Tessio gets ground, or territory, after complaining about having no place to hang his hat. And on this ground he arranges Michael's assasination.
(Luca gets "grounded," to force an electricity analogy having to do with the knife, his hand and the bartop; Michael sort of gets grounded when he has to live in Sicily for a year. But it's Tessio who gets, simply, ground).
OKAY.
Though it's claimed that his huge heterosexual cock is what makes him special, the only time we see him in bed it's clearly revealed that he's given head to his sugar daddy.
PS: That genealogy question I overthought. I was gonna say Woltz...or Moe Greene, who also spits out a racial epithet, though less applicable as a reply to the question posed.

If you mean he's given his head to his sugar daddy (altho I'm not sure I understand the "sugar daddy" reference as it would apply to Woltz), I'll say Khartoum. Oh...I got the "sugar daddy" reference....Woltz gives him a little snack in the barn with Hagen.
Q. He could have been mistaken for "Little Sir Echo"

Gotta go with Michael, on three occasions:
He (sort of) echoes Kay when she calls and says "Tell me you love me"...and he is never quite there to come and play with her...
He echoes the priest during the baptism, again sort of. "Do you renounce Satan?"
And there's a phone call with Tom where Michael repeats a lot of what Tom says...Hello? Hello. Hello? Hello....
Course, there's Vito mocking Johnny Fontaine at the beginning, and there's Enzo, ("Enzo, the baker, the baker...for your father, for your father.") And there Fabrizio, translating. And there's Sonny, angry on the phone (Son of a bitch...again and again.
But gotta go with MICHAEL.
now...
THIS CHARACTER will need a shoeshine to remove footprints from the tops of his shoes.

Nice try, and a fair analysis (again). Unlike the "Dialouge Game", this game involves a great deal of subjectivity, so I gues it's not fair to tell someone they have the wrong answer when their analysis supports their response.
That said, however, the answer I was looking for was Calo. If you watch the Sicilian sequences, you will notice several instances where Fabrizzio says something, and then Calo echos him by repeating Fabrizzio's last few words.
Your question: Tessio Q. He knew someone who enjoyed winter sports

Tom Hagen is carrying a sled when he's kidnapped by Sollozzo. (Winter sports).
NOTE: I prefer sticking with GFI...
THIS CHARACTER has a future working for Hallmark, but will have to get to work by bus, subway or cab if hired today (1946).

Vito's grandchild (too young to drive a car)--which one I couldn't tell you--who presents the Don with a get well card upon his return from the hospital.
Q. G. Gordon Liddy and Howard Hunt had nothing on this character.

Gonna go with Tom Hagen, as he so often arranges the dirty tricks and cover-ups for his Godfather... (But if it's just about breaking into a hotel room, and you're allowing GFII moments, then Ola's killer could be the guy).
I need a little more in the clue. My Hallmark question might have been answered CLEMENZA ("I love-a you with all my heart...If I don't see you soon I'm-a gonna die." Certainly a Hallmark sentiment). But the car/subway/bus clue points to a kid-- Frankie.
Many things about Hunt and Liddy can apply to many characters (Loyal soldiers? Involved in break-ins, bugging? Took a fall for their leader? Once worked for the CIA?) So I don't really know. Luca Brazi's backstory has him doing a lot of the dirty work for the Don. (Who put the horse's head in Woltz' bed?) Need that extra little hint. Anyway...
THIS CHARACTER: Likes a quiet workplace. Prefers the furniture just as it is.

Apologize for getting so technical, but I'm a real fan and a real stickler. (In my opinion, a real GF fan does not recognize GFIII as a worthy part of the saga. So excited I was to see it...first screening at Mann's Chinese, opening day, Christmas...Pacino's brushcut, thought I'd get used to it, but turns out it was the first warning sign, George Hamilton being a quick second).
BONUS QUERY: Though we clearly see a Jew calling an Italian a Guinea in a Godfather One Desert Scene, we do not see This Jew and This Guinea playing in the Sand (Plural) of this Same Desert but there is Some Sign that They are There at the Time doing Just That.

Again, this is a game with much subjectivity, and your argument for Hagen is a fair one, even thought it's not the answer I was looking for. Perhaps my clue lacked specificity. So here's your extra hint:
Hunt and Liddy were plumbers .
Your bonus query: Sinatra and Joey Bishop (or was it Sammy Davis?) on the Sands Hotel marquee.
Your first question, I'm thinking about.

I'll go with Vito, based on Michael's comment to Pentangeli, something like "This was my father's old study...His desk was over here... We had to be very quiet when we played here" Q. The Corleone family "Went West" This character had "Come East" .

Tessio knows about toilets ("They have one of those, with the chains, thing...")
Plumber connection?
Anthony, at the age of three, can already read the funny papers. So he probably likes cartoons.
MY CLUE ABOUT THE WORKER WHO LIKES QUIET. Should be: This person keeps a quiet workplace, according to the rules...and helps move furniture reluctantly...
THINNER GUS

joelga: Yes, Tessio, with his vast knowledge of plumbing was who I had in mind.
New answer to the "workplace" question: Don C.'s nurse in the hospital.
Is THINNER GUS (a nag ram) a question?
MC 14: Yours was a fair answer to my somewhat ambiguous question. Both the Dons you name came East for the big sit-down.
But actually it was Carlo who I was thinking of--he was originally from Nevada.

Duuuh. How stupid of me to ask. *slaps forehead* Night Nurse MC 14: I'll have to say Vito; he was in two scenes showing the statue (altho both were from part 2). Could be Bonasera; he expressed a love for America. Anyway, new question: You wouldn't want this character to carry anything breakable. He had a penchant for dropping things.
