Did Sonny and Michael chide! non-Sicilian Tom that he was not a wartime
consiglieri….
Tom may not be a Corleone by blood or name but Tom was indeed among others - callous, cunning, ruthless, not averse to murder etc. – when required just as much Mafia as the Corleones themselves
- Geary set up - Tom to Geary:
just do as I say
We're putting a call into your office -- explain that you'll be there tomorrow afternoon -- you decided to spend the night at Michael Corleone's house in Tahoe -- as his guest
Then chillingly - This girl has no family -- nobody knows that she worked here. It'll be as if she never existed
All that's left is our friendship
