Tom Hagen:
Mr Corleone is Johnny Fontane's godfather. Now Italians regard that as a very close, a very sacred religious relationship.
Jack Woltz:
Tell your boss he can ask for anything else, but this is one favour I can't grant him.
Tom Hagen:
Mr. Corleone never asks a second favor once he's refused the first, understood?
Jack Woltz:
You don't understand. Johnny Fontane never gets that movie. That part is perfect for him. It'll make him a big star. I'm gonna run him out of the movies. And let me tell you why. Johnny Fontane ruined one of Woltz International's most valuable proteges. For three years we had her under contract, singing lessons, dancing lessons, acting lessons. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. I was gonna make her a big star. And let me be even more frank, just to show you that I'm not a hard-hearted man, that it's not all dollars and cents. She was beautiful! She was young, she was innocent. She was the greatest piece of ass I've ever had, and I've had 'em all over the world. And then Johnny Fontaine comes along with his olive oil voice and guinea charm and she runs off. She threw it all away just to make me look ridiculous. And a man in my position can't afford to be made to look ridiculous. Now you get the hell out of here! And if that goomba tries any rough stuff, you tell him I ain't no bandleader. Yeah, I heard that story.
[Hagen has been calmly eating his meal throughout Woltz's tirade]
Tom Hagen:
Thank you for the dinner and a very pleasant evening. Have your car take me to the airport. Mr Corleone is a man who insists on hearing bad news at once.

Corleone is Johnny's godfather.
00:00:06.066 --> 00:00:11.008
To the Italian people that's
a very sacred, close relationship.
00:00:11.016 --> 00:00:15.008
I respect it.
Tell him to ask me anything else.
00:00:15.017 --> 00:00:17.005
This favor I can't give him.
00:00:17.058 --> 00:00:20.088
He never asks a second favor
when he's been refused the first.
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:27.014
You don't understand.
Johnny Fontane never gets that movie.
00:00:27.022 --> 00:00:30.089
That part is perfect for him.
It'll make him a big star.
00:00:31.002 --> 00:00:35.001
I'm going to run him out of the business,
and let me tell you why.
00:00:37.001 --> 00:00:41.078
Johnny Fontane ruined one of Woltz
International's most valuable protégés.
00:00:41.086 --> 00:00:47.024
We trained her for five years.
Singing, acting, dancing lessons.
00:00:47.036 --> 00:00:51.095
I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars
on her, to make her a big star.
00:00:52.999 --> 00:00:54.083
Let me be even more frank.
00:00:54.091 --> 00:00:59.092
To show you that I'm not a hard-hearted
man. That it's not all dollars and cents.
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.063
She was beautiful.
She was young and innocent!
00:01:03.071 --> 00:01:09.014
She's the greatest piece of ass I've had
and I've had them all over the world.
00:01:09.022 --> 00:01:15.999
Then Johnny Fontane comes along with
his olive oil voice and Guinea charm.
00:01:15.001 --> 00:01:17.014
And she runs off.
00:01:18.048 --> 00:01:22.999
She threw it all away
just to make me look ridiculous!
00:01:22.001 --> 00:01:27.999
And a man in my position can't afford
to be made to look ridiculous!
00:01:27.001 --> 00:01:30.999
You get the hell out of here!
00:01:30.999 --> 00:01:34.007
If that goombah tries any rough stuff,
tell him I'm no bandleader.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.000
Yeah, I heard that story.
00:01:39.083 --> 00:01:43.084
Thank you for dinner
and a very pleasant evening.
00:01:43.092 --> 00:01:46.008
Maybe your car can take me
to the airport.
00:01:46.088 --> 00:01:50.047
Mr. Corleone insists on hearing
bad news immediately.
00:03:43.016 --> 00:03:47.003
-You're not too tired, are you, Tom?
-No, I slept on the plane.
00:03:47.999 --> 00:03:50.999
I have the Sollozzo notes here.
00:03:50.034 --> 00:03:51.059
Now...
00:03:53.001 --> 00:03:57.999
Sollozzo is known as The Turk.
00:03:57.022 --> 00:03:59.001
He's supposed to be very good
with a knife,
00:03:59.999 --> 00:04:03.069
but only in matters of business
with reasonable complaint.
00:04:03.001 --> 00:04:07.001
His business is narcotics.
00:04:07.001 --> 00:04:10.999
He has fields in Turkey,
where they grow poppy.
00:04:10.999 --> 00:04:14.001
In Sicily he has plants
to process them into heroin.
00:04:14.001 --> 00:04:17.001
He needs cash,
he needs protection from the police.
00:04:18.993 --> 00:04:22.000
He'll give a piece of the action.
I don't know how much.
00:04:22.012 --> 00:04:27.998
The Tattaglia family is behind him here.
They have to be in it for something.
00:04:28.063 --> 00:04:33.998
-What about his prison record?
-One term in Italy, one here.
00:04:33.001 --> 00:04:36.011
He's known as a top narcotics man.
00:04:36.013 --> 00:04:40.081
-Santino, what do you think?
-A lot of money in that white powder.
00:04:43.999 --> 00:04:44.998
Tom?
00:04:44.002 --> 00:04:48.998
Yes. There's more money in narcotics
than anything else.
