Favorite lines from each character in Part 1

Don Vito - "You can act like a MAN!!!"

Michael - "Only don't tell me you're innocent...It insults my intelligence, makes me very angry."

Sollozzo - "Yeah, well...let ME worry about Luca."

Sonny - "Wudda you think this is the army where ya shoot em a mile away???"

Clemenza - "Awww Paulie, won't see him no more."

Woltz - Whole dinner room monologue.

Hagen - "Sollozzo might not even be in the car SONNY!"

Fredo - "POPPA!!!"

Michael - You have to answer for Santino, Carlo!

Sonny - Son of a bitch - SONOFABITCH
- There aint gonna be no stalemate - im gonna end it by killin that old Bastard - Im gonna kill......

Don Vito - And if of course a man like yourself should make enemies then they would become my enemies - and then they will fear you!

Tessio - THE LOOK! (Greatest scene in film history) followed by 'Can't you get me off the hook, for old times sake

Clemenza - Paulie, wont see him no more

Fredo - Anything for you kid, anything!

Paulie - Twenty- Thirty-grand. In small bills, cash. In that little silk purse. Madon', if this was someone else's wedding

Tommasino - Bad news from America, your brother Santino was killed

Fabrizio - Take me to the America

Connie - You Lousy cold hearted bastard

Barzini - The trafficking of drugs will be permitted but controlled

Philip Tattaglia - But I must have strict assurance from Corleone -- as time goes by and his position becomes stronger, will he attempt any individual vendetta?

Carlo - Clean it up i said, CLEAN IT UP

Bruno Tattaglia - Su bequero Scotch? Pre-war...

Tom Hagen - Now he's definitely on Sollozzo's payroll, and for big money. McCluskey has agreed to be the Turk's bodyguard. What you have to understand, Sonny, is that while Sollozzo is being guarded like this, he is invulnerable. Now nobody has ever gunned down a New York police captain -- never. It would be disastrous. All the Five Families would come after you, Sonny.
The Corleone Family would be outcasts! Even the old man's political protection would run
for cover! So do me a favor -- take this into consideration

Moe Green - I buy you out, you dont buy me out

Michael: "Don't ask me about my business Kay"

Sonny: "Son of a Bitch, son of a bitch!"

Woltz: " she was the best piece of a__ I've ever had..."

Vito: Not even a line. The sigh of grief after Tom tells him that Sonny is dead.

McCluskey: "He's clean"

Connie: "No!" (after pulling away from Michael's hug after she confronts him for killing Carlo)

Sonny:
Whatya gonna do? Nice college boy, eh? Don't wanna get mixed up in the family business? Now you wanna gun down a police captain because he slapped you in the face a little bit, huh? Whataya think this is, the Army, where you shoot 'em a mile away? You gotta get up close like this... badaBING! you blow their brains all over your nice Ivy League suit. C'mere... you're taking this very personal

Micheal: We'll get there pap, we'll get there.

Vito: dancing on the strings, held by all those....big shots.

Moe Green: Do you know who I am?! I'm Moe Green!

Jack Woltz: And then Johnny Fontane comes along with his olive oil voice, and guinea charm.

Sally Tessio: Can't you get me off the hook, for old times sake

Tom Hagen: Can't do it Sally

Peter Clemenza: Leave the gun, take the Cannoli.

Paulie Gatto: 20, 30 grand. In small bills cash. In that little silk purse. Madon', if this was someone else's wedding. s'fortunato (?)

Sollozzo - I hate violence Tom, Blood is a big expense

McCluskey - Ive frisked a thousand young bums

yes, that one of sollozzo was also very good!

How about this for the turk

- What guarantees can i give you, I am the hunted one! You think too much of me kid, im not that clever

also i like

- Make time consigliere

The Turk is perhaps my favorite character in the movie...his role was so fitting, and Lettieri was exceptional in that role...His menacing appearance, with that gruff, smooth voice...all hs lines were notable...

one of my favorites...

"Wudda ya worried about? If I wanted to kill you, youd be dead already."

GFI: Woltz: "I don't care how many daigo, guinea, wop, greasball goombahs come out of the wordwork."

GFII: Roth: "I heard you had some trouble. Stupid - people behaving like that with guns."

GFIII: After Vincent shots Zasa: "Joey..Zasa."

is that really your fave GFII line?, there are so many better ones

Pentangeli - only if they went back and killed themselves??

