Sarah needs to give Bristol the Don Corleone talk, “ I have a sentimental weakness for my children and I spoil them as you can see. They talk when they should listen.”

“Never tell anyone outside of the family what you’re thinking again.”

“Never tell anyone outside of the family what you’re thinking again.”

The older I get, the more I see the wisdom in this. I am talking to myself as well. The older I get, the more I tell everyone what I think. But, I don’t mind telling Freeper family what I think!

When asked how the character Don Corleone was based on his mother, Mario Puzo said that he called his mom to tell her he got a $500,000 book advance for “the Godfather II”, the largest book advance in history at that time, later he got a call from his sister congratulating him on his 50,000 advance.

He called his mom and said “Mom, why are you telling the family I got 50,000, it was 500,000!” and she said “Baby, you GOT to play things a little closer to your vest.”
