There are things that have to be done and you do them and you never talk about them. You don`t try to justify them, they can`t be justified. You just do them. Then you forget it.

PREVIOUSLY LOST DIALOGUE FROM GF II
(Merle is sitting alone, moping, while Connie is tending to her children. He is approached by Johnny Ola.)
Johnny - Hey...ain't I seen you around the casinos? Merle - Maybe, yeah. Johnny - You the guy thats banging Connie Corleone right? Merle - Look, that's none of your.... Johnny - Hey, kid, not to worry, I'm tight with the Corleones, especially Mike and Kay. I wont say anything to them. Merle - Well I'm glad you're tight with them because Michael just made me feel about two feet tall. He wouldnt even advance Connie and me enough money to go to Europe on The Queen. Johnny - Well, Mike can be a little tight with money...not like Fredo. Man that guy spends it like there's no tomorrow. Merle - Maybe I should ask Fredo for money. Johnny - Better not, Mike keeps a good eye on Fredo's spending. You don't want to cross Mike. Merle - Well I wish there was a way I could get him to like me better. Johnny - Maybe I can help you out with that. Merle - Really? How? Johnny - Well here's the thing....Fredo's wife? Deanna? She really likes to get into the booze....drives Mike nuts. If you dance with her at dinner tonight she will make a spectacle of herself, and it will give Mike the chance to throw her out of the party. Merle - So how does that help me? Johnny - There is an old Sicilian ...you arent a Sicilian are you? Merle - No. I'm..... Johnny - There is an old Sicilian saying "Cui Aprire le tende fa la festa buona." Literally it means "He who opens the drapes makes the party go well." Figuratively the "opening the drapes" part means doing something that brings in the light. Get it? Merle - Oh, like its an expression that you are lightening things up. Johnny - I bet no one ever called you "stupid!" Merle - I dont understand. Johnny - When they take Deanna away, there is going to be a scuffle, and shortly after that everyone, including Mike will be dancing and having a good time. You just tell Connie you gotta go up to the house to take a leak, but what you really do is you go into Mikes room and open the drapes. Then tomorrow, you tell him you were the guy who "opened the drapes" for him, and he'll thank you for it, believe me. Merle - Wow, thanks! You're a good guy. What's your name again? Johnny - Its Johnny, and if I can ever help you out again just ask Fredo for my number. Now is there anything else I can do for you? Merle - Yeah, can I have a drink or something?
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
"I stood in the courtroom like a fool."
"I am Constanza: Lord of the idiots."
