HAGEN:
You have guards outside and the electric fence. There's no security reason for not letting us talk in the yard.
FBI MAN #1 Okay.
They pass out of the room.
EXT. THE ARMY POST - DAY Hagen and Pentangeli outside, by the electric fence. They cannot be overheard. Pentangeli takes out some cigars and offers Hagen one. Hagen takes it and Pentangeli lights both their cigars. They puff on them contentedly. They are comfortable together, almost.
HAGEN:
Everything is going to be okay, Frankie, don't worry.
PENTANGELI:
Did my brother go back?
HAGEN:
Yeah, but don't worry.
PENTANGELI:
He's ten times tougher than me, my brother. He's old-fashioned.
HAGEN:
Yeah. He wouldn't even go out to dinner. Just wanted to go home.
PENTANGELI:
That's my brother. Nothing could get him away from that two mule town. He coulda been big over here -- he could of had his own Family.
HAGEN:
You're right.
PENTANGELI:
Tom, what do I do now?
The light is beginning to turn reddish as the sun falls.
HAGEN:
Frankie, you were always interested in politics, in history. I remember you talking about Hitler back in '43. We were young then.
PENTANGELI:
Yeah, I still read a lot. They bring me stuff.
HAGEN:
You were around the old timers who dreamed up how the Families should be organized, how they based it on the old Roman Legions, and called them 'Regimes'... with the 'Capos' and 'Soldiers,' and it worked.
PENTANGELI:
Yeah, it worked. Those were great old days. We was like the Roman Empire. The Corleone family was like the Roman Empire.
HAGEN:
(sadly) Yeah, it was once.
They both puff on their cigars. Pentangeli lets himself be carried away by thoughts of old days of glory; Hagen thinks of other days too.
HAGEN:
(very gently) The Roman Empire... when a plot against the Emperor failed, the plotters were always given a chance to let their families keep their fortunes.
PENTANGELI:
Yeah, but only the rich guys. The little guys got knocked off. If they got arrested and executed, all their estate went to the Emperor.
If they just went home and killed themselves, up front, nothing happened.
HAGEN:
Yeah, that was a good break. A nice deal.
Pentangeli looks at Hagen; he understands.
PENTANGELI:
They went home and sat in a hot bath and opened their veins, and bled to death. Sometimes they gave a little party before they did it.
