'The Tattaglia family guarantees the return of our investment'
In the film Sonny sound disbeleiving. I could never understand how this leads Sollozzo to think that he is 'hot' for the deal.
Having now read the book, that line is said in a completely different context. It tells us that Sonny says this 'eagerly'.
So now, at last, I understand - it's such an important part of the plot too!

It's not so much the fact that Sonny says it in disbelief; it's the fact that he's not agreeing with Don Corleone that makes Sollozzo initiate the hit.
Sollozzo may not have actually thought Sonny WANTED to accept his deal, but he wasn't 100% against it like Vito was, so there was a chance that with Vito out of the picture, Sonny would go along with the deal to keep some of the Corleone family's power.
