very true, but when you're dealing with someone as cool and collected, and just sheer bad ass as Tony, you gotta keep you're faith in him!!

Tony would have had the kid, the money, then went back on his own time to finish off the other brother.

If you care enough to go around telling people you don't care... you obviously care.
