ROTH
My sixth sense tells me you have a
bag full of money in your hand.

Ola locks the door; Michael nods, and opens the bag, spilling
its contents on the card table.

MICHAEL
This doubles my investment.

ROTH
Still no word of your courier?
We'll find him. But at least this
will satisfy our friends here.
You've been invited to the New Year
reception at the Presidential Home.
I understand your brother is here
as well; I hope he'll come.

MICHAEL
Six million dollars in cash is a
high price for a piece of a country
in the middle of a revolution.

Roth looks patiently at Michael, as though he were a child
who hadn't minded the lesson that he had been taught over
and over again.

ROTH
You're a careful kid, and that's
good. But look. An international
dispatch on the wire service.
American journalism, not propaganda.
The government troops have all but
eliminated the rebels. All but
their radio station.

MICHAEL
I've read it; I'm pleased that the
government is doing so well. As a
heavy investor, I'm pleased. How
did the doctor find you?

ROTH
Terrible. I'd give twice this
amount to take a piss without it
hurting.

MICHAEL
Who had Frankie Pantangeli killed?

ROTH
(taken a bit off-balance)
Why...the Rosato Brothers.

MICHAEL
I know that; but who gave the go
ahead.

Roth glances to Ola; he is not a fool; he realizes Michael
has begun to suspect him.


Do you notice when Michael confronts Hyman Roth? He got three million from the first
courier but it wasn't enough. He needed six. This whole plot was so Hyman Roth could
take a piss without it hurting.


CHRISTIAN
You desecrated a classic film. This is worse than "Godfather III."
GIBSON
Whoa, whoa, hey, whoa! Let's not say things we can't take back.
CHRISTIAN
All right, all right, I'm sorry.
