“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, 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.”
