An
agreement
was
reached
but
two
months
later
the
strong-arm
was
shot
to
death
in
his
favorite
barbershop
.
So
Hagen
started
again
,
speaking
in
the
most
ordinary
voice
.
"
Look
at
my
card
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
'm
a
lawyer
.
Would
I
stick
my
neck
out
?
Have
I
uttered
one
threatening
word
?
Let
me
just
say
that
I
am
prepared
to
meet
any
condition
you
name
to
get
Johnny
Fontane
that
movie
.
I
think
I
've
already
offered
a
great
deal
for
such
a
small
favor
.
A
favor
that
I
understand
it
would
be
in
your
interest
to
grant
.
Johnny
tells
me
that
you
admit
he
would
be
perfect
for
that
part
.
And
let
me
say
that
this
favor
would
never
be
asked
if
that
were
not
so
.
In
fact
,
if
you
're
worried
about
your
investment
,
my
client
would
finance
the
picture
.
But
please
let
me
make
myself
absolutely
clear
.
We
understand
your
no
is
no
.
Nobody
can
force
you
or
is
trying
to
.
We
know
about
your
friendship
with
Mr.
Hoover
,
I
may
add
,
and
my
boss
respects
you
for
it
.
He
respects
that
relationship
very
much
.
"
Woltz
had
been
doodling
with
a
huge
,
red-feathered
pen
.
At
the
mention
of
money
his
interest
was
aroused
and
he
stopped
doodling
.
He
said
patronizingly
,
"
This
picture
is
budgeted
at
five
million
.
"
Hagen
whistled
softly
to
show
that
he
was
impressed
.
Then
he
said
very
casually
,
"
My
boss
has
a
lot
of
friends
who
back
his
judgment
.
"
For
the
first
time
Woltz
seemed
to
take
the
whole
thing
seriously
.
He
studied
Hagen
's
card
.
"
I
never
heard
of
you
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
know
most
of
the
big
lawyers
in
New
York
,
but
just
who
the
hell
are
you
?
"
"
I
have
one
of
those
dignified
corporate
practices
,
"
Hagen
said
dryly
.
"
I
just
handle
this
one
account
.
"
He
rose
.
"
I
wo
n't
take
up
any
more
of
your
time
.
"
He
held
out
his
hand
,
Woltz
shook
it
.
Hagen
took
a
few
steps
toward
the
door
and
turned
to
face
Woltz
again
.
"
I
understand
you
have
to
deal
with
a
lot
of
people
who
try
to
seem
more
important
than
they
are
.
In
my
case
the
reverse
is
true
.
Why
do
n't
you
check
me
out
with
our
mutual
friend
?
If
you
reconsider
,
call
me
at
my
hotel
.
"
He
paused
.
"
This
may
be
sacrilege
to
you
,
but
my
client
can
do
things
for
you
that
even
Mr.
Hoover
might
find
out
of
his
range
.
"
He
saw
the
movie
producer
's
eyes
narrowing
.
Woltz
was
finally
getting
the
message
.
"
By
the
way
,
I
admire
your
pictures
very
much
,
"
Hagen
said
in
the
most
fawning
voice
he
could
manage
.
"
I
hope
you
can
keep
up
the
good
work
.
Our
country
needs
it
.
"
Late
that
afternoon
Hagen
received
a
call
from
the
producer
's
secretary
that
a
car
would
pick
him
up
within
the
hour
to
take
him
out
to
Mr.
Woltz
's
country
home
for
dinner
.
She
told
him
it
would
be
about
a
three-hour
drive
but
that
the
car
was
equipped
with
a
bar
and
some
hors
d'oeuvres
.
Hagen
knew
that
Woltz
made
the
trip
in
his
private
plane
and
wondered
why
he
had
n't
been
invited
to
make
the
trip
by
air
.
The
secretary
's
voice
was
adding
politely
,
"
Mr.
Woltz
suggested
you
bring
an
overnight
bag
and
he
'll
get
you
to
the
airport
in
the
morning
.
"
"
I
'll
do
that
,
"
Hagen
said
.
That
was
another
thing
to
wonder
about
.
How
did
Woltz
know
he
was
taking
the
morning
plane
back
to
New
York
?
He
thought
about
it
for
a
moment
.
The
most
likely
explanation
was
that
Woltz
had
set
private
detectives
on
his
trail
to
get
all
possible
information
.
Then
Woltz
certainly
knew
he
represented
the
Don
,
which
meant
that
he
knew
something
about
the
Don
,
which
in
turn
meant
that
he
was
now
ready
to
take
the
whole
matter
seriously
.
Something
might
be
done
after
all
,
Hagen
thought
.
And
maybe
Woltz
was
smarter
than
he
had
appeared
this
morning
.
