"Well, you two probably have a lot to talk about." "Yes." "No." "Uh, you two have a lot not to talk about, in which case I'll still leave." "Corinne." "You know, Corinne, in life, people make mistakes." "Little mistakes and big mistakes." "And I made a big mistake." "Well, actually, I made a huge mistake and I am sorry." "I..." "You have no idea how terribly sorry I am." "But you see, I thought if I told you what a mistake I had made, and how sorry I was, that it would make everything all right." "But, uh, now that I'm hearing it, I realise that it's just not enough." "And I guess it probably won't be enough for a long time to come." "But I still want to say it." "I am sorry." "I'm a mother and I know you..." "You think I should have known better." "But Corinne, knowing better doesn't always work out." "So I'm sorry." "But I guess I'm..."

"What happened, from the beginning?" "Well, it all started two months ago when Chester gave me a tennis racket." "I don't know why he gave me a tennis racket." "I never said I wanted one." "I may have mentioned I wanted a Cuisinart but I never once mentioned that I wanted a tennis racket." "Oh, Mary, have you got a Cuisinart?" "They are wonderful." "You can just throw your knives away." "You'll never have to chop food again." "What happened, Jess?" "When I first got mine, all the food turned to mush..." "Jessica." "What happened?" "Oh, well..." "Well, Chester gave me this tennis racket and I didn't want to appear ungrateful, Mary." "So I had to take tennis lessons." "And because I took tennis lessons, I met Peter." "And because I met Peter," "[WHISPERING] I slept with him." "Because I slept with him," "[IN NORMAL VOICE] now Chester's probably gonna find out." "And when Chester finds out, my entire life is gonna be ruined." "And it's all because Chester gave me a tennis racket." "This is actually Chester's fault." "Mary?" "Mary, Mary, have I got news." "I just got this cable at work." "My son, Chuck, is coming here from Hawaii." "Burt, this is signed "Chuck and Bob." Who's Bob?" "Oh, it's nobody." "Well, he's obviously somebody, Burt because he's coming and he doesn't eat meat." "Who doesn't eat meat?" "Bob." "Who's Bob?" "I don't know." "Somebody who's coming with Chuck." "Who's Chuck?" "Burt's son." "Who's Bob?" "I don't even know who Chuck is." "Who's Bob?" "It's a dummy." "Burt, I didn't ask you for his IQ, I asked you who he was." "A dummy." "Well, your son Peter's no genius, either." "Where's Peter?" "He's a dummy." "But he's sweet, Burt." "No, no, no, Bob." "Bob's a dummy." "You know, a little wooden doll." "A wooden doll?" "Let me get this straight." "Your son, Chuck, is coming here from Hawaii with Bob, his little wooden doll." "Right." "And you thought I had problems?" "Come on, come on." "I got him Bob when he was a little kid." "Bob?" "Bob, yeah." "Well, yeah, see, we don't refer to him as a dummy because it kind of upsets Chuck." "Not to mention driving Bob completely crazy." "No, now, he's had Bob all his life." "He took him everywhere." "He took him to school, to camp, into the Army..." "He took a doll into the Army?" "At least he could get into the Army." "Special services, Vietnam." "They entertained the troops." "I'm sure they did." "Hey, hey, hey." "He won a medal." "Who?" "Chuck or Bob?" "Chuck." "Mary, I have to go now." "I have to go and see what new disaster's befallen me." "Well, goodbye, Burt." "I am so happy that two more of your sons are coming." "One son." "The other's a dummy." "Well, smart or dumb, they're your children and you love them." "[♪♪♪]" "[SPEAKING IN LATIN]" "Tim?" "[CONTINUES SPEAKING IN LATIN]" "I had to come, Tim." "I had to see you one last time." "I moved in with that man I told you about." "But I had to see you once more and tell you how I feel." "I love you, Tim." "I know it's crazy to want you." "I mean, people would say, "Why him?" "Why Tim?" "He's not that terrific-looking."" "I mean, you're cute, Tim, but face it, you're no Al Pacino." "And who knows what your body is like under that outfit." "Look at you, you go around wearing a little black dress." "But I still want you." "Tim, please?" "I'll leave him." "Come with me." "I know you want to." "If you left, God would understand." "He's seen a lot." "He's millions of years old." "What do you think there is that he hasn't seen?" "No, huh?" "Tim, could you stop praying for just a minute?" "It's making me kind of crazy." "Okay, fine." "It doesn't matter, you won't drown me out." "You're gonna hear this before I leave forever." "I will stay with this man, Tim, but I will always think of you." "When he takes me in his arms, I'll pretend it's you." "And when he whispers my name, I'll pretend it's you." "And when I'm with him, I'll pretend it's you." "So that's it, Tim." "All the praying in the world will not stop me from loving you." "Goodbye, Tim." "I love you." "Father Tim?" "Father Tim." "Take it easy." "God is not deaf." "[♪♪♪]" "Godfather?"

