The Godfather: Part II 教父2 1974 Movie Script

MICHAEL:

I want it met.

HAGEN:

(understanding) Mike, it's impossible. He'll be met by the Internal Revenue; the Customs Service, and half the FBI.

MICHAEL:

I don't like it when you use the word impossible; nothing is impossible...

HAGEN:

Mike, it would be like trying to kill the President; there's no way we can get to him.

MICHAEL:

I'm surprised at you, Tom. If there's anything certain; certain in life; if history has taught us anything, it's that you can kill... (he stops, then coldly) ANYBODY. But perhaps your relucatance is because you've come to tell me that you're moving your family to Vegas, that you've been offered the Vice-Presidency of the Houstan Hotels there. Or weren't you going to tell me at all?

HAGEN:

Are you so hungry for traitors; do you want to find them everywhere?

MICHAEL:

They are everywhere!

HAGEN:

I turned Houstan down; I didn't see why I should tell you about an offer I turned down.

(Michael begins to confuse him) Are you sure, Mikey? Are you sure of what we're doing; what we'll gain; what does the family gain?

Forget that, Mike; I already know the answer.

MICHAEL:

I know you do, Tom. Then I can count on you to help me do the things I have to do. If not, call Houstan, and become a Vice-President.

Take your family and your mistress and move them to Las Vegas.

HAGEN:

Why do you hurt me, Michael? I've always been loyal to you.

MICHAEL:

Good. Then you're staying.

HAGEN:

I'm staying.

(he pauses...then, without being asked) Don't ever enjoy the cruel part of all this; Sonny never listened to me about that.

(then he sits down, and opens his briefcase) Now, explain everything to me.

EXT. THE HARBOR - DAY Fredo sits with Anthony, with a silly-looking fishing hat on his head, covered with lure and flies.

FREDO:

Anthony, ole buddy, your Uncle Fredo's gonna teach you how to catch the big fish. You know, when I was a kid, I did this amazing thing. I went out on a fishing trip; me and my brothers and my Pop, and no one could catch a fish except me. And this was my secret: (confidentially) Every time I would put the line down I would say a "Hail Mary" and every time I said a "Hail Mary" I would catch a fish. Now, when it's sunset, we're gonna go out on the lake, and we're gonna try it.

INT. GUARDED HOUSE - DAY The guards step aside as Tom Hagen enters the foyer of the house. He shows a court order to them and they lead him up the stairs where he knocks on the door.

INT. GUARDED HOUSE - DAY There is a KNOCK at the door. The two guards show Hagen in and Hagen presents the court order to one of the FBI men.

HAGEN:

I think I prefer to see my client privately.

PENTANGELI:

The room has a bug in it.

HAGEN:

(to the FBI men) I'd like to go outside with him, in the open air.

FBI MAN #1 This room is not bugged.
