While we are on the subject of Woltz, didn't he appear to have some mental disorder with having dual personalities. Case in point: When he first was introduced to Tom, he was calm:

TOM

Uh, I was sent by a friend of Johnny Fontane's -- His friend is my client, who'd give his

undying friendship to Mr. Woltz, if Mr. Woltz would grant us a small -- favor.



WOLTZ

Woltz is listening.

Then he gets pissed:

WOLTZ

Now listen to me, you smooth-talking son-of-a-bitch! Let me lay it on the line for you and

your boss, whoever he is. Johnny Fontane will never get that movie! I don't care how many -

- daigo guinea WOP greaseball gumbahs come out of the woodwork!


Then back to not only being calm, but being the most gracious host:

WOLTZ

Why didn't you say you worked for Corleone, Tom? I thought you were just some cheap

two-bit hustler Johnny was running in trying to bluff me.



TOM

I don't like to use his name unless it's really necessary.



WOLTZ

How's your drink, Tom?




Still Calm at dinner:

TOM

Mr. Corleone is Johnny's godfather. To the Italian people, that's a very religious, sacred,

close relationship.



WOLTZ

I respect that; just tell him he should ask me anything else. But this is one favor I can't give

him.

One would think that Woltz was a "reasonable" man! But then....


WOLTZ

You don't understand. Johnny Fontane never gets that movie. That part is perfect for him;

it'll make him a big star. And I'm gonna run him out of the business, and let me tell you why.


He sort of reminds one of Capt. Phillip Francis Queeg!
