fade from black: int. of don corleone's home office -day

bonasera (seated in front of the don's desk, facing the camera)

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 never 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 a'broken.

her jaw was a'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.

[bonasera breaks down. the don gestures to sonny to give bonasera a drink]

sorry...

[bonasera, taking the drink, sips from the shot glass]

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 -- suspended sentence. suspended sentence!

they went free that very day! i stood in the courtroom like a fool. and those two bastard,

they smiled at me. then i said to my wife, 'for justice, we must go to don corleone.'

vito corleone (sitting behind his desk, petting a cat)

why did you go to the police? why didn't you come to me first?

bonasera

what do you want of me? tell me anything. but do what i beg you to do.

vito corleone

what is that?

[bonasera gets up to whisper his request into don corleone's ear]

that i cannot do.

bonasera

i'll give you anything you ask.

vito corleone

we've known each other many years, but this is the first time you 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 here: you

never wanted my friendship. and uh, you were afraid to be in my debt.

bonasera

i didn't want to get into trouble.

vito corleone

i understand. you found paradise in america, had a good trade, made a good living. the

police protected you; and there were courts of law. and you didn't need a friend of 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 is to be married, and you uh ask me to do

murder, for money.

bonasera

i ask you for justice.

vito corleone

that is not justice; your daughter is still alive.

bonasera

then they can suffer then, as she suffers.

(then)

how much shall i pay you?

vito corleone (stands, turning his back toward bonasera)

bonasera... bonasera... what have i ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? had

you come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering

this very day. and that by chance if an honest man such as yourself should make enemies,

then they would become my enemies. and then they would fear you.

bonasera

be my friend --

(then, after bowing and the don shrugs)

-- godfather?

vito corleone (after bonasera kisses his hand)

good.

(then)

some day, and that day may never come, i'll call upon you to do a service for me. but uh,

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

bonasera (as he leaves the room)

grazie, godfather.

vito corleone

prego.

(then, to tom hagen, after bonasera leaves the room)

ah, give this to ah, clemenza. i want reliable people; people that aren't gonna be carried

away. i'm mean, we're not murderers, despite of what this undertaker says.

oh, michael, wait a minute; he's coming over here...

nice to meet you

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

michael

oh, ah, that -- 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 consiglieri.

that's um, like a counselor -- an advisor -- very important to the family.

(then)

...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. --

screaming as johnny sings

johnny (singing, continues)

'...this heart i bring you / i have but one heart / to share with you / i have but one dream /

that i can cling to / you are the one dream/i pray comes true...'

kay

please, michael, tell me.

johnny (os, continues the song)

'my darling, until i saw you...'

michael

well, when johnny was first starting out, he was signed to this personal service contract;

with a 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 brasi. and within an hour, he signed a

release, for a certified check for $1,000.

kay

how'd he do that?

michael

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

kay

what was that?

michael

luca brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his brains -- or his

signature -- would be on the contract.

(then)

that's a true story.

(then, after we see johnny ending the song)

that's my family, kay. it's not me.

cut to: johnny fontane in the don's office. -day

johnny

i don't know what to do. my voice is -- is weak. it's weak. anyway, uh, if i had this part in

vito corleone (to johnny, after glancing to see sonny enter)

- daigo guinea wop greaseball gumbahs come out of the woodwork!

tom

woltz

you, you won't know what hit you!

tom

mr. woltz, i'm a lawyer, i have not threatened you.

woltz

i know almost every big lawyer in new york, who the hell are you?

tom

i have a special practice; i handle one client -- now you have my number; i'll wait for your

tom

this is really beautiful.

woltz

well, look at this. it used to decorate the palace of a king.

tom

oh, yeah; very nice.

woltz

why didn't you say you worked for corleone, tom? i thought you were just some cheap

two-bit hustler johnny was running in trying to bluff me.

tom

i don't like to use his name unless it's really necessary.

woltz

how's your drink, tom?

tom

fine

woltz

hey, come on over here with me; i wanna show you something really beautiful. you do

appreciate beauty, don't you?

(then)

there you are, $600,000 on four hooves. i bet a russian czar never paid that kind of dough

for a single horse.

(then, toward the horse)

khartoum. khartoum.

(then, to tom)

i'm not gonna race him, though. i'm gonna put him out to stud.

tom

he's beautiful.

woltz (to stablehand)

thanks, tony.

tony

you're welcome...

woltz (to tom)

let's get something to eat, huh?

cut to: woltz' dinner table -early evening

tom

mr. corleone is johnny's godfather. to the italian people, that's a very religious, sacred,

close relationship.

woltz

i respect that; just tell him he should ask me anything else. but this is one favor i can't give

him.

tom

he doesn't ask a second favor once he's been refused the first, understood?

[gaffe: waiter fills tom's wine glass twice, shown in two camera angles]

woltz

you don't understand. johnny fontane never gets that movie. that part is perfect for him;

it'll make him a big star. and i'm gonna run him out of the business, and let me tell you why.

