What If Michael Had Said...


...."Sorry, Guys. I love my father and will do whatever I can to help him recover, but you are planning a murder, and I want no part of it. You guys are the in the family business, not me. Do what you want, but I'm out".

Seems to me that Sonny eventually becomes Don and things fall apart from there, don't you think? I know it's a hypothetical and the film doesn't go in that direction, but still, it's an interesting thought.

Sonny absolutely would have become Don but with his temper, he wouldn't have lasted long at all. He would never be able to make sound decisions with his temper and he would probably be assassinated within a year.

Tom would have made a good Don but that would never ever happen.

What if the gun had been planted poorly and Mikey walked out of the bathroom with just his dick in his hand, bada bing.
