Tom Hagen tried to stop him, but Sonny refused to listen. As Sonny
drove quickly out of the gates, Tom told two bodyguards to follow him.
Between Long Island and the City of New York, there was a kind of
bridge. Before anyone could cross, they had to stop at the tollbooth and
pay. When Sonny arrived at the bridge, only one tollbooth was open. He
had to wait because another car was in front of him. Sonny impatiently
looked for some money in his jacket
pocket.
