MICHAEL'S LIMO EN ROUTE (1955) MICHAEL sits alone in the back of his car; NERI is driving.
They do not speak for a long time; it is night--car lights flash by.
NERI turns back.
NERI:
You know I would never question anything you say.
MICHAEL:
(smiles) Speak your mind.
NERI:
I'll do this for you; you know I should.
MICHAEL:
No. This I have to do.
EXT NITE:
PIZZA STREET (1955) MICHAEL's car pulls up in a quiet neighborhood, near an Italian Pizzeria. NERI opens the door.
MICHAEL:
Sit in the car.
INT NITE:
PIZZA PLACE (1955) He walks alone into the restaurant. A MAN is tossing pizza dough in the air.
MICHAEL:
Where's the boss?
MAN:
In the back. Hey Frank, someone wants you.
A MAN comes out of the shadows, with a strong Italian accent.
MAN:
What is it?
He stops, frozen in fear. It is FABRIZZIO.
VIEW ON MICHAEL. Gunfire from under his coat. FABRIZZIO is cut down. MICHAEL throws the gun down; turns and exits.
EXT DAY:
MALL (1955) HIGH ANGLE ON THE CORLEONE MALL Several moving vans are parked in the Mall; one feels that these are the final days; the families are moving out; signs indicating that the property is for sale are evident.
