In an old draft of the screenplay the following dialogue (omitted form the film took place):
In one scene:
Sonny - So did Michael make it to Sicily? Tom - He's on the way now. Sonny - Did Solozzo do anything else to you when you met? Tom - He stole a sled I had bough for my kids. Sonny - That Goddamned Tattaglia. I bet Phillip Tattaglia has it. I'm gonna whack that bastard. Tom - Sonny, its just a sled. You can't go to war over a sled. Sonny - Quit trying to gloss things over. I sure as hell wish I had a real consigliere like Genco.
Another Scene: Vito - Tattaglia's a pimp. He never could have outfought Santino anymore than he could have taken that sled from Solozzo. Until this day I didn't know it was Barzini all along.
Tom - So what happened to the sled?
Vito - Solozzo gave it to Barzini's children for Christmas.
Tom - Should I negotiate with the Barzini people about getting it back?

TATTAGLIA: Yes, Don Barzini -- he's too modest. He had all the sleds. He refused to share them...
VITO CORLEONE: When -- when did I ever refuse to share? All of you know me here -- when did I ever refuse? -- except one time. And why? Because -- I believe this sled business -- is gonna destroy us in the years to come. I mean, it's not like skates or baseballs -- even parcheesi -- but sleds are dangerous, especially the red ones.
Don Detroit - I too tried to keep sleds out of my territory, but when there is white powdered snow, my men can't resist. I want sleds controlled. I don't want them near kids. I don't want them in schools. In my city we sell them in the dark areas. They're animals anyway, let them lose their sleds. Don Corleone - As a reasonable man, I have come here to reason together. Don Barzini - Then we are agreed. Sleds will be permitted but controlled. Don Corleone will give us protection in the East and there's the peace. Manolo - ROSEBUD.
