Thank you.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Who do you want here?

We came for your son.

For who?

Don Giccio thinks he's as crazy as his father.

Let's go and fuck ourselves.

I'll take care of this case.

Let's shake hands, Mr. Ciccio.

Mr. Ciccio, you killed my husband, so that he wouldn't be killed.

And my son, Ranni, Paolo, so that he would have sworn his life.

But Vito, he was only nine years old, and he's still alive.

And then he had Cuzzanica.

I don't care about words, you know.

But my son is sick.

When he grows up, he grows up strong.

No.

If Don Ciccio comes to know that some family members have been beaten to

death, it ends badly.

Do you understand?

Yes or no?

Vito, we'll open it for you.

Don't take it out.

I thought you were speaking quite clearly.

The state of freedom, guys.

The state of freedom.

Yes.

What is your name?

Come on, son. What is your name?

Vito Andolini from Corleone.

Corleone. Vito Corleone.

Okay. Over there.

Next.

Your name.

Tell him he has smallpox, quarantined three months.

You have to go for three months in quarantine to the island of Elis.

um is

What are you

doing?

Trazer!

Sit down.

Finally, a letter from Naples.

It's beautiful.

It's really beautiful.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

It's beautiful for you.

For me and my wife and my son.

Popolo portava a mangiare

What do you want?

I want a new one.

Me,

come on.

Come on in.

Come on in.

We'll go see it backstage.

Excuse me.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come here, come on.

What do you want from my family?

in position

What are you doing?

I bet you don't know what happened.

No, Jack. What happened?

These guys from over on 9th Street, Greg Fannucci, they cut his throat from ear

to ear.

No, I don't know.

What happened? Did he die?

No.

They made him look like a murderer.

They made him look like a murderer, you know?

They make him look bad, you know?

Why?

Why? Why?

You know I don't have any respect for you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's bad to be here.

This is my nephew.

How's business?

Good.

Thank you, sir.

He's a good guy. He'll pay you back in time.

He's a good guy.

He's a good guy.

He's a good guy.

He's a good guy.

He's a good guy. He's a good guy.

He's a good guy.

Vito, come here.

I understand,

I understand.

I can't take it, I can't take it.

Don't you like it when it's overflowing?

Leave me alone.

La semana que viene, bello, es muy bello.

You put in so many hours of hard work and for what?

You're just like my father.

That poor man used to work over 12 hours a day in a subway.

And in the end, he never even got to take a ride.

Sure, but we only have money to pay for the carpet.

No, we have to give it to you.

I don't know how to thank you.

Come here.

You'll like it if I die.

You son of a bitch, don't you have a house?

Wait, wait.

Shit, I don't know where the key is.

I don't want the house to be torn down.

You got that on me,

Couton?

It's one of the best.

Viru, give me your hand.

Sit with me.

He walked away in the last of his love, a

fool and a criminal, saying he was a fool.

Hey!

Lorenzo!

I'm Tessio.

Agostino Coppola?

Trust me.

My son knows these things.

Hey, Carmine, come here.

Go to get your flute.

Hey,

play something for my friends.

What? This song.

A song that I like. What's it called?

A song that I like.

Ah, buongiorno, signore.

Signor, I got these dresses here for five dollars apiece.

You'd have to pay at least fifteen or twenty dollars for them in any one of

the stores.

Permisso.

Italiassi.

No, italiassi sono di prima qualità.

Non lo so, c'è quale che mi piace che sai.

Oh, the Italians will all drink it.

What if I give you another one?

Are you kidding me? My husband will kill me if he finds out that I have five dark

clothes.

I don't like it.

Then, I'll give you another one.

But all this time, you've been there.

What do you want?

I don't even know how I'm going to do it.

Guido, take the rest to your warehouse in Tandini.

Tandini will take them to the distributor.

. .

.

. .

You don't know that I work for 600 police schools.

I only ask for a hundred for the protection of my eyes.

And I also forget the disease.

You don't know that I respect people like me.

But if I don't, they'll come to my house.

And you'll be all old and disfigured.

If my education isn't right, I'll be called an old woman.

And for a little bit of money, maybe... 100 scoops.

And for a little bit of money, maybe... 100 scoops. And for a little bit of

money, maybe... 100 scoops.

And for a little bit of money, maybe... 100 scoops.

And for a little bit of money,

maybe... 100

scoops. What are you trying to do with my mouth?

Do you want to get rid of it?

Clemenza knows me.

And he understands these things.

Listen to him.

And you have your own experience.

You can understand that this business is new.

I understand, I understand.

Thank you for talking to me like a father.

You're a good boy.

You respect me, that's a big thing for a boy.

Nice clothes, huh?

By the way, are you married?

Yes. Ah, what a pity. I have three children to marry.

What a pity.

Do you think I'll be happy with these 100 students?

But I think so.

I want to know how much it costs.

I don't know how much it costs.

More than $100 for one.

$600?

What happens if we don't pay?

You have to pay me $100 a month. That's all.

Who are you paying for?

I don't know. I don't know.

I'm alone.

We're here.

I'm armed.

We're armed.

Why are you sending us money?

You don't understand.

I don't know what's going on.

Yes, but...

I know Rui Casino Riocco, and he's not from Affanucci. Where?

From Giordano Greco on the 2nd Avenue, Frank Pignataro on the 5th Street, and

he's not from Affanucci.

If you don't pay anything from Affanucci, someone else will go to

Maranzano. You don't have to pay.

It's better for everyone else.

Don't worry.

If you want to kill me, stay here.

If you want to kill me, you have to agree.

Why do you have to pay Fanucci 50 scudo?

I can guarantee you that I'll kill you.

When Fanucci kills you, there's nothing you can do.

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Let me do it.

I take everything. But how are you going to make us fight less?

I don't care about you guys.

But just remember that you're doing us a favor.

Do we agree?

Tito, here's my fifty dollars.

One for two.

When he said die, I'm making an offer. He don't refuse.

Don't worry.

Do you think there are... 300 shields under my bed?

Huh?

You're right, Ayo.

There are only 300 shields.

What do you want with that amount of money?

How long have you been here?

I haven't seen you in a long time.

You don't understand,

do you?

What's the matter?

I see you're a little boy.

I never saw you before.

Without a doubt, eh?

If you can help me, let me know.

You made me a fool.

Enjoy the party!

Hold on.

Oh, my God!

Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, what are

you doing?

... ... ...

...

... ... ... ...

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the

Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Who was like that?

Thank you.

I'm the chicken and you?

All fresh, all fresh.

Fruitto da giornata.

No, no, è il mio piacere.

Niente sordo.

È un regalo questo.

Grazie. Prego.

Tu sei molto gentile.

There's something I do for you. You come, we talk. Grazie.

Grazie. State buono.

She wants to talk to you.

A little bit from the 7th century.

Thank you.

. .

.

. . . .

I'm sorry, but... I can give you some money to help you change the

house, if you want. I don't want that.

I want you to talk to Ido and tell him I want to stay here.

What's your name, Ido?

Mr. Canucci, Mr. Roberto.

Stay here, there's a neighbor here.

He's a friend of my wife, Mrs. Colombo.

I'd like to tell her that she has no reason to talk about all this.

She's a poor woman, a victim, who has no reason to defend her.

She's a poor woman, a needy woman, a needy woman. I'm just imagining things.

I've already done it at home.

In our family.

I...

I didn't come here to talk to you, but you know what I'm going to do.

I'm going to show you what's going on in this mess.

So, why can't you stay?

I can't.

Why? I can't.

But you're Sicilian.

No, no, I'm Calabrian.

I'm going to do you a favor, you're going to stay in the car.

But you already paid for it.

I can't do it, I can't do it.

I have to pay for it.

Eh, vabbè, quanto pagano ch'io sai un mese?

Cinque scuote.

Cà ci sono sei mesi d'anticipo.

Ma un gira gisa n'entraite, è una cristiana orgogliosa. E me venisse a

trovare un dannato sei mesi.

E me scetto u cani a prestare, eh?

Eh? U cani a prestare.

Sto cazzo!

Sto cazzo!

I don't come here to fight with you.

And you think about it.

Come and talk to me. Mr. Roberto, I don't want to talk to you.

But I don't want to talk to you either. And then we'll let it be, right?

But I don't want to talk to you.

I don't want to talk to you.

I don't like it.

I don't like it.

I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't like it.

I don't like it.

The house is yours, right? Ah, the house is mine? The house is yours. Ah, it's

not mine.

Don't be stupid.

Don't say that.

I don't forget.

It's a pleasure to be with you and to be close to you and me.

You know how much I love you.

God bless you.

God bless you.

Vito, the landlord's here.

Roberto, the one who owns the rat holes.

They've been asking all around the neighborhood about you.

Thank you. One, two, three, four, five, six, all of

them. Because with Don Vito, you don't need money.

Can I sit down?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I can offer you something.

A cup of coffee.

But I'd like to... Have a coffee with me.

It's an appointment.

It's late, I can't this time. This time, as soon as you invite me, we'll have

coffee, we'll talk.

I understand you're a friend, but now you have to forgive me. You don't have

to tell me, eh?

We did all our talks, but this time you have to forgive me, because I've just...

I've been great, I love you, and I also like being with you, you know,

because... I understand.

You understand that you're a true friend of mine. But I'm losing my mind.

Just call me. You call me and I'll come back.

It's too late.

Leave me alone.

I don't know what to do with these hands.

They're like bronze.

Vito.

Clemenza wants to talk.

I just found this kid here on the street, and he's real good with cars.

He looked at the truck, and he says he thinks he can fix it.

Hey, what's your name?

Suchowski.

Hyman Suchowski.

Yeah, but we're gonna dump that.

I call him Johnny Lips.

Well, we'll give him a better name.

Hey, who's the greatest man to you in the whole world?

Hey, come on, Hyman. Answer Mr. Corleone when he talks. Yeah, who is it? Is it

Columbus, Marconi, Garibaldi?

Arnold Rothstein.

Arnold Rothstein.

Rothstein. I like that.

And we call you Hyman Rothstein.

Hey!

What do you think?

God bless America.

We're going to make a big business.

We are friends.

Thank you, Don Pedro.

Hey,

Sonny, what are you doing? What are you doing?

L'amico nostro si incazza veramente.

L'amico nostro si incazza veramente.

Se la voce fa mica una protezione a Vito Andolini.

Ho capiti?

The Russian name of Cristiano is Solo.

Solo?

Yes, I'm Solo.

I played with a little boy from Corleone.

No.

Yes. Yes.

Yes. I was one of those men 25 years ago.

And you remember a little boy, Vito Andolini.

Yes, why?

And why?

I am.

And now you have to taste this olive that I made for you. Miss, bring the

olives.

Taste, taste.

They are good. Taste, taste all four. Take, take two too.

Take, children, they are very good.

It's good, eat it, eat it.

Don Ciccio.

Don Ciccio.

Don Ciccio. Don Ciccio.

Don Ciccio. Don Ciccio. Don Ciccio. Don Ciccio. Don

Ciccio.

Genco Olive Oil Company.

Significa Compagnia d'Oglio d'Oliva, Don Ciccio.

Don Ciccio, noi altri volessimo la sua benedizione e la sua permessa per

cominciare il suo travaglio.

E' un nesto peccciotto di una guaiocca.

Eccola vicino a me, Don Ciccio.

Eh, let him come closer.

What do you want? I... I don't see him so good from afar.

I understand that Don Ciccio wants to meet her.

What do you mean, Don Ciccio? What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Benedetto.

What's your name?

My name is Vito Corleone.

Pinto Corleone.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

That's what's up.

Okay, man.

Say goodbye.

I believe in America.

America has made my fortune.

And I raised my daughter in the American fashion.

I gave her freedom, but I taught her neighbor to dishonor her family.

She found a boyfriend, not an Italian.

She went to the movies with him. She stayed out late.

I didn't protest.

Two months ago, he took her for a drive with another boyfriend.

They made her drink whiskey.

And then they tried to take advantage of her.

She resisted.

She kept her honor.

So they beat her like an animal.

When I went to the hospital, her nose was broken.

Her jaw was shattered, held together by wire.

She couldn't even weep because of the pain.

But I wept.

Why did I weep?

She was the light of my life.

Beautiful girl.

Now she will never be beautiful again.

Sorry.

I... I went to the police like a good American.

These two boys were brought to trial.

The judge sentenced them to three years in prison and suspended the sentence.

Suspended the sentence.

They went free that very day.

I stood in the courtroom like a fool.

And those two bastards, they smiled at me.

Then I said to my wife, for justice, we must go to Don Corleone.

Why didn't you go to the police?

Why didn't you come to me first?

What do you want from me?

Tell me anything but do what I beg you to do.

What is that?

That I cannot do.

I'll give you anything you ask me.

We've known each other many years, but this is the first time you ever came to

me for counsel, for help.

I can't remember the last time that you invited me to your house for a cup of

coffee.

Even though my wife is godmother to your only child.

But let's be frank, you never wanted my friendship.

And, uh, you were afraid to be in my debt.

I didn't want to get into trouble.

I understand.

You found paradise in America.

You had a good trade, made a good living, police protected you, and there

were courts of law.

And you didn't need a friend like me.

But, uh, now you come to me and you say...

Don Corleone, give me justice.

But you don't ask with respect.

You don't offer friendship.

You don't even think to call me Godfather.

Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter's to be married and you

ask me to do murder for money.

I ask you for justice.

That is not justice. Your daughter is still alive.

Living is suffering.

As she suffers, how much shall I pay you?

Buona sera.

Buona sera.

What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?

If you'd come to me in friendship, then the scum that ruined your daughter would

be suffering this very day.

And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then he

would become my enemies.

And then they would fear you.

Be my friend?

Someday, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for

us.

But until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.

Grazie. Grazie.

Grazie.

Give this to Clemenza.

i want reliable people people that aren't going to be carried away i mean

we're not murdering in spite of what this undertaker says

Where's Michael?

Don't worry, it's okay.

We're not taking the picture without Michael.

They'll photograph you with that.

What's the matter, son? It's Michael.

What are you doing?

Welcome to Arkana.

Let me have some wine.

Holy!

More wine.

Music, please.

Ah, you look terrific on the floor. Anyway, they showed you something?

I've about to get you to it.

Go take a walk around the neighborhood. Do your job.

Hey, son, come on, do me a favor. Watch the kids. Don't let them run wild, all

right? Well, you watch yourself, all right?

20, 30 grand in small bills, cash, in that little silk purse.

Not on if this was somebody else's wedding.

Hey, folly, I got two gabagool.

Gabagool. Stupid joke.

go back to work. Oh, Tom.

It's part of the wedding. No Sicilian can refuse any request on his daughter's

wedding day.

I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to

your home.

Hey, get out of here.

It's a private party. Go on.

What is it?

Hey, it's my sister's wedding.

Damn FBI don't respect nothing

But

towards

the end he was paroled to help with the American war effort So for the last six

months, he's been working in my pastry shop.

Azari, my friend, what can I do for you?

Not that the war is over.

This boy Enzo, they want to repatriate him back to Italy.

Godfather, I have a daughter.

You see, she and Enzo... You want Enzo to stay in this country and you want

your daughter to be married.

You understand everything.

Thank you. Thank you.

And wait till you see the beautiful wedding cake I made for your daughter.

Oof, like this.

The bride and the groom and the angel and... Very nice.

Who should I give this job to?

Not to our Paisan.

Give it to a chill congressman in another district.

Who else is on the list?

He's not on the list, but Luca Brasi wants to see you.

Is this... Is this necessary?

He didn't expect to be invited to the wedding, so he wanted to thank you.

All right.

Don Calhoun, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your home on

the wedding day of your daughter.

And may that first child be a masculine child.

Don. Michael.

Don Calhoun.

That man over there is talking to himself.

Isn't that scary guy over there?

He's a very scary guy.

Well, who is he? What's his name?

His name is Luca Brasi.

He helps my father out sometimes.

Oh, Michael, wait a minute. He's coming over here.

Hey. Oh.

Hey.

You look terrific.

My brother Tom Higgins is Kay Adams.

How do you do?

Your father's been asking for it.

Very nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

If he's your brother, why does he have a different name?

Oh, uh, when my brother Sonny was a kid, he found Tom Hagen in the street, and he

had no home.

And so my father took him in.

And he's been with us ever since.

He's a good lawyer.

Not a Sicilian, but... I think he's gonna be consigliere.

What's that?

That's, um... Like a counselor, an advisor.

Very important to the family.

You like your lasagna?

Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to

your daughter's wedding.

On the day of your daughter's wedding.

And I hope that their first child be a masculine child.

I pledge my ever-ending loyalty

for your daughter's bridal purse.

Thank you, my most valued friend.

Don Calhoun, I'm going to leave you now because I know you are busy.

Thank you.

I thought

Thank you.

The senator called. He apologized for not coming personally, but said you'd

understand.

Also, some of the judges, they've all sent gifts.

What is that outside?

when I told you it was going to come. It's been two years. He's probably in

trouble again.

He's a good guy, son.

Sure. My father helped him with his career.

He did?

How?

Let's listen to the song.

No, Michael.

Please, Michael, tell me.

Well, when Johnny was first starting out, he was signed to this personal

service contract from the big band leader.

And as his career got better and better, he wanted to get out of it.

Now, Johnny is my father's godson.

And my father went to see this band leader.

And he offered him $10,000 to let Johnny go.

But the band leader said no.

So the next day, my father went to see him, only this time with Luca Brazzi.

And within an hour...

He signed a release for a certified check of $1,000.

How did he do that?

My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

What was that?

Luca Brazzi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his

brains or his signature would be on the contract.

It's a true story.

That's my family, kids, not me.

I'll take care of it.

Tom, I want you to find Santino. Tom will come to the office.

How are you, Fredo?

Fredo, my brother Fredo, this is Kay Adams.

Hi. How are you doing?

This is my brother Mike. Are you having a good time?

Yeah, this is your friend, huh?

I don't know what to do.

My voice is weak.

It's weak.

Anyway, if I had this part in the picture, you know, it puts me right back

up on top again.

But this, uh... This man out there, he won't give it to me. The head of the

studio. What's his name?

Waltz. Waltz. He won't give it to me. And he says there's no chance.

No chance.

Sonny? Sonny?

Sonny?

Sonny, you in there?

What? Your old man wants to see you.

There, one minute.

Oh,

Sonny.

Month ago, he bought the movie rights to this book, the bestseller.

And the main character is a guy just like me. Why, you know, I wouldn't even

have to act. Just be myself.

Godfather, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.

You can act like a man!

Is this how you turn down a Hollywood Pinocchio that cries like a woman?

What can I do? What can I do?

What is that nonsense?

Ridiculous.

You spend time with your family?

Sure I do.

Good.

Because a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.

Come here.

You look terrible.

I want you to eat.

I want you to rest well. In a month from now, this Hollywood big shot's gonna

give you what you want.

It's too late. They start shooting in a week.

I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.

Go outside, enjoy yourself.

I want you to leave all to me.

What time does my daughter leave with the bridegroom?

In a few minutes, right after they cut the cake.

Now, your new son-in-law, will you give him something important?

Never.

Give him a living, but never discuss the family business with him.

What else?

Virgil Salazzo call.

Now, we're gonna have to give him a day sometime next week. We'll discuss him

when you come back from California.

When am I going to California?

I want you to go tonight. I want you to talk to this...

Move a big shot and settle this business for Johnny.

Now, if there's nothing else, I'd like to go to my daughter's wedding.

Uh, the hospital called.

Uh,

Consigliere Jenko.

He's not gonna last out the night.

Santino.

We'll tell your brothers that I want them to come with me to visit Jenko and

pay their respects.

Tell Fred to drive the big car and ask Johnny to come.

And Pop, uh, Michael?

All my sons.

Okay, that's it. Just like that now. Hold it.

Will your American girlfriend get back in the city all right?

Tom said he'd take her in.

What are all these Christmas ribbons for?

For bravery.

What miracles do you do for strangers?

Just a matter of time. I don't want to talk to you.

What are your plans when you get out?

Finish school.

That's fine.

I approve of that.

Why do you never come to me as a son should?

You know that, don't you?

But when you finish school, I want you to come and talk to me, because I have

plans for you. You understand?

Janko. Janko.

I brought all my boys to pay their respects.

Even Johnny from Hollywood.

Godfather.

Godfather.

It is your daughter's wedding day.

You cannot... Refuse me.

Cure me. You have the power.

Jenko, I have no such power.

But don't be afraid of death.

It has been arranged, then?

You blaspheme.

But you need your old

consigliere. Who will replace me?

Stay with me, Godfather.

Help me to meet Death.

If he sees you, he'll be frightened and leave me in peace.

You can say a word, pull a few strings, eh?

Stay with me, Godfather.

Don't betray me.

Unaccustomed as I am to public drinking, I mean speaking, of course.

Janie, seriously, we took some time off from the picture because we all want to

wish you a happy birthday.

Now, Janie and everybody, we have a big surprise for you.

In order to show how much Wolsk International thinks of you, we have

brought you a special birthday present.

Hey, darling, wasn't that nice of Mr. Walsh to give you such a lovely present?

All right, start talking.

I was sent by a friend of Johnny Fontaine.

This friend is my client. He would give his undying friendship to Mr. Walsh. If

Mr. Walsh would grant us a small favor.

All this good listening.

Give Johnny the part in that new war film you're starting next week.

And, uh, what favor would, uh, your friend, uh, grant, Mr. Wolfe?

You're gonna have some union problems. My client could make them disappear.

Also, one of your top stars has just moved from, uh, marijuana to heroin.

Are you trying to muscle me?

Absolutely not. Now listen to me, you smooth-talking son of a bitch.

Let me lay it on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is. Johnny

Fontaine will never get that movie. I don't care how many Dago, Guinea, Wap,

Greaseball, Goombas come out of the woodwork.

I'm German-Irish.

Well, let me tell you something, my Kraut-Mick friend.

