Michael Corleone:
Where does it say that you can't kill a cop? Tom Hagen:
Come on, Mikey... Michael Corleone:
Tom, wait a minute. I'm talking about a cop that's mixed up in drugs. I'm talking about a - a - a dishonest cop - a crooked cop who got mixed up in the rackets and got what was coming to him. That's a terrific story. And we have newspaper people on the payroll, don't we, Tom? [Tom nods] Michael Corleone:
And they might like a story like that. Tom Hagen:
They might, they just might. Michael Corleone:
[to Sonny]
It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business

-Where does it say you can't kill a cop?
-Mikey...
00:00:06.059 --> 00:00:12.068
I'm talking about a cop who's mixed up
in drugs, a dishonest cop.
00:00:13.072 --> 00:00:18.002
A cop who got mixed up in the rackets
and got what was coming.
00:00:18.014 --> 00:00:22.069
That's a terrific story. We have
newspaper people on the payroll, right?
00:00:24.015 --> 00:00:27.098
-They might like a story like that.
-They might.
00:00:31.065 --> 00:00:35.024
It's not personal, Sonny.
It's strictly business.
00:00:38.045 --> 00:00:39.099
It's as cold as they come.
00:00:40.998 --> 00:00:43.033
Impossible to trace,
so you don't worry about prints.
00:00:43.075 --> 00:00:47.079
I put a special tape on the trigger
and the butt. Try it.
00:00:59.097 --> 00:01:02.002
Is the trigger too tight?
00:01:05.039 --> 00:01:06.999
My ears!
00:01:06.069 --> 00:01:11.999
I left it noisy, so it scares away any
pain-in-the-ass innocent bystanders.
00:01:12.999 --> 00:01:15.001
You've shot them both.
Now what do you do?
00:01:17.078 --> 00:01:21.045
-Sit down, finish my dinner.
-Don't fool around.
00:01:21.001 --> 00:01:25.998
Let your hand drop to your side
and let the gun slip out.
