Turnbull, great thread!

Just to clear things up. In the film:

Santino mentions to the Don when coming home from the hospital, "We're sending Fredo to Las Vegas under the protection of Don Francesco."

Michael says to Moe Greene, "You took Freddie in cause the Corleone family bankrolled your casino, and the Molinari family on the coast guaranteed his safety."

I assume the family name is Molinari and Don Francesco was the boss. Like Gotti and the Gambino family??

-A Streetcar Named Desire-

Stanley: You want a shot? (offers liquor)
Blanche: No, I rarely touch it.
Stanley: There's some people that rarely touch it, but it touches them often.
