The Godfather教父 1972 Movie Script

GIRL:

Do you remember me?

TESSIO:

No...

GIRL:

We danced together at Connie's wedding.

TESSIO makes a gesture, which is to say 'How you've grown', and they move though the crowd, looking for Michael. He finds him.

TESSIO:

Mike, could I have a minute?

MIKE; nods; and they move to a private place. NERI is close by.

TESSIO:

Barzini wants to arrange a meeting.

Says we can straighten any of our problems out.

MICHAEL:

He talked to you?

TESSIO:

(nods) I can arrange security.

MICHAEL looks at him.

EXT DAY:

CEMETERY (1955) The Cemetery. Late day.

The hundreds of cars, limousines and flower cars line the stone wall that surrounds this Italian-Catholic cemetary in Queens Village.

Hundreds of people stand in a cluster; others watch; take pictures, etc.

MICHAEL stands with his family, his MOTHER...and TOM HAGEN.

MICHAEL:

(softly) Christ, Tom; I needed more time with him. I really needed him.

HAGEN:

Did he give you his politicians?

MICHAEL:

Not all...I needed another four months and I would have had them all.

(he looks at TOM) I guess you've figured it all out?

HAGEN:

How will they come at you?

MICHAEL:

I know now.

(a passion wells up inside of MICHAEL) I'll make them call me Don.

HAGEN:

Have you agreed on a meeting?

MICHAEL:

(nods) A week from tonight. In Brooklyn on Tessio's ground, where I'll be safe.

HAGEN looks at him; understands.
