Jack Woltz:
All right, start talking!
Tom Hagen:
I come from a personal friend of Mr Johnny Fontane. That friend promises his undying friendship if you would do him a small favour.
Jack Woltz:
What's that?
Tom Hagen:
Give Johnny a part in that war movie you're starting next week.
[Woltz signs a document with a smile and walks away, Hagen alongside him]
Jack Woltz:
And what favours does this friend promise in exchange for giving Johnny the part?
Tom Hagen:
You've got some labour trouble coming up. My client promises to make that trouble disappear. You have a top star who makes a lot of money, but he just graduated from marijuana to heroin...
Jack Woltz:
[all East Side now]
Are you trying to muscle me?
Tom Hagen:
Absolutely not. I've come to ask a service for a friend...
Jack Woltz:
Now you listen to me, you smooth-talking son-of-a-bitch, let me lay it on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is! Johnny Fontane will never get that movie! I don't care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork!
Tom Hagen:
I'm German-Irish.
Jack Woltz:
Well, let me tell you something, my kraut-mick friend, I'm gonna make so much trouble for you, you won t know what hit you!
Tom Hagen:
Mr. Woltz, I'm a lawyer. I have not threatened you.
Jack Woltz:
I know almost every big lawyer in New York, who the hell are you?
Tom Hagen:
I have a special practice. I handle one client. Now you have my number, I'll wait for your call. By the way, I admire your pictures very much.

Jack Woltz:

00:00:00.083 --> 00:00:03.058
This friend would give
his friendship to Mr. Woltz,
00:00:03.066 --> 00:00:06.005
if Mr. Woltz would grant us a favor.
00:00:06.058 --> 00:00:08.092
Woltz is listening.
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.009
Give Johnny the part in that war film
you're starting next week.
00:00:18.008 --> 00:00:23.081
And what favor would your friend
grant Mr. Woltz?
00:00:23.089 --> 00:00:27.044
He could make your future union
problems disappear.
00:00:27.052 --> 00:00:31.061
And one of your stars has just moved
from marijuana to heroin.
00:00:31.069 --> 00:00:35.099
Are you trying to muscle me?
Listen, you son-of-a-bitch!
00:00:36.007 --> 00:00:38.066
Let me lay it on the line.
00:00:38.074 --> 00:00:40.074
Johnny Fontane
will never get that movie!
00:00:40.087 --> 00:00:45.037
No matter how many Dago Guinea
greaseballs come out of the woodwork!
00:00:45.045 --> 00:00:49.029
-I'm German-Irish.
-Listen here, my Kraut-Mick friend.
00:00:49.037 --> 00:00:53.075
-I'm going to make trouble for you!
-I'm a lawyer. I haven't threatened...
00:00:53.084 --> 00:00:57.022
I know New York's big lawyers.
Who are you?
00:00:57.003 --> 00:01:00.084
I have a special practice.
I handle one client.
00:01:00.093 --> 00:01:02.093
I'll wait for your call.
00:01:04.001 --> 00:01:07.064
By the way,
I admire your pictures very much.
00:01:12.044 --> 00:01:13.094
Check him out.
00:01:36.999 --> 00:01:39.005
-It's really beautiful.
-Look at this.
00:01:39.003 --> 00:01:43.999
-It used to decorate a king's palace.
-Very nice.
00:01:43.001 --> 00:01:46.002
Why didn't you say
you work for Corleone?
00:01:46.001 --> 00:01:50.039
I thought you were some cheap hustler
Johnny was running in.
00:01:50.048 --> 00:01:53.081
-I only use his name when necessary.
-How's your drink?
00:01:53.094 --> 00:01:57.001
-Fine.
-Now I'll show you something beautiful.
00:01:57.048 --> 00:02:00.993
You do appreciate beauty, don't you?
00:02:03.001 --> 00:02:06.998
There you are. $600,000 on four hoofs.
00:02:06.016 --> 00:02:10.012
I bet Russian czars never paid
that for a single horse.
00:02:10.001 --> 00:02:11.075
Khartoum.
00:02:12.037 --> 00:02:13.999
Khartoum.
00:02:15.001 --> 00:02:19.059
I'm not going to race him, though.
I'm going to put him out to stud.
00:02:21.999 --> 00:02:22.072
Thanks, Tony.
00:02:23.999 --> 00:02:26.001
Let's get something to eat.
00:02:26.999 --> 00:02:29.001
Corleone is Johnny's godfather.
00:02:30.001 --> 00:02:34.044
To the Italian people that's
a very sacred, close relationship.
00:02:34.001 --> 00:02:38.044
I respect it.
Tell him to ask me anything else.
00:02:38.053 --> 00:02:40.001
This favor I can't give him.
00:02:40.094 --> 00:02:44.001
He never asks a second favor
when he's been refused the first.
00:02:44.001 --> 00:02:50.005
You don't understand.
Johnny Fontane never gets that movie.
00:02:50.001 --> 00:02:54.025
That part is perfect for him.
It'll make him a big star.
00:02:54.037 --> 00:02:58.001
I'm going to run him out of the business,
and let me tell you why.
00:03:00.001 --> 00:03:05.999
Johnny Fontane ruined one of Woltz
International's most valuable protégés.
00:03:05.022 --> 00:03:10.999
We trained her for five years.
Singing, acting, dancing lessons.
00:03:10.072 --> 00:03:15.031
I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars
on her, to make her a big star.
00:03:15.001 --> 00:03:18.019
Let me be even more frank.
00:03:18.001 --> 00:03:23.028
To show you that I'm not a hard-hearted
man. That it's not all dollars and cents.
00:03:23.001 --> 00:03:26.001
She was beautiful.
She was young and innocent!
00:03:27.993 --> 00:03:32.005
She's the greatest piece of ass I've had
and I've had them all over the world.
00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:38.001
Then Johnny Fontane comes along with
his olive oil voice and Guinea charm.
00:03:38.999 --> 00:03:40.005
And she runs off.
00:03:41.084 --> 00:03:45.001
She threw it all away
just to make me look ridiculous!
00:03:46.909 --> 00:03:51.001
And a man in my position can't afford
to be made to look ridiculous!
