- Don Vito Corleone: Some day, and that day may never come... I may call upon you to do a service for me. But er... until that day, accept this, as a gift.
- Don Vito Corleone: Save your anger... save it. Until you are old enough... and the time is right... then you shall take your revenge.
- Virgil 'The Turk' Sollozzo: He's still alive. They hit him with five shots and he's atill alive. Well that's bad luck for me, and bad luck for you. Goodbye Tom, I'm sorry it didn't work out.
- Tom Hagen: We could use a good man like you representing us out on the streets. I offer you a role as an unofficial enforcer for the Family. Help us regain our true balance, and your actions could result in you becoming, one day, and God willing, one of our made men.
- Captain McCluskey: I thought I got all you guinea hoods locked up! What are you doing here?
- Sergeant Joe Galtosino: [to Trapani] Don't move, not a fucking muscle.
- Michael Corleone: What's the Turk paying you to set up my father, Captain?
- Captain McCluskey: Alright, get a hold of him... stand him up straight!
- [he punches Michael]
- Sergeant Joe Galtosino: Told you not to get involved, didn't I?
- [he goes to punch Trapani]
- Tom Hagen: Hold it right there. These men are private detectivrs, hired by Vito Corleone, they are licensed to carry firearms. If you detain them you'll have to appear before a court in the morning to show cause.
- [the cops back off]
- Don Vito Corleone: Serafina... it's been too long since you came around.
- Serafina Trapani: Godfather... my husband was always loyal to you. He died for that loyalty.
- Don Vito Corleone: I have not forgotten him, or the loss that you have suffered.
- Serafina Trapani: Padrino forgive me. It's just that I'm so worried about my son, he's fallen in with some bad men... fools. He's in trouble and... please... he needs your help.
- Luca Brasi: Ah, it's much more quiet around now. Makes it easier for a man to get his business done. I make good money, I help the Family, but one thing must be understood, I would never go against the Godfather. Don Corleone is a man I respect.
- Kevin Noonan: [being forced into an open grave] Please... I won't do it again.
- Paulie Gatto: Oh we know you won't do it again.
- [clubs him with the shovel]
- Paulie Gatto: Good night, sweetheart.
- Santino 'Sonny' Corleone: Can we get some help here! Hey Fredo...
- Frederico 'Fredo' Corleone: Sonny, I was... Sonny...
- [Sonny hits him on the back of the head]
- Santino 'Sonny' Corleone: Hey, what's this kid doing, watching a movie? Get him out of here!
- [he enters the hospital]
- Peter Clemenza: Hey kid, don't mind Sonny, he's just a little shook up seeing his Pop like that. So, what happened?
- Aldo Trapani: It was a hit. They said something about an old diner, and your consigliere.
- Peter Clemenza: Consigliere? Tom. Thanks kid, we'll get right on it. I hope Tom is okay, he ain't the fightin' type.
- Michael Corleone: Who are you?
- Aldo Trapani: Who are you?
- Michael Corleone: I'm Michael Corleone. Men are coming her tonight to kill my father.
- Aldo Trapani: I'm here to help. Clemenza sent me. What happened to the Police? The guards?
- Michael Corleone: I don't know. But I have an idea. I'm going to get the nurse to move my father to another room. Now, you better get your girl out of here. There's a way out through the basement. Go find Tom Hagen, tell him what's going on. And keep away from the front door. They may be out there already.
