I know the popular opinion is that Part 2 better, but I think I'd give the edge to the first one. They're both excellent, though.

Yeah this is probably the scene I’m thinking of. But in my head I’m hearing it with like a Northeast/Boston accent saying “he’ll be smaht” ... guess I could be making the whole thing up.Rangi Guy wrote:Bammer wrote:What movie is it where the (main?) male character is going to have a kid and he says something to the effect of “he won’t be like me, he’ll be smart” all teary eyed?

Aha! You are exactly right. It was Fredo trying to explain that he is smart. Damn, tree, nice work.
