The Godfather教父 1972 Movie Script

FREDO (O.S.) There's a new one. Construction going on everywhere.

MORE VIEWS, showing new hotels and casinos being built; the

bill marquees read:

"MARTIN AND LEWIS", "PATTI PAGE", etc.

FREDO (O.S.) That's one of the family's new ones.

Not bad, eh?

EXT DAY:

FLAMINGO (1955) The car pulls up at the Flamingo Hotel.

Inside the car:

MICHAEL, FREDO, TOM HAGEN and a new man, NERI, quiet and sinister.

MICHAEL:

Why didn't Moe Green meet us at the airport?

FREDO:

He had business at the hotel, but he'll drop in for dinner.

From the expression on MICHAEL's face we know this is a discourtesy.

INT DAY:

FLAMINGO HOTEL SUITE (1955) A whole entourage precedes FREDO and his V.I.P. party of MICHAEL, HAGEN and NERI. Great fuss is made. They are being shown into the hotel's 'special' suite.

FREDO:

You look wonderful, kid; really wonderful. That doctor did some job on your face.

MICHAEL:

You look good, too.

They enter the suite.

FREDO:

Nice, eh?

FREDO is as excited as a kid, snapping orders at the bellboys, waiters and maids.

FREDO:

(hurrying into the bedroom) Kid, take a look-see.

MICHAEL gives a look to HAGEN, and continues into the bedroom.

There is an enormous circular bed on a huge platform, mirrors to each side. FREDO points upward.

A VIEW into a large CEILING mirror.

FREDO:

Ever seen anything like that before?

MICHAEL:

(dryly) No.

INT NITE:

FLAMINGO SUITE BEDROOM (1955) MICHAEL is alone in the bedroom. He is just finishing dressing; he puts on his jacket. From the window, with the lights blinking, we can tell it's late at night. MICHAEL passes into the other room.

He stops, looks. He is disturbed.

INT NITE:

FLAMINGO SUITE (1955) A magnificent, circular table has been set up in his suite; a lavish table setting for eight. Standing by the table are HAGEN, JOHNNY FONTANE, looking wonderful, a little heavier, beautifully dressed; FREDO, a dandy, and TWO LAS VEGAS GIRLS.
