“Sollozzo: I'm glad you came, Mike. I hope we can straighten everything out. I mean, this is terrible... it's not the way I wanted things to go at all. It should've never happened.
Michael: We'll straighten everything out tonight. I don't want my father bothered anymore.
Sollozzo: He won't be, Mike. I swear on my children he won't be. But you gotta keep an open mind when we talk. I mean, I hope you're not a hothead like your brother Sonny. You can't talk business with him.
Capt. McCluskey: Ahh, he's a good kid. I'm sorry about the other night, Mike. [Shakes Michael's hand] I gotta frisk you, so turn around, on your knees facing me. [Michael turns around, McCluskey frisks him] I guess I'm getting too old for my job. Too grouchy... can't stand the aggravation. You know how it is. [to Sollozzo] He's clean.”