"[MUTTERING]" "You know what this is here?" "Uh-uh." "Tomato bugs." "These bugs live for only one thing in life:" "Destroying tomato plants." "Hey, nice work, huh?" "Aye." "What I want to know is this:" "In the middle of the largest city in the world, where there is no agriculture to speak of, on the roof of a 20-storey building, how they know there's tomatoes here, huh?" "I don't know." "Eh." "Hey, maybe there was a couple of bugs on a farm somewhere in the Midwest, and one bug said to the other bug:" ""Hey, let's go see what's doing in Manhattan, huh?"" "[LAUGHING]" "That's not funny, Danny." "These tomatoes are dying." "These tomato plants are dying and I can't save them." "Oh, Danny, I've been reading the obituaries the last few days and I look, and I look, and never do I see the name of Burt Campbell." "And I ask myself, "Hey, why don't I see this name?"" "Well, uh, it's because he's not dead yet." "Ah." "Well, that certainly clears up the mystery, eh?" "I was thinking that probably was it." "Yeah, that was it." "What are you waiting for, Danny, huh?" "He should die of old age?" "Godfather, I just don't know how to do it." "You don't have to be an engineer, Danny." "You take the gun." "You point it." "You pull the trigger." "Be nice if he was in the room." "So, Danny, you be a nice boy, huh?" "You go home and kill Burt." "Godfather, I just can't do it." "Look, I know you said in order for me to leave" "I had to do you a favour." "Yeah." "Okay, but couldn't you give me something else to do?" "Oh, my." "What did you have in mind, Danny?" "You wanna clean out my garage?" "You wanna simonise the limousine?" "A deal's a deal, Danny." "Besides, it's out of my hands now." "I'm sorry." "Mr. Lefkowitz wants it done." "Well, couldn't I talk to Mr. Lefkowitz?" "No way." "Please, Danny." "Lefkowitz talks to nobody, nobody." "Mr. Lefkowitz doesn't even talk to Mrs. Lefkowitz." "First of all, you can't pry him away from his cockamamie stamp collecti..." "Godfather, I can't do it." "I just can't do it." "All right, Danny." "You listen to me now, eh?" "Come over here." "This is your last chance." "You take this key." "This is a key to a remote cabin in the woods where, in the next two days, you will kill Burt." "You invite him to go fishing with you..." "Fishing?" "Well, if you tell him the real reason" "I don't think he's gonna wanna go, eh?" "All right." "In the cabin, there's a fireplace." "In the chimney of the fireplace, there's a gun." "The body, you just leave there, and we'll take care of it." "Danny?" "Wait." "You're such a handsome boy, nice-looking, you know." "I don't want to see your body in Brooklyn, your face in the Bronx." "That would upset me." "Godfather, I just can't do it." "GODFATHER:" "You just destroyed my only healthy tomato plant." "And you seriously injured my doorman." "I think you can kill Burt." "[♪♪♪]" "[♪♪♪]" "ANNOUNCER:" "Will Corinne find happiness with Peter?" "Will Jessica find happiness without Peter?"
