Nicely capsulized. The encounter between Moe and Michael is one of those genius scenes of script writing and filming; subtle in some ways and blunt in others. The scene brings the Michael-as-Don more to the forefront. He's challenged, but he doesn't back down and then he lays down the line to Fredo, "don't ever take sides against the family."
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, whoever humbles himself will be exalted - Matthew 23:12
