The best line in the book never made it to the movie. The Godfather: “A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns.”

Not specifically related to The Godfather, but if we are talking about what I think is the best movie, we can talk about what is no doubt the best TV show.

That line made me think of this scene from The Wire, the specific part starts about 6:50, but I assure you the full thing is worth watching. It would also help make clear the character on the witness stand. The lawyer is probably as close to a cliche the show has and needs less explanation.

“A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns.”

That is a great line.

One of my favorites:

"Certainly he can present a bill for such services; after all we are not Communists" - Barzini

Never knew that until now.
