[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
[CRYING]
ALL MY RESPECT, DON CICCIO.
DON CICCIO...
YOU KILLED MY HUSBAND BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T GIVE IN TO YOU.
AND HIS OLDEST SON PAOLO...
...BECAUSE HE SWORE REVENGE.
BUT VITO IS ONLY NINE. AND DUMB-WITTED.
HE NEVER SPEAKS.
IT'S NOT HIS WORDS I'M AFRAID OF.
HA HA HA!
HE'S WEAK. HE COULDN'T HURT ANYONE.
BUT WHEN HE GROWS, HE'LL GROW STRONG.
DON'T WORRY. THIS LITTLE BOY CAN'T DO A THING TO YOU.
WHEN HE'S A MAN, HE'LL COME FOR REVENGE.
I BEG YOU, DON CICCIO, SPARE MY ONLY SON.
HE'S ALL I HAVE LEFT.
I SWEAR TO GOD HE'LL NEVER DO YOU ANY HARM. SPARE HIM!
NO.
MOVE AND I'LL KILL HIM!
RUN, VITO!

ANYBODY WHO HIDES THE BOY VITO ANDOLINI IS IN FOR TROUBLE!

-CONSTANZIA, FINALMENTE. -AFTER ONE WEEK?
I SENT THE CAR TO THE AIRPORT LAST WEEK TO PICK YOU UP.
AW, MAMA. IT WAS CHAOS.
ANYWAY, HERE I AM, JUST ONE WEEK LATE.
THIS IS FOR MY MAMA.
WHAT IS THIS?
YOU REMEMBER MERLE.
HELLO, MAMA.
HOW ARE YOU? THANK YOU.
WHERE'S MICHAEL?
WE GOT TO TALK. 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.
[DRUM ROLL AND FANFARE]
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...
FRANK, WAKE UP.
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'S MRS. GEARY.
[APPLAUSE]
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 NOW.
MIKE, PAT--KAY, STAND UP, PLEASE.
LET THE FOLKS SEE YOU.
FOLKS, I WANT YOU TO JOIN WITH ME
IN GIVING A REAL NEVADA THANK-YOU
TO MR. AND MRS. 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.

MY LAWYER TOM HAGEN. SENATOR GEARY.
HE'S THE ONE WHO ARRANGED THIS WHOLE THING
THROUGH YOUR MAN TURNBALL.
YES. YES.
SIT DOWN.
I THOUGHT THAT YOU AND I WOULD TALK ALONE.
I TRUST THESE MEN WITH MY LIFE, SENATOR.
ASKING THEM TO LEAVE WOULD BE AN INSULT.
IT'S PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT WITH ME.
I SHOULD TELL YOU THAT I AM A BLUNT MAN.
I INTEND TO SPEAK FRANKLY-- MAYBE MORE FRANKLY
THAN ANYONE IN MY POSITION HAS EVER TALKED TO YOU.
THE CORLEONE FAMILY HAS DONE WELL IN NEVADA.
YOU OWN OR YOU CONTROL 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 TROPIGALA.
THEY SAY THAT WITHIN A WEEK,
YOU'RE GOING TO MOVE KLINGMAN OUT.
THAT'S QUITE AN EXPANSION.
HOWEVER, IT WILL LEAVE YOU
WITH ONE LITTLE TECHNICAL PROBLEM.
THE LICENSE WILL STILL BE IN KLINGMAN'S NAME.
TURNBULL IS A GOOD MAN.
LET'S CUT OUT THE BULLSHIT.
I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE LONG.
YOU CAN HAVE A LICENSE.
PRICE IS $25O,OOO
PLUS A MONTHLY PAYMENT OF 5% OF THE GROSS
OF ALL FOUR HOTELS,
MR. CORLEONE.
THE PRICE FOR THE LICENSE
IS LESS THAN $2O,OOO.
AM I RIGHT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
WHY WOULD I EVER CONSIDER
PAYING MORE THAN THAT?
I INTEND TO SQUEEZE YOU.
I DON'T LIKE YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE.
I DON'T LIKE TO SEE YOU
IN THIS CLEAN COUNTRY IN YOUR OILY HAIR,
DRESSED UP IN THOSE SILK SUITS.
YOU 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.
SENATOR...
WE'RE BOTH A 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.
LET'S JUST SAY YOU'LL PAY ME
BECAUSE IT'S IN YOUR INTEREST TO,
BUT I WANT YOUR ANSWER IN MONEY BY NOON TOMORROW.
AND ONE MORE THING--
DON'T YOU CONTACT ME AGAIN, EVER.
FROM NOW ON, DEAL WITH TURNBALL.
OPEN THAT DOOR.
SENATOR...
YOU CAN HAVE MY ANSWER NOW.
MY OFFER IS THIS--
NOTHING...
NOT EVEN THE FEE FOR THE GAMING LICENSE,
WHICH I WOULD APPRECIATE
IF YOU WOULD PUT UP PERSONALLY.
HA HA HA!
GOOD AFTERNOON, GENTLEMEN.
LADIES, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE OUT HERE.
HONEY, WE HAVE TO GO. WE'RE 3O MINUTES LATE.
REALLY? I'M SORRY.
MRS. CORLEONE, IT'S BEEN DELIGHTFUL.
OUR PLEASURE.
IT WAS WONDERFUL TALKING TO YOU.
[BAND PLAYING]
FREDO!
FREDO, YOU SON OF A BITCH,
YOU LOOK GREAT!
FRANK PENTANGELI.
I THOUGHT YOU WAS NEVER COMING OUT WEST.
I GOT TO CHECK ON MY BOYS.
HEY, WHAT'S WITH THE FOOD AROUND HERE?
KID COMES UP TO ME IN A WHITE JACKET,
GIVES ME A RITZ CRACKER AND CHOPPED LIVER.
HE SAYS, "CANAPES."
I SAID, "CAN OF PEAS, MY ASS.
THAT'S A RITZ CRACKER AND CHOPPED LIVER."
BRING OUT THE PEPPERS AND SARDINES.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
SEEING YOU REMINDS ME OF NEW YORK,
THE OLD DAYS.
YOU REMEMBER WILLI CICCI?
HE WAS WITH OLD MAN CLEMENZA IN BROOKLYN.
YEAH. LOOK HERE.
WE WERE ALL UPSET ABOUT THAT.
HEART ATTACK, HUH?
NO. NO. THAT 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 NEED A LETTER OF INTRODUCTION?
YOU CAN'T GET IN TO SEE MIKE?
I'M WAITING IN A LOBBY!
JOHNNY OLA.
AL NERI.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
DO YOU KNOW MY LAWYER TOM HAGEN?
JOHNNY OLA.
SURE. I REMEMBER TOM FROM THE OLD DAYS.
ROCCO, WHAT'S THIS?
IT'S AN ORANGE FROM MIAMI.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE CARE OF JOHNNY'S MEN?
THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE HUNGRY.
JOHNNY?
TOM ISN'T GOING TO SIT IN WITH US.
HE ONLY HANDLES SPECIFIC AREAS OF THE FAMILY BUSINESS.
TOM?
SURE, MIKE.
WHAT ARE YOU DRINKING, JOHNNY?
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?
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 BARCLAY--
BEVERLY HILLS ATTORNEYS.
THE REAL OWNERS
ARE THE OLD LAKEVILLE ROAD GROUP FROM CLEVELAND
AND OUR FRIEND IN MIAMI.
MEYER KLINGMAN RUNS THE STORE.
HE OWNS A PIECE OF IT, TOO.
IF YOU MOVE KLINGMAN OUT,
OUR MIAMI FRIEND WILL GO ALONG.
THAT'S VERY KIND OF HIM.
YOU TELL HIM IT'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.
I CAN'T BELIEVE OUT OF 3O PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS,
THERE ISN'T ONE ITALIAN IN THE GROUP HERE.

HOW ARE YOU?
MERLE WAS WITH ME IN VEGAS.
I SAW HIM WITH YOU.
COULD I HAVE A DRINK?
CHE VUOI?
AL, WOULD YOU PLEASE GET HIM A DRINK?
WE'RE GOING TO EUROPE NEXT WEEK.
I'D LIKE TO BOOK PASSAGE ON THE QUEEN.
GO TO A TRAVEL AGENT.
WE'RE GETTING MARRIED.
THE INK ON YOUR DIVORCE ISN'T DRY YET,
AND YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?
DO YOU SEE YOUR CHILDREN ON WEEKENDS?
YOU KNOW YOUR OLDEST BOY VICTOR
WAS PICKED UP IN RENO FOR PETTY THEFT?
YOUR MEN USE YOU LIKE A WHORE.
YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER!
WHY DO YOU COME TO ME?
I NEED MONEY.
CONNIE.
CONNIE. CONNIE.
I WANT TO BE REASONABLE WITH YOU.
NOW, 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'LL HAVE EVERYTHING.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW THIS MERLE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE DOES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW HE LIVES.
TELL HIM MARRIAGE IS OUT OF THE QUESTION
AND YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM ANYMORE.
HE'LL UNDERSTAND. BELIEVE ME.
CONNIE.
IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME
AND MARRY THIS MAN...
YOU'LL DISAPPOINT ME.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
FAMIGLIA.
CENTO ANNI. CENTO ANNI.
WHAT'S CENTO ANNI?
CENTO ANNI.
IT MEANS A HUNDRED YEARS.
IT MEANS WE SHOULD ALL LIVE HAPPILY
FOR A HUNDRED YEARS-- A FAMILY.
