714
00:31:26,058 --> 00:31:28,234
We're calling it...
715
00:31:28,364 --> 00:31:30,366
"Part II."
716
00:31:30,497 --> 00:31:31,411
BOB:
Well, I love it.
717
00:31:31,541 --> 00:31:34,109
Sells the saga.
718
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,200
So, come on,
what--what are you thinking?
719
00:31:38,331 --> 00:31:41,551
Vito Corleone is not dead.
720
00:31:43,379 --> 00:31:44,380
I'm sorry?
721
00:31:44,511 --> 00:31:46,034
They put him
in the fucking ground.
722
00:31:46,165 --> 00:31:47,644
What are you talking about?
Is he a ghost?
723
00:31:47,775 --> 00:31:50,865
'Cause Brando will not--
will not play a fucking ghost.
724
00:31:50,996 --> 00:31:53,563
The old man is dead,
725
00:31:53,694 --> 00:31:57,263
but the young man
who first comes to America...
726
00:31:57,393 --> 00:31:58,873
is alive.
727
00:31:59,004 --> 00:32:00,614
FRANCIS: It takes place
turn of the century,
728
00:32:00,744 --> 00:32:02,616
young immigrant Vito,
729
00:32:02,746 --> 00:32:05,271
who, with a sense of justice
and brutality,
730
00:32:05,401 --> 00:32:08,100
becomes the feared
and powerful businessman.
731
00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:11,059
It's still a commentary
on capitalism.
732
00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:14,280
Ruddy doesn't like it.
You don't like it?
733
00:32:14,410 --> 00:32:15,585
No, no.
734
00:32:16,978 --> 00:32:17,936
I think everything you guys
are saying sounds great,
735
00:32:18,066 --> 00:32:20,286
but, uh, I mean, no Michael.
736
00:32:20,416 --> 00:32:22,114
No Michael?
of course, Michael.
737
00:32:22,244 --> 00:32:23,854
He--he's the Don now.
738
00:32:23,985 --> 00:32:25,421
Oh, thank fuck.
739
00:32:25,552 --> 00:32:27,380
FRANCIS: Takes place in
the two time periods
740
00:32:27,510 --> 00:32:29,164
so we can play
the juxtaposition
741
00:32:29,295 --> 00:32:31,819
of Vito Corleone building up
his family, his empire,
742
00:32:31,950 --> 00:32:34,387
while Michael watches
his family fracture.
743
00:32:34,517 --> 00:32:37,346
It's just like this country
as it hurdles toward the '60s.
744
00:32:37,477 --> 00:32:39,958
Well, I can see you haven't
given this much thought.
745
00:32:40,088 --> 00:32:41,524
No, none.
[chuckles]
746
00:32:41,655 --> 00:32:44,397
BOB: Come on, keep going.
You got me. I'm interested.
747
00:32:44,527 --> 00:32:46,355
PERSON ON TV: Many of them
leaving a year to the day
748
00:32:46,486 --> 00:32:49,184
from the time they arrived.
749
00:32:49,315 --> 00:32:51,056
Ruddy, the TV's here.
750
00:32:51,186 --> 00:32:53,014
That's the fireplace.Elizabeth Taylor.
751
00:32:53,145 --> 00:32:55,756
Oh, I love Liz.
752
00:32:55,886 --> 00:32:56,844
That was a fun night.
753
00:32:56,975 --> 00:32:59,455
You know,
I saw her one time.
754
00:32:59,586 --> 00:33:01,762
It was right before
I pitched "Hogan's Heroes,"
755
00:33:01,892 --> 00:33:04,721
and she took my breath away.
756
00:33:04,852 --> 00:33:06,288
Feels like 100 years ago now.
757
00:33:06,419 --> 00:33:07,942
Well, that's because
you're not on the outside
758
00:33:08,073 --> 00:33:10,031
looking in anymore.Oh, come on.
759
00:33:10,162 --> 00:33:12,033
You never get used to
Liz Taylor, right?
760
00:33:12,164 --> 00:33:14,557
That's right.
You never do.
761
00:33:14,688 --> 00:33:15,689
Ooh.
762
00:33:15,819 --> 00:33:17,256
But before we tell you
763
00:33:17,386 --> 00:33:19,432
about the sunny
Southern California weather,
764
00:33:19,562 --> 00:33:21,477
let's find out which pictures
were nominated
765
00:33:21,608 --> 00:33:24,002
for this year's
45th Academy Awards.
