Michael
How are you, Fredo? [to Kay] Fredo. This is my brother, Fredo. [to Fredo] This is Kay Adams.
Kay
Oh, hi.
Fredo
How'ya doing? [kisses Kay in the cheeks] This is my brother, Mike.
Michael
Are you having a good time?
Fredo
Huh? Yeah... This is your friend, huh?
Don Corleone
Andiamo, Fredo. Tell Paulie to get the car. We're going.
Fredo
Okay, Pop, I'll have to get it myself, Pop. Paulie called in sick this morning.
Don Corleone
Huh?!
Fredo
Paulie's a good kid, I don't mind getting the car.
Don Corleone
Ah, Aspetto, Fredo. Going to buy some fruit.
Fredo
Okay, Pop.
Sonny
And I'm sending Fredo to, uh, Las Vegas, under the protection of, uh, Don Francesco of L.A.
Fredo
I'm going to learn the casino business.
Michael
Who are the girls?
Fredo
That's for you to find out...
Michael
Get rid of them, Fredo.
Fredo
Hey, Mike, uh...
Michael
Fredo, I'm here on business-- I leave tomorrow, now get rid of them. I'm tired.
Michael
My credit good enough to buy you out?
Buy me out?
Michael
The casino, the hotel. The Corleone Family wants to buy you out.
The Corleone Family wants to buy me out? No, I buy you out, you don't buy me out.
Michael
Your casino loses money, maybe we can do better.
You think I'm skimmin' off the top, Mike?
Michael
You're unlucky.
You goddamn guineas really make me laugh. I do you a favor and take Freddie in when you're having a bad time, and then you try to push me out!
Michael
Wait a minute, you took Freddie in because the Corleone Family bankrolled your casino, because the Molinari Family on the Coast guaranteed his safety. Now we're talking business, let's talk business.
Yeah, let's talk business, Mike. First of all, you're all done. The Corleone Family don't even have that kind of muscle anymore. The Godfather's sick, right? You're getting chased out of New York by Barzini and the other Families. What do you think is going on here? You think you can come to my hotel and take over? I talked to Barzini, I can make a deal with him, and still keep my hotel!
Michael
Is that why you slapped my brother around in public?
Fredo
Aw now that, that was nothin', Mike. Now, Now uh Moe didn't mean nothin' by that. Sure he flies off the handle once in a while, but Moe and me, we're good friends, right Moe? Huh?
I gotta business to run. I gotta kick asses sometimes to make it run right. We had a little argument, Freddy and I, so I had to straighten him out.
Michael
You straightened my brother out?
He was banging cocktail waitresses two at a time! Players couldn't get a drink at the table! What's wrong with you?
Michael
I leave for New York tomorrow, think about a price.
Sonofabitch, Do you know who I am? I'm Moe Greene! I made my bones when you were going out with cheerleaders!
Fredo
Wait a minute, Moe, Moe, I got an idea. Tom, you're the Consiglieri and you can talk to the Don, you can explain...
Tom Hagen
Just a minute now, the Don is semi-retired and Mike is in charge of the Family business now. If you have anything to say, say it to Michael.
Fredo
Mike! You don't come to Las Vegas and talk to a man like Moe Greene like that!
Michael
Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever.
