The Godfather教父 1972 Movie Script

EXT DAY:

MALL (SPRING 1946) HIGH ANGLE on the Corleone Mall. It is a gray, rainy day.

Young BUTTON MEN in raincoats stand in quiet groups of various points around the main house and compound. Things have changed; one house has been extensively enlarged; a new and secure gate house has been built. Security measures that had been make-shift and temporarily have now been made a permanent part of the Mall, evolving it into a Medieval Fortress. We notice a huge crater in the courtyard; the result of a recent bomb attempt. The house nearest the crater is damaged by fire.

A taxi arrives; KAY ADAMS steps out, huddled in a bright yellow raincoat; she lets the cab go, and hurries to the shelter of the gate house.

They are not expecting her, and ask her to wait while they call the main house.

KAY looks at the imposing, depressing Mall, while rain still runs down onto her face.

She notices the bomb crater, and the fire damage; and the sullen faces of the BUTTON MEN.

TOM HAGEN exits the Main House, and hurries toward her.

HAGEN:

Kay, we weren't expecting you. You should call...

KAY:

I've tried calling and writing. I want to reach Michael.

HAGEN:

Nobody knows where he is. We know he's all right, but that's all.

KAY looks in the direction of the crater, filling with rainwater.

KAY:

What was that?

HAGEN:

An accident. No one was hurt.

KAY:

Listen Tom, I let my cab go; can I come in to call another one?

TOM is clearly reluctant to involve her any more than he has to.

HAGEN:

Sure...I'm sorry.

They hurry through the rain and into the Main House.

INT DAY:

DON'S LIVING ROOM (SPRING 1946) In the living room, KAY shakes the water from her coat and takes her rainhat off.

KAY:

Will you give this to him.

HAGEN:

If I accept that letter and you told a Court of Law I accepted it, they would interpret it as my having knowledge of his whereabouts.

Just wait Kay, he'll contact you.

We hear footsteps descending the staircase; MAMA CORLEONE enters the room; the OLD WOMAN squints at KAY, evaluating her.

MAMA:

You're Mikey's little girl.

KAY nods yes; there are still tears in her eyes.

MAMA:

You eat anything?