766
00:33:24,132 --> 00:33:25,090
Gigantic long shot.
767
00:33:25,220 --> 00:33:26,395
Doesn't even matter.Not at all.
768
00:33:26,526 --> 00:33:28,789
Biggest box office
of all time.
769
00:33:28,919 --> 00:33:31,096
We already won.
770
00:33:31,226 --> 00:33:33,011
PERSON ON TV:
First up, the nominees chosen
771
00:33:33,141 --> 00:33:34,360
by members of the Academy
772
00:33:34,490 --> 00:33:36,797
for Actress
in a Supporting Role.
773
00:33:36,927 --> 00:33:42,411
Here's to
11 fucking nominations.
774
00:33:42,542 --> 00:33:44,805
[glasses clink]Unbelievable.
775
00:33:44,935 --> 00:33:47,025
Oh.Oh, now, that is nice.
776
00:33:47,155 --> 00:33:48,765
That's a 1954 Macallan
Single Malt,
777
00:33:48,896 --> 00:33:50,115
aged in God's finest barrel.
778
00:33:50,245 --> 00:33:52,769
Special drink
for a special occasion.
779
00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:54,119
Ooh.
780
00:33:54,249 --> 00:33:56,860
I'm only gonna say this, Ruddy.
781
00:33:56,991 --> 00:33:59,167
I want this so bad,
782
00:33:59,298 --> 00:34:02,040
I will fuck the entire Academy
if I have to.
783
00:34:02,170 --> 00:34:03,693
What happened to
"we already won"?
784
00:34:03,824 --> 00:34:05,086
[chuckles]
Sure, sure.
785
00:34:05,217 --> 00:34:08,046
But there are other prizes
to be had now.
786
00:34:08,176 --> 00:34:09,830
You're still talking
about the Oscars?
787
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,266
Hey, I got plans.
788
00:34:11,397 --> 00:34:12,702
I've just been waiting
for the right time,
789
00:34:14,226 --> 00:34:16,706
and that right time is coming
soon to a theater near you.
790
00:34:16,837 --> 00:34:17,968
[ice clinks]Thank you.
791
00:34:18,099 --> 00:34:20,319
And for you, too,
Oscar changes everything.
792
00:34:20,449 --> 00:34:21,972
You're in a different
category now.
793
00:34:22,103 --> 00:34:23,365
This is your moment.
794
00:34:23,496 --> 00:34:26,194
And when they call the
nominations for Best Picture,
795
00:34:26,325 --> 00:34:30,242
it'll be your ugly mug on TV,
not mine, you.
796
00:34:30,372 --> 00:34:31,547
Unless, of course,
I'm sitting next to you,
797
00:34:31,678 --> 00:34:33,854
which, by the way,
I'll be sitting next to you.
798
00:34:33,984 --> 00:34:35,769
[both chuckle]
799
00:34:35,899 --> 00:34:37,640
BOB:
Oh, shit.
800
00:34:37,771 --> 00:34:39,251
People are gonna start
promising you things.
801
00:34:39,381 --> 00:34:41,079
They're gonna wine
and dine you.
802
00:34:41,209 --> 00:34:44,299
But between all the glamour
803
00:34:44,430 --> 00:34:45,953
and all the bullshit,
804
00:34:46,084 --> 00:34:48,303
remember, you hold the keys.
805
00:34:48,434 --> 00:34:50,088
It's what you want
that matters.
806
00:34:50,218 --> 00:34:52,351
Trust your gut.
It's what got you here.
807
00:34:52,481 --> 00:34:55,354
I told you once,
some people have brains,
808
00:34:55,484 --> 00:34:58,966
some people have balls,
but you have both.
809
00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:00,968
Don't forget that.
810
00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:04,102
Salute.Salute.
811
00:35:04,232 --> 00:35:05,668
BETTYE: Stevie Phillips
wants to set up a call
812
00:35:05,799 --> 00:35:08,323
to discuss talent
for "The Godfather II."
813
00:35:08,454 --> 00:35:10,325
Um, Stevie Phillips
is gonna have to wait.
814
00:35:10,456 --> 00:35:12,806
I'm a little slammed today.
815
00:35:12,936 --> 00:35:14,286
You also have a call
set up on Monday
816
00:35:14,416 --> 00:35:15,678
with Francis and Mario.
817
00:35:15,809 --> 00:35:17,811
They want to pitch you
some new ideas.
818
00:35:17,941 --> 00:35:19,247
Burt Reynolds also called.
