Hmm. That's a good point Pete about Sonny. Maybe he was skeptical. But, in any case, Sonny's exclamation was premature because he shouldn't have expected Sollozzo to mention the Tattaglia's percenatge at that point in the proposal. Although such a percentage would have been customary in such a deal, it was a detail that would have only come up later if Vito had okayed the deal. However, I've never felt comfortable interpreting his exclamation as eagerness.
