From The Godfather

Johnny Fontaine is in the Godfather's office.

He is crying and he says "Oh Godfather, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do."

The Godfather jumps up from his chair, grabs Johnny by the wrists, shakes him vigorously and yells angrily "You can act like a man." Then he slaps him. And says "What's the matter with you? Is this how you turn out, a Hollywood finocchio that crys like a woman?"

The Godfather then mocks him by pretending to cry and repeating "What can I do? What can I do?"

Tom Hagen is sitting in the corner of the room laughing.

Fantastic scene.

But it often makes me cringe - for myself.

Must be something there, no?
