  • The Godfather and every guy's worst nightmare

    The opening scene to the Godfather is one of the greatest scenes in American cinema:



    It opens with a funeral director begging the Godfather to avenge his daughter: 

    "I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion.

    I gave her freedom but I taught her never to dishonor her family. She found a "boy friend," not an Italian. She went to the movies with him. She stayed out late. I didn't protest. Two months ago he took her for a drive, with another boy friend. They made her drink whiskey and then they tried to take advantage of her.

    She resisted. She kept her honor. So they beat her. Like an animal. When I went to the hospital her nose was broken. Her jaw was shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't even weep because of the pain. But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life. A beautiful girl. Now she will never be beautiful again."

    I don't even know what I would do in this situation.  Actually I know, but I would spend the rest of my life in prison.

    If two guys tried to rape your daughter and then savagely beat her, what would you do?
