I remember that now! You're dead on. What's your new question? 
"The Godfather was a man to whom everybody came for help and never were they disappointed. He made no empty promises, nor the craven excuse that his hands were tied by more powerful forces in the world than himself. It was not necessary that he be your friend, it was not even important that you had no means with which to repay him. Only one thing was required. That you, yourself, proclaim your friendship. And then, no matter how poor or powerless the supplicant, the Godfather would take that person's troubles to his heart. He would let nothing stand in the way to a solution of that person's woe. His reward? Friendship, the respectful title 'Don' and sometimes the more affectionate salutation of 'Godfather.' Perhaps, to show respect only, never for profit, some humble gift - a gallon or homemade wine or a basket of fresh baked goods on a holiday. It was understood to proclaim that you were in his debt and that he had the right to call upon you at any time to redeem the debt by some small service." -- Mario Puzo, The Godfather (1969).

Post by Sicilian Babe Actually, wasn't Vito's father named Antonio, which anglicized is Anthony? Isn't that why his name is Anthony Vito Corleone, because he's named after his grandfather and great-grandfather? I'd have to check both the Novel and the Lebo book, but I think Don Sonny's correct and that Michael's son was named Anthony because that is the only name to which the young actor responded. Actually, I think the GFII reference to Antonio Andollini was either a great coincidence or the great-grandfather was named after the great-grandson. I'll look.

As for the Anthony discussion, Harlan Lebo confirms that the movie name Anthony came from the young actor's dependency on his own name. I've not checked the Novel yet. As for Santino's last words, they were "Come on!" New Question: What classic baseball game is playing on the radio when Sonny is killed?
