"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."



I couldn't have continued this project without reading The Godfather. I've seen the movie once, years ago - and, as per usual, reading the screenplay made me want to see it again (if only for Al Freaking Pacino). This screenplay was listed in the top five screenplays ever from a variety of sources. I can see why, and while that fact intimidates me before I've even gotten into analyzing it, I'm a rebel and I ignore that intimidation and blunder on anyway!
