See, and I always took it as though a part of Tom felt bad that Tessio had to go.
Maybe he felt badly, but he was pretty direct when Tessio first says tell Mike I always liked him and it was just business. Tom quickly says "He understands that." Then Tessio asks the famour get me off the hook question and Tom says "No chance Sally" then he makes a gesture with his eyes indicating to the buttonmen to put him in the car.
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
