Does anybody know what Paulie says before he shoots Bernie (his third attempt to kill him) - it sounds Italian, and I'm curious what the Italian statement and the English translation are.
shareI've been wondering the same thing for years. It sounds like he says "coora-nu-toh."
shareActualy is cornuto and means cuckold.
shareyep,ur right,its "cornuto" allright...just ive always wondered wht he meant by THT..(it DOES mean a cuckold,but the "cornuto" of the case was...Vito,not Bernie :-)...well,im greek after all and not italian,n i dunno if our neighbours have other usages for this..however,OUR respective word,CAN be used for swearing,e.g. instead of saying ".bastard"...so,it was either a script goof(tryin make "Paulie" sound an original italian,but using the wrong word for the case),or it IS being used as a general swearing word in italian,just like it is used in greek...
