In my introduction to acting class each student had to do a monologue. I thought about it, and deceided that The Godfather would be the perfect script to choose my monologue. I ended up picking Jack Woltz's "Johnny Fontane" part to Tom during dinner. Needless to say, I think it went over pretty well with the professor and the other students.
"Now listen: I want somebody good -- and I mean very good -- to plant that gun. I don't want my brother coming out of that toilet with just his dick in his hands, alright?"

Great, Verbal! I used to work for a very large company that had a huge HQ building. Many, many GF fans. I kept a copy of GF in my office and showed it to anyone who visited. One of my co-workers and I used to do entire scenes from I and II for the delectation of anyone who'd listen. The Woltz scene was a favorite. Roth's soliloquey was another. The best part: the building had a big fitness center with a huge, multi-aisle locker room. Some days, I'd simply shout out a line from one of the movies--and instantly 15 or 20 disembodied voices from other aisles would shout out the next line!

VA, I love that scene! While Woltz's rant is classic, so is Tom's amused reaction. I memorized Woltz's "lecture" after a friend left the audio as a message on my cell phone years ago...and I didn't erase it until I changed cell phone carriers. Even today when that guy calls my cell phone, he just says a line from the rant as his message.
Equally as important is Tom's closing remark which is the knockout to that scene.
Hope you killed with that performance!

Thank you for the dinner and a very pleasant evening.

Glad you picked the Woltz speech though... I'm sure the class (and teacher) loved "And she was the greatest piece of ass I've ever had -- and I've had them all across the world!" When I first said that line I heard a few chuckles, but after a few practice runs the class became professional.
