The Godfather Quote

[ at midnight, Don Corleone walks into his office and finds Tom Hagen taking a drink ]
Don Corleone : Give me a drop. [ Hagen hands the Don his glass of anisette ]
Don Corleone : My wife is crying upstairs. I hear cars coming to the house. Consigliore of mine, I think it's time you told your Don what everyone seems to know.
Tom Hagen : I didn't tell Mama anything. I was just about to come up and wake you so that I could tell you.
Don Corleone : But you needed a drink first. [ Hagen nods ]
Don Corleone : And now you've had your drink.
Tom Hagen : They shot Sonny on the causeway. He's dead. [ the Don accepts this news without any sign of emotion, except to close his eyes and remain silent for a few minutes ]
Don Corleone : [ speaking at last ] I want no inquiries made. I want no acts of vengeance. I want you to arrange a meeting with the heads of the Five Families. This war stops now.
