Vito told him happy for you knowing he would be murdered shortly “lousy cold-hearted bastard”

True Turnbull greed and revenge blind men even women Kay's revenge abortion
If only Vito had practiced what he preached and not been careless
Tricky indeed keeping Carlo alive until Vito's natural death
  • I suppose Carlo would be living in Tahoe as Michael's right hand man?!
  • The Corleones pretending that little farce Carlo played with Connie had fooled the Corleones [okay! it did fool hotheaded Sonny] until Papa dies
  • The Corleones can't keep Carlo under watch or similar like Michael did with Fredo until Mama died without raising suspicions nor keep Carlo idling – out of the family business until Papa dies

Carlo's little farce no-brainer
Whilst Michael played this one beautifully if Carlo had steadfastly denied any part in Sonny's murder, would Carlo have perhaps gotten away with it? Michael's dilemma!
