It's Clemenza. SONNY *after letting him in*: What? CLEMENZA *entering*: There's more news about your old man. The word is out on the street that he's already dead. SONNY: Watch your mouth. What's the matter with you? CLEMENZA *after being pushed up against the wall*: Jesus Christ; take it easy...take it easy SONNY: Where was Paulie? CLEMENZA: Paulie was out sick. He been calling sick all winter. SONNY: How many times has he been sick? CLEMENZA: Only maybe three or four times. I mean – SONNY: 3, 4 times?

SOLLOZZO'S VOICE *over the phone*: We have Tom Hagen. In about three hours he'll be released with our proposition. Sonny checks his watch, then writes the time onto the kitchen cabinet. SOLLOZZO'S VOICE *over the phone, continues*: Listen to everything he has to say before you do anything. What's done is done. *then* And don't lose that famous temper of yours, uh Sonny? SONNY *into the phone*: No, I'll wait... Sollozzo hangs up, then Sonny hangs up. CUT TO: INT. AN ABANDONED DINER – NIGHT [Sollozzo with kidnapped Tom Hagen.] SOLLOZZO *drinking coffee, to Tom*: Your boss is dead. I know you're not in the muscle-end of the family, Tom, so I don't want you to be scared. I want you to help the Corleone's, and I want you to help me. *handing Tom a drink* Yeah, we got him outside his office just about an hour after we picked you up. *then* Drink it. *then* So now it's up to you to make the peace between me and Sonny. *then* Sonny was hot for my deal, wasn't he? And you knew it was the right thing to do. TOM: Sonny'll come after you with everything he's got. SOLLOZZO: That'll be his first reaction, sure. That's why you gotta talk some sense into him. The Tattaglia family is behind me with all their people. The other New York Families will go along with anything that will prevent a full-scale war. Let's face it, Tom, and all due respect, the Don, rest in peace, was slippin'. Ten years ago could I have gotten to him? *then* Well now he's dead. He's dead, Tom, and nothing can bring him back. So you gotta talk to Sonny, you gotta talk to the caporegimes, that Tessio and Fat Clemenza. *then* It's good business, Tom. TOM: I'll try, but even Sonny won't be able to call off Luca Brasi. SOLLOZZO: Yeah, well, let me worry about Luca. *then* You just talk to Sonny – and the other two kids. TOM: I'll do my best. SOLLOZZO: Good. Now, you can go. *while walking out* I don't like violence, Tom. I'm a business man. Blood is a big expense. Outside, a car, sounding its horn, pulls up; Sollozzo goes to talk to them, and returns. SOLLOZZO: He's still alive. They hit 'em with five shots, and he's still alive! Well that's bad luck for me, and bad luck for you if you don't make that deal! CUT TO: MICHAEL ARRIVES AT CORLEONE COMPOUND – NIGHT [A car drop him off at the gate, and he goes inside, seeing family and friends.] CLEMENZA *sitting with his wife, stands to greet Michael*: Mike, your mother's over in the hospital with your father; looks like he's gonna pull through, thank God. CUT TO: THE DON'S OFFICE – NIGHT [With Sonny, Tom, Mike, Tessio, & Clemenza.] SONNY *b.g., to Tom*: Whattaya think? TOM *b.g., to Sonny*: Too much... SONNY *b.g., to Tom*: Huh? CLEMENZA *b.g., to Tessio*: ... it's a lot of bad blood. Sollozzo, Philip Tattaglia, Bruno Tattaglia; Garbone...
