...And Bled To Death.

Godfather II'nin sonunda yer alan, asagidaki sahne, serinin en huzunlu anlarindan biridir. "Aile icin en iyisi" olduguna inandigi bir sey icin, "ihanet" eden Frank Pentangeli'ye "Son ve reddedemeyecegi bir teklif" yapilir. Intihara tesvik edilir. Bunun karsiliginda, ailesinin geleceginin garanti altina alinacagi soylenir. O da geregini yapar...

Soylenene gore Roma Imparatorlugu'nda, Imparator'un hayatina / iktidarina kasteden ancak basarili olamayanlar; "Eve giderler. Sicak su dolu bir kuvete girip, bileklerini keserler. Bazen bunu yapmadan once kucuk bir parti bile verirler". Boylelikle servetleri, aileleri uzerinde devam eder.

Bunca seyi yazdik diye "intihar" tribinde oldugumuz imasi yapiyor degiliz. Lakin hayatinin son 4 senelik zarfinda "Anemi" denen hadiseden cok cektigimiz ve "Bu herif oluyor" kanisiyla iki kez apar topar hastaneye kaldirildigimiz icin gayet rahatlikla soyleyebiliriz ki yukarida ve asagida soylenildigi gibi kan giderken, sen gittigini hissetmiyorsun. Bir uykuya daliyor gibisin, sonunda uyanmadigin...

HAGEN - Frankie, you were always interested in politics, in history. I remember you talking about Hitler back in '43. We were young then.

PENTANGELI - Yeah, I still read a lot. They bring me stuff.

HAGEN - You were around the old timers who dreamed up how the Families should be organized, how they based it on the old Roman Legions, and called them 'Regimes'... with the 'Capos' and 'Soldiers,' and it worked.

PENTANGELI - Yeah, it worked. Those were great old days. We was like the Roman Empire. The Corleone family was like the Roman Empire.

HAGEN - Yeah, it was once.

HAGEN - The Roman Empire... when a plot against the Emperor failed, the plotters were always given a chance to let their families keep their fortunes.

PENTANGELI - Yeah, but only the rich guys. The little guys got knocked off. If they got arrested and executed, all their estate went to the Emperor. If they just went home and killed themselves, up front, nothing happened.

HAGEN - Yeah, that was a good break. A nice deal.

PENTANGELI - They went home and sat in a hot bath and opened their veins, and bled to death. Sometimes they gave a little party before they did it.

HAGEN - Don't worry about anything, Frankie Five-Angels.

PENTANGELI - Thanks, Tom. Thanks.