IT WOULD BE TRUE IF MY FATHER WERE ALIVE.
MERLE, YOU'VE MET MY SISTER-IN-LAW DEANNA, FREDO'S WIFE.
MY PLEASURE, MERLE.
HOW DO YOU DO? MY PLEASURE.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
WHAT DID SHE MEAN BY THAT?
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
WITH ALL RESPECT, I DIDN'T COME HERE TO EAT DINNER!
I KNOW, I KNOW.
WHAT'S THE MATTER? I JUST WANT TO DANCE.
YOU'RE FALLING ALL OVER THE FLOOR.
YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE HE'S A REAL MAN.
I'M GOING TO BELT YOU IN THE TEETH.
YOU COULDN'T BELT YOUR MAMA.
YOU KNOW, THOSE DAGOS ARE CRAZY
WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR WIVES.
MICHAEL SAYS IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THIS,
I HAVE TO.
I THINK YOU'D BETTER.
WOPS TREAT THEIR WIVES LIKE SHIT.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY WOP.
ROCCO! AAH!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?
HELP!
FREDO!
I CAN'T CONTROL HER, MIKEY.
YOU'RE MY BROTHER, FREDO.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO ME.
CLEMENZA PROMISED THE ROSATO BROTHERS
THREE TERRITORIES IN THE BRONX.
YOU DIDN'T GIVE IT TO THEM.
-I WELCHED? -YOU WELCHED.
CLEMENZA PROMISED THEM NOTHING.
HE HATED THOSE SON OF A BITCHES.
FRANKIE, THEY FEEL CHEATED.
MICHAEL,
YOU'RE SITTING HIGH UP IN THE SIERRA MOUNTAINS,
AND YOU'RE DRINKING-- UH, WHAT'S HE DRINKING?
CHAMPAGNE.
CHAMPAGNE COCKTAILS.
YOU'RE PASSING JUDGMENT ON HOW I RUN MY FAMILY?
TUO FAMIGLIA?
YOUR FAMILY'S STILL CALLED CORLEONE.
AND YOU'LL RUN IT LIKE A CORLEONE.
MY FAMILY DOESN'T EAT HERE, DOESN'T EAT IN LAS VEGAS...
...AND DOESN'T EAT IN MIAMI...
...WITH HYMAN ROTH!
FRANKIE.
YOU'RE A GOOD OLD MAN.
I LIKE YOU,
AND YOU WERE LOYAL TO MY FATHER FOR YEARS.
THE ROSATO BROTHERS, THEY'RE TAKING HOSTAGES.
AND, MIKE, THEY SPIT RIGHT IN MY FACE
BECAUSE THEY'RE BACKED BY THAT JEW IN MIAMI.
I KNOW. THAT'S WHY I DON'T WANT THEM TOUCHED.
YOU DON'T WANT THEM TOUCHED?
I WANT YOU TO BE FAIR WITH THEM.
YOU WANT ME TO BE FAIR WITH THEM?
HOW CAN YOU BE FAIR TO ANIMALS?
FOR CHRIST'S SAKES.
LISTEN. THEY RECRUIT SPICS.
THEY RECRUIT NIGGERS.
YOU KNOW, THEY DO VIOLENCE
IN THEIR GRANDMOTHERS' NEIGHBORHOODS.
I TELL YOU, EVERYTHING WITH THEM IS WHORES.
WHORES AND JUNK! DOPE!
THEY LEAVE THE GAMBLING TO LAST.
I WANT TO RUN MY FAMILY WITHOUT YOU ON MY BACK.
I WANT THOSE ROSATO BROTHERS DEAD.
-NO. -MORTO.
NOW, I HAVE BUSINESS THAT'S IMPORTANT WITH HYMAN ROTH.
I DON'T WANT IT DISTURBED.
THEN YOU'LL GIVE YOUR LOYALTY TO A JEW
BEFORE YOUR OWN BLOOD?
COME ON, FRANKIE.
MY FATHER DID BUSINESS WITH HYMAN ROTH.
HE RESPECTED HIM.
YOUR FATHER DID BUSINESS WITH HIM.
YOUR FATHER RESPECTED HIM,
BUT YOUR FATHER NEVER TRUSTED HYMAN ROTH
OR HIS SICILIAN MESSENGER BOY, JOHNNY OLA.
YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE ME. I'M TIRED, AND I'M A LITTLE DRUNK!
AND I WANT EVERYBODY HERE TO KNOW,
THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE NO TROUBLE FROM ME.
DON CORLEONE.
CICCI, THE DOOR...
[DOOR CLOSES]
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.
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.
DO YOU LIKE IT YES [] NO []
DID YOU SEE THIS?
MM-HMM.
[THUNDER]
MICHAEL, WHY ARE THE DRAPES OPEN?
[GUNS FIRING]
KAY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
WERE YOU HIT?
IT'S OVER. IT'S OVER.
[ALARM RINGING]
STOP! STOP!

PLEASE, MICHAEL. PLEASE, STAY INSIDE.
KEEP THEM ALIVE.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]
YEAH, COME IN.
[DOOR CLOSES]
AHEM.
MIKEY, YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
THERE'S A LOT I CAN'T TELL YOU, TOM...
AND I KNOW THAT'S UPSET YOU IN THE PAST.
YEAH. YOU FELT IT WAS
BECAUSE OF SOME LACK OF TRUST OR CONFIDENCE,
BUT IT'S--
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?
WELL, HE'S GOT A GOOD HEART,
BUT HE'S WEAK, AND HE'S STUPID.
AND THIS IS LIFE AND DEATH.
TOM, YOU'RE MY BROTHER.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE THOUGHT OF
AS A BROTHER BY YOU, MIKEY, A REAL BROTHER.
I KNOW THAT.
YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE OVER.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE DON.
IF WHAT I THINK HAS HAPPENED HAS HAPPENED,
I'M GOING TO LEAVE HERE TONIGHT.
I GIVE YOU COMPLETE POWER, TOM,
OVER FREDO AND HIS MEN, ROCCO, NERI, EVERYONE.
I'M TRUSTING YOU WITH THE LIVES OF MY WIFE
AND MY CHILDREN--
THE FUTURE OF THIS FAMILY.
IF WE CATCH THESE GUYS,
WILL WE FIND OUT WHO'S BACK OF ALL THIS?
WE'RE NOT GOING TO CATCH THEM.
UNLESS I'M VERY WRONG, THEY'RE DEAD ALREADY.
THEY'RE KILLED BY SOMEBODY CLOSE TO US...
INSIDE...
VERY, VERY FRIGHTENED THEY BOTCHED IT.
YOUR PEOPLE, ROCCO AND NERI--
YOU DON'T THINK THEY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS?
YOU SEE, ALL OUR PEOPLE ARE BUSINESSMEN.
THEIR LOYALTY IS BASED ON THAT.
YOU KNOW, ONE THING I LEARNED FROM POP
WAS TO TRY TO THINK AS PEOPLE AROUND YOU THINK.
NOW, ON THAT BASIS, ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE.
AAH!
CHRIST, THEY'RE DEAD!
RIGHT OUT MY WINDOW!
I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE!
THEY'RE LYING THERE DEAD! AAH!
OVER HERE. 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.
FISH THEM OUT.
ALL RIGHT. GET RID OF THE BODIES.
WHERE'S MIKE?
ROCCO.
ANTHONY, EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
TRY TO SLEEP.
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.
WELL, 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?
NO, I CAN'T, ANTHONY.
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO?
BECAUSE I HAVE TO DO BUSINESS.
I COULD HELP YOU.
I KNOW. SOMEDAY YOU WILL.
GET SOME SLEEP.
GOOD NIGHT.
VITO CORLEONE
[SINGING IN ITALIAN]
SHE'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL. YOU'VE GOT TO SEE HER.
[WHISTLING]
[CLAPPING]
WAIT TILL YOU SEE HER. WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HER.
I LEFT NAPLES. I LEFT MAMA.
FOR A NO-GOOD TRAMP!
NOW HERE I AM IN AMERICA, IN NEW YORK.
ALONE! THINKING OF MY MOTHER.
WITHOUT NEWS FROM HOME.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
FINALLY, A LETTER FROM NAPLES!
VITO, HOW DO YOU LIKE MY LITTLE ANGEL? ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL?
SHE'S VERY BEAUTIFUL.
TO YOU, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL. FOR ME, THERE'S ONLY MY WIFE AND SON.
OUR DEAR MOTHER...
...IS DEAD!
WE'LL GO BACKSTAGE LATER AND TAKE HER TO EAT.
SIT DOWN, YOU BUM!
OH, EXCUSE ME, DON FANUCCI.
WE'LL GO SEE HER BACKSTAGE.
WHO WAS THAT?
THE BLACK HAND.
VITO, COME ON.
WE'LL GO SEE HER BACKSTAGE.
COME HERE.
THAT'S FANUCCI... THE BLACK HAND.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT TOMORROW.
TOMORROW! ALWAYS TOMORROW!
YOU'LL PAY ME TODAY!
LET'S GO.
NOT MY DAUGHTER! LET HER GO!
HERE, TAKE ALL MY MONEY!
VITO, COME HERE. COME ON.
COME HERE.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW THINGS ARE.
FANUCCI'S WITH THE BLACK HAND. THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD PAYS HIM.
EVEN MY FATHER, IN THE GROCERY STORE.
IF HE'S ITALIAN...
...WHY DOES HE BOTHER OTHER ITALIANS?
HE KNOWS THEY HAVE NOBODY TO PROTECT THEM.
FORGET THAT. DID YOU LIKE MY ANGEL?
