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.

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.

- daigo guinea wop greaseball gumbahs come out of the woodwork!
tom
i'm german-irish...
woltz
well let me tell you something my kraut mick friend, i'm gonna make so much trouble for
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

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.

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]

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, tom, sonny, fredo, clemenza, and tessio sitting in room #2 -day

bene. don corleone. i need a man who has powerful friends. i need a million dollars in
cash. i need, don corleone, those politicians that you carry in your pocket, like so many

vito corleone
what is the interests for my family?
sollozzo
thirty percent. in the first year, your end should be three- four-million dollars. and then it
would go up.
vito corleone
and what is the interest for the tattaglia family?
sollozzo (to tom)
my compliments.
(then to don corleone)
i'll take care of the tattaglia's, outta my share.
vito corleone
so i receive thirty percent for finance -- political influence, and legal protection, that's what
your telling me?
sollozzo
that's right
vito corleone
why do you come to me? why do i deserve this generosity?
sollozzo
if you consider a million dollars in cash just finance, te salute, don corleone.
vito corleone (gets up to pour sollozzo another drink)
i said that i would see you because, i heard that you're a serious man, to be treated with
respect.
(then, after sitting)
but uh, i must say 'no' to you -- and i'll give you my reasons. it's true, i have a lot of friends
in politics, but they wouldn't be friendly very long if they knew my business was drugs
instead of gambling, which they rule that as a -- harmless vice. but drugs is a dirty business.
sollozzo
don corleone...
vito corleone
it -- makes -- it doesn't make any difference to me what a man does for a living, understand.
but your business is ah -- a little dangerous.
sollozzo
if you're worried about security for your million, the tattaglia's will guarantee it.
sonny
aw, you're telling me that the tattaglia's guarantee our investment?
vito corleone (to sonny)
wait a minute...
[clemenza and tom look at each other, realizing sonny's faux pas. sollozzo
notices]
vito corleone (to sollozzo)
i have a sentimental weakness for my children, and i spoil them as you can see; they talk
when they should listen. but, anyway, signor sollozzo, my no is final, and i wish to
congratulate you on your new business, and i know you'll do very well; and good luck to you
-- as best as your interests don't conflict with my interests. thank you.
[the group begins to leave the room: sollozzo, clemenza, tessio, then fredo]
vito corleone
santino, come're. whattsa matter with you? i think your brain is going soft from all that
comedy your playing with that young girl. never tell anybody outside the family what you're
thinking again!

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.

it's good business, tom.
tom
i'll try, but even sonny won't be able to call off luca brasi.

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

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.

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?

who are you?
enzo
i am enzo, the baker -- do you remember me?
michael
enzo...
enzo
yes, enzo...
michael
you better get out of here, enzo; there's gonna be trouble...
enzo
if there is trouble, i stay here to help you. for your father -- for your father
michael
alright... listen, wait for me outside in front of the hospital. alright? i'll be out in a minute.
go ahead...
enzo
okay... okay.
[michael returns to the don's room, at his bedside. the nurse is still in the room]
michael
just lie here, pop. i'll take care of you now. i'm with you now. i'm with you...
[michael kisses the don's hand; the don smiles, with a tear in his eye. michael
leaves to meet enzo outside of the hospital]
michael (grabbing and tossing the flowers that enzo is still holding)
get rid of these
(then, as michael turns enzo's collar up)
come 'ere... put your hand in your pocket like you have a gun. you'll be alright.
(then, after he sighs)
you'll be okay...
[a black sedan pulls up to the front of the hospital. the occupants look at michael
and enzo, as michael undoes a button of his coat and puts his hand in, as if he had a gun.
the car then drives off]
michael
you did good.
[enzo, very scared, takes out a cigarette and has trouble lighting it with his zippo
lighter. his hands are shaking. michael takes the lighter and lights his cigarette, noticing
that his hands are not shaking. sirens are heard as police cars screech to a halt in front of the
hospital. michael shoos enzo away as he is grabbed by an officer]
officer (grabbing michael)
now hold still...
captain mccluskey (entering the scene)
i thought i got all you guinea hoods locked up! what the hell are you doing here?
michael
what happened to the men who were guarding my father, captain?
mccluskey
why you little punk! what the hell are you doing telling me my business? i pulled them
guys off of here, eh! -- now you get outta here -- and stay away from this hospital!
michael
i'm not moving until you put some guards around my father's room
mccluskey
phil, take him in!
officer phil
the kid's clean, captain. he's a war hero. he's never been busted for the rackets...
mccluskey (overlaps)
goddamn it, i said take him in!
michael
what's the turk paying you to set up my father, captain?
mccluskey
take a hold of him. stand him up. stand'im up straight.
[mccluskey punches michael in the jaw as a corleone car screeches up. men get
out and run up the steps toward the don's room. tom and a couple of men go to get
michael]
tom (to mccluskey)
i'm attorney for the corleone family. these men are private detectives hired to protect vito
corleone. they're licensed to carry firearms. if you interfere, you'll have to appear before a
judge in the morning and show cause.
mccluskey (to his officers)
alright... let'im go. [inaudible 'shit!' as he turns away] come on!
dissolve to: corleone mall, during the day. tom, clemenza and michael get out of the
car and walk through the gate, noticing armed men all over the mall. tessio greets them.
-day
clemenza
what's with all the new faces?
tessio
we'll need'em now. after the hospital thing, sonny got mad. we hit bruno tattaglia 4
o'clock this morning.
clemenza
jesus christ...
(then, motions to michael to come on)
it looks like a fortress around here...
cut to: inside the corleone office -day
sonny (to tom)
tom-anuch! hey, a hundred button men on the street twenty-four hours a day; that turk
shows one hair on his ass, he's dead --
tom (going to sit down)
yeah?
sonny
-- believe me...
(then, to michael, whose face is bruised from mccluskey's punch)
hey, michael, come're, let me look at you. you look beautiful! beautiful! just gorgeous!
(then, to tom)
hey, listen to this -- the turk wants to talk. eh gosh -- imagine the nerve of the sonofabitch,
eh? craps out last night, and wants a meetin' today...
tom
what did he say?
sonny
what did he say -- badda-beep, badda-bap, badda-boop, badda-beep -- he wants us to send
michael here to proposition. and the promise is, that the deal is so good, that we can't
refuse. eh...
tom (as tessio enters the room)
what about bruno tattaglia?
sonny
that's part of the deal -- bruno cancels out what they did to my father...
tom
sonny, we ought to hear what they have to say...
sonny (standing in front of tom, who's seated)
no; no; no! no more! not this time, consiglieri. no more meetin's, no more discussions, no
more sollozzo tricks. you give'em one message: i want sollozzo -- if not, it's all-out war --
we go to the mattresses...
tom (stands)
some of the other families won't sit still for all-out war!
sonny
then they hand me sollozzo!
tom
