Joey Zasa : [ during a meeting in Atlantic City ] I say to all of you, I have been treated this day, with no respect. I've earned you all money. I've made you rich, and I asked for little. Good. You will not give, I'll take! As for Don, Corleone, well he makes it, very clear to me today, that he is my enemy. You must choose between us. Share this quote Michael Corleone : [ after learning of Zasa's assassination ] Don't ever give an order like that again. Not while I'm alive. Vincent Mancini : Uncle Mike, it had to be done. You were too sick to make a decision. I got the go ahead from Neri and Connie. Michael Corleone : Connie. Vincent Mancini : It was the right thing to do.

[ Michael looks at Connie for a long time ] Connie : Yes! Michael Corleone : Vincent, help me to my bed. I want to talk to you alone. Michael Corleone : [ Vincent helps Michael into his bed ] My brother, your father, he and I. Opposites. But I never doubted his love. He would do anything for me. But his temper. Clouded his judgement. I don't want to see the same thing happen to you. Share this quote Joey Zasa : The Miucci association and elected you their Italian American man of the year.

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.

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.