IF YOU'RE HAPPY, I'M HAPPY.
DON'T YOU FEEL WELL?
IS YOUR BOSS TREATING YOU ALL RIGHT?
FORGET IT.
YOU SPEAK ITALIAN?
HIDE THIS FOR ME!
NEXT WEEK I'LL COME AND GET IT!
[BELL RINGS]
ABBANDANDO, MEET MY NEPHEW!
HOW'S BUSINESS?
[DING]
IT'S GOOD, IT'S GOOD.
FANUCCI'S MAD. SAYS THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S GETTING SLOPPY.
PEOPLE DON'T PAY ON TIME, DON'T PAY THE FULL AMOUNT.
SAYS HE'S BEEN TOO NICE TO EVERYONE.
SO FANUCCI'S CHANGING?
SURE. HE WANTS DOUBLE FROM EVERYBODY.
EVEN FROM MY FATHER.
I'M A FRIEND, RIGHT? SO YOU'LL LET HIM WORK HERE?
I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS.
I FEEL ROTTEN ABOUT TELLING YOU THIS...
BUT FANUCCI... HE'S GOT A NEPHEW...
AND YOU HAVE TO GIVE HIM MY JOB.
YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD TO ME, EVER SINCE I CAME HERE.
YOU LOOKED AFTER ME LIKE A FATHER.
I THANK YOU.
AND I WON'T FORGET IT.
VITO.
TAKE THIS TO YOUR FAMILY.
THANKS ANYWAY. BUT PLEASE, I CAN'T ACCEPT.
WHAT A NICE PEAR!
I'M CLEMENZA, YOU STILL HAVE MY GOODS?
DID YOU LOOK INSIDE?
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN THINGS THAT DON'T CONCERN ME.
A FRIEND OF MINE HAS A NICE RUG. MAYBE YOUR WIFE WOULD LIKE IT.
SURE SHE WOULD. BUT WHO HAS MONEY FOR A RUG?
IT WOULD BE A PRESENT. I KNOW HOW TO RETURN A FAVOR.
YEAH, SURE.
MY WIFE WOULD LIKE IT.
[HENS CLUCKING]
[HORN HONKS]
[RINGS DOORBELL]
THAT SON OF A BITCH! HE ISN'T HOME!
DAMN, HE DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE THE KEY.

NO, THANK YOU.

SECOND AND EIGHT, AND THE BALL...
MR. ROTH?
COME IN, MICHAEL.
SIT DOWN. MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE.
IT'S ALMOST OVER.
HE'S AT THE 4O...
YOU FOLLOW THE FOOTBALL GAME?
NOT FOR A WHILE, I HAVEN'T. NO.
I ENJOY WATCHING FOOTBALL IN THE AFTERNOON.
ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY.
BASEBALL, TOO.
I LOVED BASEBALL EVER SINCE ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN
FIXED THE WORLD SERIES IN 1919.
HA HA HA!
MARKED DOWN THERE, SAY THE OFFICIALS.
I HEARD YOU HAD SOME TROUBLE.
IT WILL BE THIRD AND 1O...
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.
[TURNS UP VOLUME]
HE'S HIT AND DROPPED BY BUFORD
AT THE S.C. 42-YARD LINE...
THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE BLOODSHED.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW BEFORE IT HAPPENS
SO THERE'S NO DANGER OF STARTING ANOTHER WAR.
NOBODY WANTS ANOTHER WAR.
FRANK PENTANGELI CAME TO MY HOME,
AND HE ASKED MY PERMISSION
TO GET RID OF THE ROSATO 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, YOURS AND MINE.
NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT.
YOU'RE A WISE AND CONSIDERATE YOUNG MAN.
YOU'RE A GREAT MAN, MR. ROTH.
THERE'S MUCH I CAN LEARN FROM YOU.
WHATEVER I CAN DO TO HELP, MICHAEL.
EXCUSE ME. LUNCH.
COME IN.
HONEY-BUN, YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK YOUR EARDRUMS.
OK. ENJOY IT.
THANKS.
YOU'RE YOUNG. I'M OLD AND SICK.
WHAT WE'LL DO TOGETHER IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS
WILL MAKE HISTORY, MICHAEL.
HISTORY. IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
NOT EVEN YOUR FATHER WOULD DREAM
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?
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
MICHAEL CORLEONE IS HERE.
HE'S IN YOUR DEN. YOU BETTER HURRY.
HE'S BEEN WAITING A HALF HOUR.
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
DON CORLEONE, I WISH YOU HAD
TOLD ME YOU WERE COMING.
I COULD HAVE PREPARED SOMETHING.
I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW.
HAVE YOU HEARD WHAT HAPPENED IN MY HOME?
MIKE, I ALMOST DIED MYSELF--
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 ROSATO BROTHERS.
MIKE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
LOOK, I DON'T HAVE
YOUR BRAIN FOR BIG DEALS,
BUT THIS IS A STREET THING.
THAT HYMAN ROTH IN MIAMI,
HE'S BACKING UP THOSE SON OF A BITCHES.
I KNOW.
THEN WHY DO YOU ASK ME TO LAY DOWN TO THEM?
IT WAS HYMAN ROTH THAT TRIED TO HAVE ME KILLED.
I KNOW IT WAS HIM.
JESUS CHRIST, MIKE.
JESUS CHRIST. 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 WAS HERE.
AS KIDS, WE HAD TO BE VERY QUIET
WHEN WE PLAYED NEAR 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
I INTERCEDED IN THIS THING
IN THE ROSATO BROTHERS' FAVOR,
HE'LL THINK HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ME
IS STILL GOOD.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
THAT'S WHAT I WANT HIM TO THINK.
I WANT HIM COMPLETELY RELAXED
AND CONFIDENT IN OUR FRIENDSHIP.
THEN I CAN FIND OUT
WHO THE TRAITOR IN MY FAMILY WAS.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
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?
PENTANGELI SET UP A MEETING
WITH THE ROSATO BROTHERS.
HE SAYS HE'S GOING TO GO FOR THEIR DEAL.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
YOU GOT ME IN DEEP ENOUGH ALREADY.
PENTANGELI SAYS HE'S WILLING TO MAKE THE DEAL.
IS HE ON THE LEVEL? WILL HE BRING HIS BOYS?
YOU GUYS LIED TO ME. DON'T CALL ME.
YOUR BROTHER WON'T KNOW WE TALKED.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WHO WAS THAT?
OH...WRONG NUMBER.
FRANK?
I GOT NOBODY HERE.
WAIT IN THE CAR, CICCI.
FRANKIE.
IT'S OK, CICCI.
WHAT'S THIS, ROSATO?
A LUCKY C-NOTE FOR OUR NEW DEAL.
RICHIE, GIVE US A TASTE, HUH?
YES, WE'RE ALL REAL HAPPY
ABOUT YOUR DECISION, FRANKIE.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO REGRET IT.
I DON'T LIKE THE C-NOTE, ROSATO.
I TAKE THAT AS AN INSULT.
MICHAEL CORLEONE SAYS HELLO.
AAH! AAH!
[YELLING]
CLOSE THE FUCKIN' DOOR!
IT'S YOUR FRIEND THE COP. WHAT--
HOWDY, RICH.
IT'S DARK IN HERE. ARE YOU OPEN OR CLOSED?
HEY, I JUST COME IN TO CLEAN UP A LITTLE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
[THUD]
IS SOMETHING ON THE FLOOR?
CARMINE, NO!
-NOT HERE! -ANTHONY!
COME ON!
YOU OPEN THIS, I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!
CARMINE!
[GUNSHOTS]
[SCREAMING]
[TIRES SQUEAL]
FREDDIE, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
HOW IS HE?
HE'S OK NOW.
HE'S IN THE BACK.
COME ON, GIRLS. TAKE A HIKE, HUH?
IN THIS ROOM HERE.
I WANT TO TALK TO HIM ALONE FIRST.
COME ON, HUH?
I THOUGHT I COULD HELP YOU, SENATOR.
HAGEN?
LISTEN, HAGEN, I DID NOT--
NO. IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
IT'S OK. YOU'RE VERY LUCKY.
MY BROTHER FREDO OPERATES THIS PLACE.
HE WAS CALLED BEFORE ANYONE.
IF THIS HAD HAPPENED SOMEPLACE ELSE,
WE COULDN'T HAVE HELPED YOU.
HUH. WHEN I WOKE UP, I WAS ON THE FLOOR.
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED.
YOU CAN'T REMEMBER?
I PASSED OUT.
I...I'LL FIX IT.
JUST A GAME. JESUS.
JESUS. JESUS.
[CRYING]
JESUS GOD.
OH, GOD.
I DON'T KNOW AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY I CAN'T REMEMBER.
JUST DO AS I SAY.
I'M PUTTING A CALL IN TO YOUR OFFICE.
I'LL 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 THAT 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 LIKE SHE NEVER EXISTED.
ALL THAT'S LEFT IS OUR FRIENDSHIP.
I'M SORRY, MRS. CORLEONE.
WE'RE NOT TO LET YOU THROUGH.
I'M JUST GOING TO THE MARKET.
WE'LL PICK UP ANYTHING YOU WANT.
WHOSE ORDERS ARE THESE?
MR. HAGEN'S.
I'LL SPEAK TO MR. HAGEN.
I WANTED TO EXPLAIN THIS,
BUT I HAD BUSINESS IN CARSON CITY.
IT'S MICHAEL'S REQUEST FOR YOUR SAFETY.
I'M SUPPOSED TO STAY IN MY HOUSE?
