself properly, so with a quick look at McCluskey they both switch to English]

    Michael: What I want... what's most important to me is that I have a guarantee: no more attempts on my father's life.

    Sollozzo: What guarantees could I give you, Mike? I'm the hunted one. I've missed my chance. You think too much of me, kid. I am not that clever. All I want is a truce.

    Michael: I have to go to the bathroom. Is that all right?

    Capt. McCluskey: You gotta go, you gotta go.

    [Michael gets up, but a suspicious Sollozzo probes Michael's crotch, to Michael's offense]

    Capt. McCluskey: I frisked him. He's clean.

    Sollozzo: Don't take too long...

    [Michael heads to the bathroom]

    Capt. McCluskey: [to Sollozzo] I frisked a thousand young punks.
