There are some lines in GF that, if you're bored and prone to daydreaming, are drop-dead hilarious when taken at face value.
"(the negotiator's) over at my house playing pinochle with a couple of my men; he's happy they're letting him win"
So, I picture this elated man throwing down yet another winning hand going, "GET OUT OF HERE!!!! IS THAT SOME KINDA LUCK OR WHAT????" Meanwhile, Clemenza's guys are going, "Wow, you're REALLY cleaning up there, boy," winking and smirking at each other while the negotiator's practically doing handstands.
"Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his brains or his signature would be on the contract"
OK, instant Blazing Saddles flashback. ("DO WHAT HE SAYYYY!!! DOOO WHAAAAT HEEE SAAAAYYYY!!!!!!")
"... and if that goomba tries any rough stuff, you tell him I ain't no bandleader!"
Woltz with the baton waving it madly as some of the musicians are struggling to keep tempo, some yawning, others talking amongst themselves, playing pinochle, etc.
"You touch my sister again, and I'll kill ya!"
Later that week, Carlo with a bruised face is in pajamas, reluctantly climbing in bed next to Connie. Due to the crazy hormones kicking in, she's over-the-top horny and tries to get Carlo going but he leaps out of bed nervously twitching a la Burt Campbell (Soap fans shout-out) and as calmly as possible saying, "Uhh... Connie, uhh, what're you doin'?"
You get the idea (I hope)
