0:00.0 | Let's set the meeting. |
0:03.0 | Get our informers to find out where it's going to be held. |
0:08.0 | Now we insist it's a public place, a bar, a restaurant, some place where there's people so I feel safe. |
0:16.0 | You're going to search me when I first meet them, right? |
0:20.0 | So I can't have a weapon on me then. |
0:23.0 | But if Clemenza can figure a way to have a weapon planted there for me, then I'll kill him both. |
0:40.0 | Hello and welcome once again to the Cinefiles where this week we are continuing our truly epic exploration of the Godfather. |
0:47.0 | My name is Steve Morris, I'm a filmmaker and directing instructor in Los Angeles, California. |
0:52.0 | Hello everyone, my name is John Roca, I'm a writer, producer and host on the outlaw nation and a voiceover guy and a massive fan of both of these movies and certainly this movie that we're talking about today. |
1:03.0 | Do you feel that as the leader, one might say the dawn, the Godfather of the outlaw nation, that you are building your own empire and trying to go into like a more, you know, legitimate? |

1:32.0 | Yeah, I need a concierge, that's what I really need to take the outlaw. |
1:35.0 | And I need to be a little more, a little less worrying about what the other guy is doing, a little more about worrying what I'm doing and be a little more stronger about the things I need to do to take the channel to the next level. |
1:47.0 | So yes, if I could be as cutthroat as Michael and emotionless as Michael, I think this, the channel would be even farther ahead possibly. |
1:55.0 | Maybe you need to start making some people some offers they can't. |
1:58.0 | Yeah, but the exchange is the reason people love the channel so much is because it's a very open, receptive and warm and accepting channel. |
2:05.0 | So that's the exchange, that's the exchange. |
2:08.0 | Well, I think that's as we're going to get into that's the balance that Michael keeps trying to strike in the course of this, you know, series of films and never quite makes it to be legitimate. |
2:20.0 | You're right, Steve, that's seen in Godfather too, where he breaks down in front of his mom and says, how come they love dad? |
2:27.0 | And they don't love me the same way they love dad. His inability to understand how his coldness alienates everyone around him. |
