Yes, to emphasize Michael's cruelty to Tom. Also, note the smug look on Neri's face when Michael is demeaning Tom. Neri was obviously the source of that negative info (as well as the job offer from the House and Hotels). Neri was trying to push past Michael and become his second in command.

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
