The Godfather: Part II Page #2
MOSCA:
(Sicilian O.S.)
...misery to any family who harbors
the boy, Vito...
INT. A BARN - NIGHT
Four little girls watch with wide eyes as their mother and
father bind Vito tightly in swaddled cloth, and then lift
him up to the side of a mule; counter-balancing a heavy load
of firewood. The father looks at the boy's almost stoically
calm little face.
FATHER:
(Sicilian)
Vito...We pray for you.
He pulls the fabric over the boy's face.
MOSCA:
(Sicilian O.S.)
...Andolini...
STROLLO:
(Sicilian O.S.)
Our Friend promises misery to any
family...
The men continue on their night-walk, up to the plaza of the
church.
STROLLO:
(Sicilian)
...who harbors the boy Vitone
Andolini.
The figure of a single man on a mule passes them.
MOSCA:
(Sicilian)
Let no one give help to the boy
Vito Andolini...
The man on the mule makes his way out of the village and
disappears into the distance.
We begin to hear, very quietly, the Waltz repeated once again.
EXT. STEAMSHIP - CLOSE VIEW ON VITO - DAY
huddled in blankets, on the deck of the ship in Steerage.
He does not say a word. The Waltz grows louder as the VIEW
ALTERS, revealing the hundreds of immigrant families huddled
together with all their earthly possessions on their way to
America.
Then, suddenly, the Waltz stops.
SILENCE. We glide past the Statue of Liberty.
VIEW on the IMMIGRANTS standing on shipboard silently;
looking. Vito is standing with them, his eyes wide.
CAMERA MOVES IN on the statue, then MOVING PAST, on to the
beautiful buildings of Ellis Island.
A tugboat pulls a barge brimming with immigrants into the
Ellis Island harbor. Uniformed officials of the Immigration
Service load them up toward the main building.
INT. ELLIS PROCESSING HALL - DAY
The hundreds of immigrant families sit on rows of benches in
the great hall. Various painted lines lead to the steps and
processing rooms above.
There is the babble of many interviews going on
simultaneously, uncertainly, in different languages.
Vito is bundled in an old coat, with a large tag pinned on
it:
"Vitone Andolini -- Corleone, Sicilia."He stands, moves up in the line, when several other immigrant
boys, older than he, rush up an push him back in the line.
Weak from the trip, he falls to the floor. The boys laugh,
derisive in a language he cannot understand. He struggles
to his feet, lifting his makeshift bags; staring at them in
an icy hatred.
INT. PROCESSING ROOM - DAY
Three or four interviews are crowded into the small room;
they are conducted in English. From the expression on
Vito's face, and from the fragmented of the English, we
realize that he doesn't understand a word of it.
