[While Carlo dials the phone, Michael Corleone enters the room with Tom Hagen, Al Neri and Rocco Lampone. Carlo turns and looks at Michael's new inner circle]

Michael Corleone:
You have to answer for Santino, Carlo.

Carlo Rizzi:
Mike, you've got it all wrong!

Michael:
You fingered Sonny for the Barzini people. Ah, that little farce you played with my sister. Did you think that would fool a Corleone?

Carlo:
Mike, I'm innocent. I swear on my kids. Please don't do this to me, Mike.

Michael:
Sit down.

Carlo:
Please don't do this. Please.

Michael:
Barzini's dead. So is Phillip Tattaglia, Moe Greene, Stracci, Cuneo. Today, I settle all family business, so don't tell me you're innocent, Carlo. Admit what you did. [Carlo breaks down] Get him a drink. Come on. Don't be afraid, Carlo. Come on. You think I'd make my sister a widow? I'm Godfather to your son, Carlo. [Gives Carlo a drink] Go ahead, drink. Drink. No, Carlo, you're out of the family business, that's your punishment. We're finished. I'm putting you on a plane to Vegas. Tom? [Tom produces a plane ticket] I want you to stay there, understand? Only, don't tell me you're innocent, because it insults my intelligence. It makes me very angry. Now who approached you: Tattaglia or Barzini?

Carlo:

Michael:
Good. There's a car waiting for you outside, it'll take you to the airport. I'll call your wife and tell her what flight you're on.

Carlo:
Mike, it was—

Michael:
Go on. Get out of my sight.

[Carlo gets in the car and notices Clemenza sitting behind him]

Peter Clemenza:
Hey, Carlo. [strangles Carlo]
