The Godfather: Part II 教父2 1974 Movie Script

He moves to her; he does love her, and is tender with her.

他走向她；他确实爱她，对她很温柔。

MICHAEL:

How can I let you leave; how can I let you take my children away?

Don't you know me? You understand, it's an impossibility. I would never let it happen; no, never, not if it took all my strength, all my cunning. But in time, soon, you'll feel differently. You see, you'll be happy that I stopped you. I know you. You'll forget about this; you'll forget about the baby we lost... and we'll go on, you and I.

KAY:

The baby I lost...

MICHAEL:

I know what it meant... and I'm prepared to make it up to you. I will make changes; I can.

(he clenches his fist tightly) I CAN change; that I have learned, that I have the strength to change... And we have another child, a boy... and you'll forget the miscarriage.

KAY:

It wasn't a miscarriage. And you with your cunning, couldn't you figure it out! It was an abortion; an abortion, like our marriage is an abortion, something unholy and evil. I don't want your son; I wouldn't bring another of your sons into this world. An abortion, Michael... it was a son, and I had it killed, but this must all end!

VIEW ON MICHAEL:

He had no hint, not in his wildest imagination could he have guessed that she would do such a thing.

KAY:

And I know that now it's over; I knew it then, there would be no way you could ever forgive me, not with this Sicilian thing that goes back two thousand years.

He is silent, though raging -- then, with all his passion, and his strength, he raises his arms, and strikes her across her neck, literally knocking her down to the floor, and hurting her badly.

MICHAEL:

(coldly) You won't take my children.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

EXT. THE CORLEONE ESTATE AT TAHOE - FULL VIEW - DAY A collection of dark cars and black limousines are gathered to one side. A few drivers wait quietly.

And then, to the other extreme of the estate, is a small grouping of about twenty to thirty people, gathered near Michael's house.

MED. CLOSE SHOT Connie Corleone, dressed simply and now showing her age without the carefully applied makeup which we have been used to, kneels down before the shrine of Santa Theresa, and puts down a bouquet of flowers, along with others that have been placed there. We see that some have the simple silk ribbon with the word "Mama" hand-lettered upon it.

Her two children stand close behind her; they had been raised by their Grandmother.

Connie steps back, and moves through the small group of friends and relatives, into Michael's house.

INT. MICHAEL'S HOUSE - CONNIE'S VIEW - DAY Fredo, kneeling by the coffin of his mother in a portion of the house that has been set aside for the wake. Fredo concludes his prayer, wipes away the tears in his eyes and steps away from the coffin.

He stops when he notices Neri, a little distance away, looking at him.

VIEW ON NERI:

After a moment, he nods respectfully to Fredo, and steps forward, moving to the old woman's coffin. Fredo moves to Hagen, who is there with his wife and children.

FREDO:

Tom. Where's Mike?

HAGEN:

(difficult to tell him) He's waiting for you to leave.

FREDO:

Can I talk to him?

HAGEN:

No chance. I'm sorry, Freddie.

CONNIE:

(who has heard this) Can I see him?
