The actions of Iran have shocked the civilized world.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

WEIR: I think we're going to go with "The Godfather", one of my favorites.
COOPER: Let's take a look at the video.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DON CORLEONE, "THE GODFATHER: CHARACTER: What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, this scum who ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by some chance an honest man like yourself made enemies they would become my enemies. And then, they would fear you.
BONASERA, "THE GODFATHER: CHARACTER: Be my friend... Godfather.
CORLEONE: Good.
Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, consider this justice a gift on my daughter's wedding day.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
COOPER: All right, that was the 1972 movie "The Godfather". Many different people were considered for the role of Michael Corleone one actor said turned down the role because the time he felt "Italian should be Italians.' He went on to win an academy award for best actor in 1976 playing an
Irish-American who is the actor?

WEIR: (Inaudible) complete blank.
COOPER: I need no more consulting.
WEIR: OK, all right. All I can go with is who is also on this one but it doesn't make any -- all I can think of is Robert Duvall, you know, that's all... COOPER: That's incorrect. The correct answer is Jack Nicholson. All right, let's take a look how much you wagered.
WEIR: We're number two.
(OFF-MIKE)
COOPER: So we have Don, John, you are in the lead as of now depending on your bet you could still lose it all I suppose if you did something crazy. Patty Hearst Kidnapping or Nixon Resigns?
