In the Mafia, a "good" husband is one who has only one or two goumads, and doesn't either beat his wife or infect her with STD's. By that measure, Sonny was a "good" husband. Carlo was an adulterer, a wife beater and a traitor. Also (according to the novel) a poor earner--the major Mafia offense.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
