In The Godfather, Part II, a young Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) agrees to hide a ragged bundle of handguns for his neighbor Clemenza (Bruno Kirby, Jr.). As payment for the favor, Clemenza offers to give Vito "a nice rug", suggesting that his wife might like it. When Vito accompanies Clemenza to pick up the promised rug, Clemenza jimmies the front door of a luxuriously-furnished apartment and begins rolling up an expensive carpet. They are almost interrupted by a police officer, but escape with the stolen rug, launching Vito into a world of shady dealings and criminal enterprise.
