About this quote

Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) speaks this line early in The Godfather (1972), directed by Francis Ford Coppola and adapted from Mario Puzo's novel. He is reproaching his son Sonny for discussing business in front of outsiders during the wedding reception, but the larger sentiment — that family is a man's first obligation — is the moral center of the Corleone patriarch's worldview throughout the film.
