The line about “make him an offer he can’t refuse” appears three times in The Godfather (1972):
• “My father made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.” Michael (Al Pacino) tells Kay (Diane Keaton) about Vito’s (Marlon Brando’s) threats against a bandleader.
• “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.” Vito tells Johnny Fontane not to worry about movie producer Jack Woltz.
• “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.” Michael tells Fredo (John Cazale) how he’s going to buy out Moe Greene.
Does the phrase “an offer he can’t refuse” appear in The Godfather, Part II (1974)?
The phrase “an offer he can’t refuse” appeared only once in The Godfather, Part II (1974), in a variant form.
Young Vito Corleone (Robert DeNiro) tells Clemenza (Bruno Kirby), with reference to Fanucci (Gaston Moschin), “I’ll make him an offer he don’t refuse.”
