The Godfather Quotes

by Maggie Pehanick 1

Everyone loves a good Godfather quote. People even quote the movie in other movies, like in You've Got Mail when Tom Hanks told Meg Ryan to "go to the mattresses." And that other time in You've Got Mail when Tom Hanks was all, "What day of the week is it? 'Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday." Solid gold. Check out the bits we find ourselves quoting below and let us know what your favorite lines are!

• "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." — Don Corleone
• "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." — Clemenza
• "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!" — Michael Corleone
