'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!
