In “The Godfather Part II,” who said to Michael Corleone, “I despise the way you pose yourself. You and your whole fucking family?” And to whom Corleone replied: “We’re both part of the same hypocrisy, senator, but never think it applies to my family. … My offer is this: nothing. Not even the $20,000 for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally”?
