Hyman Roth had picked Moe Green to be his replacement. He's lying when he says, "nobody knows who gave the order" he already knows at this point that Michael did it. And despite his "strictly business" speech, you can see how angry he is when he says it. He's taking this VERY very personally.
Read the other comments. Decent video's get removed by YouTube. Many have tried to upload pieces of the Godfather in high definition. The film studios hire people who scan the internet (especially YouTube) for copyright infringement. Video's are found and removed just a few hours after their uploaded. They use computer programs to search for copyrighted material and then they force YouTube to remove it. Crappy, two minute video's get a pass. But the rest is removed.
This scene is epic..Its just a fuckin' shame that this clip is garbage quality. Why would anyone post this in this condition?..Somebody should clip you for this disrespect.
@WiseGuy5674 If you haven't noticed, most of the clean clips of all three Godfather films have been bumped from Youtube (probably a copyright infringement issue) accept for some real short clips that do not extend past 3:00 minutes or so. Somehow, if you download a video clip of you "video taping" a movie from a room, etc. . . that doesn't infringe upon the owner's rights.
And there lies the difference between the Jewish gangsters and the Italian gangsters. When the Jewish gangsters said "it's not personal, it's strictly business" they meant it. To the Italians, EVERYTHING was personal.
This scene is genius because the whole time I am thinking, "Here is this frail old Jewish man." But this scene defines Hyman Roth as a gangster to be reckon with.
Roth puts Michael in his place. This scene, along with the Fredo "I'm Smart" and Don Corleone at the funeral parlor with Sonny's dead body are the three best scenes in the trilogy. This scene is epic
@arivera1986 Very trueA lot of people who watch the godfather,automaticaly take the side of the corleones.They forget,that the business they are in is killing.And some time some where a killing is going to come back at you bigtime.Its how you mop up each and every killing that decides how long before the killings become how you lost the plot.
@MegaObserver1 The scene shows that for Roth this matter is very, very personal.
@loSonoUomo Rugs are Oriental. People are Asian.
@DinochromeBrigade yes Roth knows. Michael knows he knows. Michael knows who gave the order on Pantangeli. And Roth knows HE knows.

Roth did not put Michael in his place as Michael just gave him a cold stare. In the end it was Michael who put Roth in his place .. dead.

I love how Roth clears his throat or ticks or whatever the hell he does when he starts raising his voice.

Don't forget Sonny's famous showdown scene with Carlo Rizzi. That scene drinks awesome sauce.

@MegaObserver1 The same comparison could be made between Latinos and Orientals.

A useful observation that's new to me -- thanks.
Now . . . what are the respective virtues of each style?
For example, would I rather work for Italian gangsters . . . or for Jewish ones?
