"Brasi does as he is told, visiting Sollozzo and Tattaglia at a bar, where they offer him a job. Brasi asks what his salary will be, showing his priorities are in order, but Sollozzo and Tattaglia know it's a set up. Brasi's hand is nailed to the bar with a knife while a thug brutally strangles him from behind."

Just so you know I am an amatuer Godfather afficionado, and actually post in a GF Forum, if you can believe it. Here is the exact dialogue from the scene where Luca is killed;
CUT TO: Luca Brasi walking down hallway to the bar.
CUT TO: Luca Brasi's meeting at Tattaglia's bar -night
BRUNO TATTAGLIA
Luca, I'm Bruno Tattaglia.
LUCA
I know
BRUNO TATTAGLIA
Su bequero Scotch? Pre-war...
LUCA
Io no bib' ["I don't drink"]
SOLLOZZO
You know who I am?
LUCA
[In Italian: I know you]
SOLLOZZO
[In Italian: You have been talking to the Tattaglia family...right? I think you and I can do
business. I need someone strong like you. I heard you are not happy -- with the Corleone
Family. Want to join me?]
LUCA
[In Italian: What's in it for me?]
SOLLOZZO
[In Italian: $50,000 -- to start with.]
LUCA
[In Italian: Not bad]
SOLLOZZO (offering his hand to Luca)
[In Italian: Agreed?]
[Luca doesn't shake. He takes out a cigarette, which Bruno lights]
LUCA
Grazie.
[Bruno grabs Luca's hand to the bar, Sollozzo rams a knife into it, and Luca is
garroted by a buttonman]
