But He Deserves Respect - Tumblr Posts

I'm watching the clip of Sollozzo and Tom in the warehouse after Tom's abduction and realising just how patronising Sollozzo is. He talks to Tom mostly in short simple sentences like he's talking to a five year old. "Well now he's dead Tom. He's dead and nothing can bring him back." just in case this mob lawyer and Son of Vito wasn't quite sure how death works. Then gives him a list of people he needs to talk to as if the Consigliere doesn't know the chain of command.

I know that Tom is frightened (with good cause) and grieving and Sollozzo is trying to keep him calm so that he'll listen to his instructions but give the poor guy a little respect.
