I am not so sure of that. The only two common ones I can think of from Casablanca are “Play it again Sam” and “Round up the usual suspects”
As opposed to “Bada Bing” “Leave the gun, bring the Canoli”
“It is time to go to the mattresses” “He made him an offer he couldn’t refuse” “Luca Brazzi sleeps with the fishes” and probably a lot more.
Of all the gin joints.....
Heres looking at you kid....
Play it again Sam.....
I'm Shocked.....
etc.
Are you sure you got your permission slip signed?
“You always had a thing for guys that get killed at toll booths, right?”
LOL!
The Godfather really is a great movie. Hubby and I stumbled onto it the other day and we just sat there a watched it through to the end.
And there I am, when Sonny is doomed, going NO NO NO, don’t let this happen....just like every time I see it.
Of course, if Sonny would have just shot Carlo when they had the fight on the street, that would have solved a lot of their problems.

Frankie was still the only high level mob boss who had been willing to rat Michael out. By keeping Frankie sequestered was the only leverage that the government had against Michael.
Eventually, the Fed would have tried to understand why Frankie had reneged on his testimony and would have attempted to overcome the obstacles and have Frankie testify against Michael in the future. Not being a court of law, double-jeopardy was not an issue.
This is why even though Frankie recanted before congress, Michael still wanted him dead to prevent him from testifying at some future time.
Also Frankie believed that it was Michael who tried to have him killed, remember when the Rosato Brother came up behind him and said, “Michael Corleone Says Hello”.
The question is, did they intentionally stop short of killing Pentageli, knowing then he would turn against Michael.
I liked Frankie "Five Angels", but Clemenza would have been better - but he (Richard Castellano) insisted on allowing his girlfriend the ability to edit his lines in Godfather II, and Coppola refused and wrote the part out of the script and replaced him with Pentangeli.
Maybe. I think it more likely that it was simply the necessary punishment for breaking omerta.
Watch Tattaglia during the meeting - he gives glances to Barzini indicating that there is some coordination there, and it's pretty clear that Barzini wants them involved in the drug trade.
Vito also had little respect for Tattaglia ("Tattaglia's a pimp. He could have never outfought Santino.") and knew someone else had to be backing him.
When I saw the movie in the theater I couldn’t believe the audience clapping at the end as the good guy mafia shot the bad guy mafia
People are so easily swayed
And the scene in III where the helicopters machine gun the room in the heart of a big city was plain absurd
If it had not been the toll-booth, Sonny would have been killed some other way. The whole point of Sonny’s character was to show what happened to a mobster who let emotion rule the day. In part II and Rothstein was explaining about Moe Green’s death, he kept saying that he knew that it was only business.
If you got emotional as a mobster, then you would never become an old mobster, as Sonny did not.
In part I when the Don and Michael are in the garden talking about the other families moving against Michael, the Don avowed as to how he knew that Santino would be a bad Don. He was unable to separate the business from the emotional.
Never said Play it again Sam
It was just play it Sam
And the line about of all the Gin Joints was plain corny for that type of venue
And the end line about This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship was even cornier
I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.
Are my eyes really brown?
We'll always have Paris
I remember every detail. The Germans wore grey. You wore blue.
I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
He knew Sonny was not fit because he opened his mouth too much, like when he opened up his mouth during the original meeting with the Turk ("Never tell anyone outside the Family what you're thinking again."). He unknowingly exposed Don Corleone, because the Turk figured with Vito out of the way, Sonny would be willing to make the deal. Vito probably never forgave Sonny for that.
Frankie didn’t die in the bar because the cop walking a beat came through the front door.
I believe that the other family wanted to torture Frankie with the final thought before his death that the head of his own family had turned on him.
Definitely my absolute favorite line from the movie. My father-in-law and I always joke about it when we go by an Italian bakery.
