Paulie

Paulie is a weasel that appears in Conker's Bad Fur Day and Conker: Live & Reloaded. He is a part of the Weasel Mafia. Don Weaso beats him to death with a baseball bat due to him displaying an act of treason against Weason, which the latter euphemizes as having "shown no respect". Paulie only appears once in the entire game. Paulie can be played in multi if a person chooses red in Heist. He can also be played as in Free for All, if the code "CHINDITVICTORY" is entered, but only the first player can play as him.

Trivia

• Paulie is based on the character of Paulie Gatto from The Godfather. In the film, Paulie (portrayed by American actor, John Martino) was an associate of Corleone Family, serving as Vito Corleone's personal driver. Like Paulie's fate in the game, in The Godfather, the Corleone Family discovered that Paulie had betrayed Vito Corleone, resulting in Vito being shot and wounded by members of a drug syndicate ran by drug trafficker, Virgil "The Turk" Sollozzo (portrayed in the film by late American actor, Al Lettieri). The discovery of Paulie's betrayal had resulted in his murder by Corleone hitman, Rocco Lampone, portrayed by late American actor, Tom Rosqui.
• Paulie's Beating is a reference to The Untouchables, where Al Capone bludgeons one of his fellow gangsters suspected of committing treason repeatedly with a baseball bat during a dinner meeting.
  • The scene in the Untouchables was itself based on a real-life event that had occurred on the night of the 7th May 1929 in which Capone had found out from his bodyguard, Frank Rio that three of Capone's hitmen, Alberto Anselmi, John Scalise and Joseph Giunta were conspiring with a rival mob figure, Giuseppe "Joe" Aiello to take over Capone's territory, prompting Capone to lure Anselmi, Scalise and Giunta to a banquet held in their honor only to promptly beat them unconscious with a baseball bat and then shot all three, killing them. After killing Anselmi, Scalise and Giunta, Capone's hitmen took the bodies to an isolated area outside Hammond, Indiana where they were dumped.

• A scene that was dummied out of the game that took place around Don Weaso's meeting with Conker revealed that the specific reason why Paulie ended up executed besides simply disrespecting him was because, like Conker, Paulie attempted to "steal his dough." And in fact, he was the last person who tried to do so before Conker was brought before the kingpin.
