The Godfather教父 1972 Movie Script

The motor starts, and as the car pulls away, CLEMENZA suddenly throws the garrote around CARLO's neck. He chokes and leaps up like a fish on a line, kicking his feet.

The garrote is pulled tighter; CARLO's face turns color.

His thrashing feet kick right through the front windshield.

Then the body goes slack.

CLEMENZA makes a foul face, and opens the window as the car drives off.

EXT DAY:

CARLO'S STEPS (1955) MICHAEL and his party. They watch.

Then he turns and walks off, and they follow.

---------------------------------------FADE OUT---------

FADE IN:

INT NITE:

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.