WITHIN THE COMPOUND IS FINE.
WE'RE GOING TO NEW ENGLAND NEXT WEEK.
THAT'S OFF.
AM I A PRISONER?
THAT'S NOT HOW WE LOOK AT IT, KAY.
KIDS, WE'RE GOING BACK.
JOE.
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
ICUBA! ICUBA!
[YELLING IN SPANISH]
MOST RESPECTED GENTLEMEN.
[TRANSLATING INTO SPANISH]
WELCOME TO 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 FOOD COMPANY.
MESSIEURS CORNGOLD AND DAN
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 ROTH.
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK
UNITED TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH
FOR THEIR LOVELY CHRISTMAS GIFT.
A SOLID-GOLD TELEPHONE.
PERHAPS YOU GENTLEMEN
WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
MR. PRESIDENT. YES.
COULD YOU DISCUSS THE STATUS OF REBEL ACTIVITY
AND WHAT THIS CAN MEAN TO OUR BUSINESSES?
I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT ALTHOUGH THE REBELS
HAVE MOUNTED AN IMPRESSIVE CAMPAIGN
IN LAS VILLAS...
MY STAFF INDICATES WITH ASSURANCE
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 GUERRILLAS
IN THE CASINOS OR SWIMMING POOLS.
[LAUGHTER]
[HORN HONKING]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
HE SAID THEY'RE MAKING ARRESTS,
AND IN A FEW MINUTES, HE'LL LET US THROUGH.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
IT'S NOTHING.
JUST SOME LOUSY BANDITS. THE POLICE ARE CLEANING THEM UP.
[YELLING IN SPANISH]
[HORN HONKING]
ISN'T THAT YOUR CAKE? IT'S HERE.
AH!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
I HOPE MY AGE IS CORRECT.
I'M ALWAYS ACCURATE ABOUT MY AGE.
UH, MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY
SEES THE CAKE BEFORE WE CUT IT.
I'M VERY PLEASED...
YOU WERE ALL ABLE TO COME FROM SUCH DISTANCES
TO BE WITH ME TODAY.
AT THIS POINT IN A MAN'S LIFE,
HE WANTS TO TURN OVER
THE THINGS HE'S BEEN BLESSED WITH,
TURN THEM 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.
-HEAR, HEAR! -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 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,
RELAXED IMPORT RESTRICTIONS.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT WE HAVE NOW
WHAT WE HAVE ALWAYS NEEDED--
REAL PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GOVERNMENT.
SMALLER PIECES.
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 PENINO BROTHERS, DINO AND EDDIE,
FOR A PIECE AND ALSO TO HANDLE THE ACTUAL CASINO OPERATIONS.
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.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
L'CHAYIM.
I SAW AN INTERESTING THING HAPPEN TODAY.
A REBEL WAS BEING ARRESTED BY THE MILITARY POLICE.
RATHER THAN BE TAKEN ALIVE,
HE EXPLODED A GRENADE HE'D HIDDEN IN HIS JACKET--
KILLED HIMSELF AND TOOK A CAPTAIN OF THE COMMAND WITH HIM.
THOSE REBELS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LUNATICS.
MAYBE SO, BUT IT OCCURRED TO ME,
THE SOLDIERS ARE PAID TO FIGHT.
THE REBELS AREN'T.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?
THEY COULD WIN.
THIS COUNTRY HAS HAD REBELS FOR THE LAST 5O YEARS.
IT'S IN THEIR BLOOD. BELIEVE ME, I KNOW.
I'VE BEEN COMING HERE SINCE THE TWENTIES.
WE WERE RUNNING MOLASSES FROM HAVANA WHEN YOU WERE A BABY.
THE TRUCKS-- OWNED BY YOUR FATHER.
MICHAEL.
I'D RATHER WE TALKED ABOUT THIS WHEN WE WERE ALONE.
THE 2 MILLION NEVER GOT TO THE ISLAND.
IT SHOULDN'T GET AROUND THAT YOU HELD BACK MONEY
BECAUSE YOU HAD SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT THE REBELS.
AH... SIT DOWN, MICHAEL.
SIT DOWN.
IF I COULD ONLY LIVE TO SEE IT,
TO BE THERE WITH YOU.
OH! WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE FOR 2O MORE YEARS.
HERE WE ARE, PROTECTED,
FREE TO MAKE OUR PROFITS WITHOUT KEFAUVER,
THE GOD DAMN JUSTICE DEPARTMENT,
AND THE FBI.
9O MILES AWAY, PARTNERSHIP WITH A FRIENDLY GOVERNMENT.
9O 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.
MIKEY. HOW ARE YOU? OK?
MM-HMM.
HIYA. FREDDIE CORLEONE.
MIO FRATE.
JESUS CHRIST, WHAT A TRIP!
THE WHOLE TIME I'M THINKING,
"WHAT IF SOMEBODY KNOWS WHAT I GOT HERE?"
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT, HUH?
$2 MILLION ON THE SEAT NEXT TO ME.
OOP! EXCUSE ME.
NO, IT'S OK.
YOU WANT TO COUNT IT?
MIKEY, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, ANYWAY?
I'M TOTALLY IN THE DARK.
THE FAMILY IS 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. NO, I NEVER MET THEM.
[CLICK]
LISTEN, MIKEY, UM, I'M KIND OF, UH,
KIND OF NERVOUS FROM THE TRIP.
CAN I GET A DRINK?
I THOUGHT MAYBE WE'D GO OUT TOGETHER.
I KNOW A PLACE.
WE CAN SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER, OK?
SOMETIMES I THINK I SHOULD HAVE MARRIED A WOMAN LIKE YOU DID,
LIKE KAY.
HAVE KIDS, HAVE A FAMILY...
FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE,
BE MORE LIKE...POP.
IT'S NOT EASY TO BE HIS SON, FREDO,
NOT EASY.
MAMA USED TO TEASE ME.
SHE'D SAY, "YOU DON'T BELONG TO ME.
YOU WERE LEFT BY GYPSIES."
SOMETIMES I THINK IT'S TRUE.
YOU'RE NO GYPSY, FREDO.
MIKEY, I WAS MAD AT YOU.
WHY DIDN'T WE SPEND TIME LIKE THIS BEFORE?
YOU WANT A DRINK, RIGHT? WAITER!
AH, POR FAVOR...
HOW DO YOU SAY "BANANA DAIQUIRI"?
BANANA DAIQUIRI.
THAT'S IT? THAT'S IT.
AH, UNO BANANA DAIQUIRI.
SI, SENOR.
AND, UH, A CLUB SODA.
SI, SENOR.
SENATOR GEARY IS ARRIVING FROM WASHINGTON
TOMORROW NIGHT WITH SOME GOVERNMENT PEOPLE.
I WANT YOU TO SHOW THEM A GOOD TIME.
THAT'S MY SPECIALTY, RIGHT?
CAN I TRUST YOU WITH SOMETHING?
OF COURSE, MIKE.
LATER ON IN THE EVENING,
WE'RE ALL INVITED TO THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE
FOR A RECEPTION TO BRING IN THE NEW YEAR.
THEN THEY'LL TAKE ME HOME
IN A MILITARY CAR, ALONE,
FOR MY PROTECTION.
AND BEFORE I REACH MY HOTEL,
I'LL BE ASSASSINATED.
WHO?
ROTH.
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,
AND 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?
HYMAN ROTH WILL NEVER SEE THE NEW YEAR.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
HE SAYS YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT EASY,
AND HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A PRESCRIPTION.
I WANT MY OWN DOCTOR.
FLY HIM IN FROM MIAMI.
GRACIAS, SENOR.
BUENAS NOCHES.
HONEY, GO DOWN TO THE CASINO.
IF YOU'RE SURE YOU'RE FEELING BETTER.
I FEEL FINE.
PLAY THE BINGO GAME.
OK. NICE TO SEE YOU.
THANK YOU.
MY SIXTH SENSE TELLS ME
YOUR BROTHER BROUGHT THE MONEY.
WHERE IS IT?
YOU PULLING OUT?
JUST WANT TO... I JUST WANT TO WAIT.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
TERRIBLE.
I'D GIVE 4 MILLION TO TAKE A PISS
WITHOUT IT HURTING.
WHO HAD FRANK PENTANGELI KILLED?
THE ROSATO 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 OFF 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 THEIR WAY TO THE WEST COAST.
THAT KID'S NAME WAS MOE GREENE,
AND THE CITY HE INVENTED WAS LAS VEGAS.
THIS WAS A GREAT MAN,
A 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...
[COUGH]
"THIS IS THE BUSINESS WE'VE CHOSEN."
I DIDN'T ASK... WHO GAVE THE ORDER,
BECAUSE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH BUSINESS.
AHEM.
THAT 2 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.

GENTLEMEN, TO A NIGHT IN HAVANA.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
FELIZ ANO NUEVO!
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
HEY, FRED!
HEY, FREDDIE, WHY ARE WE STANDING?
EVERYBODY STANDS, BUT IT'S WORTH IT.
WATCH. YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT ALREADY.
$50, RIGHT?
YOU GOT A BET, MISTER.
THAT'S HIM. SUPERMAN.
DID I TELL YOU? DID I?
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
THAT THING'S FAKE.
THAT'S REAL. THAT'S WHY THEY CALL HIM SUPERMAN.
HEY, FREDDIE.
WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS PLACE?
JOHNNY OLA TOLD ME ABOUT THIS PLACE.
HE BROUGHT ME HERE.
SEEING IS BELIEVING!
