Do you know recognise these quotes?

"Can you get me off the hook? For old times' sake? And "Can't do it Sally?"

I ask because we were discussing famous film quotes and though the film itself is very famous, I think these are quotes from a scene that many casual filmgoers as opposed to fans, wouldn't necessarily recognise as being from the movie? Just curious to know how many people know it?

And yes, we probably need a life.

I think there are lots more famous/well known quotes from The Godfather.

But this is a brilliant scene and, as you say, fans would know it.

Nope

If you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

Apparently, it does make it onto the list on this random website

My fav is “Leave the gun. Take the Cannoli”

I’m overly invested in your Godfather quite discussion 😅

It is a brilliant scene. I still feel sorry for poor Tessio.

That's a great one and it has to be one of the most famous. Thank you for the link too. Lots of good ones there though number 6 should read "It's a Sicilian message."

That should say movie quotes sorry.

In the USA - movie

In the UK - film

They definitely do. It drives me crazy when they keep waffling on, allowing him time to make a plan of escape but I guess that the James Bond franchise would be incredibly brief if not.

I love this quote and was very miffed to see it had already been taken as a username on MN. Envy

You should make said username an offer that they can't refuse.
