My new favorite Godfather line . . . . .

Actor Richard Castellano as Fat Clemenza, when, upon retuning to the gang after killing the Don's driver, Paulie ("Leave the gun. Take the canolli&quot is asked by Sonny about Paulie's whereabouts, he answers: "Oh, Paulie? You won' see him no more."

15 years for Manaforte is quite possibly a life sentence. I hope his hair dye supply lasts that long.

Richard Castellano was the personification of the prototypical 1940s mafioso, before the glamor set in.

on edit: I just googled him. Turns out Paul Castellano, almost 20 years older, and the former head of the Gambino Family in NYC, is his cousin!

Castellano is not an uncommon name. I knew of both men, but never made the connection.
