Sure thing Moe Greene tried to “make a deal with him [Barzini] and still keep my [Greene's!] hotel”
only when the Corleones came to collect on their IOU for bankrolling the Hotel
It doesn't seem to me Barzini and Greene had a “relationship” prior
Why did “Do you know who I am? I'm Moe Greene!”
- Still have to align himself with Barzini – the incoming Top Don!
- If Greene's mentor “Roth was a bigtime player in that world” why didn't Roth and Greene partner up not dissimilar to Roth's Klingman hotel arrangement
- Roth could have arranged the registered owners, then Roth and Greene themselves, the real owners