I'm going to make so much trouble for you, you won't know what hit you. Mr.

Walsh, I'm a lawyer. I have not threatened you. I know almost every big

lawyer in New York. Who the hell are you?

I have a special practice. I handle one client.

Now, you have my number. I'll wait for your call.

By the way, I admire your pictures very much.

Check them out.

Really beautiful.

Oh, look at this.

Used to decorate the palace of a king.

Oh, yeah.

Very nice.

Why don't you say you work for Corleone, Tom?

I thought you were just some cheap two-bit hustler Johnny was running in

trying to bluff me.

I don't have to use his name unless it's really necessary.

How's your drink, Tom?

Fine. Hey, come on over here with me. I want to show you something really

beautiful. You do appreciate beauty, don't you?

There you are, $600,000 on four hoofs. I'll bet Russian czars never paid that

kind of dough for a single horse.

Back to him.

Back to him.

I'm not going to race him, though.

I'm going to put him out to stud.

Thanks, Tony.

You're welcome.

Come on. Let's get something to eat, huh?

Guglione.

Johnny's godfather.

To the Italian people, that's a very religious, sacred, close relationship.

I respect that.

Just tell him he should ask me anything else.

But this is one favor I can't give him.

He never asks a second favor when he's been refused the first. Understood? You

don't understand.

Johnny Fontaine never gets that movie.

That part is perfect for him. It'll make him a big star.

I'm gonna run him out of the business. Then let me tell you why.

Johnny Fontaine Rune, one of Walsh International's most valuable protégés.

For five years, we had her under training, singing lessons, acting

lessons, dancing lessons. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on her.

I was going to make her a big star.

And let me be even more frank.

Just to show you that I'm not a hard-hearted man, that it's not all

dollars and cents.

She was beautiful.

She was young. She was innocent.

She was the greatest piece of ass I've ever had, and I've had them all over the

world.

And then Johnny Fontaine comes along with his olive oil voice and guinea

charm.

And she runs off.

She threw it all away just to make me look ridiculous.

And a man in my position can't afford to be made to look ridiculous.

Now you get the hell out of here!

And if that goomba tries any rough stuff, you tell him I ain't no

bandleader.

Yeah.

I heard that story.

Thank you for the dinner and a very pleasant evening.

Maybe your car could take me to the airport.

Mr. Corleone is a man who insists on hearing bad news immediately.

coming out here. I told you you'd have to go out of the room.

Come on.

You little lady.

Not too tired, are you, Tom? No, no, I slept on a plane.

Huh? I got the Sollozzo notes here.

Now... Sollozzo is known as the Turk.

He's supposed to be very good with a knife, but only in matters of business

with some sort of reasonable complaint.

Uh, his business is narcotics.

He has fields in Turkey where they grow the poppy.

In Sicily, he has the plants to process them... Harold.

Now he needs cash, he needs protection from the police, for which he gives a

piece of the action.

I couldn't find out how much.

The Tattaglia family is behind him here in New York.

Now they have to be in it for something.

How about his prison record?

Two terms, one in Italy, one here.

He's known as a top narcotics man.

Santino, what do you think?

There's a lot of money in that white powder.

Well, I say yes. There's more money potential in narcotics than anything

else we're looking at.

Now, if we don't get into it, somebody else will.

Maybe one of the five families, maybe all of them. Now, with the money they

earn, they can buy more police and political power.

Then they come after us.

Now we have the unions, we have the gambling, and they're the best things to

have. But narcotics is a thing of the future. If we don't get a piece of that

action, we risk everything we have. I mean, not now, but ten years from now.

What's your answer gonna be, Pa?

There. Don Corleone.

I need a man who has powerful friends.

I need a million dollars in cash.

I need Don Corleone, those politicians you carry in your pocket, like so many

nickels and dimes.

What is the interest for my family?

Thirty percent.

In the first year, your rent should be three, four million dollars.

And then it would go up.

Now, what is the interest for the Tattaglia family?

The compliments.

I'll take care of the Tattaglias.

Out of my share.

So, I received 30% for finance, political influence, and legal

protection. That's what you're telling me.

That's right.

Why do you come to me? Why do I deserve this generosity?

If you consider a million dollars in cash, just finance... I

said

that

I would see you because...

I heard that you were a serious man, to be treated with respect.

But, uh, I must say no to you.

And I'll give you my reasons.

It's true, I have a lot of friends in politics.

But they wouldn't be friendly very long if they knew my business was drugs

instead of gambling, which they regard as a...

A harmless vice, but drugs is a dirty business.

It doesn't make any difference to me what a man does for a living, you

understand?

But your business is a little dangerous.

If you're worried about security for your millionaire, the Tattaglias will

guarantee it.

Are you telling me that the Tattaglias guarantee our investment?

I have a sentimental weakness for my children, and I spoil them, as you can

see. They talk when they should listen.

But anyway, I know it's final, and I wish to congratulate you on your new

business. I know you do very well, and good luck to you.

Especially since your interests don't conflict with mine.

Santino. Come here.

What's the matter with you?

I think your brain is going soft from all that comedy you're playing with that

young girl.

Never tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking again.

Go on.

Stop. What is this now? It's a film on Johnny starring in that new film.

Take it away.

Take it over there.

And, um... Tell a little cabrazi to come in.

I'm a little worried about this Salozo fellow.

I want you to find out what he's got under his fingernails, you know?

Go to the, uh, the talias, uh, and, uh...

Make them think that you're not too happy with our family.

Find out what you can.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.

Let your heart be light.

From now on...

for your mother and for sonny and a tie for um freddie and tom higgins got the

reynolds pen what do you want for christmas

Hello? Good afternoon.

It's 3 o'clock. Thank you.

Michael, it's 3 o'clock.

What?

It's 3 o'clock. We have to get up.

Because we have to go to your father's house.

Why do we have to? Because we have to.

You know, if we go to my father's house, we can't push the beds together.

Why not?

Because they're in separate rooms.

Well,

all right, then.

Then we won't go.

We won't tell your father.

Okay. Yeah, we'll get married first, and we'll tell him later.

I can't do that.

Then, Michael, get out of bed.

Let's go tomorrow.

Michael, they're expecting us.

Okay,

get the phone.

What are you going to do?

Just get the phone.

Yes,

may I help you?

Hello, may I please have Orchard 9, 9539, please.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing? You're going to be the long-distance operator for New

Hampshire.

Come on.

Stuck.

Hello?

Hello? This is long-distance calling. I have a collect phone call from Mr.

Michael Corleone.

Um, will you accept the charges? Yes.

Hello, Tom. I'm Mike. How are you? Listen, we're up in New Hampshire still.

We're going to drive down tomorrow morning.

Is there anything I can do for you? No, we're fine.

Now I'm going to see you at Christmas.

Everyone's going out to the mall? Right.

Okay. Right, Mikey. Bye-bye.

It's fine, Tom.

Okay,

Pop.

I'll have to get it myself, Pop.

Paulie called in sick this morning. Huh?

Polly's a good kid. I don't mind getting a car.

Luca, I'm Bruno Tattaglia. I know.

You know who I am?

Come here.

Merry Christmas.

Hey, I'm glad I ran into you.

I want to talk to you. I haven't got time.

Oh, make time, consigliere.

Get in the car.

What are you worried about?

If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already.

I'm gonna buy some fruit. Okay, Pop.

Merry Christmas.

I want some fruit.

Yeah?

You recognize my voice? Yeah, I think so.

Detective squad, right?

Is he dead?

We can't get close enough to find out.

There's blood all over the place.

Look, I'll see what I can do. You find out what you can, you got a grand

coming, all right?

Teresa? Yeah?

Let me talk to Tom, will you?

Not home yet. Why not yet?

Have him call me the minute he gets in.

Mike, would you like me better if I were a nun?

In the story, you know?

No.

Well, then would you like me better if I were Ingrid Bergman?

Now, that's a thought.

Michael. No, I would not like you better if you were Ingrid Berkley.

Michael. What's the matter?

They

don't

say if he's dead or alive.

Sonny, Michael.

Michael, where you been? Is he all right?

We don't know yet. There's all kinds of stories.

Was it bad, Mikey?

Are you there?

Yeah, I'm here.

Where you been? I was worried.

Didn't Tom tell you I called?

Oh, my God.

Sonny!

All right, then.

Open up. It's Lorenzo.

What? There's more news about your old man.

Word is out in the street he's already dead. Shut him up. Shut him up.

Take it easy. Take it easy.

Where was Paulie?

Paulie was out sick. He'd been a little sick all winter.

How many times has he been sick?

Only maybe three, four times. I mean, I asked Freddie. He wants me to get a

different bodyguard. He said no. Give me a favor. Pick him up right now. I don't

care how sick he is. If he's breathing, I want you to bring him to my father's

house. Now, you understand?

Now? Yeah. You want me to send in people over here? No, no, no. Just you and him.

Go ahead.

lot of people.

Ma? Ma, where are you?

Ma,

I just got a phone call, and Papa's been hurt, and I don't know how bad.

I'm gonna go change in case we can see him

Tessio? Hello?

Santino Corleone.

I want 50 good men out of here right away.

All right, sonny, but what about Clemenza's regime?

No, no, I don't want to use Clemenza's people right now, all right? All right.

All right.

Your boss is dead.

I know you're not in the muscle end of the family, Tom, so I don't want you to

be scared.

I want you to help the Corleones.

And I want you to help me.

Yeah, we got him outside his office just about an hour after we picked you up

Drink it

So now it's up to you to make

the peace between me and Sonny Sonny was hot for

my deal wasn't he?

And you knew it was the right thing to do

Sonny will come after you with everything he's got.

That'll be his first reaction, sure.

That's why you gotta talk some sense to him.

The Tattaglia family is behind me with all their people.

The other New York families will go along with anything that'll prevent a

full-scale war.

Let's face it, Tom, I'm all due respect.

The Don, rest in peace, was slipping.

Ten years ago, could I have gotten to him?

Now he's dead.

He's dead, Tom, and nothing can bring him back.

So you got to talk to Sonny.

You got to talk to the copper regimes, that Tessio and that fat Clemenza.

It's good business, Tom.

I'll try.

But even Sonny won't be able to call off Luca Brasi.

Let me worry about Luca.

You just talked to Sonny and the other two kids.

I'll do my best.

Good.

Now you can go.

I'm a businessman.

Blood is a big expense.

Still alive.

They hit him with five shots and he's still alive.

Well, that's bad luck for me.

And bad luck for you if you don't make that deal.

Who are you?

It's the Don's kid.

You take the car. I'll bring him inside.

Your mother's over in the hospital with your father. Looks like he's gonna pull

through, thank God.

Teresa, you hear from Tom yet?

Sonny inside?

Could

be

any one of these. Yeah.

Hey, Teresa.

Sweetheart, don't worry. They're gonna turn Tom loose the minute they get the

proposition. Hello, Michael.

Where were you, where?

Minky, you had me worried when I couldn't get in touch with you. How's Ma

taking it?

She's good. You know she's been through it before.

Me too, you know.

Yeah. Hello. Hey, Tina.

This is Sam from the company.

The number you gave me, you can check that.

Hey, listen, thank you very much. You're gonna have a very, very extra Merry

Christmas, all right? Okay, thanks a lot.

Thank you.

Listen, if you want to wait outside, I got some business I got to finish with

Tessio. Thanks.

What are you doing?

Hey, you hang around here, you're going to hear things you don't want to hear.

Maybe I can help you out.

No, no, you can't. Marron, the old man, will have my neck if I let you get mixed

up in this. Come on.

He's my father, too, Sonny.

You want to hear?

Whose head do we blow off, Clemenza's or Paulie's?

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

One of them set up the old man.

Yeah. Not Clemenza.

I don't believe it. See?

College boy is right. It was Paulie.

That was the contact in the phone company on the three days that Paulie

was home.

Sick. He got these phone calls from the, uh, payphone across from the old man's

building. So it was Paulie. Hey, thank God it was Paulie. That skinny punk.

Well, we need Clemenza back.

Is this gonna be an all-out war like the last time?

Yeah. Until the old man tells me different.

Wait, Sonny.

Talk to Pop. Wait, come on.

Salazzo's a dead man. I don't care what it costs. I mean, we're gonna go after

all them families. The Tattaglias are gonna eat dirt.

That's not how Pop would play. Listen, I'm gonna tell you something, and he'll

tell you too. When it comes to the action, I'm as good as anybody, and

don't forget it.

Tom!

Hey, boy, if I argue against the Supreme Court, I'll never do better than I did

against that Turk tonight.

Give me a minute, will you?

I don't know if Luca sold out with a lot of trouble, believe me.

Has anyone been able to get in touch with Luca?

I've been trying all night. He might be shacked up. Hey, make it do me a favor.

Try him with the broad. He always goes home when he's through.

Welcome.

Your consigliere?

What do we do if the old man dies, God forbid?

If we lose the old man, we lose our political contacts and half our

strength. The other New York families might wind up supporting Salazzo just to

avoid a long, destructive war.

This is almost 1946.

Nobody wants bloodshed in here.

If your father dies, you'll make the deal, sonny.

You know, it's easy for you to say, Tom. He's not your father.

I was as much a son to him as you are Mike.

What is it?

Hey, Paulie, I thought I told you to stay put.

Well, the guy at the gates, they said they got a package.

Yeah? Hey, Tess, you go see what it is.

You want me to hang around? Yeah, hang around. You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Yeah?

Some food in the icebox. You hungry or anything?

No, it's all right. How about a drink? Have a little brandy. That's good to

sweat it out.

All right, sure. Go ahead, baby. That might be a good idea. Yeah, right.

I want you to take care of that son of a bitch right away.

Paulie sold out the old man, that schtrunz.

I don't want to see him again. Make that first thing on your list, understand?

Understood.

Hey, Mickey, tomorrow, you get a couple of guys, you go over to Luca's

apartment, hang around, wait for him to show up. Maybe we shouldn't get Mike

mixed up in this too directly.

Listen, uh, hang around the house on the phone and be a big help, huh?

Try Luke again. Go ahead.

What the hell is this?

That's a Sicilian message.

It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.

Beautiful car.

Yeah, beautiful car.

Stupid Detroit sends it with wooden bumpers.

They're going to deliver the chromium bumpers in a couple of months.

Because of the war.

Hey, the war's over.

I had to wait for over two years for the car to come with stupid wooden bumpers.

22, soft nose load.

Accurate up to five foot.

Today you make your bones on poorly.

You understand everything?

Understood, Mr. Clemenza.

I'm going now. What time are you going to be home tonight? I don't know.

Probably late.

Don't forget the cannoli.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Rocco, sit on the other side.

You've blocked the rearview mirror.

Yeah, son, he's running wild.

He's thinking of going to the mattresses already. We got to find a spot over on

the west side.

You try 309 West 43rd Street.

You know any good spots on the west side?

Yeah, I think about it. Well, think about it while you're driving, will you?

I want to hit New York sometime this month.

And watch out for the kids when you're bagging out.

Yeah, it's good for ten men.

All right, go over to the neighborhood. I gotta call in to Sonny.

You wait here. I call Sonny.

There you are. Thank you very much.

Hey, talk my ear off.

We got to go back to Long Beach. You got another job for us.

What do you think? We're going to get that last place we saw?

I don't know. What do you got to know now?

I don't got to know nothing.

All right, drive the car and watch where you go.

Hey, Paulie, I want you to go down 39th Street, Carlos Santos. You pick up 18

matches for the guys to sleep on. You bring me the bill.

Yeah, all right. They must do a little bit to Bill. No, make sure that they're

clean, because those guys are going to be stuck up in there for a long time,

you know? They're clean. They told me to exterminate them.

Exterminate? That's a bad word to use.

Exterminate. Get this guy.

That's how we don't exterminate you.

He's funny a lot. Hey, Paul, let me get fucking up. You're right. What would you

do? No, me? Nothing. It wasn't me. It's got to be him.

Hey, pull him, will you? I got to take a leak.

Leave the gun.

Take the cannoli.

Hey, Mike.

Hey, Mikey.

Yeah. You wanted on a telephone.

Who is it?

Some girl.

Hello, Kay?

How's your father?

He's good.

He's gonna make it.

Huh?

I love you.

Michael? Yeah, I know.

Tell me you love me.

Yeah, I can't talk.

Can't you say it?

Yeah, I'll see you tonight.

Hey, Mikey.

Why don't you tell that nice girl you love her?

I love you with all my heart. If I don't see you again soon, I'm gonna die.

Come over here, kid. I'll tell you something.

You never know, you might have to cook for 20 guys someday.

You see?

You start out with a little bit of oil. Then you fry some garlic.

Then you throw in some tomatoes, some tomato paste. You fry it. You make sure

it doesn't stick.

You got it to a boil. You shove in all your sausage and your meatballs.

Huh?

Add a little bit of wine.

A little bit of sugar.

And that's my trick. Why don't you cut the crap?

I got more important things for you to do.

How's Paulie?

Oh, Paulie. Won't see him no more.

Where you going?

To the city.

Send some bodyguards with him, all right? No, I'm just going to the

hospital. Never mind. Send somebody with him. Oh, he'll be all right. Saloso

knows he's a civilian.

Be careful, huh?

Yes, sir.

Send somebody with him anyway.

Can I go with you?

No, Kay. There's no detectives there.

People from the press.

You're all right in a cab.

I don't want you to get involved.

When will I see you again?

Go back to New Hampshire.

And I'll call you at your parents' house.

When will I see you again, Michael?

uh

What are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here now.

I'm Michael Corleone.

This is my father.

There's nobody here. What happened to the guards?

Your father just had too many visitors.

They interfered with hospital service.

The police made them leave about ten minutes ago.

Get me a Long Beach 45620, please.

Nurse, wait a minute. Stay here.

Sonny, Michael, I'm at the hospital.

Listen, I got here late. There's nobody here.

Nobody. No Tessio's men, no detectives, nobody.

Papa's all alone.

I won't panic.

I'm sorry, but you will have to leave.

You and I are gonna move my father to another room. Now, can you disconnect

those tubes so we can move the bed out?

That's out of the question.

You know my father.

Men are coming here to kill him.

You understand?

Now help me, please.

Who are you?

I am Enzo.

The baker.

Do you remember me? Enzo?

Yes, Enzo. You better get out of here, Enzo. There's going to be trouble.

If there is trouble, I stand here to help you.

For your father. For your father.

All right.

Listen.

Wait for me outside in front of the hospital.

All right?

I'll be out in a minute. Go ahead.

Okay. Okay.

I'm with you now.

Put your hand in your pocket like you have a gun.

You'll be all right.

You did good.

What the hell are you doing here? What happened to the men who were guarding my

father?

Why, you little punk.

What the hell are you doing telling me my business?

I pulled them guys off of here, huh? Now you get out of here and stay away from

this hospital.

I'm not moving until you put some guards around my father's room.

Phil, take him in.

The kid's clean, Captain.

He's a war hero. He's never been... God damn it, I said take him in.

What's the turd paying you to set up my father, Captain?

Make a hold of him.

Stand him up.

Stand him up straight.

Attorney for the Corleone family.

These men are private detectives hired to protect Vito Corleone.

They're licensed to carry firearms.

If you interfere, you'll have to appear before the judge in the morning and show

cause.

All right, let him go.

What's with all the new faces?

We'll need them now.

After the hospital thing, Sonny got mad.

We hit Bruno Tattaglia at 4 o'clock this morning.

Jesus Christ.

Looks like a fortress around here.

Hey!

A hundred button men on the street 24 hours a day. That Turk shows one hair on

his ass, he's dead. Hey, Michael, come here. Let me look at you.

You look beautiful. It's beautiful.

You're gorgeous.

Hey, listen to this.

The Turk, he wants to talk.

He got you. Imagine a nerve on a son of a bitch.

Crap's out last night. He wants a meeting today.

What did he say? What did he say?

He wants us to send Michael to hear the proposition.

And the promise is that the deal is so good that we can't refuse.

What about Bruno Tartaglia? He's part of the deal.

Bruno cancels out what they did to my father.

Sonny, we ought to hear what they have to say. No. No.

No. No more. Not this time, Consigliere. No more meetings, no more discussions,

no more Salazzo tricks.

You give him one message, I want Solanzo. If not, it's all out war. We go

to the back. Some of the other families won't sit still. They may hand me

Solanzo. Your father wouldn't want to hear this. This is business, not

personal. They shot my father? Even the shooting of your father was business,

not personal, Sonny.

Well, in business, we'll have to suffer, all right? Hey, listen, do me a favor,

Tom. No more advice on how to patch things up. Just help me win, please, all

right?

about this Captain McCluskey who broke Mike's jaw. What about him?

Now, he's definitely on Sollozzo's payroll and for big money.

See?

McCluskey has agreed to be the Turks' bodyguard. What you have to understand,

Sonny, is that while Sollozzo is being guarded like this, he is invulnerable.

Now, nobody has ever gunned down a New York police captain, never.

It would be disastrous.

All the five families would come after you, Sonny. The Corleone family would be

outcast.

Even the old man's political protection would run for cover.

So do me a favor.

Take this into consideration.

All right, wait.

You can't wait.

What? You can't wait.

I don't care what Sollozzo says about a deal. He's gonna kill Pop.

That's it.

That's the key for him.

Gotta get Sollozzo.

Mikey's right.

Let me ask you something, McCluskey. I mean, what about this McCluskey?

Huh? What do we do with this copy?

They want to have a meeting with me, right?

It will be me, McCluskey, and Sollozzo.

Let's set the meeting.

Get our informers to find out where it's going to be held.

Now, we insist it's a public place, a bar, a restaurant, someplace where

there's people so I feel safe.

They're gonna search me when I first meet them, right?

So I can't have a weapon on me then.

But if Clemenza can figure a way to have a weapon planted there for me...

Then I'll kill them both.

Hey, what are you going to do?

Nice college boy, huh?

Didn't want to get mixed up in the family business?

