BONASERA:
America has made me fortune
(As he speaks, THE VIEW imperceptibly begin to loosen)
BONASERA:
I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but taught her never to dishonor her family. She found a boy friend ,not an Italian. She went to the movies with him, stayed out late. Two month ago he took her for a drive, with another boy friend. They made her drink whisky and then tried to take advantage of her. She resisted. She kept her honor. So they beat her like an animal. When I went to the hospital , her nose was broken , her jaw was shattered and held together by wire , and she could not even weep because of pain.
(He can barely speak. He is weeping now.)
BONASERA:
I went to the police like a good American. These two boys were arrested and brought to trial. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison , and suspended sentence! They went free that very day. I stood in the courtroom like a fool , and those bastard , they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, for Justice , we must go to The Godfather.
(By now , THE VIEW is full , and we seen Don Corleone’s office in his home)
(The blinds are closed , and so the room is dark , and with patterned shadows. We are watching BONASERA over the shoulder of DON CORLEONE. TOM HAGEN sits near a small table , examining some paperwork , and SONNY CORLEONE stand impatiently by the window nearest his father , sipping from a glass of wine. We can hear music , and the laughter and voices of many people outside.)
DON CORLEONE:
Bonasera , we know each other for years , but this is the first time you come to me for help. I don’t remember the last time you invited me to your house for coffee…even though our wives are friends.
