Bene. Don Corleone. I need a man who has powerful friends.
I need a million dollars in
cash. I need, Don Corleone, those politicians that you carry in your pocket, like so many
nickels and dimes.
VITO CORLEONE
What is the interests for my family?
SOLLOZZO
Thirty percent. In the first year, your end should be three- four-million dollars. And then it
would go up.
VITO CORLEONE
And what is the interest for the Tattaglia Family?
SOLLOZZO (to Tom)
My compliments.
(then to Don Corleone)
I'll take care of the Tattaglia's, outta my share.
VITO CORLEONE
So I receive thirty percent for finance -- political influence, and legal protection, that's what
your telling me?
SOLLOZZO
That's right
VITO CORLEONE
Why do you come to me? Why do I deserve this generosity?
SOLLOZZO
If you consider a million dollars in cash just finance, te salute, Don Corleone."
