At the cemetery Tom asks Michael, "Do you know how they're gonna come at'cha?" In his response Michael says, "It's a smart move - Tessio was always smarter."

He couldn't have been too smart. He got whacked. Was Michael playing with Tom, or was he serious? The outcome certainly did not support Michael's comment.


Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, whoever humbles himself will be exalted - Matthew 23:12
