Surprised no one has said this yet. When Kay unexpectedly comes to the house and Tom meets her out front. She looks at the remnants of an exploded car and asks "what's that?"

Tom smiles and and says it "was an accident, but no one got hurt."

Did we ever get an explanation of that car in the book or a deleted scene?


Its been awhile since I read the book, but I seem to remember a passage in the book, that might have explained the damaged car in the mall.


Yes, it's explained in the novel. During the war after the Sollozzo hit, a car pulled up to the mall gate, and one of the men in it tossed a bomb over the wall. Before reading the book I thought that Tom wasn't telling the truth when he said that "no one got hurt."
