The Godfather教父 1972 Movie Script

CLEMENZA had shouted from the kitchen window. MICHAEL hurries into the house.

INT DAY:

DON'S KITCHEN (WINTER 1945) CLEMENZA is in the kitchen, cooking over an enormous pot.

He points to the kitchen wall phone which is hanging off the hook.

CLEMENZA:

Some dame.

MICHAEL picks it up.

MICHAEL:

Hello. Kay?

KAY (O.S.) How is your father?

MICHAEL:

He'll be OK.

KAY (O.S.) (pause) I love you.

He glances at the THUGS in the kitchen. Tries to shield the phone.

KAY (O.S.) I LOVE YOU.

MICHAEL:

Yeah Kay, I'm here.

KAY (O.S.) Can you say it?

MICHAEL:

Huh?

KAY (O.S.) Tell me you love me.

MICHAEL glances at the HOODS at the kitchen table. He curls up in a corner, and in a quarter voice:

MICHAEL:

I can't... KAY (O.S.) Please say it.

MICHAEL:

Look. I'll see you tonight, OK?

KAY (O.S.) OK.

(click) CLEMENZA is getting ready to build a tomato sauce for all the button men stationed around the house.

CLEMENZA:

How come you don't tell that nice girl you love her...here, learn something... you may have to feed fifty guys some day. You start with olive oil...fry some garlic, see. And then fry some sausage...or meat balls if you like...then you throw in the tomatoes, the tomato paste...some basil; and a little red wine...that's my trick.

SONNY peeks into the kitchen; sees CLEMENZA.

SONNY:

You take care of Paulie?

CLEMENZA:

You won't see Paulie anymore. He's sick for good this winter.

MICHAEL starts to leave.
