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.
[Hagen leaves, with Woltz staring after him]
Jack Woltz:
[to an underling]
Check him out...
