92 The Godfather Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Undertaker, baker, hitman

The undertaker wants Don Corleone to avenge the sexual assault of his daughter. The baker wants his future son-in-law to not be deported. Luca Brasi, the hitman and bodyguard, wants to thank him for just being invited.

Answer: Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando)

This quote takes place in Vito Corleone's office, during the wedding reception of his daughter Connie (Talia Shire) to gangster Carlo Rizzi (Gianni Russo). Singer Johnny Fontane (Al Martino) has complained to the Godfather that he won't be getting a role in an upcoming war movie that he really wanted. When the Godfather says he will help, Fontane says, "It's too late, they start shooting in a week." Vito Corleone then says this quote. There is some speculation that this sequence was partially inspired by Frank Sinatra's role of Private Maggio in the war movie "From Here to Eternity" (for which Sinatra won the 1954 Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role). Note: Later in the movie, when Michael Corleone says he plans to buy out Moe Green's Las Vegas casino interest, his brother Fredo says, "Hey, Mike, are you sure about that? Moe loves the business -- he never said nothin' to me about selling." Michael Corleone then says a similar quote. He is not a choice in this question to avoid any confusion.

Answer: Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando)

In this opening scene in the movie, undertaker Amerigo Bonasera (Salvatore Corsitto) is telling the Godfather (Marlon Brando) how his daughter has been savagely beaten up when she tried to keep her honor. He had gone through the regular justice system, but the boys involved got off with suspended sentences. He has now come to the Godfather for some real justice. After hearing his story, the Godfather asks, "Why did you go to the police? Why didn't you come to me first?" and then this quote. The cat held by Marlon Brando on his lap in the opening scene of "The Godfather" was a stray the actor found while on the lot at Paramount, and was not originally called for in the script.

Answer: Michael Corleone (Al Pacino)

This quote also takes place during the wedding of Vito Corleone's daughter Connie (Talia Shire) to gangster Carlo Rizzi (Gianni Russo). In this scene Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) is talking to his girlfriend, Kay Adams (Diane Keaton), and tells her this story about his family. Other actors considered for the part of Michael included Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford and Ryan O'Neal.

Answer: Luca Brasi (Lenny Montana)

This quote takes place at the wedding reception of Vito Corleone's daughter Connie (Talia Shire) to gangster Carlo Rizzi (Gianni Russo). In this scene Corleone henchman Luca Brasi (Lenny Montana) is offering his best wishes to Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando). Although Luca Brasi rehearses his speech (out loud, to himself) as "Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your home on the wedding day of your daughter. And may their first child be a masculine child," when he is ushered in to see Don Corleone he becomes tongue-tied and says it slightly differently. The quote in this question is the version he says to the Godfather. The wedding is supposedly modeled on the real-life wedding of mobster Bill Bonanno (son of Brooklyn Mafia Don Joe Bonanno) in 1956 to Rosalie Profaci, niece of one of the heads of another of the five New York crime families (as described in the book "Bound By Honor: A Mafioso's Story" by Bill Bonanno, St. Martin's Press). Luca Brasi was a former professional wrestler who wrestled under the name "The Bull."

Answer: Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall)

Corleone consiglieri Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) has flown to Hollywood to deliver a request from Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) to movie producer Jack Woltz (John Marley). He would like his friend, singer Johnny Fontane (Al Martino), to be given a role in an upcoming war movie being made by Woltz. Fontane is anxious to get this part because "it's a guy just like me. I, uh -- I wouldn't even have to act -- just be myself." But Woltz refuses the request, saying, "Johnny Fontane never gets that movie. That part is perfect for him, it'll make him a big star, and I'm gonna run him out of the business - and let me tell you why. Johnny Fontane ruined one of Woltz International's most valuable proteges." At dinner that evening, Woltz says, "...he should ask me anything else. But this is one favor I can't give him." Hagen then replies with this quote.

Answer: Jack Woltz (John Marley)

In the events leading up to this quote, adopted Corleone son Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) has flown to Hollywood to deliver a request from Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) to movie producer Jack Woltz (John Marley). He would like his friend, singer Johnny Fontane (Al Martino), to be given a role in an upcoming war movie being made by Woltz. Fontane is anxious to get this part because "it's a guy just like me. I uh -- I wouldn't even have to act -- just be myself." When Woltz hears the request to include Fontane in his upcoming movie, he says absolutely not. He explains to Tom that Fontane had earlier seduced one of his proteges and then says this quote. There is some speculation this sequence was partially inspired by Frank Sinatra's role of Private Maggio in the war movie "From Here to Eternity" (for which Sinatra won the 1954 Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role).
