Both Michael and Roth continuing their charade!
Just the two of them 'completely relaxed and confident' in their friendship! No Neri / Bussetta or Ola

Roth's house
Quote
Michael: I came here because there is gonna be more blood shed
I want you to know about it before it happens so that there's no danger of starting another war
Roth: Nobody wants another war.
Michael: Frank Pentangeli came to my home and he asked my permission to get rid of the Rosato brothers
When I refused, he tried to have me killed He was stupid, I was lucky; I'll visit him soon
The important thing is that nothing interferes with our plans for the future Yours and mine
Roth: Nothing is more important

What is going on here?!
  • killing Pentangeli and giving the Rosato brothers the three territories in the Bronx - ensures? Michael's important business with Roth -- remains undisturbed
  • once the above is done, nothing interferes with Michael and Roth's future plans
  • how does Roth have clout and control not starting another war
  • and why would "the mighty Michael Corleone" visit? "his own subordinate" "who tried to have him killed"
  • just send Neri or Rocco “Michael Corleone says Hello”!

Nobody “would buy and be fooled” by that BS!

It made him look ridiculous! can he lay it on any thicker
