  • Do not kill a made man, because it will come back to hurt you.
  • After a massive heist, do not buy anything fancy; lie low.
  • When you need money, rob an airport.
  • Do not make a mob boss your silent restaurant partner.
  • If you sell cocaine, do not use it.
  • If you truly hate someone, shoot them in the face so their mother cannot hold an open-casket funeral.
  • Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.
  • If a new boyfriend pistol-whips someone in front of you, reconsider ending up with him.
  • If you are part of a crew, nobody tells you they are going to kill you.
  • The bonus lesson is not to get divorced.