819
00:35:19,378 --> 00:35:21,031
He wants to know
if you found a writer yet.
820
00:35:21,162 --> 00:35:24,600
He says his window
is closing.
821
00:35:24,731 --> 00:35:26,472
Okay.
822
00:35:26,602 --> 00:35:28,691
We're gonna find
a writer, Al.
823
00:35:28,822 --> 00:35:30,519
It's not that.
824
00:35:30,650 --> 00:35:33,740
I'm just afraid the sequel's
gonna kill my other movie.
825
00:35:33,870 --> 00:35:36,134
I don't understand.
826
00:35:36,264 --> 00:35:38,266
You know how it goes.
827
00:35:38,397 --> 00:35:39,398
If I do "The Godfather,"
828
00:35:40,573 --> 00:35:41,139
it's gonna take up
every aspect of my life.
829
00:35:42,052 --> 00:35:42,879
And then I got to wait, what?
830
00:35:44,533 --> 00:35:46,883
A year, year and a half until
I can get my own movie going.
831
00:35:47,014 --> 00:35:48,537
I'm gonna lose Burt.
832
00:35:48,668 --> 00:35:49,538
You can do both.
833
00:35:49,669 --> 00:35:51,061
Producers do that all the time.
834
00:35:51,192 --> 00:35:53,151
Well, not this one.
835
00:35:53,281 --> 00:35:55,675
I can't do something halfway.
836
00:35:55,805 --> 00:35:58,286
I know.
837
00:35:58,417 --> 00:36:01,463
Oh, hey, before I forget...
838
00:36:03,596 --> 00:36:07,121
Meet me at this address today
in Beverly Hills, 2:00.
839
00:36:07,252 --> 00:36:08,818
You got it.
840
00:36:13,432 --> 00:36:15,912
PERSON:
Al Ruddy?
841
00:36:16,043 --> 00:36:18,263
Yeah.
842
00:36:18,393 --> 00:36:20,265
My name's Eddie Kurland.
843
00:36:20,395 --> 00:36:21,918
I'm sorry to be approaching you
like this.
844
00:36:22,049 --> 00:36:24,269
It was just the only chance
I could get to talk to you.
845
00:36:24,399 --> 00:36:26,096
Your secretary's really tough.
846
00:36:26,227 --> 00:36:28,142
You a caterer?
847
00:36:28,273 --> 00:36:30,100
It's the only way
I could get on the lot.
848
00:36:30,231 --> 00:36:31,189
Okay.
849
00:36:31,319 --> 00:36:34,627
I want to do what you do--
make movies.
850
00:36:34,757 --> 00:36:38,065
Here's some advice, kid.
Do something easier. Trust me.
851
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:40,285
Yeah, I would if I could.
852
00:36:43,462 --> 00:36:45,333
I've seen "The Godfather"
six times.
853
00:36:45,464 --> 00:36:46,856
It changed my life.
854
00:36:46,987 --> 00:36:48,118
I read about the sequel,
855
00:36:48,249 --> 00:36:49,903
and I want to be a part of it,
any way I can.
856
00:36:50,033 --> 00:36:52,340
You got any experience?
857
00:36:52,471 --> 00:36:54,473
I've seen a lot of movies.
858
00:36:55,691 --> 00:36:56,518
Not the same.
859
00:36:57,563 --> 00:36:58,607
You didn't have
any experience.
860
00:36:58,738 --> 00:37:01,131
You were a programmer
at Rand Corporation
861
00:37:01,262 --> 00:37:03,221
when you sold
"Hogan's Heroes," right?
862
00:37:06,180 --> 00:37:08,051
Tell you what...
863
00:37:08,182 --> 00:37:09,705
leave your name and number
at the desk.
864
00:37:09,836 --> 00:37:12,317
If anything comes up,
we'll call you.
865
00:37:12,447 --> 00:37:14,232
Thank you, Mr. Ruddy.
866
00:37:14,362 --> 00:37:16,364
You won't regret this.
867
00:37:16,495 --> 00:37:19,106
Regret what?
I haven't done anything yet.
868
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:20,803
You will.
869
00:37:20,934 --> 00:37:23,153
[engine turning over]
870
00:37:23,284 --> 00:37:25,504
Eddie, this is where
you get out of here.
871
00:37:30,335 --> 00:37:31,858
CHARLIE:
So what does this mean?
872
00:37:31,988 --> 00:37:33,990
You--you're quitting?
873
00:37:34,121 --> 00:37:36,123
No.
