View Quote I didn't know it was gonna be a hit, Mike. I swear to God I didn't know it was going to be a hit.

Tom Hagen: That was a good break. A nice deal.
Frank Pentangeli: Yeah... They went home... and sat in a hot bath... opened up their veins... and bled to death... and sometimes they had a little party before they did it.
