I was listening to Fox Sports on the radio this morning and they went off-topic. The host and producer were debating about who actually said "It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes." Remember that the viewer never sees the line being spoken.

Whether it was planned or not, Abe Vigoda called in and stated that it was Tessio's line. I have a difficult time believing that it was Tessio, but why would Abe Vigoda take credit for a line that wasn't his? I always thought it sounded more like Clemenza. The transcript on this website credits Clemenza. I just think the sound has the trademark of Clemenza's nasal, New York accent.
