Sure thing Turnbull spot on! indeed
My only debating point! is if Michael had died in the Tahoe shooting I doubt Tom or any one would have even suspected that Fredo “conspired in his brother's murderâ€
Fredo still would not have “qualified to be Don†even as a figurehead but you are right about the “constant theme in the movies and in the novel is that greed and thirst for revenge motivate and undo stupid peopleâ€
Well, not just people like Paulie, Carlo, Fabrizio, Tessio and Fredo though
Michael was nearly undone himself with Roth
Paulie was a dead man either way same as Tessio Once a traitor always a traitor However....
What would your take be?
- if Paulie had not called in sick on the day of Vito's attempted murder
- say if Paulie had 'tried' heroically to save Vito, putting his own life on the line but couldn't and ended up with 'non-life'! threatening injuries
- Paulie may have got away with it? at least been given the benefit of the doubt?
- â€something in it†for Paulie - obvious 'promises' 'rewards' only money
