The Godfather教父 1972 Movie Script

KAY:

He's coming over here!

LUCA comes toward them to meet TOM HAGEN halfway, just near their table.

MICHAEL:

Tom...Tom, I'd like you to meet Kay Adams.

KAY:

(having survived LUCA) How do you do.

MICHAEL:

My brother, Tom Hagen.

HAGEN:

Hello Kay. Your father's inside, doing some business.

(privately) He's been asking for you.

MICHAEL:

Thanks Tom.

HAGEN smiles and moves back to the house, LUCA ominously following.

KAY:

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

MICHAEL:

My brother Sonny found him living in the streets when he was a kid, so my father took him in. He's a good lawyer.

INT DAY:

DON'S OFFICE (SUMMER 1945) DON CORLEONE at the window. He has seen the intimacy of the YOUNG COUPLE.

LUCA (O.S.) Don Corleone... THE DON turns to the stiffly formal LUCA, and he moves forward to kiss his hand. He takes the envelope from his jacket, holds it out, but does not release it until he makes a formal speech.

LUCA:

(with difficulty) Don Corleone...I am honored, and grateful...that you invited me to your home...on the wedding day of your...daughter.

May their first child...be a masculine child. I pledge my never ending loyalty.

(he offers the envelope) For your daughter's bridal purse.

DON CORLEONE:

Thank you, Luca, my most valued friend.

THE DON takes it, and then LUCA's hand, which he squeezes so tightly we might imagine it to be painful.

LUCA:

Let me leave you, Don Corleone. I know you are busy.

He turns, almost an about-face, and leaves the study with the same formality he entered with. DON CORLEONE breathes more easily, and gives the thick envelope to HAGEN.

DON CORLEONE:

I'm sure it's the most generous gift today.

HAGEN:

The Senator called--apologized for not coming personally, but said you'd understand. Also, some of the Judges...they've all sent gifts.

And another call from Virgil Sollozzo.

DON CORLEONE is not pleased.

HAGEN:

The action is narcotics. Sollozzo has contacts in Turkey for the poppy, in Sicily for the plants to process down to morphine or up to heroin. Also he has access to this country. He's coming to us for financial help, and some sort of immunity from the law. For that we get a piece of the action, I couldn't find out how much.
