Yes! We have a winner! It is Kay.

So, Sicilian Babe, if you're online it's your turn to post a clue.

... and if she's not online, would anyone else like to post a clue?

Okay, here's mine:

Since this character was supposed to be quite powerful in his small part of the world, perhaps he was entitled to three mules.

Is that Frankie Pentangeli's brother, Vincenzo (who came from a "two-mule" town)?

If so, here's mine:
He should have built a bird bath.

Pentangeli cause he was going to sing like a canary?

That's a good guess dontomasso, but it's not Frankie Pentangeli. Feel free to guess again.

I'm completely lost. Care to give a hint?

Here's your hint: He appears in Godfather Part II only.

Christina!! YOURE KILLING US!!!! ONE MORE TEENY HINT???

So sorry; I didn't realize it was that hard . Honest.

In GF2, he only appears in the young Vito flashbacks. He is someone Vito meets in New York. All his dialogue is in Italian (I'm pretty sure), so you might have to pay attention to the subtitles to catch the reference, which is this: a couple of times, he implies to Vito (metaphorically) that he's somewhat of a bird in need of water.

Don "Let me wet my beak" Fanucci

I wonder if he ate pigs knuckles too

That's the one.

<-- Fanucci wetting his beak

I bet you didn't even need those extra clues, plawrence.

As for your clue...
I'll guess Sonny, who bit Carlo on the knuckles during their fight.

Great clue and great guess CW

Thank you don tomasso. If my guess to plawrence's clue is correct, I'll go ahead and post a new clue. I think this one is easy (but, then again, that's easy for me to say since I know the answer ). Here it is:

He keeps more in his pockets than just his loose change.

Vito "politicians in his pocket" Corleone.

Although it may not have been a statement meant to be taken literally, it was insinuated that he may have at one time or another developed romantic liaisons with young ladies who derived enjoyment from becoming emotionally attached to their favorite sports teams.

Moe Green insinuated that Michael went out with cheerleaders, so my answer is Michael.

If that's correct, here's mine:
He invested in emission-free transportation before its time.

Tom Hagen....bought electric car for Anthony on Michael's behalf.


HE TOLD VITO TO SEE HIS BETTER ANGELS

Right you are, dontomasso... and you didn't even need an extra hint . Bravo!

My guess for yours is Genco. I'm not sure, but in a scene from the saga (which was deleted in the 1st Godfather movie), does he say something on his death bed about angels?

Not even a tiny hint...HA HA

No CW, wrong answer. Here is a hint though...the "his" may not necessarily refer to Vito.

Was it Nazorine the baker, who put angels on Connie's wedding cake?

YES CW.. Your Turn

OK, here's a new one:
Deanna was really swept off her feet by him.

Not Merle, and not cause Fredo was jealous of him cause he wa a real man, but Rocco who LITERALLY swept her off her feet.


Something Fredo complained about, done to no avail. At the request of? And for the benefit of?

Right-o, it is Rocco. That's two in a row for you dontomasso, without any extra hints .

Now here's my guess for yours. I'm not sure I'm interpreting this correctly, but I'll say that Fredo expressed disappointment at not being able to take Anthony fishing. Connie was the one who requested this change of plans, and it was for Michael's benefit (so he could substitute Al Neri instead, although Connie didn't know that).

Like I said, I'm not sure that I interpreted the clue correctly, so could you give us a hint? Is the answer two different people? Or is the answer to both questions ("at the request of?" and "for the benefit of?") the same person?

Naw, you are definitely fishing for the wrong answer there.

Yes, the answer is two different people. One made a request and the other would have benefitted from it.

When Fredo brought the $2 million to Havana, he told Michael that he didn't know what was going on and that he was kept in the dark. If you believe that Fredo was still beholden to Roth to provide inside info about Michael, then I suppose you can say that Fredo brought this up at Johnny Ola's request and that any info he could obtain would be for the benefit of Hyman Roth.

Is that the right answer?

Fredo was happy to have the important job of taking the money to Havana and being in on things. He never complained about that particular task. Think about the list of tasks he complained about to Mike.

So someone else requested Fredo to complain about something to Michael? And if Michael acted on that request it would benefit another person?

Fredo complained about --

• being sent off to do errands
• taking care of "Mickey Mouse" nightclubs
• picking people up at the airport
• being stepped over as Don

Or, if I interpret it another way, someone requested that Fredo do something. Fredo complained about it. No attention was paid to him, so he did it anyway and it benefited someone else.

Well, Fredo kind of made a semi-sarcastic remark when Michael told him to show Senator Geary and some other politicians a good time in Havana ("My specialty right?") So I'll say that Michael made the request and it mostly benefied Senator Geary.

You're getting a bit warmer, but you are still off base. Now I know you would NEVER take any extracurricular help --- any more than I would -- so I will help you a teeny bit more. One of the errands you listed is the correct errand, and Fredo may or may not have been involded, but it did not benefit him.

One of those things listed was having to pick up people at the airport. Now that's something Fredo complained about, but I gather that the "errand" is the main subject here and not Fredo.

Pick somebody up at the airport

• at who's request? Well, in GF2 Mama mentioned that she sent (requested) a car to pick up Connie.
• for whose benefit? It would have been for Connie (and I guess Merle's) benefit

Is this the right interpretation?

Jeeze......

Whatever happened to clues like "He should have had an E-Z Pass" or "She was in a daze about the days of the week"?
