VIEW ON MICHAEL:

makes no outward reaction.

MICHAEL:

(quietly) We're all part of the same hypocrisy, Senator. But never think it applies to my family.

SENATOR GEARY:

All right, then let me say you'll pay me because it's in your interests to pay me.

VIEW ON GEARY:

rising.

SENATOR GEARY:

I'll expect your answer, with payment, by tomorrow morning. Only don't contact me...from now on, deal only through Turnbull.

He is almost out the door.

MICHAEL:

Senator... (cold and calm) ...you can have my answer now if you'd like.

Geary turns back.

MICHAEL:

My offer is this. Nothing...not even the thousand dollars for the Gaming Commission, which I'd appreciate if you would put up personally.

Geary returns Michael's hard look; then laughs and leaves.

Slowly Michael turns to Hagen.

VIEW ON HAGEN:

embarrassed at being so off the mark.

MICHAEL:

It's all right, Tom, we'll talk later. Tell Frankie Pentangeli I'd like him to have dinner at my family table before we do business.

EXT. THE PAVILION - NIGHT Now the light has faltered, and the young waiters have put up the night lights. The tables are all properly set for dinner, with candles on each one.

The orchestra is playing quiet, unobtrusive dinner music, and many of the guests have begun to help themselves to the impressive buffet, under a party tent.

MED. VIEW Michael sits at a large table with Kay, his son Anthony, Mama, Hagen and TERESA, Connie and Merle' Fredo and Deanna, and Frankie Pentangeli.

MAMA:

Cent' Anne.

This, the table of honor, all raise their glasses and repeat the toast.

DEANNA:

What's 'cent' Anne?'

FREDO:

A hundred years...it's a toast.

CONNIE:

It means we should all live happily for one hundred years. The family.

If my Father were alive, it'd be true.

MAMA:

Connie.

CONNIE:

Merle, have you met my sister-in- law Deanna?

DEANNA:

What a pleasure, Merle.
