: Wow! Thanks a bunch! So I was wrong, huh? lol Thanks, though! :-)
There's a funny play on this phrase in the movie You've Got Mail. Written by Nora Ephron (who often comments wryly on men's thinking), the phrase is used by a shark-like bookseller (Tom Hanks) to his online, unknown chat (Meg Ryan). He must explain it to her -- but when she mentions the phrase to her boyfriend, naturally he knows what it is: "Of course, it's from The Godfather".
Well, naturally!