I STILL DON'T BELIEVE IT!
OLD MAN ROTH WOULD NEVER COME HERE,
BUT JOHNNY KNOWS THESE PLACES.
NOW WATCH HIM BREAK THE CRACKER.
I WANT TO SEE HIM BREAK A BRICK!
HE COULD KNOCK DOWN THE BUILDING!
OH!
[SIREN]
UH!
[NECK SNAPS]
RELAX, SENOR ROTH. WE'RE TAKING YOU TO THE HOSPITAL.
[VOICES]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
FELIZ AND NEUVO
AND IN MY JUDGMENT, YOU'LL CONTINUE TO GET THOSE
BECAUSE PRESIDENT EISENHOWER
WILL NEVER PULL OUT OF CUBA.
WE HAVE OVER $1 BILLION INVESTED HERE.
NOW, THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
BELIEVES IN NONINTERVENTION.
FREDO.
WHERE YOU GOING?
I'M GOING TO GET ME A REAL DRINK
BECAUSE I CAN'T DRINK THIS.
WHAT KEPT MR. ROTH?
I UNDERSTOOD HE WAS COMING.
HEY, REAM? WHAT'S THE PROTOCOL?
HOW LONG SHOULD WE STAY?
I THINK A HALF HOUR.
JUST BRING IN THE NEW YEAR.
[VOICES]
SHH.
IT'S NEW YEAR'S EVE. COME ON, JUST FOR A MINUTE.
AAH!
[BAND PLAYING GUANTANAMERA]
THERE'S A PLANE WAITING FOR US.
IT'LL TAKE US TO MIAMI IN AN HOUR.
DON'T MAKE A BIG THING ABOUT IT.
I KNOW IT WAS YOU, FREDO.

IT'S NICE.
THANK YOU, AL.
FELLAS, COULD YOU STEP OUTSIDE
FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE?
WHERE'S MY BROTHER?
UH...ROTH GOT OUT ON A PRIVATE BOAT.
HE'S IN A MIAMI HOSPITAL.
HE HAD A STROKE, BUT HE RECOVERED OK.
YOUR BODYGUARD'S DEAD.
I ASKED ABOUT FREDO.
I THINK HE GOT OUT.
HE MUST BE SOMEWHERE IN NEW YORK.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW, I WANT YOU TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM.
I KNOW HE'S SCARED.
TELL HIM EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT.
SAY I KNOW ROTH MISLED HIM,
THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW THEY'D TRY TO KILL ME.
THEY CAN COME IN NOW.
OH, THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE.
WHAT?
COME ON, WHAT?
KAY HAD A MISCARRIAGE. SHE LOST THE BABY.
WAS IT A BOY?
MIKEY, AFTER 3 1/2 MONTHS--
CAN'T YOU GIVE A STRAIGHT ANSWER?
WAS IT A BOY?
I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
[BABY CRYING]
POOR LITTLE FREDO, HE'S GOT PNEUMONIA.
[HONK HONK]
YOUNG MAN, I HEAR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE STEALING GOODS.
BUT YOU DON'T EVEN SEND A DRESS TO MY HOUSE. NO RESPECT!
YOU KNOW I'VE GOT THREE DAUGHTERS.
THIS IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS SHOULD SHOW ME SOME RESPECT.
YOU SHOULD LET ME WET MY BEAK A LITTLE.
I HEAR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS CLEARED $600 EACH.
GIVE ME $200 EACH, FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION. AND I'LL FORGET THE INSULT.
YOU YOUNG PUNKS HAVE TO LEARN TO RESPECT A MAN LIKE ME!
OTHERWISE THE COPS WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE.
AND YOUR FAMILY WILL BE RUINED.
OF COURSE IF I'M WRONG ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU STOLE I'LL TAKE A LITTLE LESS.
AND BY LESS, I ONLY MEAN A HUNDRED BUCKS LESS.
NOW DON'T REFUSE ME.
UNDERSTAND, PAISAN?
I UNDERSTAND.
MY FRIENDS AND I SHARE ALL THE MONEY. SO FIRST, I HAVE TO TALK TO THEM.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS I DON'T WANT A LOT. JUST ENOUGH TO WET MY BEAK.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO TELL THEM!
600 BUCKS...
SUPPOSE WE DON'T PAY?
YOU KNOW HIS GANG, TESSIO. REAL ANIMALS.
MARANZALLA HIMSELF LET FANUCCI WORK THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
HE'S GOT CONNECTIONS WITH THE COPS, TOO. WE HAVE TO PAY HIM.
$200 EACH...EVERYBODY AGREED?
WHY DO WE HAVE TO PAY HIM?
VITO, LEAVE THIS TO US.
HE'S ONE PERSON, WE'RE THREE.
HE'S GOT GUNS, WE'VE GOT GUNS.
WHY SHOULD WE GIVE HIM THE MONEY WE SWEATED FOR?
THIS IS HIS NEIGHBORHOOD!
I KNOW TWO BOOKIES WHO DON'T GIVE ANYTHING TO FANUCCI.
THEY DON'T PAY FANUCCI.
IF THEY DON'T PAY FANUCCI, THEN SOMEBODY COLLECTS FOR MARANZALLA!
WE'LL ALL BE BETTER OFF IF WE PAY HIM. DON'T WORRY.
NOW WHAT I SAY STAYS IN THIS ROOM.
IF YOU BOTH LIKE, WHY NOT GIVE ME $50 EACH TO PAY FANUCCI?
I GUARANTEE HE'LL ACCEPT WHAT I GIVE HIM.
IF FANUCCI SAYS $200...
...HE MEANS IT, VITO!
I'LL REASON WITH HIM.
LEAVE EVERYTHING TO ME.
I TAKE CARE EVERYTHING.
I NEVER LIE TO MY FRIENDS.
TOMORROW YOU BOTH GO TALK TO FANUCCI.
HE'LL ASK FOR THE MONEY.
TELL HIM YOU'LL PAY WHATEVER HE WANTS. DON'T ARGUE WITH HIM.
THEN I'LL GO AND GET HIM TO AGREE.
DON'T ARGUE WITH HIM, SINCE HE'S SO TOUGH.
HOW CAN YOU GET HIM TO TAKE LESS?
THAT'S MY BUSINESS.
JUST REMEMBER THAT I DID YOU A FAVOR.
IS IT A DEAL?
SI.
SALUTE.
[BAND PLAYING]
[PLAYING THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER]
HIS FAMILY'S OUT OF THE HOUSE.
FANUCCI'S ALONE IN THE CAFE.
VITO, HERE'S MY $50.
ARE YOU SURE HE'S GOING TO GO FOR IT?
I'LL MAKE AN OFFER HE DON'T REFUSE.
DON'T WORRY.
IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S - $100 UNDER MY HAT.
I WAS RIGHT.
ONLY $100...
I'M SHORT OF MONEY RIGHT NOW.
I'VE BEEN OUT OF WORK... SO JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE TIME.
YOU UNDERSTAND, DON'T YOU?
YOU'VE GOT BALLS, YOUNG MAN!
HOW COME I NEVER HEARD OF YOU BEFORE?
YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF GUTS.
I'LL FIND YOU SOME WORK FOR GOOD MONEY.
NO HARD FEELINGS, RIGHT? IF I CAN HELP YOU, LET ME KNOW.
YOU'VE DONE WELL FOR YOURSELF.
ENJOY THE FESTA!
DON FANUCCI.

OH, THIS IS TOO VIOLENT FOR ME!
IN NOMINE PATRIS, ET FILII, ET SPIRITUS SANCTI.
AMEN.
WHAT'VE YOU GOT THERE?
[CHEERING]
[SINGING IN ITALIAN]
MICHAEL, YOUR FATHER LOVES YOU VERY MUCH.
[WHIRRING]
MR. CICCI, FROM THE YEAR 1942 TO THE PRESENT TIME,
YOU WERE AN EMPLOYEE OF THE GENCO OLIVE OIL COMPANY?
THAT'S RIGHT.
BUT IN ACTUALITY, YOU WERE A MEMBER
OF THE CORLEONE CRIME ORGANIZATION.
UH, 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.
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. QUESTADT.
YOU MEAN YOU KILL PEOPLE?
I WHAT?
YOU KILL PEOPLE AT THE--
AT THE BEHEST OF YOUR SUPERIORS.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, COUNSELOR.
AND THE HEAD OF YOUR FAMILY IS MICHAEL CORLEONE?
YEAH, COUNSELOR. MICHAEL CORLEONE. RIGHT.
DID YOU EVER GET SUCH AN ORDER
DIRECTLY FROM MICHAEL CORLEONE?
NO, I NEVER TALKED TO HIM.
MR. CICCI, COULD YOU AMPLIFY YOUR ANSWER A BIT?
DO WHAT?
COULD YOU EXPAND ON YOUR ANSWER?
I'M PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN KNOWING,
WAS THERE ALWAYS A BUFFER INVOLVED?
SOMEONE IN BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR POSSIBLE SUPERIORS
WHO GAVE THE ACTUAL ORDERS?
RIGHT. YEAH. A BUFFER.
THE FAMILY HAD A LOT OF BUFFERS.
[LAUGHTER]
YOU MAY FIND THIS VERY AMUSING,
BUT THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS DO NOT.
[BIRDS CAWING]
TELL ME SOMETHING, MA.
WHAT DID PAPA THINK... DEEP IN HIS HEART?
HE WAS BEING STRONG...
STRONG FOR HIS FAMILY.
BUT BY BEING STRONG FOR HIS FAMILY...
...COULD HE...
