Yes, that is a deleted scene.

In my opinion the most memorable line from that garden scene came from Michael:

"What about Sonny...what about Sicily?"

Vito's exit line is a close second:

"We have plenty of time to talk about that now."

Let's face it, in hindsight all the deleted scenes were ones of value that could've and several cases should've been left in. However, time was of the essence, and neither FFC nor Paramount could foresee the monumental legacy both GF and GFII would leave.

It's nice to ponder what we think shouldn't have been deleted and why...since we've been able to viewed the deleted scenes thanks to the tv Saga. A gift not usually bestowed upon movie fans.

But are there any scenes that remained in either of the films that you think didn't need to be left in?

Or better still...any deleted scenes that you would trade off for any that remained in the films?

Editing...it's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.