Now you want to gun down a police captain, why? Because he slapped you in

the face a little bit?

Huh? What do you think, this is the army where you shoot them a mile away?

You got to get up close like this, and bada-bing, you blow their brains all

over your nice cyber league suit.

Come here.

You're taking this very personal.

Tom, this is business, and this man is taking it very, very personal.

Where does it say that you can't kill a cop?

Come on, Mikey.

Tom, wait a minute. I'm talking about a cop that's mixed up in drugs.

I'm talking about a dishonest cop, a crooked cop who got mixed up in the

rackets and got what was coming to him.

That's a terrific story.

And we have newspaper people on the payroll, don't we, Tom?

They might like a story like that.

They might. They just might.

It's not personal, Sonny.

It's strictly business.

It's as cold as they come.

Impossible to trace, so you don't worry about prints, Mike.

I put a special tape on the trigger and a butt.

Here, try it.

What's the matter, the trigger too tight?

I don't know, my ears.

Yeah, I left it noisy. That way it scares any pain in the ass innocent

bystanders away.

All right, you shot them both. Now what do you do?

Sit down, finish my dinner.

Come on, kid, don't fool around.

Just let your hands drop to your side and let the gun slip out.

Everybody will still think you got it.

They're going to be staring at your face, Mike.

So walk out of the place real fast, but you don't run.

Don't look nobody directly in the eye, but you don't look away either.

Hey, they're going to be scared stiff of you, believe me, so don't worry about

nothing.

You know, you're going to turn out all right. You take a long vacation, nobody

knows where, and we're going to catch the help.

How bad do you think it's going to be?

Pretty goddamn bad.

Probably all the other families will line up against us.

That's all right. This isn't going to happen every five years or so.

Ten years.

Helps to get rid of the bad blood. Been ten years since the last one.

You know, you gotta stop them at the beginning.

Like they should have stopped Hitler at Munich.

They should never let him get away with that. They was just there for big

trouble.

You know, Mike, we was all proud of you.

Being a hero and all.

Your father, too.

Not a hint.

Absolutely nothing.

Even so lots of us people don't know where the meeting's going to be held.

How much time do we have?

I'll pick you up in front of Jack Dempsey's joint in an hour and a half.

Exactly an hour and a half.

We could put a tail on him, if that turns out.

So lots of us will lose our ass going around the block.

What about the negotiator?

He's over at my place playing pinochle with a couple of my men. He's happy

they're letting him win.

There's too much of a risk for Mike. Maybe we ought to call it off, Sonny.

The negotiator keeps on playing cards until Mike comes back safe and sound. So

why doesn't he just blast whosoever in the goddamn car? It's dangerous.

They'll be looking for that. So Lopso might not even be in the car, Sonny.

I get it.

Louie's restaurant in the Bronx.

Well, is it reliable?

That's my man in McCluskey's precinct.

Police captain's got to be on call 24 hours a day. He signed out at that

number between 8 and 10.

Anybody know this joint?

Yeah, sure, I do.

It's perfect for us. A small family place, good food, everyone minds his

business. It's perfect.

Pete, they got an old-fashioned toilet.

You know, the box and then the chain thing.

We might be able to take the gun behind it.

All right, Mike.

You go to a restaurant, you eat, you talk for a while, you relax.

You make them relax.

Then you get up and you go take a leak.

Or better still, you ask for permission to go.

Then when you come back, you come out blasting. And don't take any chances.

Two shots in the head apiece.

Listen, I want somebody good, and I mean very good, to plant that gun. I don't

want my brother coming out of that toilet with just his dick in his hands,

all right?

The gun will be there.

Listen, you drive him and you pick him up after the job.

Come on, let's move.

Did he tell you to drop the gun right away?

Yeah, a million times.

Now, you don't forget.

Two shots of peace in the head as soon as you come out the door.

How long do you think it'll be before I can come back?

At least a year, Mike.

Listen, I'll square with Mom. You know, you're not seeing her before you leave.

And I'll get a message to that girlfriend when I think the time is

right.

I'm glad you came, Mike.

I hope we can straighten everything out.

This is terrible. It's not the way I wanted things to go at all.

It should have never happened.

I'm gonna straighten everything out tonight.

I don't want my father bothered anymore.

He won't be, Mike. I swear on my children he won't be.

But you gotta keep an open mind when you talk.

I mean, I hope you're not a hothead like your brother Sonny. You can't talk

business with him.

He's a good kid.

I'm sorry about the other night, Mike.

I gotta fresco, so turn around, huh?

On your knees, facing me.

I guess I'm getting too old for my job.

Too grouchy.

Can't stand the aggravation.

You know how it is.

He's clean.

You going to

Jersey?

Maybe.

Nice work, Luke.

How's the Italian food in this restaurant?

Good.

Try the veal. It's the best in the city.

I'll have it.

Come eat.

I'm gonna speak Italian to Mike.

Go ahead.

And no one can understand that I am a man of honor.

You must tell me these things.

I know.

You know?

And you must know

that I helped the Tattaglia family.

What I

want... What's most

important to me...

He said I have a guarantee.

No more attempts on my father's life.

What guarantees can I give you, Mike?

I'm the hunted one.

I missed my chance.

You think too much of me, kid.

I'm not that clever.

All I want is a truce.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Is that all right?

You're gonna go, you're gonna go.

I've freshed him. He's clean.

Don't take too long.

I've freshed a thousand young boys.

Do you feel better?

Yes.

Michelozzo, you understand me, don't you?

You're Italian, like your father.

Your father is sick.

When he says he's better, he doesn't care about anyone.

Let's put everything in place.

This fixation has to be finished.

Come on, let's go.

Yeah, that's very good. Thank you.

And I wish I would see you soon. Love, your grandson Frank.

Oh, thank you, Ben.

Go ahead, go what you want.

Go ahead, take him downstairs.

Shut up and sit and sit.

Since McCluskey's killing, the police have been cracking down on most of our

operations.

And also the other families.

They hit us, so we hit them back.

Through our contacts in the newspapers, we've been able to put out a lot of

material about McCluskey being linked with Salazzo and the drug rackets.

You see, things are starting to loosen up.

Then I sent Enfredo to Las Vegas under the protection of Don Francesco

of L.A. I want him to rest.

I'm going to learn the casino business.

Yeah.

It was Michael who killed Sollozzo.

But he's safe. We're starting to work to bring him back now.

You'll find out what a little pimp Natalya's hiding. I want his ass now,

right now.

Hey, Sonny. What?

Things are starting to loosen up a little bit. If you go after Natalya, all

hell's gonna break loose.

Let the smoke clear. Pop can negotiate. No, Pop can't do nothing till he's

better. I'm going to decide what's going to go down.

All right, but your war's costing us a lot of money. Nothing's coming in. We

can't do business. Well, neither can they. Don't worry about it. They don't

have our overhead.

Please don't worry about it. We can't afford a stalemate. Well, then there

ain't no more stalemate. I'm going to end it by killing that old bastard.

Yeah, you're getting a great reputation.

I hope you're enjoying it. Well, you just do what I tell you to do. God damn

it, if I had a wartime consigliere, I wouldn't be in this shape.

Papa Janko, look what I got.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

Mom made a little dinner. It's Sunday. Hold on.

You know, niggers are having a good time with our policy banks up there in

Harlem, driving them new Cadillacs, paying 50% on a bet.

I knew it was going to happen since they started making big money.

Well, Papa never talked business at the table in front of... Hey, shut up,

Connie Wentz. Don't you ever tell her to shut up. You got that?

Don't interfere.

you know sonny tom i'd like to talk to you maybe after dinner i could be doing

a lot more for the family we don't discuss business at the table

Let's shake hands with Masino.

Michele!

Where have you been, so far from home?

You know I'm responsible for your father's life, right? I'm here,

Fabrizio. It's not enough, it's dangerous.

Our friends from New York have warned Santino.

It seems that your enemies know you're here.

Santino told you when I can come back?

No, it's nothing for now.

We can't talk about it for now. Later, if you want.

Thank you.

Where are you going now?

To Leone.

Why don't we take the car?

I want to go to Camanari.

Hey, why don't you tell us a little about New York?

Hey, take me to the America.

Thank you.

If you need a good little boy in America, take me.

I'll be the best man you can get.

What can you see by the star early night?

I don't know about the men.

They're all dead because of Pendetta.

Here. The names of the dead.

Nudo.

Nudo.

Take me to America, G.I. Clark Apple, hey!

America, America, take me to the America, G.I. Clark Apple, Rita Apple.

But I'm going up the mountain.

It's just a man's fault.

Let me ask you something.

In Sicily, women are like aloe vera.

Principal! I brought wine.

Wine! Bring a bottle of wine and a few glasses.

Let's say goodbye, sir.

Have you had a good hunt?

You all know the carousel of this country.

Until now we haven't met anyone beautiful.

One in particular has hit our common friend.

Eh, ma questa poteva sedurre magari lo diavolo, poteva sedurre. Poteva sedurre

lo diavolo.

Ah, comprendo approssimativamente che cosa vuole dire. Ah, era bella,

bellissima. Ah, calò.

Bellissima. Eh, capitti.

E la bocca?

La bocca.

Ah, in questo paese ci sono belle ragazze.

But virtuous, eh? Yes, but who was she wearing? A dress or maybe a plum color?

Or maybe a more contested plum color?

A more contested plum color. It could be a beauty perhaps more Greek than

Italian. More Greek than Italian.

Do you know her? Do you know her?

No.

There are no such girls in this country.

How many days have I been here?

What do you

want?

I'm a stranger in this country.

And I meant no disrespect to you or your daughter.

I'm an American.

Hiding in Sicily.

My name is Michael Corleone.

There are people who pay a lot of money for that information.

But then your daughter would lose a father.

Instead of gaining a husband.

I want to meet your daughter.

With your permission and under the supervision of your family. With all

respect.

What's your name, Peggy?

Apollonia.

This is my cousin.

This is my cousin.

This is my cousin.

And this is my daughter

Apollonia.

And this is Michele di Corleone.

No, no.

Save it for the library.

Come on, we gotta go pick up my sister and let it go.

What's the matter?

It was my fault!

Where is he? Sonny, please. It was my fault. Sonny, it was my fault. I hit

him. I started a fight with him. Please, Sonny. I hit him so he hit me.

I... Okay, look, I'm just, uh... I'm just gonna get

the doctor to come and take a look at you. Sonny, please don't do anything.

Please don't do it.

Okay.

What's the matter with you? What am I gonna do?

I'm gonna make that baby an orphan before he's born again.

Huh? Hmm?

All right?

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen.

Weren't expecting you, Kay.

You should call.

Yes, well, I have.

I mean, I've tried writing and calling.

Now, I want to reach Michael.

Nobody knows where he is.

We know that he's all right, but that's all.

Uh, what was that?

Well, that's an accident, but nobody was hurt.

Tom, will you give this letter to Michael, please? Please?

Well, if I accepted that...

In a court of law, they could prove that I have knowledge of his whereabouts.

Now, you just be patient, Kay. He'll get in touch with you, all right?

I let my cab go, so can I come in to call another one, please?

Come on. I'm sorry. Come on.

Hello? Hello?

Is Carlo there?

Who's this?

My girlfriend just called. She said she can't make it this evening.

What girlfriend? I don't have a girlfriend.

Can I take a shot at my own house? Oh, Carla, what's the matter? You talked on

the telephone.

What's going on?

Connie, what are you going to start in today? Oh, Carla, what's the matter with

you? You give your whores my telephone number? It's going to be a little too

much. No, where do you think you're going?

I'm going out. You're not going. You're staying home.

Well, then make me something to eat at least, and let me finish washing up,

huh?

Now, come on, get out of here. Go in the kitchen and make me something to eat.

Dinner's ready.

I'm not hungry yet. It's on the table. It's getting cold.

I'll eat out.

But you just told me to make you dinner.

Hey, bafangul, huh?

Leave me alone.

This little guinea brat.

That's it! Break it all, you spoiled guinea brat! Break it all!

Get out of here.

Give me a doc.

My wife is crying upstairs.

I hear cars coming to the house.

I think you should tell your dad what everyone seems to know.

I didn't tell Mama anything.

I was about to come up and wake you just now and tell you.

But you needed a drink first.

Yeah.

And now you've had your drink.

They shot Sonny on the causeway.

He's dead.

I want no inquiries made.

I want no acts of vengeance.

I want you to arrange a meeting with the heads of the five families.

This war stops now.

This is Tom Hagen. I'm calling Rubito Corleone at his request.

Now, you owe your Don a service.

He has no doubt that you will repay it.

He will be at your funeral parlor in one hour. Be there to greet him.

Well, my friend, are you ready to do me the service?

Yes.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to use all your powers and all your skills.

I don't want his mother to see him this way.

Look how they massacred my boy.

I'm not crazy.

I can speak English.

I know English.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Saturday.

Come on, let's go.

Did you know how good I am at driving?

He taught me.

Look, I'll show you.

How's it going?

Young people don't have any respect.

Times are changing. I don't know how it's going to end.

Listen, Michele, after the maritimes, people will know your name, and I don't

think you're safe here. I've made a plan.

I want you to go to a villa near Syracuse.

But you have to go right away.

Right away.

What happened?

Bad news.

From America.

Your brother, Santino.

They killed him.

Fabrizio. Yes.

Prepare the car.

Are you driving it yourself, boss?

Yes. Is your wife coming with you?

No, I want you to take her to her father's house so I know things are

safe. Okay, anything you say, boss.

She will become a good American wife.

Wait, I have to prepare the luggage.

Fabrizio!

Where are you going?

Fabrizio.

Don Bassini, I want to thank you for helping me organize this meeting here

today.

And also the other heads of the five families in New York and New Jersey.

Carmine Cuneo from the Bronx and Brooklyn.

Philip Tattaglia from Staten Island.

We have with us...

Victor Strikey, and all the other associates who came as far as from

California, Kansas City, and all the other territories of the country.

Thank you.

How do things ever get so far?

I don't know.

We're so unfortunate, so unnecessary.

Tattaglia lost a son, and I lost a son.

We're quits.

And if Tattaglia agrees, then I'm willing to let things go on the way they

were before.

We are all grateful to Don Corleone for calling this meeting.

We all know him as a man of his word.

A modest man, he'll always listen to reason.

Yes, Don Barzini.

He's too modest.

He had all the judges and politicians in his pocket.

He refused to share them.

When did I ever refuse an accommodation?

All of you know me here.

When did I ever refuse?

Except one time.

And why?

Because I believe this drug business is going to destroy us if he is to come.

I mean, it's not like gambling or...

liquor, even women, which is something that most people want nowadays, and it's

forbidden to them by the pezzanavanti of the church.

Even the police departments that have helped us in the past with gambling and

other things are going to refuse to help us when it comes to narcotics.

And I believed that then, and I believe that now.

Times have changed.

It's not like the old days, where we can do anything we want.

A refusal is not the act of a friend.

If Don Corleone had all the judges and the politicians in New York, then he

must share them. All he'd have is use them.

He must let us draw the water from the well.

Certainly he can present a bill for such services.

After all, we are not communists.

I also don't believe in drugs.

For years, I paid my people extra so they wouldn't do that kind of business.

Somebody comes to them and says, I have powders. If you put up $3,000, $4,000

investment, we can make $50,000 distributing.

So they can't resist.

I want to control it as a business to keep it respectable.

I don't want it near schools.

I don't want it sold to children.

That's an infamia.

In my city, we would keep the traffic and the dark people, to call it.

They're animals anyway, so let them lose their souls.

I hoped that we could come here and reason together.

And as a reasonable man, I'm willing to do whatever's necessary to find a

peaceful solution to this problem.

Then we are agreed.

The traffic and drugs will be permitted, but controlled.

And Don Corleone will give her protection in the East, and there will

be the peace.

But I must have strict assurance from Corleone.

As time goes by and his position becomes stronger, will he attempt any individual

vendetta? Look, we are all reasonable men here. We don't have to give

assurances as if we were lawyers.

You talk about vengeance.

Is vengeance going to bring your son back to you?

From my boy to me, I forgot the vengeance of my son.

But I have selfish reasons.

My younger son was forced to leave this country because of this

Salonzo business.

All right, I have to make arrangements to bring him back here safely, clear of

all his false charges.

But I'm a superstitious man.

And if some unlucky accident should befall him, if he should get shot in the

head by a police officer, or if he should hang himself in his jail cell, or

if he's struck by a bolt of lightning, then I'm going to blame some of the

people in this room.

And then I do not forgive.

That aside, let me say that I swear

on the souls of my grandchildren that I will not be the

one to break the peace we've made here today.

When I meet with the Tattaglia people, should I insist that all these drug

middlemen have clean records?

Mention it. Don't insist.

Fazzini's a man who'll know that without being told.

You mean Tattaglia?

Tattaglia's a pimp.

He never could have out-fought Santino.

But I didn't know until this day that it was...

Let's see me all

Menace

peppers eight

Thank

you, what about Sonny

What about Cecily?

I swore that I would never break the peace.

But won't they take that as a sign of weakness?

It is a sign of weakness.

You gave your word that you wouldn't break the peace. I didn't give mine.

You don't have to have any partner.

I take all responsibility.

We have a lot of time to talk about it now.

Come on, Nancy.

Keep together, everyone.

Brian?

Okay, all right.

How long have you been back?

Back a year.

Longer than that, I think.

It's good to see you, Kay.

I'm working for my father now, Kay.

He's been sick.

Very sick.

But you're not like him, Michael.

I thought you weren't going to become a man like your father. That's what you

told me.

My father's no different than any other powerful man.

Any man who's responsible for other people.

Like a senator or a president.

You know how naive you sound.

Why? Senators and presidents don't have men killed.

Who's being naive, Kay?

Kay, my father's way of doing things is over. It's finished.

Even he knows that.

I mean, in five years, the Corleone family is going to be completely

legitimate.

Trust me. That's all I can tell you about my business.

Kay.

Michael, why did you come here?

Why?

What do you want from me after all this time without you coming?

Calling and writing.

I came here because I need you.

Because I care for you. Please stop it, Michael. Because I want you to marry me.

It's too late. It's too late.

Please, Kay.

I'll do anything you ask. Anything to make up for what's happened to us.

Because that's important, Kay.

Because what's important is that we have each other.

That we have a life together.

That we have children.

Our children.

Kay, I need you.

And I love you.

Barzini's people chisel my territory and we do nothing about it.

Pretty soon there won't be one place in Brooklyn I can hang my hat on. Just be

patient. I'm not asking you for help, Mike. Just take off the handcuffs.

Be patient.

We gotta protect ourselves.

Give me a chance to recruit some new men. No.

I don't want to give Barzini an excuse to start fighting.

Mike, you're wrong.

Don Corleone, you once said that the day would come when Tessio and me could form

our own family.

Till today, I would never think of it.

I must ask your permission.

Well, Michael is now head of the family, and if he gives his permission, then do

you have my blessing?

After we make the move to Nevada, you can break off from the Corleone family

and go on your own.

After we make the move to Nevada.

How long will that be?

Six months.

Forgive me, Godfather, but with you gone...

Me and Pete will come under Barzini's thumb sooner or later. And I hate that

goddamn Barzini.

In six months' time, there won't be nothing left to build on.

You have faith in my judgment?

Yes. Do I have your loyalty?

Yes, always, Godfather.

Don't be a friend to Michael.

Do as he says.

There are things being negotiated now that are going to solve all your

problems and answer all your questions.

That's all I can tell you now.

Carlo, you grew up in Nevada.

When we make our move there, you're going to be my right-hand man.

Tom Hagen's no longer Consigliere.

He's going to be our lawyer in Vegas.

That's no reflection on Tom, but that's the way I want it.

Besides, if I ever need help, who's a better Consigliere than my father?

Now that's it.

Thank you, Papa.

Michael,

why are you cutting me out of the action?

We're going to be legitimate all the way, Tom. You're the legal man.

What's more important than that?

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about Rocco Lampone building a secret

regime. And why does Neary report directly to you instead of through me or

the couple regimes?

How'd you find that out? Well, Rocco's men are a little too good for their

jobs. I mean, they're getting more money than the job's worth.

I told you this wouldn't escape his eye.

Mike, why am I out?

You're not a wartime consigliere, Tom.

Things may get rough with the move we're trying.

Tom.

I advise, Michael.

I never thought you were a bad consigliere.

I thought...

Santino is a bad Don, rest in peace.

Michael has all my confidence, as you do.

But there are reasons why he must have no part in what is going to happen.

Maybe I could help.

You're out, Tom.

I want to be alone with my father.

I think he'll find your Luca Brasi.

I'll need him.

I can't get over the way your face looks.

It really looks good.

This doctor did some job. We'll talk into it, okay?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, wait, hey.

Leave them out here. We'll deal with them later.

He's tired. He wants to clean up. All right, now, let me open the door, all

right?

Hello, Mike.

Welcome to Las Vegas.

All for you, kid.

All his idea, right? Your brother, Freddy.

Girls here.

Fredo.

I'll be right back. You keep them occupied.

Anything you want, kid. Anything.

Who are the girls?

That's for you to find out.

Get rid of them, Fredo.

Fredo, I'm here on business. I leave tomorrow and I get rid of them.

I'm tired.

Get rid of the band, too.

Hey,

let's take off. Come on. Take off.

Let's go. Come on. Hey, that's it. Hey, Angelo. That's it. Quiet.

Come on. Let's go.

Hey, come on!

Scram!

Come on, honey. Let's go. Come on. I don't know, Johnny.

I don't know what the hell's the matter with him. I'm sorry.

It's all right. It's all right, Freddy. Come on, Angelo.

I don't know. He's tired. He's...

What happened to Mo Green?

He said he had some business.

He said give him a call when the party started.

Well, give him a call.

Johnny, how are you? Hello, Mike. Nice to see you again.

We're all proud of you.

Thanks, Mike.

Sit down, Johnny. I want to talk to you.

The Don's proud of you, too, Johnny. Well, I, uh, owe it all to him.

