The Godfather: Part II 教父2 1974 Movie Script

CONNIE:

Michael...

MICHAEL:

You fly around the world with lazy young men who don't have any love for you, and use you like a whore.

CONNIE:

You're not my father!

MICHAEL:

Then why do you come to me?

CONNIE:

Because I need MONEY!

MICHAEL:

(softly) Connie, I want to be reasonable with you. You have a house here, with us. You can live here with your kids...and you won't be deprived of anything. I don't know much about Merle; I don't know what he does for a living; what he lives on. Why don't you tell him marriage is really out of the question; and that you can't see him any more.

He'll understand. But if you disobey me, and marry this pimp...it would disappoint me.

CONNIE:

It was my father's money; and I'm entitled to what I need. Where is Tom Hagen?

She turns angrily, leaving Michael standing face to face with Merle.

MICHAEL:

Are you finished?

MERLE:

I think so.

MICHAEL:

Then out.

Merle puts out his cigarette and leaves, quickly.

EXT. TAHOE PAVILION - FULL VIEW - DAY The orchestra has struck up a "Paul Jones," where two concentric circles of young people march in opposite directions, until the music stops. Then they take whomever is opposite them as their new dance partner.

VIEW ON THE HARBOR AREA Francesca and her twin, Gardner and their elite young friends roar out of the private harbor, to get up on the water skis. We notice ROCCO LAMPONE, move along a path leading to a separate and more private boathouse. A small covered craft approaches, ties off, and a group of three men step on to the pathway, shake hands with Lampone - and follow him to the large boathouse where Michael conducts his business.

CLOSE VIEW:

Pentangeli has led Mama up to the dance floor, and is having some difficulty with the orchestra.

PENTANGELI:

I can't believe that out of thirty professional musicians, not one of you is Italian!

(as the musicians laugh) C'mon, give us a tarantella.

He waves his hands, conducting, and singing. The piano starts a vamp, the drums uncertainly join in. A clarinet starts to play "Pop Goes the Weasel," and soon the rest of the orchestra is playing that. They look to Pentangeli for approval. Disgusted, he goes back to his table, eating a handful of canapes.

INT. THE BOATHOUSE - DAY Rocco ushers an older Italian, bundled up against the cold and wet of his boatride, to Michael.

The man shows respect to Michael, who quickly indicates that Neri should get him a drink.

MICHAEL:

Rocco, his friends must be hungry.

See what you can do, but I'd like to keep them away from the guests.

The older man, JOHNNY 'BLUE BOY' OLA, gestures to his bodyguards, and they follow Lampone.

MICHAEL:

You know my lawyer, Tom Hagen.
