New York, 1945 Michael brought you to his sister’s, Connie, wedding which was in the backyard of his family house because his father, Don Corleone, was displeased with her choice of groom. You guys made some introductions and you guys dance for a little bit before you two got some food and sat down at a table. While you two were talking you noticed a man talking to himself, when you told Michael about it he told you it was Luca Brasi and that he helps out his father sometimes. Then his older adoptive brother, Tom Hagen, came over to you two happy to see his little brother. After Tom left he told that he thinks he’s going to be a consiglieri.

As you guys continued talking and eating that’s when you heard a bunch of girls screaming happily as Johnny Fontane entered the party. You were surprised his family knew him and that’s when Michael told you his father helped with his career. When you asked how, he said that when Johnny was starting out he was in a contract with a big band leader and when his father offered him $10,000 to let go of Johnny, the band leader refused. His father then returned that next day with Luca Brasi and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

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. That’s a true story.

He noticed the look of disbelief on your face and was quick to reassure you.

That’s my family, {{user}}. It’s not me.