Well, he knows how grateful you are.

That's why he'd like to ask a favor of you.

Mike, what can I do?

The Corleone family is thinking of giving up all its interest in the olive

oil business, settling out here.

Now, Mo Green will sell us his share of the casino and the hotel so it could be

completely owned by the family.

Tom? Hey, Mike, are you sure about that?

Mo loves the business. He never said nothing to me about selling.

Well, I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.

See, Johnny, you see, we figure that entertainment will be a big factor in

drawing gamblers at the casino.

And we hope you'll sign a contract to appear five times a year.

Perhaps convince some of your friends in the movies to do the same.

We're counting on you.

Sure, Mike.

I'll do anything for my godfather. You know that.

Good.

Hey, Mike.

Hello, fellas. Everybody's here. Freddy, Tom.

Good to see you, Mike.

How are you, Mo? All right. You got everything you want? The chef cooked for

you special, the dancers will kick your tongue out, and your credit is good.

Drug chips for everybody in the room so they can play in the house.

Well, my credit good enough to buy you out?

Buy me out?

The casino, the hotel.

Corleone family wants to buy you out.

The Corleone family wants to buy me out?

No. I buy you out. You don't buy me out.

Your casino loses money.

Maybe we can do better.

You think I'm skimming off the top, Mike?

You're unlucky.

You goddamn guineas really make me laugh.

I do you a favor and take Freddy in when you're having a bad time, and then you

try to push me out. Wait a minute.

You took Freddy in because the Corleone family bankrolled your casino because

the Molinari family on the coast... Guaranteed his safety. Now, we're

talking business.

Let's talk business. Yeah, let's talk business, Mike.

First of all, you're all done. The Coyote family don't even have that kind

of muscle anymore.

The Godfather is sick, right?

You're getting chased out of New York by Barzini and the other families.

What do you think is going on here? You think you can come to my hotel and take

over? I talked to Barzini.

I can make a deal with him and still keep my hotel.

Is that why you slapped my brother around in public?

Oh, no, that was nothing, Mike. Now, uh...

Now, Mo didn't mean nothing by that.

Sure, he flies off the handle once in a while, but Mo and me were good friends,

right, Mo, huh? I got a business to run.

I gotta kick asses sometimes to make it run right.

We had a little argument, Freddie and I, so I had to straighten him out.

You straightened my brother out?

He was banging cocktail waitresses two at a time. Players couldn't get a drink

at the table.

What's wrong with you?

I leave for New York tomorrow.

Think about a price.

Tom, do you know who I am? I'm Moe Green.

I made my bones when you were going out with cheerleaders. Wait a minute, Moe.

Moe, I get an idea.

Tom,

Tom, you're the conciliary, and you can talk to the Don, you can explain... Just

a minute.

The Don is semi-retired, and Mike is in charge of the family business now.

If you have anything to say, say it to Michael.

You don't come to Las Vegas and talk to a man like Mo Green like that!

Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you.

But don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again.

Ever.

I have to see my father and his people.

So have been without me.

Oh, Michael.

This weekend, we'll go out. We'll go to the city, we'll see a show, and we'll

have been out.

Okay.

Oh, Michael.

Michael, your sister wants to ask you something.

Well, let her ask. No, she's afraid to.

Connie and Carla want you to be godfather to their little boy.

Oh, we'll see.

Let me think about it. We'll see. Come on.

Bartini will move against you first.

He'll set up a meeting with someone that you absolutely trust.

Guaranteeing your safety.

And at that meeting, you'll be assassinated.

I like to drink wine more than I used to.

Anyway, I'm drinking more.

It's good for you, Pop.

Your wife and children, are you happy with them?

Very happy.

That's good.

I hope you don't mind the way I keep going over this Barsini business.

No, not at all.

It's an old habit.

I spend my life trying not to be careless.

Women and children can be careless, but not men.

How's your boy?

He's good.

You know, he looks more like you every day.

He's smarter than I am.

Three years old, he can read the funny papers.

Read the funny papers.

I want you to arrange to have a telephone man.

Check all the calls that go...

I did it already, Pop. I took care of that.

Oh, that's right.

I forgot.

What's the matter?

What's bothering you?

I'll handle it.

I told you I can handle it. I'll handle it.

I knew that Santino was going to have to go through all this.

And Fredo... Fredo was...

I never wanted this for you.

I worked my whole life. I don't apologize to take care of my family.

And I refused to be a fool.

Dancing on the string held by all those...

Big shots.

I don't apologize. That's my life, but I thought that... But when it was your

time, that... That you would be the one to hold the strings.

Senator Corleone.

Governor Corleone. Something.

I'm not a Pesce Novanta.

This wasn't enough time, Michael.

Wasn't enough time.

We'll get there, Pop.

We'll get there.

Now listen,

whoever comes to you with this Barzini meeting, he's a traitor.

Don't forget that.

Over here.

Over here.

Be careful.

You're spilling it. You're spilling it.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Boo! Boo!

Boo! Boo!

Mike, can I have a minute?

Berzini wants to arrange a meeting.

He says we can straighten any of our problems out.

You talk to him?

Yeah.

I can arrange security.

On my territory.

You know how they're going to come at you?

They're arranging a meeting in Brooklyn.

Tessio's ground.

Where I'll be safe.

I always thought it would have been Clemenza, not Tessie.

It's the smart move.

Tessie was always smarter.

But I'm gonna wait.

After the baptism.

I've decided to be godfather to Connie's baby.

And then I'll meet with Don Bozzini.

And Tattaglia.

All the heads of the five families.

Amen.

Amen. Amen.

Oremos omnipotence in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy

Spirit. Amen.

May the remission of all sinners be with you. This is the line of Christ, but I

salute you in the name of Christ Jesus, our Lord, for the eternal life. Amen.

I salute you in the name of Christ Jesus, our Lord, for the eternal life.

Amen.

Believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Church, the Catholic, the Sanctuary, the

Communion, the Remission of the Sinner, the Recompense, the Resurrection, and

the Eternal Life. Believe.

Exorcise the world of spirits in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and

of the Holy Spirit. For exorcise the flesh of the Father, and of the Son, and

of the Holy Spirit, and of the Holy Spirit.

Michael,

do you believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth?

I do.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord?

I do.

Do you believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church?

I do.

Let your kingdom come, and let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive

those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Michael, enter the temple of God, as you did with Christ in eternal life.

Amen. I believe in God, the Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Michael Francis Rizzi, do you renounce Satan?

I do renounce him.

And all his works?

I do renounce them.

And all his palms?

I do renounce them.

Will you be baptized?

I will.

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Michael Rizzi, go in peace, and may the Lord be with you.

Amen.

Thank you.

Something's come up.

Everybody's going to have to leave without us. Oh, Mike, it's our first

vacation. Hey, Connie, please.

What do you want to do? Go back to the house, wait for my call. It's important.

I'll only be a couple of days.

Come on.

Not the bed. Not the bed. Connie, come on.

We're on our way to Brooklyn.

I hope Mike can get us a good deal tonight.

I'm sure he will.

Sal, Tom, the boss says we'll come in a separate car. He says for you two to go

on ahead.

Hell, he can't do that. It screws up all my arrangements.

Well, that's what he said. I can't go either, Sal.

like it was only business.

I always liked him.

He understands that. Excuse me, Sal.

Tom, can you

get me off the hook?

For old time's sake.

Can't do it, Sally.

You have to answer for Santino, Carlo.

Mike, you got it all wrong.

Your finger's sunny for the Barzini people.

Ah, that little farce you played with my sister.

You think that could fool the Corleone?

Mike, I'm innocent.

I swear on the kids.

Please, Mike, don't do this to me.

Marzini's dead.

So is Philip Tattaglia.

Mo Green.

Stracci.

Cuneo.

Today I settle all family business, so don't tell me you're innocent, Carlo.

Admit what you did.

Get him a drink.

Don't be afraid, Carlo.

Come on, you think I make my sister a widow?

I'm godfather to your son, Carlo.

Go ahead, drink.

Drink.

No, Carlo, you're out of the family business. That's your punishment.

You're finished.

I'm putting you on a plane to Vegas.

Tom.

I want you to stay there.

You understand?

Uh-huh.

Only don't tell me you're innocent.

Because it insults my intelligence.

It makes me very angry.

Now, who approached you?

Tattaglia or Barzini?

Good. There's a car waiting for you outside.

Take it to the airport.

I'll call your wife. Tell her what the match are.

Please come. Get out of my sight.

Hello, Carla.

You lousy bastard.

You killed my husband.

You waited until Papa died so nobody could stop you, and then you killed him.

You blamed him for Sonny. You always did. Everybody did.

But you never thought about me. You never gave a damn about me.

Now what am I gonna do?

Connie.

Why do you think he kept Carlo at the mall?

All the time he knew he was gonna kill him.

And you stood godfather to our baby.

You lousy, cold-hearted bastard.

I don't know how many men he had killed with the collar. Read the papers! Read

the papers! That's your husband!

That's your husband!

She's hysterical.

Hysterical.

Michael, is it true?

Don't ask me about my business, Kate.

Is it true?

Don't ask me about my business. No!

This one time.

This one time I'll let you ask me about my affairs.

I guess we both need a drink, huh?

That Corleone.

Amen.

Amen. Amen.

Amen.

Do something exciting here. That's good.

Use your big chance, Dave. Well,

I don't care if you are my husband. Keep your greasy

hands off of me.

And I will not shut my mouth. Honey, come on, wait a minute.

Let's take a drive, huh? I always had a drive.

I don't want him to see you in this condition. Would you park this thing,

please? Come on, honey, please. Just let me listen to you for one minute.

Uh-huh.

Ow! Ow!

Ow!

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Ow! Ow!

You listen to me.

You listen to me.

Michael's got a lot of nice people here.

They're friends of Kay's.

If you ruin this party, I'll never let it down.

Oh, yeah?

How come you're so scared of your own kid brother anyway?

Because he's the head of the family.

Look who's here.

Oh, Father Carmelo. This is Father Carmelo, our family priest.

Mama!

Here I am.

After one week?

I sent the car out to the airport last week to pick you up.

It was chaos.

Anyway, here I am, just one week late.

And this is for my mama.

Who's this? You remember Merle, don't you? Hello, Mama.

Hello. How are you? Thank you.

Where's Michael? I got to talk to him and get a few things straight, and I

can't wait on line.

You go see your children first, and then you worry about waiting on line to see

your brother, like everybody else.

Waiter, you got a glass of red wine?

I'm sorry, only champagne and cocktails.

A cold beer for my throat. I'm very dry.

I'll try it. Hey, Frank, you have some water. Over here.

Fredo! Fredo! You son of a gun! You look great!

Frank Pentangeli.

I thought you was never coming out west, you big bum.

I gotta check on my boys, huh?

Hey, Fredo.

Hey, what's with the food around here?

What's the matter? Kid comes up to me in a white jacket, gives me a Ritz cracker

and a chopped liver. He says, can of peas.

I said, can of peas, my eye.

That's a Ritz cracker and chopped liver.

He goes, hey, what?

Bring out the peppers and sausages.

Oh,

seeing you reminds me of New York, the old days, huh?

Hey, Fredo, you remember Willie Chichi when he was an old man, Clemenza in

Brooklyn?

We were all upset about that, Frankie.

Heart attack, huh? No, no, there was no heart attack.

That's what I'm here to see your brother Mike about.

But what's with him?

I mean, what do I got to do? Do I have to get a letter of introduction to get

us to know him?

You can't get in to see Mike?

He's got me waiting in the lobby.

Michael, this is Gardner Shaw.

Francesca and he have been seeing each other for six months now.

Gardner, this is Francesca's Uncle Michael.

How do you do, sir?

I've heard a lot about you and Mr. Corleone.

They would like to set an engagement date.

I was thinking that perhaps two months... Let them... Let them talk for

themselves.

Why don't you sit down?

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Francesca, how are you?

Fine. Thank you, Uncle Michael.

What do you want to tell me?

Well, uh, Uncle Michael, we love each other very much.

And we want to be married.

I came to ask for your blessing.

Hey, Mike, guess who's here? Not now, Freddy.

All right, uh, tell Michael Frankie Five Angels is outside, all right?

I'll tell him. What's going on?

See Gardner.

Francesca is my oldest brother's daughter.

And my brother Sonny died many years ago.

And I guess I've been sort of a father to her rather than an uncle.

I love her very much. So do I.

Well, I appreciate your coming here before you went ahead with your plans.

Shows you're a considerate man.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

You go to college?

Yes, sir, I do.

What do you study there? Fine arts.

How do you plan to support your new wife on fine arts?

That's a good question.

Well, I'm sorry, I just get embarrassed to say it, sir, but I'm a major

stockholder in the family corporation.

You shouldn't be embarrassed by your wealth.

This contempt for money is just another trick of the rich to keep the poor

without it.

Well, what can I say after that?

Of course. You have my blessing.

Thank you.

I'm so happy for you. Don't you worry. You're gonna be next.

Congratulations. Thank you, sir.

You know, you might consider taking a course in business administration, just

to be on the safe side.

Thank you.

Make sure her dowry is big.

He comes from a family who think Italian brides go barefoot.

Hey! And King!

Oh, Uncle Michael is the most wonderful man ever.

His name is Fred Vincent.

Runs a small pizza parlor up in Buffalo.

American wife, two small kids.

We traced him back.

Found that he's in this country illegally from Sicily.

Came over around 1956.

Sponsored by the Barzini family.

30 professional musicians.

There isn't one Italian in the group here. Come on, let's have a car and

dance. Come on.

I'll see my sister alone.

It concerns me too.

Is it okay if I stay?

How are you, honey?

You met Merle. He was with me in Vegas.

I saw him with him.

Could I have a drink or something?

Okay, boy.

Al, would you please get him a drink?

We're going to Europe next week. I'd like to have a passage on the Queen.

So what do you come to me for? Why don't you go to a travel agent?

We're getting married first.

The ink on your divorce isn't dry yet and you're getting married?

You see your children on weekends?

You know your oldest boy, Victor, was picked up in Reno for some petty theft

you don't even know about? Michael!

You fly around the world with men who don't care for you and use you like a

whore? You're not my father! What do you come to me for? I need money.

I want

to be reasonable.

Why don't you stay here with us, with the family?

You can live here on the estate with your kids.

You won't be deprived of anything. You can have everything you want.

I don't know this Merle. I don't know what he does.

I don't know what he lives on.

Why don't you tell him marriage is out of the question and you don't want to

see him anymore?

He'll understand. Believe me.

If you don't listen to me and marry this man,

you'll disappoint me.

Johnny Ola.

Al Nearing.

Yeah.

I've been at Eden, Michael.

Do you know my lawyer, Tom Hagen? Johnny Ola? Sure.

I remember Tom from the old days.

Michael.

What's this?

It's an orange from Miami.

Why don't you take care of Johnny's men? They look like they might be hungry.

Johnny?

Tom isn't gonna sit in with us, Johnny. He only handles specific areas of the

family business. Tom?

Sure, Mike.

What are you drinking, Johnny?

Anisette.

Anisette.

If you need anything, Mike, I'll be outside, all right?

Just tell Rocco we're waiting, Tom.

I just left Mr.

Roth in Miami.

How's his health?

Eh, it's not good.

Is there anything I can do? Anything I can send?

He appreciates your concern, Michael.

And your respect.

The casino you're interested in?

The registered owners are Jacob Lawrence, Alan Barkley, both Beverly

Hills attorneys.

The real owners are the old Lakeville Road group from Cleveland and our friend

in Miami.

Meyer Klingman runs a store.

He owns a piece of it, too. He does all right.

But I've been instructed to tell you that if you move Klingman out, our

friend in Miami will go along.

That's very kind of him.

You tell him. That's greatly appreciated.

Hyman Roth always makes money for his partners.

One by one, our old friends are gone.

Death...

natural or not, prison, deported.

Hyman Roth is the only one left because he always made money for his partners.

Ladies and gentlemen, a most distinguished guest would like to say a

few words.

Would you please welcome Senator Pat Geary of the state of Nevada.

And there is Mrs. Geary.

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

And this is a very, very happy day.

For me and my wife, Mrs. Geary, we see Nevada far too seldom,

but particularly today when we can join with old friends, we can make new

friends, and we help celebrate a young man's first communion.

And also to thank that boy's family for a magnificent contribution to the state.

I have here in my hand a check made out to the university.

And it is a magnificent endowment in the name of Anthony

Vito Corleone.

And the check is signed by that young man's parents, whom I think we should

recognize.

Mike, Pat, or Kay, stand up, please.

Stand up, let the folks see you. Folks, I want you to join with me in giving a

real Nevada thank you to this great Indian title, Corleone.

We also have as a special added attraction the Sierra Boys Choir who

have chosen a certain special song and a special arrangement to honor their

host, Mr. Michael Corleone.

He's the one who arranged this whole thing for your man Turnbull.

Yes, yes.

I was under the impression that you and I would talk alone.

I trust these men with my life, Senator.

If I would ask them to leave, it would be an insult.

Well, it's perfectly all right with me, but I should tell you that I am a blunt

man, and I intend to speak very frankly to you.

Maybe... more frankly than anyone in my position has ever talked to you before.

The Carlion family has done very well here in Nevada.

You own or you patrol two major hotels in Vegas, one in Reno.

The licenses were grandfathered in, so there was no problem with the gaming

commission.

Now, my sources tell me that you plan to make a move against the Tropicana.

They tell me that within a week, you're going to move Clingman out.

That's quite an expansion.

However, it will leave you with one little technical problem.

The license will still be in Clingman's name.

Turnbull is a good man.

Yeah, well, let's cut out the bullshit. I don't want to spend any more time here

than I have to.

You're going to have the license.

Price is $250,000, plus a monthly payment of 5% of the gross.

Of all four hotels, Mr.

Corleone.

Now, the price for the license is less than $20,000, am I right?

That's right.

Now, why would I ever consider paying more than that?

Because I intend to squeeze you.

I don't like your kind of people.

I don't like to see you come out to this clean country in your oily hair, dressed

up in those silk suits, and try to pass yourselves off as decent Americans.

I'll do business with you, but the fact is that I despise your masquerade, the

dishonest way you pose yourself, yourself and your whole fucking family.

We're both part of the same hypocrisy.

But never think it applies to my family.

All right, all right.

Some people have to play little games.

You play yours.

So let's just say that you'll pay me because it's in your interest to pay me.

But I want your answer and the money by noon tomorrow.

And one more thing.

Don't you contact me again, ever.

From now on, you deal with Turnbull.

Open that door, son.

Senator, you can have my answer now, if you like.

My offer is this.

Nothing.

Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would

put up personally.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Ladies, I didn't know you were out here. Honey, we have to go. We're 30 minutes

late. Oh, really? I'm sorry. Mrs. Corleone has been a delightful party.

Oh, no. Thank you very much. Oh, it's been our pleasure. Thank you so much. It

was wonderful talking to you.

It means a hundred years.

It means we should all live happily for a hundred years. Live family.

It would be true if my father were alive.

Charlie.

Merle, you've met my sister-in-law, Deanna.

Rado's wife. My pleasure.

How do you do? My pleasure.

Mr.

Bentangeli, you were talking to Anthony today, right?

We talked in Sicily.

It was a one-sided conversation.

I see.

He's a little boy.

I just want to dance.

Dancing is one thing. You're falling all over the floor.

Oh, I know what's the matter with you.

You're just jealous because he's a real man.

I swear to God, Deanna, I'm going to belt you right in the teeth.

Oh, you couldn't belt your mama.

You know something?

These daggers are crazy when it comes to their wives. Michael says that if you

can't take care of this, I have to.

I think you better.

I can't control him, Mikey.

You're my brother, Fredo. You don't have to apologize to me.

Clemenza promised the Rosado brothers three territories in the Bronx after he

died. You took over, and you didn't give it to them. I welched. You welched.

Yeah, Clemenza promised them who got this.

Clemenza promised them nothing.

He hated those son of a bitches more than I did.

Frankie, they feel cheated.

Michael. And you're sitting high up in the Sierra Mountains, and you're

drinking, uh, what's he drinking?

Champagne. Champagne, champagne cocktails.

And you're passing judgment on how I run my family.

You're a good old man.

I like you.

And you were loyal to my father for years.

There was not a better to taking hostages.

And Mike, they spit right in my face.

All because they're backed up by that Jew in Miami. I know.

That's why I don't want him touched.

You don't want him touched? No.

I want you to be fair with him.

You want me to be fair with him?

Tom! How can you be fair to animals?

Tom, for Christ's sakes.

Listen, they recruit spits.

They recruit niggas.

They do violence in their grandmother's neighborhoods.

And I tell you, everything with them is whores.

Whores! And I'll pop out in your junk! Go!

And they leave the gambling to last.

I want to earn my family without you on my back.

And I want those Rosado brothers dead. No.

Mort.

If you have business that's important with Hyman Roth, I don't want it

disturbed.

Then you give your loyalty to a Jew before your own blood.

Come on, Frankie. You know my father did business with Hyman Roth.

He respected him.

Your father did business with Hyman Roth?

Your father respected Hyman Roth?

But your father never trusted Hyman Roth or his Sicilian messenger boy, Gianni

Ola?

And I want everybody here to know

there's not gonna be no trouble for me.

You

want

him to leave now?

Let him go back to New York.

I've already made my plans.

The old man had too much wine.

It's late.

I give you a thousand.

I don't want to embarrass you.

Put that in your pocket. You hide it under your pillow. Don't tell no one.

Look, angel face. You got a face to run.

I got children, too.

I love you.

Make me sad. Now, go ahead. Come on. Go up there.

How's the baby?

Sleeping inside me.

Does it feel like a boy?

Yes. Yes, it does, Michael.

Kay. Hmm?

I'm sorry about all the people today.

Bad timing.

It couldn't be helped, though.

It made me think of what you once told me.

In five years, the Corleone family will be completely legitimate.

