The Godfather: Part III

— So… what do you want?
— I promised your wife I'd get you to go to confession.
— Now, why would you do that?
— She was very insistent. She made me.
— You're kind of fond of promising things you can't deliver on. Right, Father?

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I betrayed a man. A good man. An innocent man. A thief.

Take second best,
Put me to the test.
Things on your chest
You need to confess.
I will deliver,
You know I'm a forgiver.
