The Godfather教父 1972 Movie Script

INT DAY:

DON'S KITCHEN TESSIO sits in the Kitchen of the Main House on the Mall.

HAGEN enters.

HAGEN:

You'd better make your call to Barzini; Michael's ready.

TESSIO nods; moves to the telephone and dials a number.

TESSIO:

We're on our way to Brooklyn.

He hangs up and smiles.

TESSIO:

I hope Mike can get us a good deal tonight.

HAGEN:

EXT DAY:

MALL (1955) The TWO MEN walk out onto the Mall, toward a car. On their way they are stopped by TWO BODYGUARDS.

THREE MORE BODYGUARDS appear around him.

HAGEN:

(gently) I can't go with you either, Tessio.

He flashes at the men surrounding him; for a moment he panics, and then he accepts it.

TESSIO:

(after the pause) Tell Mike it was business...I always liked him.

HAGEN:

He understands that.

TESSIO looks at the men, and then pauses.

TESSIO:

(softly) Tom, can you get me off the hook?

For old times' sake?

HAGEN:

I can't.

HAGEN turns, and walks away from the group. Then about twenty paces away, he stops, and looks back.

TESSIO is led into a waiting car.

HAGEN looks away, and walks off.