That was seven years ago.

I know.

I'm trying, darling.

Who's asking?

Where can we talk?

Right here.

I represent the interests of the Corleone family.

We're making the invitation to you to top your fares.

Be out of the hotel by Monday morning.

Who do you think you're talking to?

You said your name was Klingman. You can't come in here and talk to an owner

like that.

You missed my point.

You're no longer an owner.

Get out of my hotel.

Boys, get him out of my hotel.

Get him out.

I'll clear out.

Okay, keep it going.

Smiley, can you hear me? Keep it going.

Did you see this?

Mm-hmm.

Michael, why are the drapes open?

Okay, you're right.

We hit it.

Good job, good job.

They're still on the property.

Please, Michael, please stay inside.

Keep them alive.

We'll try.

Michael! Alive!

Stay by the door.

Yeah, I could.

Mikey, you all right?

Yeah. Yeah?

There's a lot I can't tell you, Doug.

I know that's upset you in the past.

Yeah. Yeah, I'll say.

You felt it was because of some lack of trust or confidence.

It's because I admire you and I love you that I kept things secret from you.

That's why at this moment, you're the only one I can completely trust.

Fredo, he's got a good heart, but he's weak.

I always wanted to be thought of as a brother by you, Mikey, a real brother.

You're gonna take over.

You're gonna be the doubt.

If what I think has happened has happened, I'm gonna leave here tonight.

I give you complete power, Tom, over Fredo and his men, Rocco, Neary,

everyone.

I'm trusting you with the lives of my wife and my children, the future of this

family.

If we catch these guys, do you think we'll be able to find out who's back of

all this? We're not going to catch them.

Unless I'm very wrong, they're dead already.

killed by somebody close to us.

Inside.

Very, very frightened. They botched it.

But your people in Rockwell and near you, they had something to do with this.

You see, all our people are businessmen.

Their loyalty is based on that.

was to try to think as people around you think.

Now, on that basis, anything's possible.

There's two of them.

Looks like they were hired out of New York. I don't recognize them.

We won't get anything out of them now. Look, look.

Fish them out.

All right, get rid of the bodies.

Where's Mike?

Rocco?

Did you like your party?

I got lots of presents.

I know.

Did you like them?

I didn't know the people who gave them to me.

No, no. They were friends.

Did you see my present for you?

It was on my pillow.

Anthony, I'm going to be leaving very early tomorrow.

Will you take me?

Where do you have to go?

I have to do business.

I could help you.

It's all right. Come on.

Hyman's in there.

I was just making some lunch. Would you like a tuna sandwich?

No, thank you.

Mr.

Roth?

Come in, Michael.

Sit down. Make yourself comfortable.

It's almost over.

You follow the football game?

Not for a while yet.

I enjoy watching football in the afternoon.

One of the things I love about this country.

Baseball, too.

I love baseball ever since Arnold Rothstein fixed the World Series in

1990.

I heard you had some trouble.

Stupid.

People behaving like that with guns.

The important thing is you're all right.

Good health, the most important thing.

More than success, more than money.

More than power.

I came here because there's gonna be more bloodshed.

I want you to know about it before it happens, so that there's no danger of

starting another war.

Nobody wants another war.

Frank Pantangeli came to my home, and he asked my permission to get rid of the

Risotto brothers.

When I refused, he tried to have me killed.

He was stupid. I was lucky. I'll visit him soon.

The important thing is that nothing interfere with our plans for the future,

yours and mine. Nothing is more important.

You're a wise and considerate young man.

And you're a great man, Mr. Walsh.

There's much I can learn from you.

Whatever I can do to help, Michael.

Excuse me.

Come in.

It's okay.

Honey, man, you're gonna break my eardrum.

Okay, enjoy it. Thanks.

You're young, I'm old and sick.

What we'll do together in the next few months, we'll make history, Mark.

History. It's never been done before.

Not even your father would dream that such a thing could be possible.

And Pentangeli is a dead man.

You don't object?

He's small potatoes.

What's up?

We got company, huh?

What's going on?

Michele's with Leone. What?

Michele's with Leone?

Where is he? In the studio.

Don't make me wait.

He's been waiting for half an hour.

Is there something wrong with me?

I wish you would have let me know you were coming. I could have prepared

something for you.

I didn't want you to know I was coming.

You heard what happened in my home?

Mike, I almost died myself. It was all so relieved. In my home!

In my bedroom where my wife sleeps!

Where my children come and play with their toys?

In my home.

I want you to help me take my revenge.

Michael, anything.

What can I do?

Settle these troubles with the Rosano brothers.

Mike, I don't understand.

I don't... Look, I don't have your brain for big deals, but this is a street

thing. That Hyman Roth in Miami, that... He's backing up those son of a bitches.

I know he is.

Then why?

Why do you ask me to lay down to him, Mike?

It was Hyman Roth that tried to have me killed.

I know it was him.

Jesus Christ, Mike.

Jesus Christ. Now, look, let's get them all. Let's hit them all now while we got

the muscle.

This used to be my father's old study.

It's changed.

I remember there used to be a big desk.

I remember when I was a kid, Frankie, we had to be very quiet when we played in

here.

I was very happy that this house never went to strangers.

First Clemenza took it over, now you.

My father taught me many things here.

He taught me in this room.

He taught me, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

Now, if Hyman Roth sees that I interceded in this thing, in the Rosado

brothers' favor, he's going to think his relationship with me is still good.

Rabit.

Rabit.

That's what I want him to think.

I want him completely relaxed and confident in our friendship.

Then I'll be able to find out who the traitor in my family was.

Yeah? Fredo, this is Johnny.

Johnny Ola, we need some more help.

Johnny?

Jesus Christ, what the hell time is it?

Who's that, honey? Shh.

Listen good, Fredo.

What are you calling me here for?

I don't want to talk to you.

Santangeli set up a meeting with the Rosado brothers.

He says he's going to go for their deal. Oh, God.

Will he come along? I don't know anything.

You got me in deep enough already.

Just go.

You guys lied to me.

I don't want you to call me anymore.

Your brother's not going to find out we talked.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Who's there?

Wrong number.

I got nobody here.

Wait in the car, Chitch.

Frankie. It's okay, Chitch.

What's this?

It's a lucky C-note for our new deal.

Richie, give us a taste.

We're all real happy about your decision, Frankie.

You're not going to regret it.

I don't like to see no risotto.

I take that as an insult.

Michael, go home. He says hello.

What the... Hey, Rich.

It's dark in here.

How do you open a club?

Hey, I just come in to clean up a little, you know?

What's the matter?

Is that something on the floor?

Carmine, no, no, not here, not here. Anthony!

Come on!

You open your fucking...

I'm sorry, Mrs. Corleone. We're not to let you through.

I'm just going to the market.

Well, if you just give us a list, we'll pick up anything you want.

Whose orders are these?

Mr. Hagin's, ma'am. He's coming over now.

All right, well, I'm just going to have to speak to Mr. Hagin.

I wanted to explain this, but I had business in Carson City.

Now, this is Michael's request for your safety.

Now, we can send out for anything that you need.

I see. I'm supposed to stay in my house.

No, within the compound will be fine.

Tom, I was going to take the children to New England next week. That's off, ma

'am. Am I a prisoner? Is that it?

It's not the way we look at it, Kay. All right. Come on, kids. We're going back

to the house.

Joe?

Good to see you.

Where is he?

He's okay.

He's in the back.

Come on, girls. Take a hike, huh?

In this room here.

I want to talk to the little first.

Come on, huh?

I thought I could help you, Senator.

Hagan?

Listen, Hagan, I did not... No, it's all right.

I didn't do anything.

It's okay.

You're very lucky.

My brother Freddo operates this place.

He was called before anyone.

Now, if this had happened someplace else, we couldn't have helped you.

When I woke up, I was in the floor.

And I don't know how it happened.

You can't remember?

I passed out.

I'll fix it.

Jesus, Jesus.

Jesus, God.

Oh God.

I don't know.

And I don't understand why I can't remember.

You don't have to remember. Just do as I say.

They're putting a call into your office.

Explain that you'll be there tomorrow afternoon.

You decided to spend the night at Michael Corleone's house in Tahoe as his

guest.

I do remember she was laughing.

We'd done it before.

And I know that I could not have hurt that girl.

This girl has no family.

Nobody knows that she worked here.

It'll be as though she never existed.

All that's left is our friendship.

La reina eres tu.

La palma en el bosque se me sentí.

Fue yo a tu dios y empezó de la vida al morir de la

tarde. Te desperté.

Fue cosa gran.

Thank you.

Most respected gentlemen,

allow me to welcome you to the city of Havana.

I want to thank this distinguished group of American

industrialists for continuing to work with Cuba for

the greatest period of prosperity in her entire history.

Mr. William Shaw, representing the General Fruit Company,

of United Telephone and Telegraph Company.

Mr. Petty, Regional Vice President of the Pan American Mining Corporation.

Mr. Robert Allen of South American Sugar.

And Mr.

Michael Corleone of Nevada.

Representing our Associates in Tourism and Leisure Activities.

And my old friend and associate from Florida.

Mr. Hyman Roll.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank United Telephone and Telegraph for

their lovely Christmas cake.

Solid gold telephone.

Perhaps you gentlemen would like to take a look at it.

Mr. President. Yes.

Perhaps you would discuss the status of rebel activity and what this can mean to

our businesses.

Of course.

I want to assure you that although the rebels have mounted an impressive

campaign in Las Villas,

My staff indicates with assurance that we'll drive them out of the city of

Santa Clara before the new year.

And I want to put you all at ease.

We will tolerate no gorillas in the casinos or the swimming pools.

He says that they're making an arrest and in a few minutes he'll hand us

through.

I hope my age is correct.

I'm always accurate about my age.

Make sure that everybody sees the cake before we cut it.

I'm very pleased you're all able to come from such distances to be with me today.

When a man comes to this point in his life, he wants to turn over the things

he's been blessed with.

turned him over to friends as a reward for the friends he's had and to

make sure that everything goes well after he's gone.

Not for years.

Well,

we'll see. The doctors would disagree, but what do they know?

These are wonderful things that we've achieved in Havana, and there's no limit

to where we can go from here.

This kind of government.

knows how to help business, to encourage it.

The hotels here are bigger and swankier than any of the rough joints we put in

Vegas. And we can thank our friends in the Cuban government, which has put up

half of the cash with the Teamsters on a dollar-for-dollar basis, has relaxed

restrictions on imports.

What I'm saying is that we have now what we have always needed, real partnership

with the government.

Smaller piece.

You all know Michael Corleone, and we all remember his father.

At the time of my retirement, or death, I turn over all my interest in the

Havana operation to his control.

But, all of you will share, the Nacional will go to the Lakeville Road

Boys, the Capri to the Corleone family.

The Sevilla Biltmore also, but Eddie Levine of Newport will bring in the

Panino brothers, Dino and Eddie, for a piece and also to handle the actual

casino operations.

And we've saved a piece for some friends in Nevada to make sure that things go

smooth back home.

I want all of you to enjoy your cake.

So, enjoy.

I saw an interesting thing happen today.

A rebel was being arrested by the military police.

And rather than be taken alive, he exploded a grenade he had hidden in his

jacket. He killed himself, and he took a captain of the command with him.

Right, Johnny?

Maybe so.

But it occurred to me, the soldiers are paid to fight.

The rebels aren't.

What does that tell you?

They can win.

This country has had rebels for the last 50 years. It's in their blood. Believe

me, I know. I've been coming here since the 20s.

We were running molasses out of Havana when you were a baby.

The truck's owned by your father.

Michael.

I'd rather we talked about this when we were alone.

The two million never got to the island.

I wouldn't want it to get around that you held back the money because you had

second thoughts about the rebels.

Sit down.

to see it, to be there with you.

Huh?

What I wouldn't give for 20 more years.

Here we are, protected, free to make our profits without kefir for the goddamn

Justice Department and the FBI.

90 miles away, partnership with a friendly government.

90 miles?

It's nothing.

Just one small step looking for a man that wants to be president of the United

States and having the cash to make it possible.

Michael, we're bigger than U.S. Steel.

How are you, okay?

Hiya. Freddy Corleone.

I'm here for that.

Jesus Christ, what a trip.

The whole time I'm thinking, what if somebody knows what I got in here?

Can you imagine that, huh? Two million dollars and a seat next to me in the

plane.

Oh, excuse me. No, it's okay.

You want to count it?

Mikey, what the hell's going on anyway?

I'm totally in the dark. My family's making an investment in Havana. This is

a little gift for the president.

Oh.

Well, that's great.

Havana's great.

It's my kind of town.

Anybody I know in Havana?

I don't know. Hyman Roth?

Johnny Ola?

No.

I never met them.

Listen, Mikey, I'm kind of...

I'm kind of nervous from the trip. Can I

get a drink or something?

I thought maybe we'd go out together.

I know a place we can spend some time together, okay?

Sometimes I think I should have married a woman like you did.

Like Kay.

Kids.

Have a family.

Once in my life.

Be more like... Pop.

It's not easy to be a son, Fredo.

Not easy.

Now, Mama used to tease me. She'd say, uh, you don't belong to me. You were

left on the doorstep by gypsies.

Sometimes I think it's true.

You're no gypsy.

Mikey, I... I was mad at you.

Why didn't we spend time like this before?

You want a drink, right?

Waiter!

Uh, por favor.

How do you say banana daiquiri?

Banana daiquiri.

That's it?

Uno banana daiquiri. Banana daiquiri. And a club soda.

Senator Geary is flying in from Washington tomorrow night with some

people, some government people.

I want you to show him a good time in Havana.

It's my specialty, right?

Can I trust you with something later?

Of course, Mike.

Later on in the evening, we're all invited to the presidential palace for

reception, bringing the new year.

After it's over, they're going to take me home in a military car.

Alone. With my protection.

Before I reach my hotel, I'll be assassinated.

It was Roth who tried to kill me in my home.

It was Roth all along.

He acts like I'm his son, his successor.

But he thinks he's going to live forever. He wants me out.

How can I help?

You just go along as though you know nothing.

I've already made my move.

What move?

I'm in love. I'll never see the new year.

He says

you have to take it easy. He's going to give you a prescription. He'll be back

tomorrow. I want my own doctor. Fly him in from Miami.

Don't trust a doctor. Can't speak English.

Honey, go down to the casino.

Well, if you're sure you're feeling better.

You're fine.

Play the bingo game.

Nice to see you, Mr. Paul. Just make yourself at home.

My sixth sense tells me your brother Fredo brought a bag full of money.

Where is it?

You're pulling out?

Just want to... Just want to wait.

How do you feel?

Terrible.

I'd give four million just to be able to take a piss without it hurting.

Who had Frank Pantangeli killed?

The Rosado brothers.

I know.

But who gave the go-ahead?

I know I didn't.

There was this kid I grew up with. He was younger than me.

Sort of looked up to me, you know.

We did our first work together.

Worked our way out of the street.

Things were good. We made the most of it.

During Prohibition, we ran molasses into Canada.

Made a fortune.

Your father, too.

As much as anyone...

I loved him and trusted him.

Later on, he had an idea.

To build a city out of a desert stopover for GIs on the way to the West Coast.

That kid's name was Mo Green.

And the city he invented was Las Vegas.

This was a great man.

Man of vision and guts.

And there isn't even a plaque or a signpost or a statue of him in that

town.

Someone put a bullet through his eye.

No one knows who gave the order.

When I heard it, I wasn't angry.

I knew Moe. I knew he was headstrong, talking loud, saying stupid things.

So when he turned up dead, I let it go.

And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen.

I didn't ask who gave the order, because it had nothing to

do with business.

There are two million in a bag in your room.

I'm going in to take a nap.

When I wake, if the money's on the table, I'll know I have a partner.

If it isn't, I'll know I don't.

All right, so everybody know everybody here,

huh?

This is Senator Geary. You know him.

How are you, sir? Good to see you, Mike.

I'm glad we can spend this time together.

Right, this is Senator Payton from Florida.

How you doing, Mike? And Judge DeMalco from New York.

How do you do, sir? Fine, thank you. Senator Ream from Maryland.

Mike, I've been looking forward to this. This is Fred Corngold from UTT.

I know Fred. That Fred here, he does a mean cha-cha-cha, so watch out later on.

Oh, he does, huh?

All right, gentlemen, it's refill time here.

You might try some of them local drinks, you know, or Cuba Libre, Pina Colada.

I think I'll try one of those red-headed Yolandas.

That you got.

Con gusto, you got it. Johnny.

You don't know my brother Fredo, do you, Johnny?

Johnny Ola, Fredo.

We never met.

Johnny Ola.

Pleasure.

Gentlemen, to a night in Havana.

Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Feliz Año Nuevo. Happy New Year.

That's right, huh?

Everybody stands.

But it's worth it.

Watch. You're not going to believe this. Don't believe it already.

$50, right? You got it, Major.

That's him. That's Superman.

It's gotta be a fake. That ain't no fake. That's real. That's why they call

him Superman.

Hey, Freddy.

Freddy, where did you find this place?

Johnny Ola told me about this place. He brought me here. I didn't believe it,

but seeing is believing, huh? I see it, and I still don't believe it.

Fifty bucks, Pat.

Old Mayor Roth would never come here, but old Johnny knows these places like

the back of his hand.

Now watch him. He's gonna break the cracker with me.

Break a cracker? I wanna see him break a brick.

He could knock down the building.

Thank you.

Relax, Senora.

We're taking you to the hospital.

And in my judgment, you'll continue to get those because I don't believe that

President Eisenhower will ever pull out a cube.

Not as long as we have over $1 billion invested in this country.

Well, the American public believe in non-intervention.

Fredo, where are you going?

I'm going to get me a real drink because I can.

What kept Mr. Roth?

I understood he was coming.

Hey, Reams, what's protocol?

How long's Disney around?

Oh, I don't know.

I think a half hour ought to do it.

Just long enough to bring in the new year.

Shh!

There's a plane waiting for us to take us to Miami in an hour, okay?

Don't make a big thing about it.

I knew it was you, Fredo.

You broke my heart.

You broke my heart.

Due to serious setbacks of our troops in Guantanamo and Santiago, my stay in

Cuba is unsustainable.

I resign to avoid more bloodshed and leave the

city immediately.

I say goodbye on behalf of my family and myself, wishing you all very good

luck.

Salud! Salud!

Salud!

It's the only way out of here tonight.

Roth is dead.

Freedom!

Freedom! Come with me! You're still my...

Please!

I must leave!

Give me a wet towel.

Can you do him back?

What about my boy?

Did you get him something for Christmas?

I took care of it.

Come on with it so I know.

Well, there's a little car with an electric motor that he can ride in.

It's nice.

Fellas, could you step outside for a minute, please?

Where's my brother?

Uh, Roth got out in a private boat. He's in the hospital in Miami.

Stroke, but he recovered okay.

Your bodyguard's dead.

I asked about Fredo.

I think he got out. He must be somewhere in New York.

All right.

I want you to get in touch with him.

I know he's scared.

Tell him everything's all right. Tell him I know Roth must have let him, that

he didn't know they were gonna try to kill me.

Or there was something else.

Come on.

What? Come on, what?

Kay had a miscarriage. She lost the baby.

Was it a boy?

Mikey, after three and a half months... Now, can't you give me a straight answer

anymore?

Mr. Fiji, in the year 1942 to the present time, you were an employee of

the Jenko Olive Oil Company?

That's right.

But in actuality, you were a member of the Corleone Crime Organization.

No, we called it the Corleone Family, Senator. We called it the family.

What was your position?

At first, like everybody else, I was a soldier.

What is that?

A button? You know, Senator. Come on.

No, I don't know.

Tell me.

Well, when the boss says push a button on a guy, I push a button.

See, Senator?

Mr. Quester.

You mean you kill people.

I what? You kill people at the, uh... at the behest of your superiors.

Yeah, that's right, Counselor. And the, uh, the head of your...

family is uh michael corleone yeah council michael corleone right did you

ever get such an order directly from michael corleone no i never talked to

him mr chichi could you amplify your answer a bit please do what could you

expand on your answer i'm particularly interested in knowing uh was there

always a buffer involved

There's someone in between you and your possible superiors who gave the actual

order. Right, yeah, Buffa.

The family had a lot of Buffas.

Mr. Chichi, you may find this very amusing, but I promise you the members

of this committee do not.

He's sure to be strong.

He's sure... that you're for the family.

Oh, yes.

He could be... He could be...

better than making the family strong.

Better than...

Do you think about your wife?

Because she lost her little boy.

Miguel, your wife can always have an older son. No, not a little boy.

She's family.

But your family, you can't call them anything.

Nothing.

Are you the son of Vito Corleone?

Yes, I am.

And where was he born?

Corleone, Sicily.

Did he at times use an alias that was known in certain circles as Godfather?

Godfather is a term that was used by his friends, one of affection, one of

respect.

Mr. Chairman, I would like to verify the witness's statement.

For years now, a growing number of my constituents have been of Italian

descent, and I've come to know them well.

They have honored me with their support and with their friendship.

Indeed, I can proudly say that some of my very best friends are Italian

-Americans.

However, Mr. Chairman, at this time, unfortunately, I have to leave these

proceedings in order to preside over a very important meeting of my own

committee.

But before I leave, I do want to say this, that these hearings on the mafia

are in no way whatsoever a slur upon the great Italian people.

Because I can state from my own knowledge and experience that Italian

Americans are among the most loyal, most law-abiding, patriotic, hard-working

American citizens in this land.

And it would be a shame, Mr. Chairman, if we allowed a few rotten apples.

to give a bad name to the whole bear because from the time of the great

christopher columbus up through the time of enrico fermi right up until the

present day italian americans have been pioneers in building and defending our

great nation they are the salt of the earth and they're one of the backbones

of this country

i'm

sure we all agree with our esteemed colleagues

Now, Mr. Corleone, you have been advised as to your legal rights.

