The Godfather Quote

Don Corleone : Oh, I want you to arrange to have a telephone man check all the calls going in and out of here because it could be anyone...
Michael : I did that already, Pop. I took care of that.
Don Corleone : Oh, that's right. I forgot.
Michael : What's the matter? What's bothering you? I'll handle it. I told you I can handle it, I'll handle it. [ the Don rises as if to leave, but changes his mind midway and seats himself closer to Michael ]
Don Corleone : I knew Santino was going to have to go through all this and Fredo... well, Fredo was... But I, I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life, I don't apologize, to take care of my family. And I refused to be a fool dancing on the strings held by all of those big shots. That's my life, I don't apologize for that. But I always thought that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the strings. Senator Corleone, Governor Corleone, something.
Michael : Another pezzonovante.
Don Corleone : Well, there wasn't enough time, Michael. There just wasn't enough time.
Michael : We'll get there, Pop. We'll get there. [ the Don kisses his son on the forehead ]
