He just believed it because he wanted to believe it. He gave Johnny a fervently grateful look, clasped his knee and said, "You tell him that's greatly appreciated"--a rare show of emotion for Michael.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