...LOSE IT?
YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT YOUR WIFE... ABOUT THE BABY YOU LOST.
BUT YOU AND YOUR WIFE CAN ALWAYS HAVE ANOTHER BABY.
NO, I MEANT...LOSE HIS FAMILY.
BUT YOU CAN NEVER LOSE YOUR FAMILY.
TIMES ARE CHANGING.
IT'S MY PLEASURE. I DON'T WANT MONEY.
TAKE IT AS A GIFT.
THERE'S SOMETHING I DO FOR YOU,
-YOU COME, WE TALK. -GRAZIE.
SIGNORA COLOMBO, WHY DID YOU COME TO SEE ME?
YOUR WIFE TOLD ME TO ASK IF YOU COULD HELP ME.
SHE'S IN BAD TROUBLE.
HER NEIGHBORS COMPLAINED TO THE LANDLORD ABOUT HER DOG.
HE TOLD HER TO GET RID OF THE ANIMAL.
BUT HER LITTLE BOY LOVES THAT DOG. SO SHE HID IT.
WHEN THE LANDLORD FOUND OUT, HE GOT MAD AND TOLD HER TO LEAVE.
NOW SHE CAN'T STAY EVEN IF SHE GETS RID OF IT.
I'M SO ASHAMED!
HE SAID HE'D GET THE POLICE TO THROW US OUT ON THE STREET.
I'M SORRY, BUT...
I COULD GIVE YOU A COUPLE DOLLARS TO HELP YOU MOVE.
I CAN'T MOVE!
I WANT YOU TO TALK TO HIM!
TELL HIM I WANT TO STAY HERE!
WHAT'S YOUR LANDLORD'S NAME?
HIS NAME IS SIGNOR ROBERTO.
HE LIVES ON FOURTH STREET, NEAR HERE.
THEY BREAK THE WINDOWS, THEY DIRTY THE FLOORS...
A REAL PIG-STY, EH?
SIGNOR ROBERTO.
MY NAME IS VITO CORLEONE. SIGNORA COLOMBO IS A FRIEND OF MY WIFE.
SHE SAYS SHE'S BEEN EVICTED FOR NO GOOD REASON.
SHE'S A POOR WIDOW, SHE HAS NOBODY TO TAKE CARE OF HER.
SHE HAS NO RELATIVES, NO MONEY. ALL SHE HAS IS THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
I ALREADY RENTED THE PLACE TO ANOTHER FAMILY.
I TOLD HER THAT I'D TALK TO YOU. THAT YOU'RE A REASONABLE MAN.
SHE GOT RID OF THE ANIMAL THAT CAUSED ALL THE TROUBLE.
SO LET HER STAY.
NON POSSO.
PERCHE?
ARE YOU SICILIAN?
NO, I'M CALABRESE.
WE'RE PRACTICALLY PAISAN, DO ME THIS FAVOR.
I ALREADY RENTED IT! I'LL LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT.
BESIDES, THE NEW TENANTS PAY MORE RENT.
HOW MUCH MORE A MONTH?
FIVE BUCKS.
HERE'S SIX MONTHS INCREASE IN ADVANCE.
BUT DON'T TELL HER ABOUT IT. SHE'S VERY PROUD.
COME SEE ME IN ANOTHER SIX MONTHS.
OF COURSE, THE DOG STAYS. RIGHT?
THE DOG STAYS.
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO COME GIVE ME ORDERS?
WATCH OUT OR I'LL KICK YOUR SICILIAN ASS RIGHT INTO THE STREET!
DO ME THIS FAVOR.
I WON'T FORGET IT.
ASK YOUR FRIENDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT ME.
THEY'LL TELL YOU I KNOW HOW TO RETURN A FAVOR.
WHAT A CHARACTER!
THAT LANDLORD IS HERE... ROBERTO, THE ONE WHO OWNS THOSE RATHOLES.
HE'S BEEN ASKING ALL AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT YOU.
GRAZIE.
I HOPE I'M NOT DISTURBING YOU, DON VITO.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU, DON ROBERTO?
WHAT A MISUNDERSTANDING! HOLY MARY!
OF COURSE SIGNORA COLOMBO CAN STAY!
I'M GIVING BACK THE MONEY YOU GAVE ME.
GRAZIE. GRAZIE.
BECAUSE AFTER ALL, DON VITO, MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING.
UNO, DUE,
THREE, FOUR, FIVE,
SIX, TUTTO.
CAN I SIT DOWN?
GRAZIE.
YOUR KINDNESS TO THAT WIDOW MADE ME ASHAMED OF MYSELF.
THE RENT STAYS LIKE BEFORE.
I'LL EVEN LOWER IT.
I'LL LOWER IT $5.
VA BENE?
I'LL LOWER IT $10!
DIECI.
GRAZIE.
CAN I OFFER YOU SOME COFFEE?
I'M LATE FOR AN APPOINTMENT! I CAN'T THIS TIME! ASK ME ANOTHER TIME!
YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE ME FOR NOW.
I WISH I COULD STAY LONGER!
JUST CALL ME AND I'LL BE HERE!
HA HA!
HE WON'T BE BACK. HE'LL HIDE OUT IN THE BRONX!
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
WATCH YOUR STEP.
VITO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
YOU'VE GOT A BIG BUSINESS.
[HORN HONKS]
[YELLING IN ITALIAN]
[HORN HONKS]
NEW YORK CITY.
WOULD YOU MIND SPEAKING UP, PLEASE?
NEW YORK CITY.
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' 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 BEST FRIENDS ARE ITALIAN-AMERICANS.
HOWEVER, MR. CHAIRMAN,
I HAVE TO LEAVE THESE PROCEEDINGS NOW
IN ORDER TO PRESIDE OVER A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING
OF MY OWN COMMITTEE.
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 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 BARREL
BECAUSE FROM CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS' TIME
UP THROUGH ENRICO FERMI'S TIME
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.
[APPLAUSE]
THE CHAIRMAN IS CALLING THE MEETING BACK TO ORDER.
I'M SURE WE ALL AGREE WITH OUR ESTEEMED COLLEAGUE.
NOW, MR. CORLEONE,
YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
WE HAVE TESTIMONY FROM A PREVIOUS WITNESS,
ONE WILLI CICCI.
HE HAS STATED THAT YOU ARE THE 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 MURDERING A NEW YORK CITY POLICE CAPTAIN IN 1947
AND A MAN NAMED VIRGIL SOLLOZZO.
DO YOU DENY THIS?
YES, I DO.
IS IT TRUE THAT IN THE YEAR 195O,
YOU DEVISED THE MURDER OF THE HEADS
OF THE FIVE FAMILIES IN NEW YORK
TO ASSUME AND CONSOLIDATE YOUR NEFARIOUS POWER?
THAT IS A COMPLETE FALSEHOOD.
MR. QUESTADT.
IS IT TRUE THAT YOU HAVE A CONTROLLING INTEREST
IN THREE HOTELS IN LAS VEGAS?
NO, IT IS NOT TRUE.
I OWN SOME STOCK IN HOTELS,
BUT VERY LITTLE.
I ALSO HAVE STOCK IN IBM AND ITT.
MR. CORLEONE,
DO YOU HAVE ANY INTERESTS OR CONTROL
OVER GAMBLING AND NARCOTICS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK?
NO, I DO NOT.
MY CLIENT WOULD LIKE TO READ A STATEMENT.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I THINK THIS STATEMENT
IS TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER AT THIS TIME.
MY CLIENT HAS ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION
ASKED BY THIS COMMITTEE WITH THE UTMOST SINCERITY.
HE HAS NOT TAKEN THE FIFTH AMENDMENT.
SO IN ALL FAIRNESS,
THIS STATEMENT SHOULD BE HEARD.
NO. I'LL ALLOW MR. CORLEONE TO READ HIS STATEMENT.
I'LL PUT IT IN THE RECORD.
IN THE HOPES OF CLEARING MY FAMILY NAME,
IN THE SINCERE DESIRE TO GIVE MY CHILDREN
THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE
WITHOUT A BLEMISH ON THEIR NAME,
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--
THAT I SERVED MY COUNTRY FAITHFULLY
IN WORLD WAR II
AND WAS AWARDED THE NAVY CROSS
FOR DEFENDING 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 ANY OTHER NAME,
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,
WITH YOUR LOVE FOR OUR COUNTRY.
WE WILL RECESS UNTIL 1O A.M. MONDAY MORNING,
WHEN A WITNESS WILL CORROBORATE THE CHARGES
MADE AGAINST YOU TODAY.
YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO INDICTMENT FOR PERJURY.
REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE UNDER SUBPOENA,
MR. CORLEONE.
WE'RE ADJOURNED.
1O TO 1 SHOT, YOU SAID.
1O TO 1 SHOT, HE WOULD TAKE THE FIFTH,
AND I LOSE.
YOU SOUND LIKE MY BOOKIE.
I OWE THAT MONKEY MY LIFE.
WELL, JUST GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.
YEAH. A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.
YOU GOT A BIG DAY TOMORROW.
GOT YOU A NEW SUIT,
A NEW SHIRT, A NEW TIE.
I'LL SHAVE YOU MYSELF IN THE MORNING.
YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK RESPECTABLE
FOR 5O MILLION FELLOW AMERICANS.
MADONNA.
MY LIFE WON'T BE WORTH A NICKEL AFTER TOMORROW.
COME ON. I SAW THIS THING 19 TIMES.
