Summary
Everyone knew that Al Neri was loyal beyond reason. This was not out of personal interest in backing a man who could help him rise to power. Many men followed Michael because with luck he would one day be Godfather. Al followed because, to all intents and purposes, Michael Corleone was God.
It would be years before this view changed, before the bodyguard grew up and, what’s more, grew a brain with which to actually think about Michael. In doing so, he discovered a host of new reasons to stay true.*Al Neri's perspective on events and the evolution of his feelings for his boss, from his first meeting with Michael in the novel to the final scene of the second film.*

Summary
Something ticked in Paul’s mind as the familiar words washed through him. When he looked at John, his friend was already looking at him. And suddenly, it all became clear: He remembered having that conversation more than 50 years ago. He remembered it too well.
He had been thinking about it for years, wondering what he should have understood, how he should have reacted. If it was as meaningful as it had felt or if his memory had just romanticized it.
“I don’t think a love like that obeys to any rules,” John went on, unaware of Paul’s agitation. “It’s not something that humans have created, not like a societal thing. It’s deeper than that, and that’s what some people are afraid of I guess, because they can’t control it. Whatever laws they create, they can never control it. A white lad will fall in love with a black girl.” He paused. “A lad with another lad. You know.”
