I like the scene with Enzo the baker trying to smoke a cigarette downstairs form the hospital where they just moved Don Vito. He was so scared that he could not light it up.
I liked that scene too. But by no means falls this scene in the category of comic relief. At least not when you watch the film for the first time. When Michael and Enzo stand in front of the hospital we know already that Vito's life is in danger, and so is Michael's and Enzo's. Even when the first car is leaving. Enzo's trembling hands almost reflect the trembling hearts of ourselves.
