The Godfather: Part III

Making matters even worse is Michael's nephew, Vincent (Andy Garcia). Not only does Vincent want a piece of the Corleone family's criminal empire, but he also wants Michael's daughter, Mary (Sofia Coppola).

Michael Corleone:
What's wrong with being a lawyer?

Kay Corleone:
Nothing, except he doesn't want it. He loves music he wants his life to be in music.

Michael Corleone:
Well, music is great. I love music but he should finish what he started. Anthony.

Anthony Vito Corleone:
I'm going my own way.

Michael Corleone:
Your own way.

Anthony Vito Corleone:
Uh-huh.

Michael Corleone:
Professional singer.

Anthony Vito Corleone:
That's right.

Michael Corleone:
And what happens if you fail.

Anthony Vito Corleone:
I won't fail.

Michael Corleone:
Men always believe that. With a law degree you're taking on insurance. After that you can do anything you want. You can work for me.

Anthony Vito Corleone:
I will never work for you. I have bad memories.

Michael Corleone:
All families have bad memories.

Anthony Vito Corleone:
I will always be your son, but I will never have anything to do with your business.

Michael Corleone:
Anthony, finish the law degree.

Anthony Vito Corleone:
No.

Kay Corleone:
That he got from you. That "no."

Michael Corleone:
You could have helped me, Kay. You could have helped me to convince him.

Kay Corleone:
Convince him of what?

Michael Corleone:
He throws his life away. He throws greatness away!

Kay Corleone:
This is greatness? You know, Michael, now that you're so respectable I think you're more dangerous than you ever were. In fact, I preferred you when you were just a common Mafia hood.

Michael Corleone:
Alright, can we talk now? Common sense?

Kay Corleone:
Alright. Tony knows you killed Fredo.

Michael Corleone:
Why did you come here?

Kay Corleone:
I came here to protect my son. I didn't come here to see you disguised by your church. I thought that was a shameful ceremony.

Joey Zasa:
The Miucci association and elected you their Italian American man of the year. [hands Michael a plaque]

Michael Corleone:
Oh, Miucci. Who's Miucci?

Joey Zasa:
He's the Italian American who invented the telephone. He did it one year before Alexander Graham Bell.

Michael Corleone:
Oh. And this is the reason you have come to my home on this day.

Joey Zasa:
I have a stone in my shoe, Mr. Corleone. A two-bit punk who works for me. Who thinks he's related to you. A bastard.

Al Neri:
He's here. Vincent Mancini. He's at the party.

Michael Corleone:
Well, bring him in.

Joey Zasa:
I think it's good that we talk. I have a problem. Now I have to find out if it is my problem or your problem.

Michael Corleone:
Joey, your business is your business. I have no interest, no percentages. I'm out.

Joey Zasa:
Good, then it is my problem.

Connie:
[Connie and Vincent enter] Michael, you know Vincent Mancini. Sonny's boy.

Vincent Mancini:
Hey, how you doin' Mr. Corleone.

Michael Corleone:
How you doing.

Vincent Mancini:
I'm doin' good. How you doin'?

Michael Corleone:
Good.

Vincent Mancini:
Nice party.

Michael Corleone:
Oh, you like it?

Vincent Mancini:
Yeah, I had to sneak in.

Michael Corleone:
Well, you dressed for it. What's the trouble between you and Mr. Joe Zasa?

Vincent Mancini:
Just trouble. I'll take care of it.

Michael Corleone:
That's foolish of you.

Vincent Mancini:
Foolish of me? It's a little foolish of this guy don't you think? Right? RIGHT!

Michael Corleone:
Temper like his father. Vincent, Mr. Joe Zasa now owns what used to be the Corleone family business in New York. Out of the kindness of his heart he gave you a job with his family. Contrary to my advice you took the job. I offered you something better. Something in the legitimate world. You turned me down. Now you both come to me with this bad blood. What do you expect me to do? Am I a gangster?

Vincent Mancini:
No, no, you're not a gangster, Uncle Mike.

Connie:
Michael, that's Papa's old neighborhood now it's a sewer. Zasa runs it like a disgrace the ladies told me.

Joey Zasa:
I earned that territory with my talent. The commission gave it to me. You approved.

Michael Corleone:
Yes.

Vincent Mancini:
Hey, Uncle Mike, I'm just here for the party. I didn't come here to ask for help. I could just kill this bastard. He's the one who should be asking for help.

Michael Corleone:
Then kill him. What does this have to do with me?

Vincent Mancini:
Well, he's going around your back saying "f*** Michael Corleone." That's what it has to do with you.

Vincent Mancini:
[to Zasa] Say it to his face one time. ONE TIME!

Joey Zasa:
Mr. Corleone, all bastards are liars Shakespear wrote poems about them.

Vincent Mancini:
What am I gonna do with this guy. WHAT!

Michael Corleone:
Joey, if there is someone going around this city saying "f*** Michael Corleone" what do we do with a piece of sh*t like this? He's a f***in' dog.

Joey Zasa:
Yes, if someone were to say such a thing they would not be a friend, they would be a dog.

Michael Corleone:
My interests don't conflict with Mr. Joe Zasa's.

Vincent Mancini:
Oh yes they do, Uncle Mike. More than you know.

Connie:
Michael, he needs your support!

Vincent Mancini:
Hey, Uncle Mike, don't make me work for this guy no more. I come work for you.

Michael Corleone:
For me? As what? A tough guy? I don't need tough guys. I need more lawyers. Joey, since we have no conflicts no debts I accept your tribute. I wish you well. Vincent, come make your peace with Mr. Joe Zasa.

Joey Zasa:
[Vincent hugs Zasa] Bastarde.

Michael Corleone:
[Vincent bites Zasa's ear and Zasa's is taken out of the office] Jesus! Shut it, shut it, shut it.

Vincent Mancini:
Hey Uncle Mike this wasn't the time for this. I mean, I know you're into bankers and Wall Street and your word is gold but I just want to protect you from this guy and your lawyers can't do that.

Michael Corleone:
But you can.

Vincent Mancini:
Yeah, I can.

Michael Corleone:
And why should I be afraid of Joe Zasa?

Vincent Mancini:
Because he knows you're keeping him from moving up in the commission. I say we make him dead. You give the word and I'll take care of it myself.

Michael Corleone:
Maybe you should come with me for a few weeks. See what happens. See how much you learn. Then, we'll talk about your future.

Vincent Mancini:
I won't let you down.

Michael Corleone:
Alright, go on.
