Recently Joanne and I stayed in on consecutive Saturday nights and watched Godfather I and II. 

Our (unanimous) impression was that the original was better, if not far better, than II. It is so rich in color, music, composition, content, acting, writing and lessons.  And it is so eternally quotable.

Topical today is second son Fredo's protestations that "I'm smart and I want respect."

My favorite is Hyman Roth's "We're bigger than US Steel".  I can just hear Meyer Lansky saying it about the Syndicate.  

Then there's (twice said by different Dons) "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse" which came to me in various versions from Teamster negotiators over my labor relations career during which I always remembered to keep my friends close and my enemies closer.  After all, "It's not personal.  It's strictly business."

Do you have a favorite?

P.S. Don't forget the cannoli...
