The Godfather: Part II 教父2 1974 Movie Script

DON FRANCESCO:

(Sicilian) He will be a man, and then he will come for revenge.

As she pleads, the Widow moves closer to the Don, until she has practically thrown herself to her knees before him.

WIDOW:

(Sicilian) I beg you, Don Francesco, spare my only son. He is all I have. In the name of the Holy Spirit, I swear he will never be a danger to you... Suddenly, she reaches under her skirt, where she has hidden a kitchen knife.

WIDOW:

(continuing) But I will kill you myself!

(she lunges at the Mafia chieftain) Vitone, go!

The boy runs as fast as he can out through the gates. Then there is a lupara blast. He turns, and sees his Mother flung a distance of five feet from the short range of the terrible blast of the shotgun. Then he sees the men turn their attention to him. One fires at him; but the boy is quick, and disappears into a grove of olive trees.

EXT. STREETS OF CORLEONE - NIGHT Two men roam the deserted streets of Corleone, carrying lupare. Every so often, they stop, and one shouts in a loud, almost singsong voice, like a fish peddler. Their names are MOSCA and STROLLO.

MOSCA:

(Sicilian) Our Friend promises misery to anyone who harbors the boy Vito Andolini.

(he turns and shouts in the other direction) Our Friend promises misery to anyone who harbors the boy Vito Andolini.

INT. A HOUSE - NIGHT A family quietly eats their dinner. The father is the local policeman, as indicated by his uniform jacket and gun, hanging nearby.

STROLLO:

(Sicilian, O.S.) Our Friend will be hard with any family who gives help to Vito Andolini.

One of the children looks up, about to speak. But the father sternly indicates that nothing must be said. They go on with their dinner.

EXT. THE STREETS OF CORLEONE - FULL VIEW - NIGHT The men continue walking up and throughout the streets, far in the distance.

MOSCA:

(Sicilian O.S.) ...misery to any family who harbors the boy, Vito... INT. A BARN - NIGHT Four little girls watch with wide eyes as their mother and father bind Vito tightly in swaddled cloth, and then lift him up to the side of a mule; counter-balancing a heavy load of firewood. The father looks at the boy's almost stoically calm little face.

FATHER:

(Sicilian) Vito...We pray for you.

He pulls the fabric over the boy's face.

MOSCA:

(Sicilian O.S.) ...Andolini...

STROLLO:

(Sicilian O.S.) Our Friend promises misery to any family... EXT. THE CHURCH PLAZA - NIGHT The men continue on their night-walk, up to the plaza of the church.

STROLLO:

(Sicilian) ...who harbors the boy Vitone Andolini.

The figure of a single man on a mule passes them.

MOSCA:

(Sicilian) Let no one give help to the boy Vito Andolini... The man on the mule makes his way out of the village and disappears into the distance.

We begin to hear, very quietly, the Waltz repeated once again.

EXT. STEAMSHIP - CLOSE VIEW ON VITO - DAY huddled in blankets, on the deck of the ship in Steerage.

He does not say a word. The Waltz grows louder as the VIEW ALTERS, revealing the hundreds of immigrant families huddled together with all their earthly possessions on their way to America.

Then, suddenly, the Waltz stops.
