SOLLOZZO (to the waiter)
Capide? [understand?]
All right.
(then, to McCluskey)
I'm gonna speak Italian to Mike.
McCLUSKEY
Go ahead...
SOLLOZZO
I'm sorry...
MICHAEL
leave it alone/forget about it
SOLLOZZO
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
MICHAEL
I understand those things
SOLLOZZO (after the waiter brings McCluskey's veal, then exits)
Now let's work through where we go from here
MICHAEL
How do you say...? (then, in English) What I want -- what's most important to me -- is that I have a guarantee: No more attempts on my fathers life
