A: Kay, ironically. Q: How much money did Roth tell Mike he would pay, jokingly, to urinate without pain? 
"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).

A: Vito Andolini was born in approximately 1892. He was 9 years old in 1901 when GFII begins at his father's funeral procession. Q: How much does a legitimate Nevada Gaming License Fee run in the 1958 Godfather II universe?

"less than $20.000" one last time: do the math. Vito Andolini was not born in 1901, and not in 1892. Like I said, it's tricky

Alrighty. One more time, then I have to get on with my life. 1891. Yes, Regis that's my final answer.

you are right!!!!
in 1901, Vito Andolini fled to America after his father died. He was then nine years old.
...arriving in America, obviously, it's summer. one can asume Vito arived in NY in the summer of 1901 at the age of 9.
at the end of the same movie, we learn that Vito's birthday is in December, the day Pearl Harbor was attacked.
in other words, Vito was yet to have his birthday in 1901, being his tenth, which makes him born in 1891!!!!
there are some questions about this.
for one thing, Vito's tombstone in the first movie says he was born in 1889. Another thing to be bothered with: Vito Andolini came to America with no ID, nothing except a name and he didn't even keep it, because he changed it into Corleone. Who knows what else he might have changed (like, his birthday? I doubt he had a proper birth certificate along with him).
but anyway, I strongly believe Vito was born in 1891.
Don Vanchenzo, what's the next question?

Grazie, Pherdy! The next question is (I doubt I can make it as challenging as your last question): What does Santino eat while organizing the Family after Don Vito's shooting?

I'm not positive, but I think it was an apple.  What was that last two words in GF and if you know, who said it? (If my answer above isn't correct, I'll use this question later, unless someone wants to answer.) TIS

Posted by TIS: I'm not positive, but I think it was an apple. Good guess, dear. Sonny took some hard-crusted bread and sopped up some sausage and peppers as a sloppy sandwich to eat while he was getting people on the phone. A: The first words in GFIII are: "My dear children." Q: In what other novel by Mario Puzo does Don Michael Corleone appear?

DV, I read that it was a "leech" under the glass they had on Fredo's stomach. I didn't see it in the movie either, but I read that it was a superstition used to draw out the virus or something. Not complaining mind you, but now I am curious. TIS
