在哥普拉的電影《教父續集》中,Frank Pentangeli「出賣」Michael不成,Michael派出軍師Tom Hagen探望Frank,兩人有以下的一段對話:
Tom Hagen: When a plot against the Emperor failed… the plotters were always given a chance… to let their families keep their fortunes. Right?
Frank Pentangeli: Yeah, but only the rich guys, Tom. The little guys got knocked off and all their estates went to the Emperors. Unless they went home and killed themselves, then nothing happened. And the families… the families were taken care of.
Tom Hagen: That was a good break. A nice deal.
Frank Pentangeli: Yeah… They went home… and sat in a hot bath… opened up their veins… and bled to death… and sometimes they had a little party before they did it.

以此對比九鐵事件,竟然以「握手示好,兩人留任」(上右圖,撮自無線電視新聞)的方式荒謬落幕,這也真夠諷刺的--確是:此一時,彼一時也。
