Do you think even at the moment Tom utteed those words he knew Michael didn't think of him as a real brother, but instead knew in his heart that Tom's was Michael's choice of last resort under the circumstances?
Intellectually, he probably did know he was last resort. But, emotionally, at that moment, he meant what he said. "Hope springs eternal..." That hope got dashed when his "brother" returned from Havana.
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.
