The Godfather教父 1972 Movie Script

CLEMENZA:

.22 soft-nosed load. Accurate up to five feet.

LAMPONE expertly puts the gun away. GATTO's car pulls into the driveway, and he sounds the horn.

The two men walk to the car. GATTO is driving, a bit nervous, like he doesn't know what is up. LAMPONE gets in the rear seat; CLEMENZA in the front, making a grunt of recognition. He looks at his wristwatch, as though wanting to chide PAULIE for being late. PAULIE flinches a little when he sees LAMPONE will ride behind him; he half turns:

PAULIE:

Rocco, sit on the other side. A big guy like you blocks my rearview mirror.

CLEMENZA turns sourly to PAULIE.

CLEMENZA:

Goddamn Sonny. He's running scared.

He's already thinking of going to the mattresses. We have to find a place on the West Side. Paulie, you know a good location?

PAULIE relaxes a bit; he thinks he's off any possible hook he was on. Also there's the money he can make by selling Sollozzo any secret location.

PAULIE:

I'll think about it.

CLEMENZA:

(grunting) Drive while you thinking; I wanna get to the City this month!

The car pulls out.

The car pulls off.
