The Godfather: Part II 教父2 1974 Movie Script

MICHAEL:

(Sicilian) No, I meant lose his family.

MAMA:

(as best she ever understood it) Your family? How can you ever lose your family?

MICHAEL:

(almost to himself) But times are different... FULL VIEW IN ROOM - MICHAEL AND HIS MOTHER Quietly we HEAR the music of a small band playing an Italian march. From the orchestration, we know it is from the past.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. TRAIN STATION AT CORLEONE - DAY Vitone and his young family: Mama, Santino, Fredo and the baby Michael are met at the small station in Sicily by friends, and Mama's relatives. There is a small band, playing for the occasion. A small man has brought a motor car to pick the family up; and there are certain dark men, with shotguns slung over their shoulders to preside over the occasion.

The family is helped into the car; the luggage is packed on the roof, and the car drives off. The second car, with bodyguards following.

EXT. DON TOMASINO'S VILLA OUTSIDE OF CORLEONE - DAY The villa is bloomed with flowers and DON TOMASINO at this point is a man in his late twenties. He embraces Vitone and pats the heads of his children, and leads them all into the garden.

INT. THE VILLA - SUMPTUOUS MED. VIEW - LATE DAY A sumptuous table is set for the visiting family from America. There is a warm atmosphere as Vito, his wife and children eat. Tomasino and his family received presents from Carmella and to Tomasino's mother, and gifts are given to all of the children.

All typically American representing some of the prosperity and interests in the consumer goods that followed a great war.

EXT. CORLEONE PLAZA - DAY The family exits the church on the plaza of the town. Vito shakes hands warmly with the priest.

INT. VILLAGE COTTAGE - NIGHT The door is open -- the footsteps of a man enter the room.

We follow these footsteps without quite knowing to whom they belong. They lead us to a bed, where we see asleep an OLD MAN. He sleeps in his undershirt and is sweating, covered by mosquito netting.

VIEW ALTERS:

and we realize that it is young Vito looking at the MAN.

We remember that the man is MOSCA, one of three men, who almost twenty years before had hunted down Vito when he was a boy. With lightning speed, Vito slashes through the mosquito netting with a knife. And with the movement precise as a butcher's he disembowls this man.

EXT. OLIVE OIL WAREHOUSE - FULL VIEW Vito has brought his wife and children to see the Olive Oil Depot which is the link to his New York importing business.

They go inside.

INT. OLIVE OIL WAREHOUSE - DAY They are led by one of Vito's associates through rows and rows of large vats of olive oil. Vito very proudly shows his associates in Italy the olive oil can that will be used in the United States. They all stand around at the link to their new importing business and share a toast of wine.

EXT. THE BAY - DAY A team of Sicilian fisherman are at work mending their nets.

One sings accompanied by a guitar.

VIEW MOVES TO ONE OF THE OLD FISHERMAN He is recognized as the second of the men who had hunted Vito down. STROLLO. As he walks we notice there is a figure that is moving through the drying sails and barrels, it is Vito. He moves quietly, stepping up behind the old man. In an instant, he has thrown a garrote around his throat, twisting it tight, so that there is very little sound.

Then, almost silently dragging him through the space hidden by the drying sails.

EXT. THE IMPRESSIVE ESTATE OF DON FRANCESCO - DAY We see an old car approach. Its driver is the young Tomasino.

Sitting in the car with him is Vito.

The car stops at the gates, and an old guard sees and recognizes Tomasino, opens the gates allowing them to enter.

MED. VIEW on an almost decrepit DON FRANCESCO. He must be in his early nineties, sitting as powerful and as impressive as ever, in his throne-like chair from which he manages the power as the Mafia Chieftan of this village. Young Don Tomasino is speaking.

We notice in a little distance in the rear, there are some younger shepherds with shotguns thrown over their shoulders.
