But the novel (English-language version) points out that McCluskey was "greedy and untrustworthy to do business with." Vito was a man of his word, he "never disappointed anyone" by failing to keep a pledge.
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.