874
00:37:36,254 --> 00:37:39,082
Well, what does he mean?
I don't understand.
875
00:37:39,213 --> 00:37:41,476
I think what Bob is pitching
876
00:37:41,607 --> 00:37:43,609
is he remain
the head of Paramount
877
00:37:43,739 --> 00:37:47,265
while also enjoying
a five-picture deal
878
00:37:47,395 --> 00:37:48,744
as a producer.
879
00:37:48,875 --> 00:37:49,745
Did I get that right?
880
00:37:49,876 --> 00:37:52,270
Nail on the head, Barry.What?
881
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,446
That's--that's--
882
00:37:54,576 --> 00:37:56,143
You did it, Bob.
Charlie's speechless.
883
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:57,318
[chuckles]
884
00:37:57,449 --> 00:37:58,841
CHARLIE:
That's two jobs.
885
00:37:58,972 --> 00:38:02,454
How are you gonna do two jobs?
That's unheard of.
886
00:38:02,584 --> 00:38:03,890
No.
887
00:38:04,020 --> 00:38:05,457
No?
What do you mean no?
888
00:38:05,587 --> 00:38:06,675
I can't get him to shut up.

00:56:05,710 --> 00:56:08,365
How do you recreate the Oscars?
1242
00:56:08,495 --> 00:56:11,324
Eleven fucking nominations.
1243
00:56:11,629 --> 00:56:13,457
ADAM:
We were not gonna be filling up
1244
00:56:13,587 --> 00:56:17,504
the Dorothy Chandler
Pavilion with 1,500 extras
1245
00:56:17,635 --> 00:56:19,506
and yet, the Oscars had to be
1246
00:56:19,637 --> 00:56:22,422
a very important
chapter in that story.
1247
00:56:22,553 --> 00:56:23,554
Oscar changes everything.
1248
00:56:23,684 --> 00:56:24,816
This is your moment.
1249
00:56:24,946 --> 00:56:27,122
ADAM: Finding, you know,
cinematic ways
1250
00:56:27,471 --> 00:56:28,950
of honoring
the importance of that
1251
00:56:29,081 --> 00:56:31,692
and what that represented
to all of the characters
1252
00:56:32,127 --> 00:56:33,215
felt very important.
1253
00:56:33,607 --> 00:56:35,653
There was some
really interesting
1254
00:56:35,783 --> 00:56:37,742
and sort of abstract
film choices
1255
00:56:37,872 --> 00:56:40,266
made to do that,
that I think the audience
1256
00:56:40,397 --> 00:56:41,572
will have fun with.
1257
00:56:42,050 --> 00:56:43,051
I told you once,
1258
00:56:43,617 --> 00:56:45,053
some people have brains,
1259
00:56:45,184 --> 00:56:46,794
some people have balls.
1260
00:56:46,925 --> 00:56:47,926
But you have both.
1261
00:56:48,492 --> 00:56:52,452
I think Al remains
true to himself
1262
00:56:52,583 --> 00:56:57,283
and it never was about
chasing any sort of accolade.
1263
00:56:57,414 --> 00:56:58,415
It's our movie, Bob.
1264
00:56:58,763 --> 00:57:00,286
It's your name on
the poster, pal.
1265
00:57:00,417 --> 00:57:03,768
MILES: You know, he had put
so much into The Godfather
1266
00:57:04,203 --> 00:57:06,727
and that went beyond his,
I think, wildest dreams
1267
00:57:06,858 --> 00:57:08,773
of how well it all turned out.
1268
00:57:08,903 --> 00:57:10,557
But he was also a writer.
1269
00:57:10,688 --> 00:57:11,732
BETTYE: A treatment?
1270
00:57:11,863 --> 00:57:13,430
MILES: You know,
with The Longest Yard.
1271
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,040
By Albert S. Ruddy?
1272
00:57:15,170 --> 00:57:16,607
ADAM: It was important to me
1273
00:57:16,737 --> 00:57:18,609
that we leave feeling that Al
1274
00:57:18,739 --> 00:57:21,220
was making the right choice
for him.
1275
00:57:21,350 --> 00:57:22,526
AL: It was a hard choice to make
1276
00:57:22,656 --> 00:57:24,963
but it's the only one
I could live with.
