You're beautiful, beautiful. You're gorgeous. The Turk wants to talk! Imagine the nerve of the son-of-a-bitch. -He wants a meeting today. -What did he say? What did he say... He wants us to send Michael to hear the proposition. He promises that the deal is too good to refuse. -And Bruno Tattaglia? -That's part of the deal. -He cancels out what they did to Father. -We should listen to them. No more! Not this time, Consigliere. No more meetings, discussions, or Sollozzo tricks. I want Sollozzo, or we go to war... -The other families... -They hand me Sollozzo! This is business, not personal! -They shot my father... -Even that was business, not personal.

Michael is now head of the family. If he gives his permission, then you have my blessing. After we make the move to Nevada you can leave the Corleone family and go on your own. -How long will that be? -Six months. Forgive me, but with you gone, me and Pete will come under Barzini's thumb. I hate that Barzini. In six months' time there will be nothing left to build on. -Do you have faith in my judgment? -Yes. -Do I have your loyalty? -Always, Godfather. Then be a friend to Michael. Do as he says.

Let's get something to eat. Corleone is Johnny's godfather. To the Italian people that's a very sacred, close relationship. I respect it. Tell him to ask me anything else. This favor I can't give him. He never asks a second favor when he's been refused the first. You don't understand. Johnny Fontane never gets that movie. That part is perfect for him. It'll make him a big star. I'm going to run him out of the business, and let me tell you why.
I found out about Captain McCluskey, who broke Mike's jaw. He's definitely on Sollozzo's payroll, and for big money. McCluskey has agreed to be The Turk's bodyguard. So when Sollozzo is being guarded, he's invulnerable. Nobody has ever gunned down a New York police captain. All the families would come after you. The Corleone family would be outcasts! Even the old man's political protection would run for cover.

And what favor would your friend grant Mr. Woltz? He could make your future union problems disappear. And one of your stars has just moved from marijuana to heroin. Are you trying to muscle me? Listen, you son-of-a-bitch! Let me lay it on the line. Johnny Fontane will never get that movie! No matter how many Dago Guinea greaseballs come out of the woodwork! -I'm German-Irish. -Listen here, my Kraut-Mick friend. -I'm going to make trouble for you! -I'm a lawyer. I haven't threatened... I know New York's big lawyers. Who are you? I have a special practice. I handle one client. I'll wait for your call.

We are agreed. The traffic in drugs will be permitted, but controlled. Don Corleone will give us protection in the east, and there will be peace. I must have strict assurance from Corleone. As time goes by and his position becomes stronger, will he attempt any individual vendetta? We are all reasonable men. We don't have to give assurances. You talk about vengeance. Will vengeance bring your son back to you? Or my boy to me? I forgo the vengeance of my son.

Because I believe this drug business will destroy us in the years to come. It's not like gambling or liquor or even women, which is something that most people want, but is forbidden by the Church. Even the police that have helped us in the past with gambling and other things are going to refuse to help us when it comes to narcotics. I believed that then and I believe that now. Times have changed. It's not like the old days, when we could do anything we wanted. A refusal is not the act of a friend. If Don Corleone had all the judges and politicians, then he must share them or let others use them. He must let us draw the water from the well.

Sollozzo is known as The Turk. He's supposed to be very good with a knife, but only in matters of business with reasonable complaint. His business is narcotics. He has fields in Turkey, where they grow poppy. In Sicily he has plants to process them into heroin. He needs cash, he needs protection from the police. He'll give a piece of the action. I don't know how much. The Tattaglia family is behind him here. They have to be in it for something.

Nice college boy. Didn't want to get mixed up in the family business. Now you want to shoot a police captain because he slapped you? This isn't like the army! You have to get close and get their brains on your suit. You're taking this very personal. Tom, this is business and he's taking it personal. -Where does it say you can't kill a cop? -Mikey... I'm talking about a cop who's mixed up in drugs, a dishonest cop.

-For your daughter's bridal purse. -Thank you, Luca. Most valued friend. Don Corleone, I'm going to leave you now, because I know you're busy.
