I agree with Don Cardi........"Don't tell anyone what you are thinking" Mike made it seem like he was looking toward Fredo for help.....notice his demeanor....."Is there anything you can tell me that could help me??" He got what he needed from Fredo, and then when he was done, he gave him that classice "you are nothing to me now." line......Michael was smarter than his old man......and that is why he stayed alive soo long. Brilliant!!!!!