YOU GOT A GREAT HOME, FRANKIE,
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
NOBODY GETS NEAR YOU. YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
WELL, THAT'S GREAT. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
THAT'S SOME DEAL I MADE.
YOU'LL LIVE LIKE A KING.
YOU'LL LIVE BETTER IN HERE
THAN MOST PEOPLE ON THE OUTSIDE.
SOME DEAL. SHEESH.
ALIVE.
PENTANGELI IS ALIVE.
HOW'D THEY GET THEIR HANDS ON HIM?
ROTH. HE ENGINEERED IT, MICHAEL.
FRANKIE WENT TO MAKE A DEAL WITH THE ROSATO BROTHERS.
THEY TRIED TO KILL HIM.
HE THOUGHT YOU DOUBLE-CROSSED HIM.
OUR PEOPLE WITH THE NEW YORK DETECTIVE
SAID HE WAS SAYING THAT YOU'D TURNED ON HIM.
THEY ALREADY HAD HIM
ON POSSESSION, BOOKMAKING, MURDER ONE, AND A LOT MORE.
THE FBI HAS HIM AIRTIGHT.
HE'S ON AN ARMY BASE, 24-HOUR GUARDS.
NO WAY WE CAN GET TO HIM.
YOU'VE OPENED YOURSELF TO FIVE COUNTS OF PERJURY.
WHAT ABOUT FREDO?
WHAT DOES HE KNOW?
SAYS HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING,
AND I BELIEVE HIM.
ROTH--BOY, HE PLAYED THIS ONE BEAUTIFULLY.
I'M GOING TO TALK TO FREDO.
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?
THEY GOT PENTANGELI--
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.
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
AND 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 BELIEVED THAT STORY?
YOU BELIEVED THAT?
HE SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING IN IT FOR ME
ON MY OWN.
I'VE ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF YOU, FREDO.
TAKEN CARE OF ME?
YOU'RE MY KID BROTHER!
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.
SEND FREDO TO PICK SOMEBODY UP AT THE AIRPORT.
I'M YOUR OLDER BROTHER, MIKE,
AND I WAS STEPPED OVER!
IT'S WHAT POP WANTED.
IT AIN'T WHAT I WANTED!
I CAN HANDLE THINGS!
I'M SMART--NOT LIKE EVERYBODY SAYS!
I'M NOT DUMB!
I'M SMART, AND I WANT RESPECT!
IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU CAN TELL ME ABOUT THIS INVESTIGATION?
ANYTHING MORE?
THE SENATE LAWYER QUESTADT...
HE BELONGS TO ROTH.
FREDO...
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, LET ME 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.
THERE'S MORE PEOPLE THAN A BALL GAME IN HERE.
[LAUGHTER]
HEY, THERE'S WILLI CICCI.
THIS COMMITTEE WILL COME TO ORDER.
STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
FRANK PENTANGELI.
AND WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
PARTINICO. IT'S OUTSIDE OF PALERMO.
THE MICHAEL CORLEONE FAMILY
AND WHERE DO YOU LIVE NOW?
I LIVE IN AN ARMY BARRACKS WITH THE FBI GUYS.
[LAUGHTER]
WE HAVE HERE FINALLY A WITNESS THAT WILL FURTHER TESTIFY
TO MICHAEL CORLEONE'S RULE OVER A CRIMINAL EMPIRE
THAT CONTROLS ALL 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.
WERE YOU A MEMBER OF THE CORLEONE FAMILY?
DID YOU SERVE
UNDER CAPOREGIME PETER CLEMENZA
UNDER VITO CORLEONE,
ALSO KNOWN AS THE GODFATHER?
I NEVER KNEW NO GODFATHER.
[MURMURING]
I GOT MY OWN FAMILY, SENATOR.
MR. PENTANGELI,
YOU ARE CONTRADICTING A SWORN STATEMENT
YOU PREVIOUSLY MADE TO ME AND SIGNED.
I ASK YOU AGAIN HERE AND NOW, UNDER OATH,
WERE YOU EVER 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 THE CONFESSION?
AND DO YOU REALIZE WHAT WILL HAPPEN AS A RESULT?
LOOK. THE FBI GUYS-- THEY PROMISED ME A DEAL,
SO I MADE UP STUFF ABOUT MICHAEL CORLEONE
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY WANTED,
BUT IT WAS ALL LIES--
EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, THEY KEPT SAYING,
MICHAEL CORLEONE DID THIS
AND MICHAEL CORLEONE DID THAT.
SO I SAID, "YEAH. SURE. WHY NOT?"
MR. CORLEONE,
WOULD YOU IDENTIFY FOR THE COMMITTEE
THE GENTLEMAN TO YOUR LEFT?
I CAN ANSWER THAT.
HIS NAME IS VINCENZO PENTANGELI.
IS HE RELATED TO THE WITNESS?
HE IS, I BELIEVE, A BROTHER.
WILL HE BE SWORN, SIR?
THIS MAN DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH.
HE CAME AT HIS EXPENSE
TO AID HIS BROTHER IN HIS TIME OF TROUBLE.
HIS REPUTATION IS IMPECCABLE.
HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THESE MATTERS?
TO MY KNOWLEDGE, NOTHING.
I'M GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
THIS COMMITTEE IS NOW ADJOURNED.
THE WITNESS IS EXCUSED.
SENATOR, THIS COMMITTEE OWES AN APOLOGY!
THIS COMMITTEE OWES AN APOLOGY, SENATOR.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
HOTEL WASHINGTON
MICHAEL? EXCUSE ME.
HELLO, DARLING.
THE CHILDREN ARE OUTSIDE. WE'RE GOING.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, GOING?
WE'RE LEAVING TOMORROW.
UH, ROCCO.
I'LL BE IN MY ROOM, MIKE.
MICHAEL, I'M NOT GOING BACK TO NEVADA.
I BROUGHT THE CHILDREN TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO YOU.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW I'M VERY HAPPY FOR YOU.
I KNEW YOU WERE TOO SMART
TO LET ANYONE EVER BEAT YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN?
NO. NO, I'M NOT GOING TO STAY LONG.
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...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, TOO LATE?
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WITH PENTANGELI, MICHAEL?
HIS BROTHER CAME, 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 UP.
IT WAS BETWEEN THE BROTHERS.
I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
[CHILD LAUGHING]
HA HA HA!
NOBODY IS GOING, KAY.
NOT YOU. NOT THE KIDS.
YOU'RE MY WIFE, THEY'RE MY CHILDREN.
I LOVE YOU, AND I WON'T ALLOW IT.
YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME,
THEN YOU TALK ABOUT ALLOWING ME TO LEAVE!
SOME THINGS BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN
WILL NOT CHANGE...
YOU'RE BLIND, MICHAEL!
BLIND TO WHAT?
LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED TO US, TO OUR SON!
NOTHING'S HAPPENED.
-DON'T SAY-- -ANTHONY IS FINE!
HE'S NOT!
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.
ANTHONY'S FRIENDS ARE YOUR BUTTON MEN!
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!
OVER!
AT THIS MOMENT, I FEEL NO LOVE FOR YOU AT ALL.
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN,
BUT IT HAS.
KAY...
WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE TOMORROW.
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?
DON'T YOU KNOW ME?
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE,
THAT THAT COULD NEVER HAPPEN--
THAT I'D USE ALL MY POWER TO PREVENT THAT?
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?
KAY...
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.
YES.
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 GOING TO 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.
WE'LL 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--
OH!
YOU WON'T TAKE MY CHILDREN.
I WILL!
YOU WON'T TAKE MY CHILDREN!
I WILL! THEY'RE MY CHILDREN, TOO.
[BAND PLAYING]
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
HEY.
HEY, SONNY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
DON CICCIO.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
DON CICCIO, IT'S TOMMASINO.
ALLOW ME THE HONOR OF INTRODUCING SOMEONE.
MY PARTNER IN AMERICA, IN NEW YORK.
HIS NAME IS VITO CORLEONE.
...VITO CORLEONE.
WE'LL SEND HIM OLIVE OIL FROM HERE.
TO HIS COMPANY IN AMERICA.
GENCO OLIVE OIL COMPANY.
THEY'RE OLIVE OIL IMPORTERS, DON CICCIO.
WE'D LIKE YOUR BLESSING, AND YOUR PERMISSION TO START WORK.
WHERE IS THIS YOUNG MAN FROM NEW YORK?
HAVE HIM COME CLOSER.
I CAN'T SEE HIM SO GOOD.
MY RESPECTS, DON CICCIO. GIVE ME YOUR BLESSING.
BLESS YOU!
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
YOU TOOK THE NAME OF THIS TOWN!
AND WHAT'S YOUR FATHER'S NAME?
HIS NAME WAS... ANTONIO ANDOLINI.
LOUDER, I DON'T HEAR SO GOOD.
MY FATHER'S NAME WAS ANTONIO ANDOLINI...
...AND THIS IS FOR YOU!
[CHURCH BELLS RINGING]
CIAO!
-CIAO. -ARRIVEDERCI.
MICHAEL, SAY GOOD-BYE.
HI, AL.
TOM, CAN I SPEAK WITH YOU FOR A SECOND?
TOM, WHERE'S MIKE?
WAITING FOR YOU TO LEAVE.
CAN I TALK WITH HIM?
SORRY, FREDO. 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?
NO.
MICHAEL, FREDO 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...
THAT 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.
CONNIE.
TOM.
SIT DOWN.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
OUR FRIEND AND BUSINESS PARTNER,
HYMAN ROTH, IS IN THE NEWS.
HEAR ABOUT IT?
I HEAR THAT HE'S IN ISRAEL.
