It
's
foolishness
.
So
I
say
now
,
let
things
be
as
they
were
before
.
I
have
not
taken
any
steps
to
learn
who
betrayed
and
killed
my
son
.
Given
peace
,
I
will
not
do
so
.
I
have
a
son
who
can
not
come
home
and
I
must
receive
assurances
that
when
I
arrange
matters
so
that
he
can
return
safely
that
there
will
be
no
interference
,
no
danger
from
the
authorities
.
Once
that
's
settled
maybe
we
can
talk
about
other
matters
that
interest
us
and
do
ourselves
,
all
of
us
,
a
profitable
service
today
.
"
Corleone
gestured
expressively
,
submissively
,
with
his
hands
.
"
That
is
all
I
want
.
"
It
was
very
well
done
.
It
was
the
Don
Corleone
of
old
.
Reasonable
.
Pliant
.
Soft-spoken
.
But
every
man
there
had
noted
that
he
had
claimed
good
health
,
which
meant
he
was
a
man
not
to
be
held
cheaply
despite
the
misfortunes
of
the
Corleone
Family
.
It
was
noted
that
he
had
said
the
discussion
of
other
business
was
useless
until
the
peace
he
asked
for
was
given
.
It
was
noted
that
he
had
asked
for
the
old
status
quo
,
that
he
would
lose
nothing
despite
his
having
got
the
worst
of
it
over
the
past
year
.
However
,
it
was
Emilio
Barzini
who
answered
Don
Corleone
,
not
Tattaglia
.
He
was
curt
and
to
the
point
without
being
rude
or
insulting
.
"
That
is
all
true
enough
,
"
Barzini
said
.
"
But
there
's
a
little
more
.
Don
Corleone
is
too
modest
.
The
fact
is
that
Sollozzo
and
the
Tattaglias
could
not
go
into
their
new
business
without
the
assistance
of
Don
Corleone
.
In
fact
,
his
disapproval
injured
them
.
That
's
not
his
fault
of
course
.
The
fact
remains
that
judges
and
politicians
who
would
accept
favors
from
Don
Corleone
,
even
on
drugs
,
would
not
allow
themselves
to
be
influenced
by
anybody
else
when
it
came
to
narcotics
.
Sollozzo
could
n't
operate
if
he
did
n't
have
some
insurance
of
his
people
being
treated
gently
.
We
all
know
that
.
We
would
all
be
poor
men
otherwise
.
And
now
that
they
have
increased
the
penalties
the
judges
and
the
prosecuting
attorneys
drive
a
hard
bargain
when
one
of
our
people
get
in
trouble
with
narcotics
.
Even
a
Sicilian
sentenced
to
twenty
years
might
break
the
omerta
and
talk
his
brains
out
.
That
ca
n't
happen
.
Don
Corleone
controls
all
that
apparatus
.
His
refusal
to
let
us
use
it
is
not
the
act
of
a
friend
.
He
takes
the
bread
out
of
the
mouths
of
our
families
.
Times
have
changed
,
it
's
not
like
the
old
days
where
everyone
can
go
his
own
way
.
If
Corleone
had
all
the
judges
in
New
York
,
then
he
must
share
them
or
let
us
others
use
them
.
Certainly
he
can
present
a
bill
for
such
services
,
we
're
not
communists
,
after
all
.
But
he
has
to
let
us
draw
water
from
the
well
.
It
's
that
simple
.
"
When
Barzini
had
finished
talking
there
was
a
silence
.
The
lines
were
now
drawn
,
there
could
be
no
return
to
the
old
status
quo
.
What
was
more
important
was
that
Barzini
by
speaking
out
was
saying
that
if
peace
was
not
made
he
would
openly
join
the
Tattaglia
in
their
war
against
the
Corleone
.
And
he
had
scored
a
telling
point
.
Their
lives
and
their
fortunes
depended
upon
their
doing
each
other
services
,
the
denial
of
a
favor
asked
by
a
friend
was
an
act
of
aggression
.
Favors
were
not
asked
lightly
and
so
could
not
be
lightly
refused
.
Don
Corleone
finally
spoke
to
answer
.
"
My
friends
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
did
n't
refuse
out
of
spite
.
You
all
know
me
.
When
have
I
ever
refused
an
accommodation
?
That
's
simply
not
in
my
nature
.
But
I
had
to
refuse
this
time
.
Why
?
Because
I
think
this
drug
business
will
destroy
us
in
the
years
to
come
.
There
is
too
much
strong
feeling
about
such
traffic
in
this
country
.
It
's
not
like
whiskey
or
gambling
or
even
women
which
most
people
want
and
is
forbidden
them
by
the
pezzonovante
of
the
church
and
the
government
.
But
drugs
are
dangerous
for
everyone
connected
with
them
.
It
could
jeopardize
all
other
business
.
And
let
me
say
I
'm
flattered
by
the
belief
that
I
am
so
powerful
with
the
judges
and
law
officials
,
I
wish
it
were
true
.
I
do
have
some
influence
but
many
of
the
people
who
respect
my
counsel
might
lose
this
respect
if
drugs
become
involved
in
our
relationship
.
They
are
afraid
to
be
involved
in
such
business
and
they
have
strong
feelings
about
it
.
Even
policemen
who
help
us
in
gambling
and
other
things
would
refuse
to
help
us
in
drugs
.
So
to
ask
me
to
perform
a
service
in
these
matters
is
to
ask
me
to
do
a
disservice
to
myself
.
But
I
'm
willing
to
do
even
that
if
all
of
you
think
it
proper
in
order
to
adjust
other
matters
.
"
When
Don
Corleone
had
finished
speaking
the
room
became
much
more
relaxed
with
more
whisperings
and
cross
talk
.
He
had
conceded
the
important
point
.
He
would
offer
his
protection
to
any
organized
business
venture
in
drugs
.
He
was
,
in
effect
,
agreeing
almost
entirely
to
Sollozzo
's
original
proposal
if
that
proposal
was
endorsed
by
the
national
group
gathered
here
.
It
was
understood
that
he
would
never
participate
in
the
operational
phase
,
nor
would
he
invest
his
money
.
He
would
merely
use
his
protective
influence
with
the
legal
apparatus
.
But
this
was
a
formidable
concession
.