(then, after he stands)

johnny fontane ruined one of woltz international's most valuable prot間閟. 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 gonna make her a big star! and let me be even more

frank, just to show you that i'm not a hard-hearted man, and it's not all dollars and cents.

she was beautiful; she was young, she was innocent. she was the greatest piece of ass i ever

had, and i had'em all over the world! and then johnny fontane 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 outta here! and if that gumbah tries any rough stuff, you tell him i ain't no band

leader! yeah, i heard that story....

tom

thank you for the dinner and a very pleasant evening. if your car could take me to the

airport; mr. corleone is a man who insists on hearing bad news immediately.

[tom nods, then exits]

dissolve to: close-up of vito corleone's face; he nods -evening

vito corleone

you're not too tired, are you, tom?

tom

no, no. i slept on the plane.

(then, as we see sollozzo entering the don's office from the street)

i have 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 or some sort of reasonable complaint.

uh, his business is narcotics. he has fields in turkey where they grow the poppy. and in

sicily he has the plants to process them into heroin. now -- he needs cash, and 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.

cut to: sonny introducing himself to sollozzo, shaking hands -day

sonny

sonny corleone...

cut to: back to don, sonny and tom before the meeting -evening

vito corleone

what about his prison record?

tom

two terms. one in italy, one here. he's known as a top narcotics man.

vito corleone

santino? whattaya think?

sonny

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

vito corleone

tom?

tom [sollozzo scenes still intercut]

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; an' they're the best

things to have. but narcotics is a thing of the future. an' if we don't get a piece of that

action, we risk everything we have -- i mean not now, but ah ten years from now.

sonny

so, what's your answer gonna be, pop?

cut to: sollozzo meeting in don corleone's genco office. scene includes the don,

sollozzo (drinking coffee, to tom)

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 corleone's, and i want you to help me.

(then, handing tom a drink)

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

(then)

drink it.

(then)

so now it's up to you to make the peace between me and sonny.

(then)

sonny was hot for my deal, wasn't he? and you knew it was the right thing to do.

tom

sonny'll come after you with everything he's got.

sollozzo

that'll be his first reaction, sure. that's why you gotta talk some sense into him. the

tattaglia family is behind me with all their people. the other new york families will go

along with anything that will prevent a full-scale war. let's face it, tom, and all due respect,

the don, rest in peace, was -- slippin'. ten years ago could i have gotten to him?

(then)

well -- now he's dead. he's dead, tom, and nothing can bring him back. so you gotta talk to

sonny, you gotta talk to the caporegimes, that tessio and that fat clemenza.

(then)

it's good business, tom.

tom

i'll try, but even sonny won't be able to call off luca brasi.

sollozzo

yeah, well, let me worry about luca.

(then)

you just talk to sonny -- and the other two kids.

tom

i'll to my best.

sollozzo

good. now, you can go.

(then, while walking out)

i don't like violence, tom. i'm a business man. blood is a big expense.

[outside, a car, sounding its horn, pulls up; sollozzo goes to talk to them, and

returns]

sollozzo

he's still alive. they hit'em 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!

tom (background, to sonny)

too much...

sonny (background, to tom)

huh?

clemenza (background, to tessio)

...it's a lot of bad blood. sollozzo, philip tattaglia, bruno tattaglia; garbone,...

tom (background, to sonny)

it's too far -- i think it's too personal... the don'll consider this all...

michael (to clemenza)

you kill all those guys?

sonny

hey, stay out of it, mickey; do me a favor.

tom

sollozzo's the key. you get rid of him, every falls into line. now what about luca? sollozzo

didn't seem to be worried about luca...

sonny

aw --i don't know -- if luca sold out we're in a lot of trouble, believe me. a lot of trouble.

tom

has anyone been able to get in touch with luca?

clemenza

eh, i've been trying all night. he might be shacked up.

sonny

hey, mick, do me a favor --

tom (background, to clemenza)

luca never sleeps over with a broad -- he always goes home when he's through...

sonny (to michael)

-- try ringing him...

(then, to tom)

well, tom -- you're consiglieri, now what do we do if the old man dies, god forbid.

tom

if we lose the old man --

tessio (background)

... sollozzo, philip tattaglia, ...

tom

-- we lose our political contacts and half our strength. the other new york families might

wind up supporting sollozzo just to avoid a long -- destructive war. this is almost 1946 --

tessio (background)

... my people...

tom

-- nobody wants bloodshed anymore. if your father dies,

(then)

you make the deal, sonny.

sonny

that's easy for you to say, tom, he's not your father!

tom

i'm as much a son to him as you or mike.

sonny

how 'bout a drink? have a little brandy -- that'll help sweat it out. huh? go'ahead, baby...

paulie

alright, sure -- that might be a good idea...

sonny

yeah, right.

(then to clemenza, after paulie exits)

i want you to take care of that sonofabitch right away. paulie sold out the old man, that

stronz'. i don't want to see him again. make that first thing on your list, understand?

clemenza

understood.

sonny

hey, mickey, tomorrow -- get a couple of guys, you go over to luca's apartment; hang

around, waitin' for him to show up...

tom

uh maybe we shouldn't get mike uh mixed up in this too directly

sonny

yeah, listen, uh... hang around the house on the phone an' be a big help, huh?

(then)

try luca again -- ga'head

[tessio enters with package, which he places on sonny's lap]

sonny (unwrapping the package of luca's bulletproof vest-wrapped fish]
