About This Quote

In the movie, The Godfather, a young Corleone girl named Connie falls in love with a young man who works for the family business. She spends a lot of time hanging out with him and soon falls in love. But when her father hears of her infatuation, he tells her that she can’t marry him because he isn’t family. She is heartbroken and loses hope of finding true happiness.

Then one day she meets a man named Fredo. Fredo is one of the most loyal men in the family and she thinks he will be a great husband and father to her children. But when news reaches her of his poor behavior, she decides to get even with him.

What she doesn’t know is that there is another reason for this behavior: Fredo has fallen in love with another woman.