MM-HMM.
THE HIGH COURT IN ISRAEL
DENIED HIS REQUEST TO LIVE THERE.
HIS PASSPORT HAS BEEN INVALIDATED,
EXCEPT FOR RETURN TO THE UNITED STATES.
HE LANDED IN BUENOS AIRES YESTERDAY.
HE OFFERED A MILLION DOLLARS TO LIVE THERE.
THEY TURNED HIM DOWN.
HE'S GOING TO TRY PANAMA.
PANAMA WON'T TAKE HIM.
NOT FOR A MILLION, NOT FOR 10 MILLION.
HIS MEDICAL CONDITION IS TERMINAL.
HE'S ONLY GOT ANOTHER SIX MONTHS.
HE'S BEEN DYING
OF THE SAME HEART ATTACK FOR 20 YEARS.
THE PLANE GOES TO MIAMI.
THAT'S WHERE I WANT IT MET.
MIKE, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
THEY'LL TURN HIM OVER TO INTERNAL REVENUE,
CUSTOMS, AND HALF THE FBI.
NOTHING'S IMPOSSIBLE.
IT'S LIKE TRYING TO KILL THE PRESIDENT!
TOM, YOU KNOW, YOU SURPRISE ME.
IF ANYTHING IN THIS LIFE IS CERTAIN,
IF HISTORY HAS TAUGHT US ANYTHING,
IT'S THAT YOU CAN KILL ANYONE.
ROCCO.
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 THAT YOU'D BEEN OFFERED
THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE HOTELS.
YOU DIDN'T TELL ME.
I TURNED THEM DOWN.
DO I HAVE TO DISCUSS OFFERS I TURN DOWN?
LET'S DO BUSINESS.
ALL RIGHT.
JUST CONSIDER THIS, THAT'S ALL.
JUST CONSIDER IT.
NOW, ROTH AND THE ROSATOS ARE ON THE RUN.
ARE THEY WORTH IT? ARE THEY STRONG ENOUGH?
IS IT WORTH IT?
I MEAN, YOU'VE WON.
YOU WANT TO WIPE EVERYBODY OUT?
I DON'T FEEL I HAVE TO WIPE EVERYBODY OUT, TOM.
JUST MY ENEMIES, THAT'S ALL.
YOU GOING TO COME ALONG WITH ME
IN WHAT I HAVE TO DO, OR WHAT?
BECAUSE IF NOT, TAKE YOUR WIFE
AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR MISTRESS--
MOVE THEM ALL TO LAS VEGAS.
WHY DO YOU HURT ME, MICHAEL?
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN LOYAL. WHAT IS THIS?
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
SO...YOU'RE STAYING?
YES, I'M STAYING.
NOW 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?
OK.
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?
WHEN I PUT THE LINE IN THE WATER,
I SAID A HAIL MARY.
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?
OK.
OK...WHAT ELSE YOU GOT?
IT'S GOING TO BE OK, FRANKIE. DON'T WORRY.
DID MY BROTHER GO BACK?
YEAH. DON'T WORRY.
HE'S 1O 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 HOME.
THAT'S MY BROTHER.
NOTHING COULD GET HIM AWAY FROM THAT TOWN.
HE COULD HAVE BEEN BIG, HAD HIS OWN FAMILY.
TOM... 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
WHO DREAMED UP HOW THE FAMILY SHOULD BE ORGANIZED,
HOW THEY BASED THEM ON THE OLD ROMAN LEGIONS
AND CALLED THEM REGIMES, THE CAPOS AND THE SOLDIERS.
AND IT WORKED.
YEAH. IT WORKED.
THOSE WERE THE GREAT OLD DAYS, YOU KNOW?
AND WE WAS LIKE THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
THE CORLEONE FAMILY
WAS LIKE THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
YEAH. IT WAS ONCE.
FRANKIE...
WHEN A PLOT AGAINST THE EMPEROR FAILED,
THE PLOTTERS WERE 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 THEY KILLED THEMSELVES.
THEN NOTHING HAPPENED.
AND THEIR FAMILIES,
THEIR FAMILIES WERE TAKEN CARE OF, TOM.
THAT WAS A GOOD BREAK,
A NICE DEAL.
YEAH.
HEY, 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.
THANKS.
SEE YOU, TOM.
ADDIO, FRANK.
KAY,
YOU HAVE TO GO.
SO PRETTY.
KAY, WILL YOU PLEASE HURRY?
HE'S COMING.
ALL RIGHT.
ANTHONY...
KISS MAMA GOOD-BYE.
ANTHONY, WILL YOU KISS YOUR MOTHER GOOD-BYE?
ANTHONY, SAY GOOD-BYE TO MAMA. ANTHONY.
ANTHONY, I LOVE YOU, ANTHONY.
KAY, PLEASE.
ALL RIGHT.
MARY, COME HERE.
ANTHONY. ANTHONY, PLEASE KISS ME ONCE.
[SOB]
AH! EASY. ATTA BOY.
ANTHONY! ANTHONY!
HE'S HERE! WE'RE GOING FISHING!
NO!
MICHAEL WANTS TO TAKE HIM TO RENO NOW!
OH, SHIT.
KID, YOU GOT TO GO TO RENO WITH YOUR POP.
COME ON, ANTHONY.
I'LL TAKE YOU FISHING TOMORROW, OK?
OK.
UP YOU GO. ATTA BOY.
HEY, ANTHONY, LISTEN.
I'LL CATCH ONE FOR YOU WITH THE SECRET, HUH?
ALL RIGHT?
OK.
OK. GO AHEAD.
OK, AL, LET'S GO.
I'LL HAVE TO TAKE YOU INTO CUSTODY.
YES. I UNDERSTAND.
WHAT'S YOUR REACTION
TO ISRAEL'S HIGH COURT RULING?
I'M A RETIRED INVESTOR ON A PENSION.
I WISHED TO LIVE IN ISRAEL 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?
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.
[LAUGHTER]

HALT!

[BIRD CAWING]
HEY, EVERYBODY, COME ON. PAY ATTENTION.
THIS IS MY FRIEND CARLO RIZZI.
THIS IS MY BROTHER FREDO.
OH, YOU KNOW FREDO.
THIS IS MY STEPBROTHER TOM.
THAT'S HIS GIRL THERESA.
THIS CUTE LITTLE THING IS MY SISTER CONNIE.
SAY HELLO TO CARLO.
HE'S GOOD-LOOKING, ISN'T HE?
YES.
THAT DROOPY THING OVER THERE,
THAT'S MY BROTHER MIKE. WE CALL HIM JOE COLLEGE.
GO ON. SIT DOWN. TALK TO EACH OTHER.
SIT DOWN.
HEY, MR. EINSTEIN. JOE.
HERE'S THE CAKE.
HEY, SAL, GET IN HERE.
I WAS SCARED I WAS LATE.
WHERE'S YOUR FATHER?
TOOK HIM ON A WILD-GOOSE CHASE.
LET'S SEE THAT THING.
OH, HONEY, THAT'S NICE, HUH?
BEAUTIFUL. SHOULD I PUT THE CANDLES ON NOW?
GO ON. HELP HER, CARLO.
HEY, WHAT IS THAT-- RUM?
YEAH.
HA HA HA!
SONNY, DON'T TOUCH THE ANTIPASTO
TILL POP SEES IT.
HE'S NOT UGLY.
HA HA HA!
THE NERVE OF THEM JAPS--
DROPPING BOMBS IN OUR BACK YARD
ON POP'S BIRTHDAY.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS POP'S BIRTHDAY.
WE SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED IT
AFTER THE OIL EMBARGO.
THEY GOT NO RIGHT DROPPING BOMBS.
ARE YOU A JAP-LOVER?
30,000 MEN ENLISTED THIS MORNING.
BUNCH OF SAPS.
WHY ARE THEY SAPS?
DON'T TALK ABOUT THE WAR.
TALK TO CARLO, ALL RIGHT?
THEY'RE SAPS BECAUSE
THEY RISK THEIR LIVES FOR STRANGERS.
THAT'S POP TALKING.
GOD DAMN RIGHT.
THEY RISK THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY.
YOUR COUNTRY AIN'T YOUR BLOOD.
I DON'T FEEL THAT WAY.
WHY DON'T YOU QUIT COLLEGE AND JOIN THE ARMY?
I DID.
I ENLISTED IN THE MARINES.
WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO US?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
POP PULLED A LOT OF STRINGS TO GET YOUR DEFERMENT.
I DIDN'T ASK FOR A DEFERMENT.
COME ON! COME ON! KNOCK IT OFF!
-HEY! -PUNK.
SONNY, SIT DOWN.
MOMMY, DADDY'S FIGHTING AGAIN.
HA HA HA!
GO SHOW CARLO THE TREE.
GO AHEAD.
UNCLE MICHAEL, MAMA.
DADDY.
NICE.
BREAK YOUR FATHER'S HEART ON HIS BIRTHDAY.
HEY, THAT'S SWELL, MIKE. CONGRATULATIONS.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT. ENCOURAGE HIM.
GO ON. GET ME A DRINK.
GO ON.
YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND.
YOUR FATHER HAS PLANS FOR YOU.
MANY TIMES, HE AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.
TALKED TO MY FATHER ABOUT MY FUTURE.
MY FUTURE.
MIKEY, HE HAS HIGH HOPES FOR YOU.
I HAVE MY OWN PLANS FOR MY FUTURE.
DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE TO GET STUPID?
HE'S HERE. COME ON.
COME ON. COME ON.
STUPID.
