So apparently the first time I read The Godfather, I somehow missed the part where Tom Hagen arranges to have someone killed. WTF?

One thing that I do wish they'd included from the novel in Godfather 2 was that young Sonny followed his Father following Fanucci and witnessed his Father killing him and that's what resulted in Sonny joining the family business.
This scene gives me so many feelings. Sonny's words are so shockingly and incredibly cruel, especially considering how sensitive and insecure Tom already is. He wanted to hurt him here and could hardly have chosen a more effective weapon than those two sentences. Yet you can see how he much instantly regrets his words, he loves Tom so deeply that in spite of his pride, he doesn't hesitate to back down and try to make amends.
I wish that we'd been able to see Tom's expression here. He's obviously badly wounded by those words but I also get the impression that he was also angry and came very close to hitting him and probably would have if Sonny hadn't backtracked. That hand gesture Tom makes says fuck you Sonny even as he tells Sonny that it's over.
