We've known each other many years, but this is the first time you ever came to me for counsel, for help. I can't remember the last time that you invited me to your house for a cup of coffee, even though my wife is godmother to your only child. Let's be frank. You never wanted my friendship.

Bonnie Raitt / Francis Ford Coppola
I understand. You found paradise in America. You had a good trade, made a good living. Police protected you, and there were courts of law. And you 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. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Godfather.

You said you'd come into my house on the day my daughter's to be married and you asked me to do murder for money.

Buona sera. Buona sera. What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, And the scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then he would become my enemies.

Good. 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 a gift on my daughter's wedding day. Grazie. Grazie.