We have testimony from a witness, a previous witness, one Willie Chichi.

He has stated that you are head of the most powerful mafia family in this

country. Are you?

No, I'm not.

The witness has testified that you are personally responsible for the murder of

a New York City police captain in 1947, and with him a man named Virgil Salozo.

You deny this?

Yes, I do.

Is it true that in the year 1950, you devised the murder of the heads of the

so-called five families in New York to assume and consolidate your nefarious

power?

It's a complete falsehood, Mr. Quest. Is it true that you have a controlling

interest in three of the major hotels in Las Vegas?

No, it is not true. I own some stock in some of the hotels there, but very

little.

I also have stock in IBM and IT&T.

Mr. Corleone, do you have any interests or control over gambling and narcotics

in the state of New York?

No, I do not.

Senator, my client would like for you to state before this committee.

Mr. Chairman, Mr.

Chairman, I think this statement is totally out of order at this time. Sir,

my client has answered every question asked by this committee with the utmost

sincerity.

He has not taken the Fifth Amendment as it was his right to do so. In all

fairness, I think the statement should be heard.

No, no, I'm going to allow Mr. Curley only to read the statement.

I'll put it in the record.

In the hopes of clearing my family name and the sincere desire to give my

children their fair share of the American way of life without a blemish

on their name and background, I have appeared before this committee and given

it all the cooperation in my power.

I consider it a great dishonor to me personally to have to deny that I am a

criminal.

I wish to have the following noted for the record.

That I served my country faithfully and honorably in World War II and was

awarded the Navy Cross for actions in defense of my country.

That I have never been arrested or indicted for any crime whatsoever.

That no proof linking me to any criminal conspiracy

whether it is called Mafia or Cosa Nostra or whatever other name you wish

to give, has ever been made public.

I have not taken refuge behind the Fifth Amendment, though it is my right to do

so.

I challenge this committee to produce any witness or evidence against me.

And if they do not, I hope they will have the decency to clear my name with

the same publicity

with which they now have besmirched it.

I'm sure we're all quite impressed, Mr. Corleone, particularly with your love

for our country.

The committee will stand in recess until 10 a.m. Monday morning, at which time

the committee will produce a witness who will corroborate the charges which were

made against you today, and at which time, Mr. Corleone, you may very well be

subject to indictment for perjury.

I remind you that you're still under subpoena, Mr. Corleone. I adjourn.

Ten to one shot, you said. Ten to one shot, he would take the fifth, and I

lose.

You sound like my bookie.

Oh, that monkey, my life.

Well, just get a good night's sleep.

Yeah, good night's sleep.

Got a big day tomorrow.

Got you a new suit, a new shirt, a new tie.

I'm gonna shave you myself in the morning.

And you're going to look respectable for 50 million of your fellow Americans.

Tomorrow? My life won't be worth a nickel after tomorrow.

Come on, I saw this. I saw this for 19 times.

You got a great home here, Frankie.

The rest of your life, nobody gets near you, you're not going anywhere.

Oh, that's great.

That's beautiful.

Some deal I made.

You'll live like a king. You'll be a hero.

They'll live better in here than most people on the outside.

Some deal.

Alive.

Pantangeli is alive.

How'd they get the hands on him?

Roth.

He engineered it, Michael.

Frankie went to make a deal with the Rosato brothers, and they tried to kill

him. He thought you double-crossed him.

A lot of people with the New York detectives said he was half-dead, scared

stiff, and talking out loud that you'd turned on him.

They already had him on possession, bookmaking, murder one, and a lot more.

The FBI has an airtight.

He's on an army base, 24-hour guards.

There's no way we can get to him.

You've opened yourself to five counts of perjury.

What about Fredo?

What does he know?

He says he doesn't know anything, and I believe him.

Roth, boy, he played this one beautifully.

I haven't got a lot to say, Mike.

We have time.

I was kept pretty much in the dark.

I didn't know all that much.

What about now?

Is there anything you can help me out with?

Anything you can tell me now?

Look up intentionally, that's all I can tell you.

I didn't know it was going to be a hit, Mike.

I swear to God, I didn't know it was going to be a hit.

Johnny Ola bumped into me in Beverly Hills.

And he said that he wanted to talk.

He said that you and Roth were in on a big deal together.

that there was something in it for me if I could help him out. He said that you

were being tough on the negotiations, but if they could get a little help and

close the deal fast, it would be good for the family.

You believe that story?

You believe that?

He said there was something in it for me on my own.

I've always taken care of you, Fredo.

Taking care of me?

You're my kid brother and you take care of me?

Did you ever think about that?

Did you ever once think about that?

Send Fredo off to do this, send Fredo off to do that.

Let Fredo take care of some Mickey Mouse nightclub somewhere.

Send Fredo to pick somebody up at the airport.

I'm your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over.

That's the way Pop wanted it. It ain't the way!

Not like everybody says.

Like, dumb, I'm smart, and I want respect.

Is there anything you can tell me about this investigation?

Anything more?

The Senate lawyer, Questad.

He belongs to Roth.

You're nothing to me now.

You're not a brother.

You're not a friend.

I don't want to know you or what you do.

I don't want to see you at the hotels.

I don't want you near my house.

When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance so I won't be there.

You understand?

Mikey.

I don't want anything to happen to him while my mother's alive.

More people in a ball game than me.

Hey, that's Willie Cheesy.

This committee will come to order.

State your name, please.

Franklin Tongeli.

And where were you born?

Puerto Rico. It's outside of Palermo.

And where do you live now?

I live in an army barracks with the FBI guys.

We have here finally a witness that will further testify to Michael Corleone's

rule over a criminal empire that controls all of the gambling in this

country and perhaps in other countries. This witness has had no buffer between

himself and Michael Corleone.

He can corroborate our charges on enough counts for this committee to recommend a

charge of perjury against Michael Corleone.

Senator. Thank you, Chairman.

Mr. Pentangeli.

Mr. Pentangelo, were you a member of the Corleone family?

Did you serve under Capo Regime, Peter Clemenza, under Vito

Corleone, also known as the Godfather?

I never knew no Godfather.

I got my own family, Senator.

Mr. Pentangeli, you are contradicting a sworn statement you've previously made

to me in sign.

I ask you again, sir.

Here and now, under oath, were you at any time a member of a crime

organization headed by Michael Corleone?

I don't know nothing about that.

Oh.

I was in the olive oil business with his father.

But that was a long time ago, that's all.

We have a sworn affidavit.

We have it.

Your sworn affidavit that you murdered on the orders of Michael Corleone.

Do you deny this confession? And do you realize what will happen as a result of

your denial?

Look, the FBI guys, they promised me a deal.

So I made up a lot of stuff about Michael Corleone because that's what

they wanted.

But it's all lies.

Uh, everything.

And I kept saying, uh, Michael Corleone did this, and, uh, Michael Corleone did

that.

So I said, uh, yeah, sure.

Mr. Corleone, would you kindly identify for the committee the gentleman sitting

to your left?

I can't answer that.

His name is Vincenzo Pintanzo.

Is he related to the witness?

He is, I believe, a brother.

Will he come forward and be sworn, sir?

Sir, this man does not understand English.

He came at his own expense to aid his brother in his time of trouble.

He's not under subpoena, and his reputation in his own country is

impeccable. Are you saying he knows nothing about these matters? To my

knowledge, nothing.

I'm going to find out what the hell happened here.

All right, this committee is now adjourned.

The witness is excused. Senator!

Senator! This committee owes it a post! This committee owes an apology.

Apology, Senator.

The children are outside.

We're going.

What do you mean, you're going? We're all gonna leave tomorrow.

Uh, Rocco?

I'll be in my room, Mike.

Michael, I'm not going back to Nevada.

I brought the children to say goodbye to you.

I want you to know I'm very happy for you.

I suppose I always knew you were too smart to let any of them ever beat you.

Why don't you sit down? No. No, I'm not going to stay long. I can't.

There's some things I'd like to talk to you about.

Some things that have been on my mind.

Changes I want to make.

I think it's too late for changes, Michael.

I promised myself I wasn't going to say anything, and now I've... You don't mean

too late.

What really happened with Pentangeli, Michael?

His brother came and helped him.

I didn't even know he had a brother.

And where is he now?

He's on a plane back to Sicily.

All he had to do was show his face.

It was between the brothers, Kay.

I had nothing to do with it.

Michael, you say you love me, and then you talk about allowing me to leave.

There are things that have been going on for years between men and women that

will not...

At this moment, I feel no love for you at all.

I never thought that would ever happen.

and leave tomorrow.

Kay, why don't you take the kids back to their room?

Michael, you haven't heard me.

Kay, what do you want from me?

Do you expect me to let you go? Do you expect me to let you take my children

from me?

Don't you know me?

Don't you know that that's an impossibility, that that could never

happen, that I'd use all my power to keep something like that from happening?

Don't you know that?

Okay.

Now, in time, you'll feel differently.

You'll be glad I stopped you now.

I know that.

I know you blame me for losing the baby.

I know what that meant to you.

I'll make it up to you, Kay.

I swear I'll make it up to you.

I'll... I'm gonna change.

I'll change.

I've learned that I have the strength to change.

And you'll forget about this miscarriage.

And we'll have another child, and we'll go on.

You and I will go on. Oh.

Oh, Michael.

Michael, you are blind.

It wasn't a miscarriage.

It was an abortion.

An abortion, Michael.

Just like our marriage is an abortion.

Something that's unholy and evil.

I didn't want your son, Michael.

I wouldn't bring another one of your sons into this world.

It was an abortion, Michael.

It was a son, a son, and I had it killed because this must all end.

I know now that it's over.

I knew it then.

There would be no way, Michael, no way you could ever forgive me.

Not with this Sicilian thing that's been going on for 2,000 years.

You

won't take my

children.

I will. You won't take my...

I am.

Tom, can I speak with you for a second, Tom?

Don't whiz, Mike.

Waiting for you to leave.

Can I talk with him?

Sorry, Fedda, no chance.

Can I see him?

Yeah, he's in the boathouse.

Michael, it's Connie.

Michael?

I'd like to stay close to home now, if it's all right.

Is Kay coming?

Michael, Fred is in the house with Mama.

He asked for you, and Tom said you wouldn't see him.

That's right.

Kids, why don't you go outside for a while?

Michael, please, I want to talk to you.

Michael, I hated you for so many years.

I think that I did things to myself to hurt myself so that you'd know.

And I could hurt you.

You were just being strong for all of us the way Papa was.

And I forgive you.

Can't you forgive Fredo?

He's so sweet and helpless without you.

You need me, Michael.

I want to take care of you now.

Sit down.

Our friend and business

partner, Hyman Roth, is in the news.

You hear about it?

I hear that he's in Israel.

The high court in Israel turned down his request to live there as a returned Jew.

His passport's been invalidated, except for a return to the United States.

He landed in Buenos Aires yesterday.

He offered a gift of a million dollars if they'd let him live there.

They turned him down.

He's gonna try Panama.

Panama won't take him.

Not for a million, not for ten million.

His medical condition is reported as terminal. He's only gonna live another

six months anyway.

He's been dying of the same heart attack for 20 years.

That plane goes to Miami.

Okay. That's where I want it met.

Mike, that's impossible.

They'll turn him over directly to the Internal Revenue, Customs, and half the

FBI. It's not impossible.

Nothing's impossible.

It would be like trying to kill the president. There's no way we can get to

him.

Tom, you know you surprised me.

If anything in this life is certain, if history's taught us anything,

It says you can kill anyone.

Laco.

Difficult. Not impossible.

Good.

Why did you ask me if something was wrong when I came in?

I thought you were going to tell me that...

You were moving your family to Vegas.

And once you've been offered the vice presidency of the house and hotels

there.

I thought you were going to tell me that. I turned them down. I mean, do I

have to tell you about every offer that I turned down?

Let's do business.

All right.

Just consider this, Michael. That's all. Just consider it.

Now, Roth and the Rosados are on the run.

Are they worth it, and are they strong enough?

Is it worth it?

I mean, you've won.

Do you want to wipe everybody out? I don't feel I have to wipe everybody out,

Tom.

Just my enemies.

That's all.

You're gonna come along with me in these things I have to do, or what?

Because if not, you can take your wife, your family...

And your mistress.

Move them all to Las Vegas.

Why do you hurt me, Michael?

I've always been loyal to you. I mean, what is this?

What is it

that you want me to do?

Hey, Anthony.

Hey, Anthony, how would you like it if I taught you how to catch the really big

fish? Would you like that?

Okay.

You know, when I was your age, I went out fishing with all my brothers and

my father and everybody.

And I was the only one that caught a fish.

Nobody else could catch one except me.

You know how I did it?

Every time I put the line in the water, I said a Hail Mary.

And every time I said a Hail Mary, I caught a fish.

You believe that?

It's true.

That's the secret.

You want to try it when we go out in the lake?

Okay.

Okay.

What else you got?

He's going to be okay, Frankie. Don't worry.

Did my brother go back? Yeah.

Don't worry.

He's ten times tougher than me, my brother.

He's old-fashioned.

Yeah.

He didn't even want to go out to dinner. He just wanted to go straight home.

That's my brother.

Nothing could get him away from that two-meal town.

He could have been big here. He could have had his own family.

What do I do now?

Frankie.

You were always interested in politics and history.

I remember you talking about Hitler back in 33.

I still read a lot.

I get good stuff in there.

You were around the old-timers.

We dreamed up how the family should be organized, how they based it on the old

Roman legions and call them regimes, the capos and the soldiers.

And it worked.

Yeah, it worked.

Those were great old days, you know.

And we was like the Roman Empire.

The Corleone family was like the Roman Empire.

It was once.

Thank you.

On a plot against the emperor failed.

Plotters are always given a chance.

To let the families keep their fortunes.

Yeah, but only the rich guys, Tom. The little guys, they got knocked off.

And all their estates went to the emperors.

Unless they went home and killed themselves.

And nothing happened.

And their families, their families were taken care of, Tom.

That was a good break.

Nice deal.

Yeah.

They went home and sat in a hot bath, opened

up their veins, and bled to death.

And sometimes they had a little party before they did it.

Don't worry about anything, Frankie Five Angels.

Thanks, Tom.

Anthony, please hurry. He's coming.

Anthony,

kiss Mama goodbye.

Anthony, will you kiss your mother goodbye?

Anthony, say goodbye to Mama.

Anthony. Anthony, I love you, Anthony.

Okay, please.

Anthony? Anthony, please, kiss me once.

He's here. We're going fishing.

No.

Michael wants to take him to Reno now.

Oh, shit.

Okay, kid. You got to go to Reno with your pop.

Come on, Anthony. I'll take you fishing again tomorrow, okay?

Okay.

Boy. Hey, Anthony.

Listen.

I'll catch one for you with the secret, huh?

All right?

I'll be glad.

Okay, let's go.

Mr. Roth, do you understand I'll have to take you into custody?

Yes, I understand.

Can you give us your reaction to the High Court of Israel's ruling?

I'm a retired investor on a pension.

I went to Israel because I wish to live there as a Jew in the twilight of my

life.

Hey, Frankie, come on out. Let's play some hearts.

Frankie! Is it true you're worth over $300 million, Mr. Rod?

I'm a retired investor living on a pension.

I came home to vote in the presidential election.

because they wouldn't give me an absentee ballot.

Jesus

Christ.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women.

Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners.

Hey, everybody, come on, pay attention.

Come here.

That's my friend Carlo Rizzi.

That's my brother Fredo. Oh, you know him. Sure, I know him.

There's my stepbrother Tom.

That's his, uh, girl Teresa.

This cute little thing over here, this is my sister Connie. I was telling you

about her, huh?

Come on, say hello to Carlo.

He's good looking, isn't he?

Yes.

Oh, that droopy thing over there, that's my brother Mike. We call him Joe Carlo,

you know what I mean?

Come on, sit down.

Go ahead.

Talk to each other. Sit down.

Hey, Mr. Einstein.

Joe.

Here's the cake.

Hey, Sally, get in here.

Come on.

Where's your father?

Took him on a wild goose chase.

Let's see that thing.

Oh, honey, that's nice, huh?

Should I put the candles on now?

Yeah, go on. You help, all right, Carlos? Sure.

Hey,

what is that, rum?

Yeah, yeah, all right, of course.

Sonny, come on, don't touch the pasta until Pop says it.

It's not hot, huh?

I'd say.

What do you think of the nerve of them chaps, huh? Them slanty-eyed bastards,

huh? Chopping bombs in our own backyard on Pop's birthday.

They didn't know it was Pop's birthday.

They didn't know it was Pop's birthday.

Uh, we should have expected it after the oil embargo.

What do you mean expect it? Expect it or not, they got no right dropping bombs.

What are you, a Jap lover or something on their side?

I understand 30,000 men enlisted this morning. Watch your saps.

I don't have to talk about the war.

Hey, B, you talk the call, all right?

They're saps because they risk their lives for strangers.

Well, that's pop talking. You're goddamn right that's pop talking.

They risk their lives for their country.

Your country ain't your blood. You remember that.

I don't feel that way.

I don't feel that way.

Well, if you don't feel like that, why don't you just quit college and go to

join the army?

I did.

I enlisted in the Marines.

Mikey, why? Why didn't you come to us?

What do you mean?

I mean, Pop had to pull a lot of strings to get your deferment.

I didn't ask for it.

I didn't ask for a deferment. I didn't want it.

Come on, come on, I'm not going to walk.

Come on, hey, come on, Sonny.

Sonny, Sonny, sit. Go on, sit. Sit down.

Mom and Dad are fighting again.

Of course you'll call in a tree.

on his birthday.

That's swell, Mike.

Congratulations. That's right. Encouraging.

Come on, give me a drink.

Boy.

You gotta understand that your father has plans for you.

Now, many times, he and I have talked about your future.

He talked to my father about my future.

My future.

Mikey, he has high hopes for you.

Well, I have my own plans for my future.

Of course, you go to college, you get stupid.

You're really stupid.

He's here. Come on.

Shh.

Come on.

Come here.

My dear children, it is now better than several years since I moved to New York,

and I haven't seen you as much as I would like to.

I hope you will come to this ceremony of papal honors given for my charitable

work.

The only wealth in this world is children, more than all the money and

power on earth.

You are my treasure.

Although I entrusted your education to your mother for your own best interests,

you know how I look forward to seeing you into a new period of harmony in our

lives.

Perhaps you might prevail upon your mother to come to this celebration, and

that from time to time, we can all see each other in family function.

Anyway, I remain your loving father.

Paulus sextus pontifex maximus. Hail Mary.

full of grace.

Blessed art thou amongst women.

Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners.

Almighty God, bless the insignia of Saint Sebastian the Martyr, that it may

contribute to the sacredness of him to whom it is given.

Do you, Michael, promise to be faithful?

to the noble purposes of this order, to have a special care for the poor, the

needy, and those who are ill.

I do so promise.

May

the

blessing of Almighty God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

descend upon you and remain with you forever.

Amen.

Vincent, our name's not on the list.

Write it in.

Mancini. M-A-N-C-I-N-I.

So, is there a problem here? No problem. Our name's not on the list. Hey, if

you're not on the list, you have to leave immediately.

You want to dance with me, sweetie?

Joe, Joe, it's Vinnie. Vinnie, it's okay.

These are our guests.

Sorry, Dave.

It's alright, it's alright.

That was really welcome to the party.

I'm proud of you today. I'm so proud.

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you again. This is my husband.

That was my son, Anthony.

The Order of St. Sebastian is one of the highest honors the Catholic Church can

bestow upon a layman.

The award was first granted by Pope Gregory... What about Mr. Corleone's

connections with Las Vegas gambling?

Press kits have pictures... How about his involvement with the underworld?

He cut the crap, huh?

The Pope, the Holy Father himself...

has this very day blessed Michael Corleone. You think you know better than

a pope?

Do it. Do it. Vincent.

Yes. She loves you.

Yeah?

I love you, too.

Hi, Vincent.

I remember you.

You remember me? From where?

From the last time we had a party together.

Did you come down to the club?

No, it was a wedding.

A wedding?

I was eight, and you were 15.

Well, I had a lot of girlfriends when I was 15.

Eight-year-olds?

Especially eight-year-olds.

Where's Mary?

Would somebody please hail Mary?

Excuse me, Your Excellency.

You know, you haven't kissed me hello yet.

Relatives always kiss.

Oh, now we're related.

I'm your little cousin.

Who's your father?

I'll give you a hint.

He's Italian.

Mary. Mary, we've been waiting for you.

Remember.

Remember now. Keep your voice low, right?

And smile.

Don't forget to smile.

The honorary chairman of the Vito Corleone Foundation, my daughter, Mary

Corleone.

I think I inherited my father's love for speech-making, but here it goes.

The Vita Corleone Foundation helps the impoverished of every country, gives

grants to artists, funds medical research, and is particularly dedicated

to the resurrection of Sicily.

Archbishop Gilday, here is 100 million dollars for the poor of Sicily.

in the name of Vito Corleone and spend it all in one place.

Thank you very much. I'm happy.

to be here with you, and I'd like you to join me in honoring Comendatore Michael

Corleone.

I have something special for our host in Godfather.

I just happen to know his favorite song.

Michael, where are you going? What's your favorite song?

I'm off to the kitchen to hear some Tony Bennett records.

What's your favorite song?

Sausage Salad.

I'll be back.

with the sun and the rain or its lovely promise

won't come true to each his own

Well, congratulations, Michael. That's really quite an honor.

It's a little expensive, wouldn't you say?

Cake?

No, thank you.

Your son has something he wants to talk to you about.

I came here for him.

What's wrong with being a lawyer? Nothing, except he doesn't want it.

He loves music. He wants his life to be in music.

Well, music is great. I love music. But he should finish what he started.

Anthony.

I'm going my own way.

Your own way?

Professional singer. That's right.

And what happens?

What happens if you fail?

I won't fail.

Men always believe that. I know.

If you have a law degree, you're taking out insurance.

