That was Moe Greene's fantasy--"I tolk to Barzini. I can [emphasis added]make a deal with him and still keep my hotel." There's no evidence he made a deal with Barzini. I doubt he "tolked" to Barzini--he may have been bluffing Michael.

Don't know Turnbull Moe Greene made his bones when Michael was going out with cheerleaders!

He knew what was going on here, having done his homework, some not so secret
1. First of all, you're all done.
2. The Corleone Family don't even have that kind of muscle anymore.
3. The Godfather's sick, right?
4. You're getting chased out of New York by Barzini and the other Families
5. You think you can come to my hotel and take over? --
6. I talked to Barzini -- I can make a deal with him, and still keep my hotel!

The head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things Greene, may have been bluffing Michael but on the surface, he can make a deal with Barzini and still keep my hotel! -- not impossible.

Barzini thinking he was in the catbird seat, was talking to any one and everyone He talked to Carlo, Tessio, why not Greene?
