Michael Corelone and Carlo: The final meeting

MICHAEL: You have to answer for Santino, Carlo.

CARLO: Mike, you got it all wrong...

MICHAEL: You fingered Sonny for the Barzini people. Ahhh that little farce you played with my sister -- you think that could fool a Corleone?

CARLO: Mike, I'm innocent -- I swear on the kids, Mike -- Please, Mike, don't do this to me.

MICHAEL (as he pulls up his own chair) Sit down.

CARLO (sitting): Mike, don't do this to me, please...

MICHAEL: Barzini's dead. So is Phillip Tattaglia -- Moe Greene -- Strachi -- Cuneo -- Today I settled all Family business, so don't tell me you're innocent, Carlo. Admit what you did. (then, to Neri) Get him a drink.
