Well, Ken, I’m going to ask you some questions while I eat my chips. First: Who was the philosopher who developed the concept of the Superman in _Also Sprach Zarathustra_? No? That’s a chip up the nose, I’m afraid. Friedrich Nietzsche. Next: In which book did Nietzsche claim that almost all higher culture is based on cruelty? Are you thinking or are you in mid-stutter? _Beyond Good and Evil_. Guess I’ll have to ask you an easy one, huh, Ken? OK. Um…let me think, let me think. Um…where are the diamonds?

I understand. You found paradise in America, you had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. You didn’t need a friend like me. But, now you come to me, and you say: “Don Corleone, give me justice.” But you don’t ask with respect. You don’t offer friendship. You don’t even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder for money.
