The Godfather Part II - That Was a Good Break
Tom Hagen:
When a plot against the emperor failed, the plotters were always given a chance to let their families keep their fortunes. Right?
Frank Pentangeli:
Yeah, but only the rich guys, Tom. The little guys got knocked off and all their estates went to the emperors — unless they went home and killed themselves. [realizing] Then nothing happened, and the families — the families were taken care of.
Tom Hagen:
That was a good break. A nice deal.
Frank Pentangeli:
Yeah. They went home and sat in a hot bath, opened up their veins and bled to death, and sometimes they had a little party before they did it.
