everyone misquotes this, the cannoli is pluralized in the line. he says cannolis, clearly. im unsure why it is so commonly misquoted with such a simple mistake.
There's no reason to dispose of the body. The reason they leave the gun is because its untraceable (or at least they hope it is). Better to leave it for the cops to find than to take it with you, get pulled over and have the gun found on you. Most professional killers who have confidence the gun can't be linked to them leave it behind.
It basically signifies the attempt ( largely successful,in some ways) of trying to separate the business from home life. Tony S. tried it also. I believe I read somewhere that the line " Leave the gun,take the cannoli" was improvisation. I don't iknow whether or not that's true.
@huaun You would leave the body in this situation for RESPECT. It's to show the rest of the family don't trade. They left the gun because it was untraceable so, you leave it there for the police. They took the cannoli because Clemenza's wife told him to bring some home.
There's nothing to get... It's just showing that they're cold SOBs. They just killed their friend and as they're getting ready to dispose of him they take his food so they'll have something to munch on as they're getting rid of his body - at least I think that's what happened - it's been a few years since I've seen this movie.
no you're wrong they just killed paulie and ryte before they left the big guys house his wife was nagging him about forgeting the cannoli. but still its a great movie
Right-- the point is, they are stone cold killers, but they are afraid of pissing off the wife, who warned them not to forget the cannoli... it's ironic
@imblessedso They use guns that aren't traceable to them and they don't leave the scene with them in their possession. The gun being in their possession would link them to the killing through ballistics.
the best part and the movie

Cannoli is plural. The singular form is cannolo. He does not say cannolis.

Don't be naive. Paulie was the rat that also told them the Don's moves so the hit would go easier.

It does mean it. Mob families aren't like a job. You practically live with one another.
To suddenly call in sick on the very day the person he protects gets hit means he was-- at minimum-- paid to walk away

@ssaftler Why leave the gun? So the police can deduce how they ended up dead and riddled with bullets:
"Hey Chief, that mafia informant was found dead and full of bullets"
"Hmm, now why would he eat a load of bullets? Was he hungry?"
"uuuuh, we also found a gun..."
"Aw yeah! he must have been shot! Oh it's obvious now"

They didn't dispose of Paulie, they left him there to be found. They wanted him found as a message to all traitors. ( I re-read the book recently)