1277
00:57:25,354 --> 00:57:27,008
ADAM: It was challenging in that
1278
00:57:27,139 --> 00:57:30,795
you have this kind of
celebratory final destination
1279
00:57:30,925 --> 00:57:33,319
for the company
and it becomes clear
1280
00:57:33,450 --> 00:57:35,756
that for whatever
his personal reasons,
1281
00:57:35,887 --> 00:57:38,585
that Al feels that his destiny
is somewhere else.
1282
00:57:39,020 --> 00:57:40,761
AL: You took a chance on
me when no one else would
1283
00:57:40,892 --> 00:57:42,502
and I will never forget that.
1284
00:57:42,633 --> 00:57:44,373
But this is
something I gotta do.
1285
00:57:44,765 --> 00:57:46,463
ANTHONY: Other than
the obvious of, you know,
1286
00:57:46,593 --> 00:57:48,769
being able to see
behind the scenes
and how cool that is.
1287
00:57:48,900 --> 00:57:51,206
I think really what
the story is about largely,
1288
00:57:51,337 --> 00:57:54,558
is a person who was
devoted to telling a story
1289
00:57:54,688 --> 00:57:55,646
that they really cared about
1290
00:57:57,212 --> 00:57:58,736
and the lengths
that they went to,
to make it happen.
1291
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,520
I told you we got it.
1292
00:58:00,651 --> 00:58:01,739
We got it.
1293
00:58:01,869 --> 00:58:04,437
It took so much scrappiness.
1294
00:58:04,568 --> 00:58:07,266
It took so much
dedication, ingenuity,
1295
00:58:07,396 --> 00:58:08,528
to make The Godfather.
1296
00:58:08,659 --> 00:58:10,008
ROBERT: Let's enjoy this moment
1297
00:58:10,661 --> 00:58:11,705
because the world
will never forget it.
1298
00:58:13,402 --> 00:58:14,926
MEREDITH: It's one of
the most pivotal moments
in cinema history.
1299
00:58:15,056 --> 00:58:19,234
And I'm so honored to be a
very small, but passionate part
1300
00:58:19,365 --> 00:58:20,540
of the storytelling.
1301
00:58:21,498 --> 00:58:22,934
ANTHONY:
I think now is such a great time
1302
00:58:23,064 --> 00:58:24,675
to share that kind
of a story of a man
1303
00:58:24,805 --> 00:58:27,242
who was so inspired and
went to such great lengths
1304
00:58:27,373 --> 00:58:30,028
to make something that almost
seemed impossible happen.
1305
00:58:30,158 --> 00:58:32,770
Hopefully that inspires
other people
and other filmmakers
1306
00:58:32,900 --> 00:58:34,162
to do the same type of thing.
1307
00:58:34,293 --> 00:58:35,947
ANNOUNCER: And the winner is...
1308
00:58:36,077 --> 00:58:38,689
Albert S. Ruddy,
The Godfather.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
1310
00:58:40,081 --> 00:58:41,605
MILES: The guy,
he just doesn't stop.
1311
00:58:41,735 --> 00:58:43,520
He's really relentless,
and I think
1312
00:58:43,650 --> 00:58:46,479
the fact that he was
able to walk away
1313
00:58:46,610 --> 00:58:48,873
of the rainbow at the end...
1314
00:58:49,003 --> 00:58:50,265
ROBERT: We did it.AL: I know.
1315
00:58:50,396 --> 00:58:51,702
This is just the start.
1316
00:58:51,832 --> 00:58:53,965
We'll do it all over again
with Godfather Part Two.
1317
00:58:54,095 --> 00:58:56,794
MILES: Just being
comfortable enough
with himself in his career
1318
00:58:56,924 --> 00:58:59,013
to be able to walk
away from what he knew
1319
00:58:59,448 --> 00:59:00,493
would be a huge smash.
1320
00:59:00,798 --> 00:59:02,626
That says a lot about the man.
1321
00:59:05,019 --> 00:59:06,847
ALBERT: I'm really proud
to be in this business.
1322
00:59:06,978 --> 00:59:08,153
I really am.
1323
00:59:08,283 --> 00:59:09,284
It means a lot to me.
1324
00:59:10,547 --> 00:59:11,765
When I got my Academy Award
on The Godfather,
1325
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,333
I said,
"Everyone sitting out there,
1326
00:59:14,899 --> 00:59:17,118
who dreams this kinda
thing can happen,
1327
00:59:17,815 --> 00:59:18,685
it can."
1328
00:59:19,904 --> 00:59:20,948
That's what I said,
'cause I believe it.
1329
00:59:21,732 --> 00:59:23,647
If you care, it can.
