- In New York City, Vito, Tom, and Sonny are meeting with a drug-dealing gangster named Sollozzo. He's into the hard stuff: narcotics, heroin.
- Vito asks Tom and Sonny what they think about Sollozo's offer. Sollozzo wants them to go into business with him, using their political connections to help him spread his drug business, partnering with the Tattaglia family.
- Sonny and Tom both think it's lucrative and a good idea. But Vito disagrees. He politely refuses Sollozzo's offer, saying that he can't afford to alienate his political allies in government and that he considers drugs to be a dirty business.
- They get some flowers from Johnny before the scene ends, thanking Vito for getting him the role. The horse head worked.
