It is considered to be one of the best movie lines of all time: “Leave the gun, take the cannoli.” Those words from “The Godfather” are spoken in a tragic scene that nevertheless generates laughter for its irony.

Along the way, Clemenza, the Corleone family’s head capo, needs to stop to deal with nature, if you know what I mean., While that is happening another gang member, Rocco, fatally shoots Pauli in the back of his head.
