A formal expression of
proper acceptance. The courtesy to show
high regard, consideration or
honor. A gesture of greeting, esteem, or friendship.
Now you come and say "Don Corleone, give me
justice." But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me "Godfather." You come into my house on the
day my daughter is to be married and you ask me to do
murder - for money.
