VITO CORLEONE
I understand. You found paradise in America, had a good trade, made a good living. The
police protected you; and there were courts of law. And you didn't need a friend of me. But
uh, now you come to me and you say -- "Don Corleone give me justice." -- But you don't ask
with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Godfather. Instead,
you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you uh ask me to do
murder, for money.
BONASERA
I ask you for justice.
VITO CORLEONE
That is not justice; your daughter is still alive.
BONASERA
Then they can suffer then, as she suffers.
(then)
How much shall I pay you?
VITO CORLEONE (stands, turning his back toward Bonasera)
Bonasera... Bonasera... What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? Had
you come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering
this very day. And that by chance if an honest man such as yourself should make enemies,
then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you.
BONASERA
Be my friend --
(then, after bowing and the Don shrugs)
-- Godfather?
VITO CORLEONE (after Bonasera kisses his hand)
Good.
(then)
Some day, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But uh,
until that day -- accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.
BONASERA (as he leaves the room)
Grazie, Godfather.
VITO CORLEONE
Prego.
