When its time to go to Brooklyn for the "meeting" with Barzini, Tom suddenly tells Tessio he can't go (either.)
Then, Willie Cicci emerges and grabs Tessio's gun.

My question is, was Tessio planning on doing the hit himself, if he was strapped with a gun? Or was this dramatic license?


"Now, that plane goes to Miami."
"That's right. That's where I want it met."
