    I thought about that, but then I figured since he didn't actually whack the broad that he'd just take half. Maybe that was a misstep on my part, though. But mafia guys generally have some sort of code of ethics, as strange as that sounds, so I didn't figure he'd take it all.

    I would agree with your assessment. Ethics is ethics, even in the mafia.
