The Godfather教父 1972 Movie Script

Things are changing; I don't know what will happen. Michael, because of the wedding, people now know your name.

MICHAEL:

Is that why there are more men on the walls?

DON TOMMASSINO:

Even so, I don't think it is safe here anymore. I've made plans to move you to a villa near Siracuse.

You must go right away.

MICHAEL:

What is it?

DON TOMMASSINO:

Bad news from America. Your brother, Santino. He has been killed.

For a moment, the whole world of New York, Sollozzo, the Five Family War, all comes back to MICHAEL.

EXT DAY:

VILLA COURTYARD Morning. MICHAEL leans out of the bedroom window.

Below, FABRIZZIO is sitting in one of the garden chairs, combing his thick hair.

MICHAEL whistles and FABRIZZIO looks up to his window.

MICHAEL:

Get the car. I'll be leaving in ten minutes. Where's Calo?

FABRIZZIO:

Calo is having a cup of coffee in the kitchen. Is your wife coming with you?

MICHAEL:

No, she's going home to her family.

She'll join me in a few weeks...

INT DAY:

VILLA KITCHEN MICHAEL, dressed, crosses from the hallway, and into the kitchen. CALO is just finishing a bite. He rises when he sees MICHAEL.

CALO:

Should I get your bag?

MICHAEL:

No, I'll get it. Where's Appolonia?

CALO:

(smiling) She is sitting in the driver's seat of the car, dying to step on the gas. She'll be a real American woman before she gets to America.

MICHAEL smiles.

MICHAEL:

Tell Fabrizzio and wait for me in the car.

He leaves the kitchen, after a quick sip of coffee.

He looks out from the opening in the doorway.

EXT DAY:

VILLA COURTYARD There is the car, with APPOLONIA sitting in the driver's seat, playing with the wheel like a child.

CALO moves to the car, and puts a lunch basket in the rear seat.

Then MICHAEL seems disturbed.
