My friend and I...
1:03:08
...we drink to the gracious ladies
of this house.

1:03:16
To the gracious ladies.
1:03:22
It's time for me to speak.
1:03:25
I speak now for the future,
not for the past...

1:03:28
...which has sometimes
been unhappy.

1:03:33
From today, Donna Letizia,
I wish to be your friend.

1:03:37
For friendship is everything.
Friendship...

1:03:47
Friendship is more than beauty,
more than talent.

1:03:51
More than government.
More than anything except the family.

1:03:55
And perhaps one day, Donna Letizia,
you and your fine daughter...

1:04:00
...may have need of friendship.
Need of a friend.

1:04:04
A friend rather than a lawyer...
1:04:06
...who will lead you in circles
and take your money.

1:04:08
Or the police, who will end up only
by offending and upsetting you.

1:04:15
And if such a day should come,
I trust that you will turn to me...

1:04:19
...a friend of Joseph Valachi...
1:04:22
...a member of your family,
and the man whose friends...

1:04:26
...can be counted among
those who have respect...

1:04:30
...not only in this city, in this country,
but beyond the seas.

1:04:38
Donna Letizia, I await your answer.
1:04:51
Damn it, Mama, say yes!
1:04:54
Yes.
1:04:58
Mr. Genovese, you'll never know
today what you just did.
