Though this puts me in the position of rationalizing bad writing: Probably Harrison's "we" is the Corleones with Archbishop Gilday, who assured him that he was confidently speaking for the Pope and whatever Board of Directors Lucchese and Kleinzig represented. Hence the "formality." If the Pope was being poisoned by Gilday and his conspirators, then, as Kleinzig said, "all bets are off," and Gilday would have gotten his bailout without having to make good on the pledge to hand over Immobiliare to Michael. Lucchese's use of "fleet" is an awkward euphemism for control of Immobiliare's board: "We’ll gladly put you at the helm of our little fleet. But our ships, must all sail in the same direction." I inferred that "fleet" meant the various business interests of Immobiliare's board that may or may not have been included as part of what Gilday promised Michael. The line served no purpose other than for Puzo and FFC to try to inject some "fancy Old World idioms" into a feeble script.

The line served no purpose other than for Puzo and FFC to try to inject some "fancy Old World idioms" into a feeble script. They also put the line in because the whole plot was so confusing no one would comprehend Dontomassino's identification of Luchese as the one person who had his feet in "both worlds," without Michael immediately repeating the line about ships sailing in the same direction.

If you ask me, everyone turned out looking worse in GF 3. As if they all got a downgrade, except Connie maybe, who kind of rocks that "shady old shrew" style. One of the many things that always bothered me about GF 3 was the look, including costumes and styling. It was weak. And I´ve always wondered why. It´s astounding, since they basically had the same team working on it, and the first two movies are so visually stunning.
Ever since I saw that movie, I ask myself if it´s me, if it´s the stylists, or if something was seriously off with the fashion in that decade.
Oh, and yeah. Pacino´s hair looks CRAZY.

Oh, and yeah. Pacino´s hair looks CRAZY. Some of the styles echoed the late '70's ... glittery dresses, big hair on women, etc. Asw for Michael's hair, all I can think is that Senator Geary's comment about oily hair got to him. I believe around that time there was a commercial for some kind of men's hair product that proclaimed "the wet head is dead." Either that or Michael's barber suddenly found himself sleeping with the fishes.