Mike - I know it was you Fredo, you broke my heart, you broke my heart

Fredo - Im you're older brother mike and i was stepped over!

need i go on?

As for the Turk i agree he was definitely great, the brash way he talks to the don makes me die, what bottle!

- I want a million in cash, i want the politicians that you carry around in your pocket like so many nickels and dimes.

Hey Hollywood Finnochio...you stated one of your favorite lines was when Bruno Tattaglia says <i>"Su bequero Scotch? Pre-war...</i>

I know what script you got this information from, but that script is incorrect...What Bruno actually says is "Un bicchiere de Skotch?"

Which in Italian means "A glass of skotch?"

There were a few incorrect Italian translations in the online Godfather skript. A friend here at work who was born in Sicily and speaks Sicilian told me what was really being said, and annunciated each phrase for me...Including the whole bar scene with Luca...the script as alot of flaws in that aspect

i started looking over the script and choosing my favorite lines and it just kept growing. sorry its so long, and yet there is still so much i couldve put on there.

PAULIE:Twenty- Thirty-grand. In small bills, cash. In that little silk purse. Madon', if this was someone else's wedding, sfortunato

MICHAEL:His name is Luca Brasi -- an' he helps my father out sometimes.

MICHAEL:My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse.....Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his brains -- or his signature -- would be on the contract....That's a true story...That's my family, Kay. It's not me.

VITO CORLEONE:Why do you come to me? Why do I deserve this generosity?

SOLLOZZO:If you consider a million dollars in cash just finance, te salute, Don Corleone.

CLEMENZA:Well think about it while you're drivin', will ya? I wanna hit New York sometime this month.

MICHAEL:Just lie here, Pop. I'll take care of you now. I'm with you now. I'm with you...

SONNY:What did he say -- Badda-beep, badda-bap, badda-boop, badda-beep -- He wants us to send Michael here to proposition. And the promise is, that the deal is so good, that we can't refuse. Eh...

MICHAEL:They wanna have a meeting with me, right? It will be me -- McCluskey -- and Sollozzo. Let's set the meeting. Get our informers to find out where it's gonna be held. Now, we insist it's a public place -- a bar, a restaurant -- some place where there's people so I feel safe. They're gonna search me when I first meet them, right, so I can't have a weapon on me then. But if Clemenza can figure a way -- to have a weapon planted there for me -- then I'll kill 'em both.

SONNY:Hey, whataya gonna do, nice college boy, eh? Didn't want to get mixed up in the Family
business, huh? Now you wanna gun down a police captain, why, because he slapped ya in the face a little bit? Hah? What do you think this is the Army, where you shoot'em a mile away? You've gotta get up close like this and bada-bing! you blow their brains all over your nice Ivy League suit. Come're...

MICHAEL:It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business

MICHAEL:Sit down, finish my dinner...

SONNY:Sonofabitch! Sonofabitch!

VITO:But I'm a superstitious man -- and if some unlucky accident should befall him -- if he should get shot in the head by a police officer -- or if he -- should hang himself in his jail cell -- or if he's struck by a bolt of lightning -- then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room. And that, I do not forgive.

MICHAEL:Only don't tell me you're innocent. Because it insults my intelligence -- and makes me very angry...

MICHAEL:She's hysterical -- hysterical.
KAY:Michael, is it true?
MICHAEL:Don't ask me about my business, Kay...
KAY:Is it true?
MICHAEL:Don't ask me about my business...
KAY:No.
MICHAEL:Enough! Alright. This one time-- this one time I'll let you ask me about my affairs...
KAY:Is it true? -- Is it?
MICHAEL:No.

MICHAEL:Is that why you slapped my brother around in public?

FREDO:Aw now that -- that was nothin', Mike. Now -- Now uh Moe didn't mean nothin' by that. Sure he flies off the handle once in a while, but Moe and me -- we're good friends, right Moe? Huh?

MICHAEL:Fredo -- you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever.

I would be so bold as to say that EVERY line is a classic, it is definitely THE most memorable and Flawless Script ive have ever heard, full of superb rich dialogue and wonderful lines, it makes me proud every time i see it, just that i know it my favourite things, as long as im alive all always have this to treasure (over the top?? i dont think so)

Stylistic to answer your question i cut and pasted Bruno's line from JGeoffs site script
