From the transcript
You 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.
Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder for money. Such are the words of Don Vito Corleone, Marlon Brando's iconic character in Mario Puzo's novel, the Godfather, and in the Francis Ford Capola films of the same name.
Written as an amalgamation of real-life figures within the New York mafia, Vito Corleone represented the head of the fictional crime family that a powerful player within the shadowy underbelly of the American 1940s and 50s.
