THE MOVIE IS A TRUE STORY! THE LINE WAS ACTUALLY SAID IN REAL LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"After Pal Joey left the van, we got on the turnpike and headed for Staten Island. Along the way, Johnny started having some sort of seizure. He claimed he was having a heart attack. I had to bend close to him to hear him whisper to reach into his jacket pocket for his nitroglycerine pills. He begged me to put a pill in his mouth. `Don't let me die from a heart attack,' he said. He knows we're going to kill him and he is saying something like this? That's when I realized that we were dealing with a real man's man here! His stature got even bigger in my eyes when we got to the toll plaza at the exit for Staten Island. I naturally assumed that he would start some sort of commotion to get the attention of the toll booth cops, to try and save himself. I was convinced of this. I whispered to Stymie to be prepared in case Keys tried to pull something. But I was wrong. Johnny didn't try a thing. He didn't refuse to try and help himself because he had given up all hope. It was because he was true Cosa Nostra. This was a family matter. There would be no police. "We get to Staten Island without incident. We drove to a gas station that some guys with Louie Milito own. We lay over there. The hours go by. I'm calling Russo's house. I'm not getting an answer. I got to know that they got away. Because if they're pinched, they'll be pinched for murder if I kill Keys. He ain't dead yet and I would have gone to Paul and said, `Things got *beep* up. Guys have got pinched. It's your decision what to do now.' It was the longest wait in that gas station - I don't know, ten, twelve hours. Johnny Keys don't know what's delaying things. He figures he's been kidnapped to be killed. As a cover, I explain that a decision was being made by the bosses about whether he is to live or die. Each time I left the van to telephone the Russo home, I told him I was phoning the bosses to see if a decision had been reached. Johnny Keys was a cousin of Angelo Bruno. During that long wait, he lashed out against the Genovese family. He blamed it for all of the troubles the Philadelphia family had gone through, the war that was raging, all the troubles that not only came to him but to the whole family. How he now knows it was the greed of the Genovese people that caused this. How the Chin-Vincent Gigante-had conned this Tony Bananas that the commission sanctioned the hit on Bruno. How the Chin conned the commission by volunteering to do an investigation and taking out Tony. It was brutal the way Tony went, shot in the arms and the elbows first. You could feel Johnny's hatred as he talked about how this life we led was being poisoned. How many more good people would die? But there in that van he continued to act like a man. He asked that, if he lost with the bosses and was sentenced to die, that a made guy do it, a friend of ours. He said he always promised himself and his wife that he would die with his shoes off. If the decision came against him, would I take them off? `Of course,' I said. I never asked him what the reason was. The more we talked, the more impressed I was. I really respected him. When I sent Louie and Stymie out for food and coffee, he tells us to hold the sugar for him! Afterward, I heard a noise outside the van. I drew my gun. Maybe a cop was nosing around, checking out the van that was parked there so long. He must have guessed what I was thinking. He whispered, `If it's a cop, shoot him before you shoot me.' His resolve shook me up. It was like at the toll booth. There would be no police involved in family business. But it wasn't a cop. It was Louie and Stymie coming back from the food and coffee run. Louie and Stymie told me later that during one of the times I was trying to phone Russo, Johnny said to them he underestimated me all along. He said this was the first time in his life that he was caught unaware of a plan hatching around him. I'd completely sucked him in. He told them that he'd been responsible for about fifty hits himself, but that Sammy did the best piece of work setting this up he ever saw. I finally did make contact with Nicky Russo. Him and Pal Joey were safe. I told them where we were and to come. I was outside the van when they showed up. They said there was a lot of confusion back at the country club. Nobody was exactly sure what happened. Pal Joey was able to return and drive Russo away without any problems. "This was bad news for Johnny Keys. I went back into the van and told him that the `decision' had come back against him. He had lost. He had to go. Like the man he was, the man I had come to understand him to be, the man I'd learned to respect over the past hours, he accepted this without comment. Me and Stymie and Louie - none of us were happy with what was to come. I felt terrible that a man with such balls had to be hit. But this was Cosa Nostra. The boss of my family had ordered it. The entire commission ordered it. There was nothing else I could do. We drove to a section of Staten Island that had a back road running along a wooded area. We stopped the van. I remembered his request about his shoes. I took them off. Pal Joey went to grab him and pull him out. He kicked out at Joey right in the chest. He said, `I'll walk out on my own. Let me die like a man.' He took five or six steps away from the van. Without a word, he lowered his head, quiet and dignified. I nodded at Louie Milito. As requested by Johnny Keys, he would be killed by a made member. Louie put a .357 magnum to the back of Johnny's head and fired. The shot immediately leveled him to the ground. He died instantly. He died without pain. He died with dignity. He died Cosa Nostra." - Underboss: Sammy the Bull Gravano's Story of Life in the Mafia By Peter Maas

"The line had no meaning"?It showed that Sammy wasn't smart enough to figure out that when the body would be found shoeless,that it was a code previously set up to tell the dead gangster's crew who whacked him.
Ex.If you guys ever find my body shoeless you guys will know it was Don Carlo who ordered the hit-it had nothing to do with his wife.

Will you go to lunch!Will you go to lunch..
