maybe i like u for both

Don Corleone: We have known each other many years, but this is the first time you've come to me for counsel or for help. I can't remember the last time you invited me to your house for a cup of coffee, even though my wife is godmother to your only child. But let's be frank here. You never wanted my friendship. And you feared to be in my debt.
Bonasera: I didn't want to get into trouble.
Don Corleone: I understand. You found paradise in America. You had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. So you didn't need a friend like me. Now you come and say "Don Corleone, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me "Godfather." You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married and you ask me to do murder - for money.
Bonasera: I ask you for justice.
Don Corleone: That is not justice. Your daughter is alive.
Bonasera: Let them suffer then as she suffers.
[the Don is silent]
Bonasera: How much shall I pay you?
[the Don turns away dismissively, but Bonasera stays on]
Don Corleone: Bonasera, Bonasera, what have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, this scum who ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by some chance an honest man like yourself made enemies they would become my enemies. And then, they would fear you.
Bonasera: Be my friend... Godfather.
[the Don at first shrugs, but upon hearing the title he lifts his hand, and a humbled Bonasera kisses the ring on it]
Don Corleone: Good.
[He places his hand around Bonasera in a paternal gesture]
Don Corleone: Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, consider this justice a gift on my daughter's wedding day.
[a gratified Bonasera offers his thanks and leaves]
Don Corleone: [to Hagen] Give this job to Clemenza. I want reliable people, people who aren't going to be carried away. I mean, we're not murderers, in spite of what this undertaker thinks...
You should know by the respectful way I treat you and your posts that I adore your heart.

That's the risk everyone needs to take. Word for word.

You don't it's the risk you're gonna have to take to get a guy that's way too old for you!

SW-User
Hey now. Hardened criminals need love too! 😝
SW-User
@CityHigh12: Not that kind. 🙂 It's cute that you think so though.
VeronicaPrincess · 61-69
As the leader of the international criminal empire, I'm pretty sure you know just about everything there is to know about all of your potential suitors. 😚
NigelDoes · 56-60, M
Don't really know who you are, sorry.
SW-User
you just have to trust me.
LachrymoseLamer · 51-55, M
Ugh...what gave it away?
Degbeme · 70-79, M
You have a heart? 🤔
SW-User
Yes. It's just a little bit like the grinches whenever he still hated Christmas.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@CityHigh12: There you go now you have two. I clicked the hearts for your post. ;)
SW-User
Because I had no idea you even had an international criminal empire. Also because I love you despite that
Coppercoil · M
You just have to find someone else with their own criminal empire.
SW-User
And take them down....
Coppercoil · M
@CityHigh12: nice!

Who said I wanted your heart? Cutting it out would be far messier than taking your empire. 🤑
SW-User
Of course I like you for your heart...that controls a vast international criminal empire! :)
TheProphet · M
I'd love you for your heart, and I'd help you expand the International Criminal Empire.
tnjazz · 70-79, M
that is every criminals lament
SerenitiesScars · 36-40, M
o-o Oh, I'm sorry for the confusion... o-o Did I say your heart?? o-o Cuz I meant your international criminal empire..
ButchersGeneral · 36-40, M
A heart AND an international criminal empire? That's just silly. Now, about this empire of yours...
