I'm glad you pointed that out, Apple, because it's also affirmation of how Michael knew, almost instantly, that Roth--not Pentangeli--was behind the attempt. Frankie was too unsubtle, too uncalculating, to have recruited a traitor in the family, to have found unidentifiable shooters, and to have arranged their killing--all the while getting drunk at Anthony's party and mouthing off to Michael. At that point, Michael couldn't have ruled out Neri and/or Rocco being complicit in some way, or Fredo having contributed by stupidity or inadvertence, but he knew Roth was behind it.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
