The
Godfather Part 2
quotes
are a companion piece to the original. The quotes are tragic in their
grandeur with a touch of coldness and ruthlessness thrown in. Totally
unmissable!

Michael
Corleone:
I don't feel I have to wipe everybody out, Tom. Just my enemies.
Michael Corleone:
I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!
Michael Corleone:
I've always taken care of you, Fredo. Fredo Corleone:
Taken care of me? You're my kid brother! You take care of me? Did you
ever think about that? Huh? Do you ever once think about that? Send
Fredo off to do this! Send Fredo off to do that! Let Fredo take care of
some Mickey Mouse nightclub somewhere! Send Fredo to pick somebody up
at the airport! I'm your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over! Michael Corleone:
That's the way Pop wanted it. Fredo Corleone:
It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like
everybody says...like dumb! I'm smart and I want respect!
Michael
Corleone:
Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a
friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see
you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our
mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You
understand?
Michael
Corleone: My father taught me many things here.
He taught me
in
this room. He taught me; 'keep your friends close, but your enemies
closer'.
Kay Corleone: It
made me think of what you once told me: "In five years the Corleone
family will be completely legitimate." That was seven years ago. Michael Corleone: I
know. I'm trying, darling.
Tom Hagen:
It would be like trying to kill the President, there's no way we can
get to him. Michael Corleone:
If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything,
it is that you can kill anyone.
Vito Corleone: I
make him an offer he don' refuse. Don't worry.
Senator Pat
Geary: I despise the way you pose yourself. You and your
whole fucking family. Michael Corleone:
We're both part of the same hypocrisy, senator, but never think it
applies to my family.
[to Kay] Michael Corleone:
I'll change...I'll change. I've learned that I have the strength to
change.
Michael Corleone:
C'mon Frankie...my father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected
Hyman Roth. Frank Pentangeli: Your
father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth... but he
never trusted Hyman Roth!
Michael Corleone:
Hyman Roth has been dying from the same
heart attack for the last twenty years.
Fredo Corleone:
Every time I put my line in the water I
said a Hail Mary, and every time I said a Hail Mary I caught a fish.
Tom Hagen:
Why do you hurt me, Michael? I've always been loyal to you.
Michael Corleone:
Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a
friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see
you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our
mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You
understand?
[talking about Fredo] Michael Corleone:
I don't want anything to happen to him while my mother's alive.
Connie:
Michael, I hated you for so many years. I think that I did things to
myself, to hurt myself so that you'd know, that I could hurt
you.
You were just being strong for all of us the way Papa was. And I
forgive you. Can't you forgive Fredo? He's so sweet and helpless
without you. You need me, Michael. I want to take care of you now.
[when Michael finds out
Kay has lost their baby] Michael Corleone:
Was it a boy? Tom Hagen: Mikey,
after three and a half months... Michael Corleone: WHY
CAN'T YOU GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER ANY MORE? WAS IT A BOY?
Kay Corleone:
Oh, Michael. Michael, you are blind. It wasn't a miscarriage. It was an
abortion. An abortion, Michael. Just like our marriage is an abortion.
Something that's unholy and evil. I didn't want your son, Michael! I
wouldn't bring another one of you sons into this world! It was an
abortion, Michael! It was a son! A son! And I had it killed
because this must all end! [Michael looks extremely
angry] Kay Corleone:
I know now that it's over. I knew it then. There would be no way,
Michael... no way you could ever forgive me not with this Sicilian
thing that's been going on for two thousand years. [Michael loses control
and slaps Kay across the face. She falls onto the couch] Michael Corleone:
Bitch! You won't take my children! Kay Corleone:
I will. Michael Corleone:
You WON'T TAKE MY CHILDREN! Kay Corleone:
They're my children too.
