jack woltz and tom hagen

The Godfather (1972)
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...

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.

Are you one of those people who prefer touch pads Jmac. Could never understand your type of people.
It requires you to use both hands and as you well know Jmac one hand should always be left free to hold your beer.
My Mac touch pad allows me to keep one hand free at all times.

A touch pad should only require one hand. Perhaps you're using it incorrectly.

If you need two hands to work a mouse touchpad you're doing it wrong.

P.S. For someone who has taken plenty of drugs I have never been or seen people be violent on them
I would categorically dispute this when it comes to Ice. Not implying that there is any relevance to the current case, but as a general statement I dont think it stands up to scrutiny.

Ice is a shit drug (I have tried it)

The places I went to (nightclubs/dance parties - mostly gay) the drug of choice was not that poison. People went to have harmless fun.

I stand by my statement - I have never seen a fight in these places..........and you wont hear me saying "drugs are bad" (ducks for cover)

I hear what you are saying, and agree in those places its mostly MDMA and GHB. I may...errrr...have been to one or two myself. Occasionally. Sometimes. And occasionally on substances.

But I think it bears repeating, Ice has a scientifically proven relationship with violence. And as we know from the West, footballers and Ice are not mutually exclusive.

I agree it is a poisonous drug and that guy from the West is a prime example of why you shouldn't touch it..........but I go back to the days of the Dome nightclub.

The footballers back then that used to frequent the place were Ablett SNR and Chris Mainwaring among others.
Ice didn't exist back then........speed would have been the closest drug to it........and it wasn't a place for H users.

I miss the Dome and then around the corner Freakazoid...........good times!
Thanks Bad Horse you have filled my bucket today.....now I know what my kids are going on about! :p:rainbow:
