FLAMINGO SUITE (1955) They are seated around the lavish table in Michael's suite.
MICHAEL is speaking to JOHNNY.
MICHAEL:
Johnny, the Corleone family is thinking of selling out all our interests in the Olive Oil business and settling here. Moe Greene will sell us his interest so it can be wholly owned by friends of the family.
FREDDIE seems anxious.
FREDO:
Mike, you sure about Moe selling.
He never mentioned it to me and he loves the business.
MICHAEL:
I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.
MICHAEL turns to JOHNNY.
MICHAEL:
Johnny, the Don wants you to help us get started. We figure entertainment will be the big factor in drawing gamblers. We hope you'll sign a contract to appear five times a year for maybe a week long engagement.
We hope your friends in the movies will do the same. We count on you to convince them.
JOHNNY:
Sure, I'll do anything for my Godfather. You know that, Mike.
There is knock on the door. NERI rises, looks at MICHAEL, who nods. NERI opens the door, and MOE GREENE enters, followed by TWO BODYGUARDS. He is a handsome hood, dressed in the Hollywood style. His BODYGUARDS are more West Coast style.
MOE:
Mike, good to see you. Got everything you want?
MICHAEL:
Thanks.
MOE:
The chef cooked for you special; the dancers will kick your tongue out and you credit is good!
(to his BODYGUARDS) Draw chips for all these people so they can play on the house.
