I dont know if this has ever been addressed, but as i was watching the movie again for who knows how many times, does anybody have any ideas or suggestions who Carlo was calling when Mike, Neri, Rocco and Tom walked in before Carlos' last car ride?

His mistress that he was keeping in Westbury. Actually, I do remember that in the novel, his mistress did live in Westbury. Puzo was fascinated with Long Island, as was evident from the last chapter of THE FORTUNATE PILGRIM. Like many first and second generation, New York City born, Italian-Americans back then, he correlated moving to the suburbs (especially Long Island and Westchester) to "making it." With the "gentrification" that's taken place in Manhattan, it's all been reversed. With one bedrooms going for $5,000 a month, now "making it" means moving to Manhattan, not away from it.

If I remember correctly, he was calling the Emperor's Club, where he was known as "Client Number Eight." Well, with the family discount, can you blame him? Yeah, too bad the Emporer's Club wasn't run by Fredo. Maybe someone would have received some help!

The tuna sandwich and sour pickle were for Hyman, right? Piece of cake.

Watching the first 50 times or so I always thought he was panicking because he couldnt get in touch with anyone (because they were all dead).
Then the Michael stare sorta of confirms trouble for Carlo.
But now, I have no idea LOL He may have been making crank calls to members of the Corleone family. "Hello, Mrs. Clemenza? Is your refrigerator running? Better go catch it."
