My father made him an offer he couldn’t refuse – qoute


Michael Corleone:
When Johnny was first starting out, he was signed to this personal services contract with a big band leader. And as his career got better and better, he wanted to get out of it. Now, Johnny is my father’s godson and my father went to see this band leader and offered him $10,000 to let Johnny go, but the band leader said no. So the next day, my father went to see him, only this time with Luca Brasi and within an hour he signed the release for a certified check of $1000.
Kay Adams:
How did he do that?
Michael Corleone:
My father made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Kay Adams:
What was that?
Michael Corleone:
Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his brains or his signature would be on the contract. That’s a true story.

Michael Corleone:
That’s my family Kay, that’s not me.