After that, you can do anything you want. You can work for me. I will never

work for you.

I have bad memories.

Every family has bad memories.

I will always be your son, but I will never have anything to do with your

business.

Anthony, finish the law.

Well, that he got from you, that no.

You could have helped me to convince him, Kate.

Oh, yeah.

Convince him of what?

Of what?

He throws his life away.

He throws greatness away.

This is greatness?

You know, Michael, now that you're so respectable, I think you're more

dangerous than you ever were.

In fact, I preferred you when you were just a common mafia hood.

Okay.

Now can we talk? Common sense. All right.

Okay.

Tony knows that you killed Fredo.

I came here to protect my son.

I didn't come here to see you disguised by your church.

I think that was a shameful ceremony.

I spent my life protecting my son.

I spent my life protecting my family! Let's be reasonable, okay?

That's your big thing, isn't it, Michael?

Reason?

Backed up by murder?

I dread you.

I did what I could, Kay, to protect all of you from the horrors of this world.

But you became my horror.

Children still love you, though.

Especially Mary.

That's something.

We can build on that.

For their sake.

Let's try it.

Only if you let Tony go free to have his own life.

Away from you.

I'll let Tony go.

Thank you.

Hi. Hi.

You can hurt somebody with those.

You've been working too hard. Let me show you around.

Can you get me an interview with Michael Corleone?

Uh, no.

I'm a relative, but I can't do that.

What else can I do for you?

Handsome, but useless.

Oh, yeah?

That's okay. I'll gamble.

Like a gamble?

So we go to Atlantic City, my town.

So you had a gamble.

Yeah, but I like to win. How will I know what numbers to bet?

Do I look like a guy who's going to lose?

No.

It's a pretty looking guy there.

What is a guy like that doing at Michael Corleone's house?

That's Joey Sala's bulldog.

You know that guy? Yeah, I know that guy.

That guy's name is Anthony Spugliero.

They call him that.

He dips his bullets in Sinai.

I come to pay my respects.

You honor my father's friendship.

Where is my goddaughter?

Costanza.

It was not so long ago I held you in these old hands.

Michael. Pitch, Eddie. So come on out. No, no, I stay, I stay.

Michael, I lost all the venom, all the juice of youth.

I lost the lust for women.

And now my mind is clear.

My duty to God is clear.

I... I have a special favor to ask of you.

Can I attach my name to the We Talk Holy Home

Foundation so that you and I can be joined in name and spirit?

One million dollars.

Come, let's go and sample some of it.

Move in.

The Vatican knows nothing about these shareholders.

Good. I have a tendency to worry.

We've increased our position substantially, and naturally I worry.

Come along now, stop worrying.

We have an agreement.

Good. How do you think I got this gray hair?

Mr. Corleone.

Frank, how are you? Thank you very much for the contribution of the boys. And we

need your help on Sam Wallace's candidacy for judgeship.

We always can use a good judge. Thank you.

Angela.

Excellency, my godson, Andrew Hagen, brother Tom Hagen's eldest boy.

He's been assistant to Bishop Israel.

Three years now.

Hoping for an assignment to the Vatican. There's always a place in Rome for a

fine young priest.

His mother, Teresa Hagen.

Bishop Gilday.

It's an honor to meet you.

Mr. Corleone. Hi. Grace Hamilton.

Vincent Mancini promised that he'd tell you about me. That maybe you'd see me.

Vincent Mancini called about her?

No.

Grace, he promised me he'd stay up there. I know.

Twice. I know.

Joey Zaza showed up.

They got him waiting in the lobby.

He says he wants to personally congratulate me and show his respect.

Do I have to see him?

He says you're his patron and he only wants a minute.

Hey, Vinny.

Who's your favorite aunt? You are.

Today I'm going to talk to Michael about your little problem.

I wish you would have warned me, Con. I could have won a better suit.

The Meucci Association has elected you their Italian-American Man of the Year.

Meucci?

Who's Meucci?

He's the Italian-American who invented the telephone.

He did it one year before Alexander Graham Bell.

And this is the reason you've come to my home on this day.

I,

um...

I got a stone in my shoe, Mr. Corleone.

A two-bit punk who works for me.

The one who thinks he's related to you.

A bastard.

He's here.

Vincent Mancini.

He's at the party.

What are you bringing me?

I think it's good we talk.

No, no, Grazini. Second with us.

I have a problem, and I want to find out if it is my problem

or your problem.

Joe, your business is your business.

I have no interest or percentages for them.

I'm out.

Good.

Then it's my problem.

Michael, you know Vincent Mancini?

Sonny's boy.

How you doing, Mr. Corleone?

How you doing?

I'm doing good. How you doing?

Good party.

Oh, you like it? Yeah, I sneak in.

You can dress for it.

So, what's the trouble between you and Mr. Joe Zaza?

Just trouble.

I take care of it.

It's foolish of you.

Foolish of me?

Thinks a little foolish of this guy, don't you think?

Right?

Right!

Kemper like his father.

Vincent.

Mr. Joe Zaza now owns what used to be the Corleone family business in New

York. Out of the kindness of his heart, he gave you a job in his family.

Contrary to my advice, you took the job.

I offered you something better in the legitimate world.

You turned me down.

Now, you both come to me with this bad blood.

Now, what do you expect me to do?

Am I a gangster?

No, you're not a gangster. And that was Papa's neighborhood, and now it's a

sewer. Zaza runs it like a disgrace. That's what the women tell you. That's

the past, Connie.

I earned that territory with my talent.

Commission gave it to me, and you approved.

Yes. Michael, I gave it to the party. I'm not here to ask you for any kind of

help. I could just kill this bastard. He's the one who needs the help. So kill

him.

What does all this have to do with me?

Boy, he's going on behind your back saying, fuck Michael Corleone all the

time. That's it. That's one thing it has to do with you, right?

Say it to his face. One time. Say it to his face. One time!

Mr. Corleone, all bastards are liars. Shakespeare wrote poems about him. What

am I going to do with this guy?

What am I going to do with this guy?

Joey, if there's some guy running around this city saying fuck Michael Corleone,

what do we do with a piece of shit like that?

a fucking dog.

No.

Yes, it's true.

If anyone would say such a thing, they would not be a friend.

They would be a dog.

My interests don't conflict with Mr. Joe's eyes. Oh, you don't know how much

your interests conflict with Mr. Joe's eyes, Uncle Michael.

He needs your support, Michael.

Don't let me work for this guy no more, Uncle Mike. Let me come work for you.

For me?

Yeah. As what?

Tough guy?

I don't need tough guys.

I need more lawyers.

Since we have no conflicts, no debts, I accept your treatment.

I wish you well.

Vincent, make your peace with Mr. Joe's house.

Come on.

Bastard.

Vinnie, for Christ's sake, what the hell's the matter with you?

Get him out of here.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Uncle Mike, I told you it wasn't the right time for this. Uncle Mike, listen,

I know you're into banks and Wall Street, but everyone knows you're the

father of war. You're like the Supreme Court. All I want to do is protect you

from these guys, and your lawyers can't do that.

You can.

Yeah, I can do that.

And why should I be afraid of Joe's husband?

Oh, he knows you're stopping him from rising up in the commission, Uncle Mike.

I say we make him dead, you give me the order, I'll take care of it.

You'll take care of it?

Yeah.

Maybe you should come with me for a few weeks.

See what happens.

Okay. See if you learn.

And we'll talk about your future.

I won't let you do that.

So what happened?

What happened?

They put me in the room with Joey Zaza. What's going to happen? I bet the guy's

here. Here we go. Watch the card.

See you there.

Pull it. Change the plate here.

Yeah.

Take the picture.

Little girl. Yes, sir.

Close it into the center for it, sir.

You have, here we go.

Ready?

Smile.

Beautiful.

Father, this is the cake for you and your family from Enzo Rebecca.

You want to do it?

That's right, you leave.

Vincent.

What do you want, sweetheart?

Do you love me?

Come on, say it. Come on, go to bed. No, say it. I love you, I love you.

I love you too.

You got a cat?

Go get us some water, would you? I'm thirsty.

Come on.

Come on.

Well,

I just guess I know my place.

I can't believe I'm actually getting up to do this.

Get me a glass of water, bake me a cake. Whatever happened to please?

Come on. Good boy, sockface.

Go for a walk.

Hey.

Come on, let her go.

Fucking cut her throat, man.

What'd you say?

I said cut her fucking throat.

Okay, Chief. Drop your gun, man, or he's gonna cut her throat.

What are you, fucking crazy? I already know this broad.

Cut her. What the fuck do I care?

No.

You got no choice, man.

This chick's gonna be dead.

You hurt her, and I'll kill you both.

You give up that knife, I'll let you go. You cut her throat, man! Right now!

Hey!

I'm gonna do something to convince you. Don't get frightened. Don't do any

sudden movements. Just watch me, all right?

You hear what I said? Yeah.

Okay.

Drop the knife.

Go ahead. Drop it! Good boy.

Sit down. I want to talk to you.

It's a wise choice. Sit down. I want to talk to you.

Lose the mask.

Relax. Have a smoke. You smoke?

Whose idea was this?

Who sent you?

Come on. Tell me. Who sent you?

Take a good look at this guy?

Yeah.

So who sent you?

Joey. Joey Zaza.

No!

You okay?

I wasn't going to let anything happen to you.

You pig! You sick fuck!

Come on, sweetheart. That's gambling. You want it gambling? That's gambling.

Call the police.

You killed the other guy, too.

Wait for my gun.

Self-defense, justifiable homicide.

Go ahead. Call the police.

Where are you going? Oh, no, no, no. Take some pictures first. No pictures.

You had a gun.

They only had a knife.

You could have talked him into surrendering, handed him over to the

police.

Zaza sent these guys. I just sent him a message, that's all.

Now he has to send you a message back. Joey Zaza got to send me a message back?

Joey Zaza's gonna send a message.

He did the right thing. He got Zaza's name.

What does Joey Zaza got to do with anything? Joey Zaza's a pozzo.

Joey Zaza.

All right.

You are what you are.

It's your nature.

You stay close to me.

You don't do anything.

You keep your mouth shut and your eyes open.

And you do what I tell you. Understand?

I understand.

I got problems with the commission, young man.

I know that. Yes.

You don't make them easier. I understand that. It wasn't my idea that this

happened, you know.

All right, go on. Get out of here.

Michael.

Yes.

Now they'll fear you.

Maybe they should fear you.

Michael, the archbishop just called back.

We've arranged some amazing things for you. The publicity is phenomenal.

You're the new Rockefeller, a philanthropist.

Sign right here, please.

Times do change, don't they?

My father hated foundations.

He loved doing it by himself, man to man.

But we, we're different, huh?

It's no different than any large corporation.

We control a lot of money with very little.

Minimize taxes?

No government control?

Yes.

When?

Godfather.

Andrew.

Godfather. Off to Rome.

I wanted to thank you for all you've done for me.

You might want to have some breakfast with us.

Thanks, I can't.

How's your tithing?

This father was a great lawyer. I know.

Didn't live to see him ordained. I did.

Did you ever see one of those?

No. Oh, beautiful.

I was so proud. Come on, let me walk you out.

Andrew, if you hear any rumors flying around the Vatican, you let me know. No,

no, no.

Andrew has a true faith.

lights a little candle.

My gift was to be able to persuade people to give to the Holy Church.

Then Rome decides to put me in charge of the Vatican Bank.

But I was never a true banker.

Mea culpa.

I trusted my friend.

Friendship and money.

Oil and water.

Indeed.

These friends use the good name of the church to feed their greed.

If money was lost, then I am to blame.

Oh, if only prayer could pay off our $700 million deficit.

769, maybe.

The Church owns 25% of a large corporation.

Immobilare.

You know the one I mean.

Largest landlord on Earth. Real estate all over the world worth $6 billion.

That's true.

And the Vatican vote is necessary for control.

This isn't a question of one person deciding, one deciding vote.

This is like any other company in the world. We have directors, we have rules,

but we have very old rules.

Pope himself would have to approve you.

We've sold the casinos.

All business is having to do with gambling.

We have no interests.

or investments in anything illegitimate.

The Corleones are prepared to deposit $500 million in the Vatican Bank at such

times as Mr. Corleone receives majority control of Immobiliari. Immobiliari

could be something new.

A European conglomerate.

Few families have control of such a company.

in today's world, the power to absolve debt is greater than the power of

forgiveness.

Six hundred million dollars.

Don't overestimate the power of forgiveness.

Don Corleone, this deal with the nobly Harry can make you one of the richest

men in the world.

Your whole past history and the history of your family will be washed away.

600 million.

The motion and the discussion relates to Corleone Group's proposal to acquire 100

million newly issued Class A hoarding shares.

Six million dollars in Corleone capital invested directly into International

Immobiliari, an old and respected European company.

But Michael Corleone has an ambitious program to expand this real estate

holding company.

into an international conglomerate that can meet the challenges. Not by

political ideologies, but by eastern techniques of efficiency and focus and

unlimited... Mr. Corleone, excuse me.

Isn't it true that you recently deposited 200 million in the Vatican

Bank, which is affiliated with international mobility?

This is true. Why not?

Wasn't there any questioning about the timing on this particular deposit, or

wasn't there some talk about the fact that... The Vito Andolini

Corleone Foundation, of which Mr. Corleone's daughter marries chairman,

has established an endowment in the amount of $100 million.

The money comes from his own family and will be administered by the Vatican.

Answer your question?

I have always believed...

Helping your fellow man is profitable in every sense, personally and bottom line.

My fellow shareholders, if Europe and America can learn to cooperate, if we

can learn to pool our wealth, share our markets, we can defeat any competition

anywhere in the world.

Let me thank you for your time you've given me here today, and I hope that you

will look favorably on my proposal.

Let me at this microphone here.

How can we let a criminal like that run our company?

He's got the map of Sicily on his face, can't you see it? Order!

Order! He's either a Catholic or a mafioso, and I say both.

The Hamilton Investors Group cannot support this proposal.

Your Excellency.

Mr. Chairman, the Vatican Bank feels...

that international immobiliare will be safe

in Mr.

Corleone's hands.

Subject to audit and final ratification which must take place in Rome.

Please join me in welcoming Mr. Michael Corleone.

Dad? Huh?

Tony says that I'm a front for the foundation.

That you're using me just to pull the strings.

To get the money while you want it. Oh, come on, please.

To shine up your public image.

Mary.

Mary, this is real, this foundation.

It's real.

I wanted Anthony to be a part of it. And I thought the two of you would be

together on this.

I won't interfere.

I'll help, only if you ask. What is this really for?

Why are you doing this?

Why am I doing this?

I'm doing this for my children.

You're doing it for your children, too.

This foundation is supposed to help all people.

Of course, that's the purpose.

This is legitimate, Mary.

I swear, this is legitimate.

Dad, I want this to bring me closer to you.

I would burn in hell to keep you safe.

No, no, no. You go in the other car. I'll ride with Michael.

Go, go, go.

As your family's oldest friend,

I've always chosen to bring you messages.

Tell me.

They're nothing.

Your old partners are grateful for the money you made them. They worship you.

But their hearts are broken because they think you abandoned them.

They want to share your deal on Immobiliari to be a family again.

It can purify their money.

This I cannot do.

Immobilary must be legitimate.

I know.

But they're unhappy.

And you?

I ask nothing for myself.

Only peace in my old age. But I must please the world around me.

There was a reasonable man.

Learn from him.

I learned many things from my father.

Call a meeting, my friend, so there are no debts or grudges.

We will make the peace.

You and I.

...announced that Pope Paul VI will be forced to cancel the usual Sunday Mass

due to health complications. The Pope suffers from acute cystitis and the

curative doctor has recommended a total rest and the cessation of any impending

activity. The Pope's health has been precarious for several years, with a

tendency to droplet and influenza.

The Vatican doctors are afraid that the activity and the noise of the capital

will lead to flu and influenza.

They just had a press conference.

They said the Pope's condition is grave.

Gravissimo, they said.

Please. Our group represents a consortium of Catholic businessmen

against the Corleone control.

The Vatican has cast its vote.

The Corleone group already controls the board.

According to legend, really, the Vatican's ward must be ratified here.

Here in Rome, by the Pope.

The Pope is gravely ill.

Until he recovers, I am powerless.

What if he dies?

Then, as the Americans say, all bets are off.

Gentlemen, please.

This is a brief delay.

Nothing more.

Your Excellency, gentlemen.

I advise you join us in our prayers for the Holy Father's recovery.

No, we had an agreement!

And this meeting was to be merely a formality. That's all it was.

Please sit down. I'd rather stand. Can someone just give me an answer? We have

put ourselves on the line. The immobiliare has its roots in the

European tradition.

Please try to understand.

I understand.

Your tactics are despicable.

Well, that's quite an indictment coming from a Corleone. Gentlemen, gentlemen.

Remember you're in the Vatican. Please.

What is it?

Yes.

You will take control.

We gladly put you at the helm of our little fleet.

But our ships must all sail in the same direction.

Otherwise, who can say how long your stay with us will last?

It's not personal.

It's only business.

You should know, Godfather.

If you want to do business with me, I will do business with you.

Fighters, all of you.

We're back with the Borgias.

Uncle Michael.

I heard you were here.

It's so nice to see you.

Vincent, you look so nice.

Listen, what is this with the Borgias? Those days are over, Michael.

Recognize it?

Yeah.

That's where our grandfather got his start. Started as a delivery boy, making

three bucks a week. Three years later, he owned the company.

Only in America.

That's it.

Hey, you've been hiding.

You deserted us, and we need your help so badly.

Well, now I'm back. What can I do for you? Get rid of Job's ass, huh? He sells

drugs. Listen, you know, when I was a young girl, it was different. Now I'm an

older woman, and I'm afraid to walk the streets at night, you know? Where's this

supposed to be at?

Oh, what's going on? He's gone.

We're late.

Don't tell me he's gone.

I'll trust you.

Don't worry about it. Thank you very much.

Enjoy yourself.

What was that?

Neighborhood's in trouble.

Are you keeping your eye out for it?

That's right.

And for me?

From now on.

I missed you all this time. I miss you too, cousin.

I miss growing up with all my cousins.

I didn't even know you when I missed you.

Do you remember stories about our fathers?

The old days?

Yeah, what do you want to know?

What was Sonny like?

He was the prince of the city.

He died before I was born, but I heard a million stories about him. He was a

legend.

What about my father?

He was a great man, your father.

He was a hero. He saved the family.

Vincent. What?

Did he kill his own brother?

So those are all lies?

Just stories, sweetheart.

Okay?

Okay.

I believe you.

I'm glad you're around.

I'm glad you're here, too.

You see me?

I'd like to thank Joey Zaza for writing this and drop him.

Joey Zaza is nothing.

He's a small-time enforcer.

Bluffs, threats, nothing.

You'll be able to see him coming a mile away.

We should kill him before he comes. No!

Never hate your enemies.

It affects your judgment.

Nice to see you again, Mr.

Galeanos.

We trusted you to manage our money in the casinos.

It's not even 20 years you sold the casinos and you made fortunes for all of

us. Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo!

Thank you.

Friends, I have come here because our business together is done.

We have prospered, and now it is time for us to dissolve the business

relationship between us.

That's it.

But I do have a little surprise, Al.

Your shares in the casino.

I thought I'd cut through all the red tape so you could get your money right

away.

$50 million.

Not everybody gets the same. It depends on how much you invested and how long

for. Michael, this is really generous.

Oh, wonderful.

Grazie. Hey, Parisi.

How much did you invest?

I don't remember. Michael, you're blessed.

My family has done much of the hard work, taken many

risks, all to make money for the rest of the families.

You all know Joey Zasa.

He is, I admit, an important man.

His picture is on the cover of the New York Times magazine.

He gets the Esquire magazine award for the best-dressed gangster.

The newspapers praise him because he hires blacks into his family, which

shows he has a good heart.

He is famous.

Who knows?

Maybe one day he will make all of you popular.

It's true.

I make more of a bella figura.

That is my nature. But I also want to make a move into legitimate enterprises.

I'd like to get a little pin from the Pope.

Sure.

I take the blacks and the Spanish into my family because that's

America.

And you guarantee that they don't deal drugs in those neighborhoods.

I don't guarantee that.

I guarantee I'll kill anybody who does.

Let me talk to him. Let me talk to him.

Who can refuse Don Altabella?

Joey, are you... No!

I say to all of you, I have been treated this day with no respect.

I've earned you all money.

I've made you rich.

And I asked for little. Good.

You will not give.

I'll take.

As for Don Corleone, well, he makes it very clear to me today

that he is my enemy.

You must choose between us.

Hey, Joey!

No, Joey. No, Joey!

We could reason together.

No.

Please.

Let's agree.

He doesn't know what he's... No, no.

Michael,

Michael. The news is everywhere.

Everyone is saying that you control Immobiliari.

Let's go. Let's get out of here!

My coat! Forget your coat! It's my lucky coat!

My lucky coat!

Swing!

You're good, Vincent. Gracias.

The old dons were pretty much wiped out.

The ones that survived made deals with Joey Zaza.

Altamelo. He survived.

He's with his daughters now in Staten Island.

Says he's gonna retire at the system.

Joe Zaza would never put something like this without the backing.

He's just muscle. He's an enforcer. He's nothing.

He doesn't have the wit for that helicopter attack.

He doesn't even have the ambition to wipe out the whole commission.

Certainly not the balls.

I say we hit back and take Saza out.

Never let anyone know what you're thinking.

All right, let's get a message to Joe's house.

I respect what he's done.

The new overthrows the old.

It's natural.

How can you do business with this guy?

I'm a businessman, first and foremost.

I want no further conflict with him.

You tell him from me that he can live or he can die. Vincent, will you shut up?

He always does.

He can't be doing this alone.

Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.

Our true enemy has not yet shown his face.

Michael! Michael!

I don't know.

Has he got his medicine? I don't know what he's got.

