PRIEST:

Corpus Christi.

ANTHONY:

Amen.

EXT. LAKE TAHOE ESTATE - DAY

The lawns of this great estate on the shore of Lake Tahoe

are covered with guests of a wonderful party to honor the

First Holy Communion of Anthony Corleone, the son of Mr. and

Mrs. Michael Corleone. A full dance orchestra plays music

of the times on a pavilion bandstand built especially for

the occasion. Speedboats roar through the water, pulling

youthful waterskiers; and the pool and private harbor are

filled with laughing, swimming guests. It is Fall of 1958.

MED. VIEW

Anthony, in his Communion suit sits alone at the table,

looking like a lonely young Prince.

KAY (O.S.)

Smile, Anthony. Smile.

He does, and a flash goes off.

PHOTOGRAPHER (O.S.)

Now, one with the whole family.

KAY (O.S.)

Mr. Corleone can't right now...

KAY CORLEONE enters from the side, leading her four year old

daughter, MARY, and MAMA CORLEONE to pose with Anthony.

KAY (O.S.)

...but we'll get one with the ladies.

PHOTOGRAPHER:

All together now, c'mon, Anthony...

CHEESE and

(flash)

KAY:

Thank you.

She smiles as she leaves the photographer, and then lets out

a weary sigh to Mama, as she touches the slightly protruding

belly.

KAY:

Do you think it'll show in the

picture?

MAMA:

Two months never shows. Two months

look like you had a big lunch.

VOICE (O.S.)

Oh, Mrs. Corleone.

A slender, aristocratic WOMAN in her late forties is waving

to KAY.

MRS. BARRETT

Hello, Mrs. Corleone. I'm Fran

Barrett, our place is just down the

lake. This is my husband, Marshall.

KAY:

I'm so happy you could come.

MR. BARRETT

The place is transformed. We've

been watching workmen come and go

all summer.

MRS. BARRETT

Where is Mr. Corleone?

KAY:

A business meeting ran late...but

he promised he wouldn't be long.

Kay puts her arm around little Anthony's shoulder.

KAY:

This is our son Anthony Vito

Corleone. Today he made his First

Holy Communion.

EXT. TAHOE GATE AND KENNELS - DAY

A confusion of cars; arriving and parking. The squad of

parking attendants are supplemented by a whole team of the

local Police, working as high-class parking valets.

A very beautiful, statuesque woman, though slightly drunk,

DEANNA DUNN, slams the door of a powder blue Mercedes and

hurries barefoot through the great stone gate.

DEANNA:

I will not shut my mouth, and keep

your Goddamn hands off of me!

She is followed by a harried, FREDDIE CORLEONE, dressed with

flash in the Hollywood style, and carrying her shoes in his

hands.

FREDO:

Honey! Wait a minute; let's go for

a drive.

DEANNA:

I just had a drive; besides, I want

to see my brother-in-law Michael.

FREDO:

(trying to get her to

put her shoes on)

Yeah, but I don't want him to see

you.
