When Michael tucks Anthony into bed after the shooting, there are two things that stand out for me as a little "off" in that scene.

First, isn't it odd that, as a parent, Michael says absolutely nothing comforting to Anthony? I mean, there were just strangers shooting up the house! Plus, guard dogs running around, alarms shrieking, spotlights shining, and so on. Wouldn't a small kid be a little upset, and need Daddy to tell him it was going to be OK? Instead, they talk about his presents.

Also, would Michael really have wanted this life for Anthony, especially since someone just tried to kill him? If he was sincere about getting out of the life, would he have been manipulating Anthony??