I got my... I got my wind back. I got my wind back. Okay.

Run. Run, run, run!

Vincent! Run if Thunder can't hurt! Thunder can't hurt!

I must know it!

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit! Oh, fuck!

Oh, fuck!

I'll call Kay.

Good evening, sir. Can we wait here? We'll be back in a few minutes.

Mr.

Harrison, you said it was urgent.

Have you come to confess your sins?

Michael Corleone has suffered a diabetic stroke. I thought you'd have known that

before you read it in the papers.

Oh, no. He's in a coma on a critical list.

I'm here to insist the deal goes through in any event.

The Pope has not much time left.

So, as you, I am in a difficult position.

We have to ratify this deal as soon as possible.

We have an understanding.

Good.

I'm going to the hospital.

I'll pray for Mr. Corleone. Thank you.

Our thoughts are with Mr. Corleone. Thank you, Father John.

Everything will be out in the open if Corleone dies.

Play for time, kind sir.

A habit born of a long contemplation of eternity.

Just forget about it, Benny. Why? Why are we gonna forget about it? It's a

simple hit.

Look, I'd love to smack Joey's ass and then whack the bag, okay?

But it's impossible.

He's always mingling with people in front of TV cameras in his own

neighborhood. It's impossible.

It's not impossible. It'll work for us. How?

You think he's gonna let Uncle Michael survive this thing?

Would you?

No. He may not survive anyway.

How would you do it? I'd do it. I'd do it myself.

Do it.

Hello, Michael.

It's Kay.

Kay.

I never expected you.

No, I know. I know.

But I'm here.

You know, this is the first time I've seen you look so helpless.

Not so bad, really.

I feel I'm getting wiser now.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

The sicker you get, the wiser you get, huh?

When I'm dead, I'm going to be really smart.

Michael, I want to thank you for Tony.

He's doing really well.

He's gotten some very good notices, and he's going to be making his operatic

debut in Sicily and Palermo this Easter.

So thank you. Oh, that's a real honor.

I won't miss that.

Mary?

Tony?

Go see Dad.

Mary, come here.

Everything's gonna be all right. Hey, Dad.

Tony. How you doing, Pop?

Come here.

Your brother told me.

She told me what happened. About Palermo? I really want you to be there,

Dad.

No, he isn't here. Why don't you, why don't you call his apartment, leave a

message on his machine?

It's your cousin, Mary.

Let her in.

Hi, cuz.

Hi. Just thought I'd drop by, is that okay?

I'm gonna go get the guys.

No, it's not okay.

Shouldn't have come, Mary.

Couple minutes only, okay?

You look beautiful, cuz.

So this is your club?

Your hideout?

Yeah.

Can I check it out?

It's so strange, just me and Aunt Connie in the house.

I feel better when I'm with you.

What's wrong, sweetheart?

I'm really scared about my father.

Don't be scared. When I saw them take him out of that ambulance, I thought he

was dead.

I know. Everybody says he's gonna be better.

Don't worry, okay?

I remember them shooting at our house when I was little.

Then Al Neary came one time with other bodyguards and just took me and Tony

away.

Is it all happening again?

I like that, sweetie.

Why are you hiding here?

Is something gonna happen to you?

Nothing's gonna happen to me, Christina.

We'll take care of you.

Can I stay here and hide out with you for a while? Can you help me make the

other people the boys?

No, I don't know how to cook.

But I'll help.

Okay.

I love you too guys That is good

Hold

me

You know, the people like you in the press, the police, use words like mafia,

Cosa Nostra. This is a fantasy.

Italian-Americans are great people.

We laid the bricks that built this city. We have the artists. We have Meucci. He

invented the telephone. We have Don Amici, who played the guy who invented

the telephone, huh?

So listen, come on, buy yourself a nice raffle ticket. Maybe you'll win yourself

a Cadillac.

The sausage is wonderful.

There, have a sandwich.

Let's go.

Nice to see you, Mr. Plaza.

Have a nice day.

Forget to buy your raffle tickets, huh?

Hey, hey, hey.

What are you doing?

Look at him, man.

He's sorry. Okay, come here. Tell him he's sorry. Okay, let's go.

What's up? How are you?

Hey, how are you? Buddy boy, huh?

Hey, Joey Zaza!

Joey, up your ass!

Hey!

Who is this? Who's he talking to? Hey, Norris.

Hey, Joey, who's gonna win the car, huh? The Ant?

Hey!

This is the thing that gives the Italian-Americans a bad name, huh?

Calfoni like this, huh?

Hey, Joey, up your ass!

Hey, once you get off of that fucking car, are you gonna wrap a ticket?

Hey, Joey, take a good look at my raffle ticket.

Here we go. Hey, here's what I think of you and your raffle ticket.

I told you, get the fuck out of here. Break your fucking drawer. You know what

I'm saying, son?

I want you to get the fuck out of here. Get out of here. Get out of here.

You piece of shit!

Ever again.

Give that kind of order.

Not while I'm alive.

Understand?

You were too sick to make a decision.

I gotta go ahead from Neary.

I gotta go ahead from Connie.

It was the right decision, Uncle Mike.

It was the wrong decision.

I command this family, right or wrong, it was not

what I wanted!

Do you understand?

Yes.

Yes.

Good.

Vincent, help me to my bed. I want to talk to you alone for a minute.

You know, I always felt responsible for you.

You know that.

Your father, my brother.

We were opposites.

We would fight, now you.

But I never doubted his love.

He would do anything for me.

But his temper... Too much.

Clouded his reason.

I don't want you to make that mistake.

Also...

He too had a way with women.

Vincent.

So I hear.

What are you doing with my daughter?

What are you doing with her?

It's too dangerous.

When they come,

they'll come with what you love.

Michael, you must lead another life.

You have everything a man could desire.

It's time for you to retire.

I have too much responsibility.

Immobiliare. Si.

Too difficult now.

You should really get out.

What do you know about those Petzl and Avante in Italy?

I'm too old to know anything about those new people.

I must accept my age and grow my olives and tomatoes.

We're not that old.

But you're very ill.

Let me see what can be done.

Let me work to make your path a little easier.

Your friendship does that always.

That makes me happy.

Joey Zaza, you were wrong about him.

I trust too much. That's always been my fault.

Michael, treachery is everywhere.

You still have your fingers on the strings even now.

Let's see more of each other.

Michael, in Sicily. In Sicily.

In Sicily.

In Sicily. In Sicily.

My old friend.

I wanted to bring you here so that my old friend and protector Don Tomasino

could advise us.

A

bloodbath

in Atlantic City left New York a mess.

Now, Joey's eyes at least was running a fairly tight ship.

But now that he's out of the picture, we're obligated to step in. Step back

in? If we don't, Chinese, Colombians will.

Our ships must all sail in the same direction.

Italian politics have had these kind of men for centuries.

They're the true mafia.

The Archbishop and the Vatican Bank, that's the big problem.

They're the same problem.

P.J., they're connected.

The Archbishop has very powerful friends.

They totally protect him.

I will go see this Cardinal Lambetto and see if we can work things out in a

civilized way.

You honor your agreements, but these people you're dealing with are crooks.

They have no honor.

My world is fine.

I've invited you all here.

to celebrate my son's first appearance in an opera house.

He will be appearing in about three weeks in the opera

Cavallaria Rusticana.

It's Cavallaria Rusticana, Dad.

Cavallaria. I think I got tickets in the wrong house.

I've been in New York too long. Anyway, you will all receive tickets.

So come on, Tom.

Dad, I've got a present for you.

Posso? Oui.

Grazie.

It comes from the town of Coriglione, and it's authentic Sicilian.

And I learned it for you.

Foco che si consuma come il mio cuore.

L'anima piange, dolorata.

Non si dà pace, ma chi m'ha la nottata.

Il tempo passa, ma non è giorno.

Here I sing my song.

She was wonderful, beautiful, I loved her.

And then she died.

My trusted bodyguard.

I had a bomb in my car.

She drove it before I did.

Why is such a beautiful country so violent?

History.

You know, Mom was telling me about the old days when your biggest worry was

just passing exams.

Yes, it was then.

I worry about you now.

Oh, Mary.

Mary, you're such a warm-hearted girl. You always were.

I love my family.

Even your cousin did.

I really love him.

He's your first cousin.

Then I love him first.

Mary, you can't see him.

Just don't see him anymore.

He's right.

It's too dangerous.

Mary, listen to me. You can't see him anymore.

Not in that fashion.

No.

Please, promise me.

No. Obey me on this, Mary.

No, Dad.

Mary's smart, Dad.

She'll understand eventually.

You wanna

see

me? Yeah.

I want you to do something for me. Okay. It's dangerous.

Good.

I'm in.

What do you need?

I want you to sell your soul to Don Altabello.

To betray me.

You'd never believe me.

Here. That depends.

Sit down.

I have an idea.

See if you can learn how high Altabello is connected.

You arrange a meeting.

You say how devoted you are to me.

Tell him your problems.

You ask for his help.

What problems?

That you want to run away with my daughter.

Only you know that if you do, I will become your enemy.

No, I never do that, Uncle Mike.

I know.

You ask Altabella to speak to me to further the marriage.

But you're cousins, Ectoro.

Michael was always a little old-fashioned.

Explain to him how you could never be part of my legitimate world, that you

want your own family.

I could stray now with your exhaustive appetite.

You could use your friendship to persuade him.

I would be indebted to you forever.

Corleone, you know the value of such a friend.

So then you would work for me?

Si.

I bet you no mind.

Remember, if he hints that he wants you to betray me, get insulted.

Because that's his trap.

You're not telling me the whole truth, Vincenzo.

Isn't it true, with Michael gone, the girl controls everything?

You'll leave the girl out of this.

Well, of course you love her, and she loves you.

I guessed it, Vincenzo. Man.

Well, you're a wise man, Donatello.

I'm going to be learning a lot from you.

The richest man is the one with the most powerful friends.

It's my duty to make the introductions.

What's he doing?

Don't look easy.

Benotobelo tells me have good character, strong.

A man of respect.

This is the hero who put Joey Saza in his grave.

If we'd known of his existence, we would never have bad Joey.

No one wants another Joe.

Let me be your friend.

Even the strongest man needs friends.

I'm flattered.

You're a man of finance and politics, Don Lucchesi. These are things I don't

understand.

You understand guns.

Finance is a gun.

Politics is knowing when to put the trigger.

How can I help?

Vieni.

Bless her is the peace, Michael.

For he can be called the child of God.

I trusted this business arrangement with the Archbishop.

I trusted him, I was sure.

His honesty was beyond a doubt.

But, as you see, I'm now the victim of a swindle.

They're stalling me.

Vast monies have gone to the Pezzinavanti in high political places,

and the Vatican Bank is the guarantor. If what you say is true, there will be a

great scandal.

Look at this stone.

It has been lying in the water for a very long time, but the water has not

penetrated it.

Perfectly dry.

The same thing has happened to men in Europe for centuries.

They have been surrounded by Christianity.

But Christ has not penetrated.

Christ doesn't live within them.

What happened?

Is it possible that you could get me something sweet? Some orange juice,

anything? Candy?

Per favore, una salmonella d'arancia e dei dolci.

When I'm under stress, sometimes this happens.

I understand.

To come to you on such a delicate matter...

Accusations against your Archbishop was

difficult for me.

The mind suffers, and the body cries out.

Would you like to make your confession?

Your Eminence, I'm... I'm, uh... It's been so

long. I would... I wouldn't... I wouldn't know where to, uh... It's been

30 years.

I'd use up too much of your time, I think.

I always have time to save souls.

Well, I'm beyond redemption.

I hear

the confessions of my own priests

here.

Sometimes the desire to confess is overwhelming.

And we must seize the moment.

What is the point of confessing if I don't repent?

I hear you are a practical man.

What have you got to lose?

I betrayed myself.

I killed men.

It's useless.

Go on, Mason.

I killed...

I ordered the death of my

brother.

He injured me.

I killed my mother's son.

I killed my father's son.

Your sins are terrible.

And it is just that you suffer.

Your life could be redeemed.

But I know that you don't believe that. You will not change.

Amen.

the Roman Catholic Church was shut down following a heart attack last night at 9

.40 p.m.

The 81-year-old Pope suffered from bad health for several months and was

universally respected for his intellectual and spiritual qualities and

for his humility and compassion.

His loss inspires in each of us a very profound...

All my life, I kept trying to go up in society, where everything higher up was

legal, straight.

But the higher I go, the crookeder it gets.

Killing each other for centuries here.

For money.

For pride. For family.

To keep from becoming the slaves of the rich. I made

confession, Connie.

I confessed my sins.

Michael, it's not like you.

You don't have to confess your sins to a stranger.

It was the man.

The good man.

True priest.

He can change things.

Michael.

You know, sometimes I think of poor Fredo.

Drowned.

It was God's will.

It was a terrible accident.

But it's finished.

Michael,

I love you.

I'll always help you.

Welcome, boss.

I'm very honored, I'm very happy that you have made all this way from Palermo

to come and find me.

Hey, what a pizzeria!

It's grown!

You have a shank!

It's been a while since we agreed to do business together.

You are my ace in the hole, as they say in America.

You have a thorn in your throat that you will have to remove.

Just one thorn?

It's a dangerous thing.

A famous man who wants you to be very careful.

Tell me what I did.

And I'll do my part.

Only found in Sicily.

Cheers. To the death of two.

How are you?

Mary, I've missed you.

Well, hello, Michael.

Hello. Mom, look at this.

Oh, my.

You know, it's too bad that Douglas couldn't be with us. No, no, I know. He

wanted to come very much, but he had a very important trial. I know he wanted

to come. I know.

Well,

your son's an artist, huh?

Oh, yes.

Thanks to you. Oh, what for?

For making me let him go.

Oh, well.

After all these years, here I am in Sicily for the first time. I want to get

a picture of you together. Oh, okay.

Hey, Dad. Smile.

I see you still have El Neri.

Why?

Well, I need him.

Helps me get in and out of the car.

Carry my briefcase.

You're still a liar, Michael.

Let me show you a system.

A real system.

Maybe you'll understand the family history.

Oh, I think I understand it well enough.

No Anthony I have

something you made for me very long time ago

Thank you, Dad.

Are they as good as they look?

They're better.

They're the best.

As long as they're around, Uncle Michael is safe.

Bye. Bye. Bye.

I'll see you.

Tell your father I'll be back for dinner.

Okay.

Have fun. And tell Tony to be sure and wait for me.

Okay, I will.

Bye, Mom.

Buongiorno, signora.

At your service.

If I see Dad, I'll tell him you left.

You're the only one left in this family with my father's strength.

If anything happens to Michael, I want you to strike back.

I'll have everything ready.

You swear?

I swear to you.

A house where my father was born.

This is where they came to take him when he was a boy.

Kill him.

Wait.

What's all that?

Huh?

He's in love.

Yes, I know.

With a handsome young Italian man, dark eyes.

I won't allow it.

It's wrong.

It's wrong.

And it's dangerous.

Honor,

huh?

You know, I remember the time that you came to my parents' house and you took

me into that room and you told me about the family business and how you're never

going to have anything to do with it.

You sounded like Tony.

I was a lot like Tony.

I can barely see it. Kay. What?

Come in and drive me. No, it's fine.

My eyes, sometimes they're all right.

Listen,

I have to see Don Tomasino.

Oh, my God.

Well, there's no bodyguards today.

I really snuck away.

Venite, salite.

Io te riconosco.

Tu sei Mosca di Montelepre.

Eri un assassino. E lo sei tutt'ora, un assassino.

Io so che c'è Don Michele Corleone a casa tua.

Posso passare due cancelli con te?

Fai tu so.

Cullenci!

Hi,

this is Carlo, my old friend. One of my bodyguards in the old days.

We can wait here. You want a drink? Yes.

Shall we go in?

I spent a lot of time in this room.

And then you got married.

I still thought of you.

What's in that room?

You know, this is dangerous for you, Michael.

This is Sicily.

I love this country.

Why?

Well, all through history,

Terrible things have happened to these people.

Terrible injustices.

But they still expect good rather than bad will happen to them.

Sort of like me and you, huh?

How so?

Well, I'm still here, right?

We do have a bad history.

I'm still here.

Oh, yes, you are. But with dread.

Give me the order. Come on.

Give it to me. What is that supposed to do? Is that supposed to make me not

dread you?

We're in Sicily. It's awkward.

Okay.

What do we do now?

Be reasonable.

Let's try not to hurt each other.

For what?

Everything.

Oh, like God, huh?

Oh, I need something a little closer.

You couldn't understand back in those days.

I loved my father.

I swore I would never be a man like him, but I loved him, and he was in danger.

You were in danger.

Our children were in danger. What could I do?

You were all that I loved, valued most in the world.

And now I'm losing you. I lost you anyway.

You're gone.

And it was all for nothing.

So... You have to understand, I...

I had a whole different destiny planned.

All right, I'll stop.

I really don't know what you want from me, Michael. I really don't know.

I mean...

Don't dread me anymore.

You know, every night here in Sicily, I

dream about my wife and my children.

How I lost them.

I guess if...

If it's any consolation, I want you to know that I

always loved you, Michael.

And you know, I always will.

What are you doing?

I will avenge him.

Voti novantanove.

No, no.

Frederick Kainzig, known for a decade as God's banker, has been reported missing.

He was last seen three days ago, leaving the Rome offices of the Vatican-owned

corporation, International Immobiliari.

Also missing was a large sum of money in several documents.

Mr. Kinzig's absence casts further suspicion on the dealings of the Vatican

Bank. For several years, the bank and its subsidiary companies have been the

object of allegations of disreputable business practices.

These practices include... Will you please try and understand?

I have phoned him. I have waited here by the phone.

You would do well to remember, Mr. Kinzig.

This pope has very different ideas from the last one.

Closer to my dream.

You were so loved on Tonicino.

Why was I so feared and you so loved?

What was it?

I was no less honorable.

I wanted to go.

What betrayed me, my mind, my heart?

Why do I condemn myself so?

I swear on the lives of my children.

Give me a chance to redeem myself.

The world's in.

It's not just a bad banking deal.

These guys are butchers.

What guys?

Casey.

He controls all of them. Dr. Bellow.

George Bishop.

Other people. High Rob. B2, maybe.

Secret unknown.

They're running things.

He's hired a professional assassin to kill you.

He's Sicilian.

I don't know his name.

But they say he never fails.

Then no one is safe.

Even the new Pope is in danger.

But we still have time.

To keep everything from coming to this.

No, it's not possible.

Not in this world.

Give me the order.

I want the power to preserve the family.

It's done.

Because I can't do it anymore.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Bitzer knows what to do.

Come on outside.

Take a rest.

And don't think about it.

All I do is think about it. I'm your son.

Command me in all things.

Give up my daughter.

It's the price you pay for the life you choose.

Nephew, from this moment on, call yourself Vincent Corleone.

Don Vincenzo Don

Corleone

Don Vincenzo Corleone

Thank you.

I know how you feel about Michael.

But you can't save him.

He's lost.

Think of yourself.

What's your answer, Vincent?

Enjoy the opera.

It's all taken care of.

Check the bar and I'll check the top floor.

Here's hoping Tony sings better at Teatro Massimo than he does in the

shower. Love, Douglas.

This is a great occasion.

Happy birthday.

You're 80 years old. You don't look more than 60. You're the only one who

remembers. Michael, we just got the word.

The Pope's ratified the Immobiliari deal. We've won.

Congratulations.

How strange, the way things work.

The Pope's doing exactly what you said you'd do. He's cleaning house.

You should be careful.

It's dangerous to be an honest man.

I want to put a little muscle backstage with Tony.

On your birthday, you used to shower me with treats.

Tootsie rolls.

The lambs who made these cannolis took a vow of silence.

They had a very fine time.

Hey.

Hey, cousin.

Hi.

Hi. How was your weather?

You are so thin.

You eat it.

È

buono.

Grazie.

Grazie.

It's over, Mary.

The things I have to do, you can't be a part of.

Don't be a father. It's not your father's decision. It's mine.

Don't hate your father.

The things I'm gonna be a part of, you can't be around.

After tonight, you won't see me anymore.

You gotta understand, man. You gotta understand.

Love somebody else

Fuck!

Thank you.

The house of Mr. Lucchese? Yes.

I bring a message from Michael from Corleone.

Let him in.

O Marilola, veni andate via, senza nemmeno salutare.

Buenos dias. Buenos dias.

A piece vostro.

Check out this guy out there.

All right.

Presto.

I'll still blow the iron on you!

Tonight the Corleone family settles its accounts.

Klein sick.

That little Swiss banker, fuck.

He's been swindling everyone from the beginning.

Fuck him.

Don't look, Casey, my friend.

Calla will pay him a visit at his home.

Neary, take a train to Rome.

Light a candle for the Archbishop.

This is for Vincenzo Colleone!

There's a plot against the Pope. You mean he's going to have a heart attack

in the night?

This Pope has powerful enemies.

We may not be in time to save him.

Let's go back to the opera.

Posso? Santità? Posso?

Eminenza?

Eminenza?

Eminenza?

Il suo padre!

Il suo padre è morto!

Oh

He has no faith in God anymore.

What does it mean to the people? What does it mean to the people?

So, the message of Michael to Leone.

It's a very important thing.

But I have to say it to your ear.

It's clean.

I'll let you go!

Like this I figured you thank you say hello

Can I please talk to you now? Not now, Mary. It's not a good time.

You're just like my father. Come on, stay with your family. Go on.

Talk to me. The twins are dead.

In about one minute, there's going to be Carabinieri crawling all over this

place.

Okay, let's get everybody to the cars, nice and quiet.

Got it. Quiet.

The other day, we were only gonna think of this.

Dad?

You don't have to do this to me, please

Fate isn't kind to lovers.

It breaks the hardest heart.

Destiny seems to whisper It

won't stay like this

Whenever

we're together I

feel time standing still

We should lose.

Whenever we're together I

feel time standing still
