The Godfather: Part II 教父2 1974 Movie Script

杰瑞发布于2024-03-28

The compelling sequel to "The Godfather", contrasting the life of Corleone father and son. Traces the problems of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) in 1958 and that of a young immigrant Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) in 1917's Hell's Kitchen. Michael survives many misfortunes and Vito is introduced to a life of crime.

Then what? And what if the Don, a great man, couldn't bring himself to do what he had to do, avenge his son's death by killing his daughter's husband? What if that, finally, was too much for him, and he made Michael his successor, knowing that Michael would take that load off his shoulders, would take that guilt?
KAY:
He's not the same as when I met him.
HAGEN:
If he were, he'd be dead by now.
You'd be a widow. You'd have no problem.
KAY:
What the hell does that mean? Come on, Tom, speak out straight once in your life. I know Michael can't, but you're not Sicilian, you can tell a woman the truth; you can treat her like an equal, a fellow human being.
There is a long silence.
Then Hagen shakes his head; he can tell her no more.
HAGEN:
If you told Michael what I've told you today, I'm a dead man.
KAY:
When is it finally over? I want it to be over before my baby is born.
HAGEN:
I don't know. I hope soon; but it's not over yet, and that's why you and the kids have to come back to me.
He looks at her; it's clear that he has been entrusted with her safety and her children's.
He is a kind, good man, and seems very nervous and overwrought.
VIEW ON THE WINDOW Little Anthony is pressing his face against the glass pane, as though he senses the adults are discussing something of importance to him.

Don't go away; wait a minute.
He takes the phone; we can catch a VIEW of the show going on from the wings.
