Just before Michael shoots Sollozzo and McCluskey, what are Michael and Sollozzo saying to each other in Italian? [Solozzo: (indicating Michael's broken jaw) I'm sorry.
Michael: Are you serious?
Solozzo: You must understand that what happened between me and your father was a business matter. I have great respect for your father, but your father is an old-fashioned man. He doesn't understand that I am a man of honor.
Michael: Don't tell me these things. I know them.
Solozzo: You know? You know, I have helped the Tattaglia family. I think, we can come to an agreement. I want peace. And let's stop all that nonsense.
Michael: Do you want to play...um
Solozzo: What?
Michael: How do you say..? What I want, what is most important to me is that I have a guarantee.]

What is the name of the melody/song that is played just after Michael shoots Sollozzo and McCluskey? It is played while you see some newspapers with big headlines etc. [The mattress montage music is called "This loneliness" It is written and preformed by F.F.C's father.]
When Clemenza is explaining to Michael how to shoot Sollozzo and McCluskey, he says to take no chances and shoot them both twice in the head. I know he shoots McCluskey twice, but am I correct that he only shot Sollozzo once in the head? (I realize this was Michael's first murder and he was extremely antsy and nervous and may have forgotten and it doesn't really matter since Sollozzo died anyway.) I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing a shot. [He did shoot Sollozzo only once. This is explained in the book. After shooting Sollozzo, Michael instinctively knew the first shot was fatal, and he purposely ignored Clemenza's instructions.]

When Michael is doing his first "godfather-job" they are in a very big church/cathedral. Does anyone know what that is named. [I'm pretty sure it is Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Manhatten, NYC.]
