michael says

I saw an interesting thing today.
A man was being arrested by the
Military Police; probably an urban
guerrilla. Rather than be taken
alive, he exploded a grenade hidden
in his jacket, taking the command
vehicle with him.

The various men look up as Michael eats his cake, wondering
what the point of it is.

2. It's from "The Godfather II" ...

Michael Corleone: "I saw an interesting thing happen today. A rebel was being arrested by the military police, and rather than be taken alive, he exploded a grenade he had hidden in his jacket. He killed himself, and took a captain of the command with him."

Johnny Ola: "Those rebels, you know, they're lunatics."

Michael Corleone: "Maybe so -- but it occurred to me. The soldiers are paid to fight -- the rebels aren't."

Hyman Roth: "What does that tell you?"

Michael Corleone: "They can win."

Since Michael ended up backing out of the deal with Hyman Roth in Cuba, it shows that even the mafia is wise enough to avoid involving themselves in a fight with a people so committed to the cause of reclaiming their occupied homeland, that they will commit suicide ...
