Celie: He just climb on top of me and do his business. Shug: "Do his business"? You sound like he going to the toilet on you. Celie: That's what it feel like. Shug: Why then, Miss Celie... that means you still a virgin!
Michael Corleone: C'mon Frankie... my father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth. Frank Pentangeli: Your father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth... but he never *trusted* Hyman Roth!
