THE GODFATHER, PART II Page 8 GEARY: I was under the impression that you and I would talk alone. MICHAEL: I trust these men with my life, Senator. If I were to ask them to leave, it would be an insult. GEARY: Well - it's perfectly all right with me but I should tell you that I am a blunt man and I intend to - speak very frankly to you. Maybe - more frankly than (OFF) anyone in my position's ever talked to you before. The Corleone family has done very well here in Nevada. (ON) You own or - you control two major hotels in Vegas, one in Reno. The licenses were grandfathered in so there was no - problem with the Gaming Commission. (OFF) Now - my sources tell me that - you plan to make a move against the Tropigala. (OFF) They tell me that within a week you're gonna move Klingman out. (OFF) That's quite an expansion. However it will leave you with one little - technical problem. Ahhh! (THUMP OF GLASS) GEARY: The license will still be in Klingman's name. (MUSIC, OFF) MICHAEL: Turnbull is a good man. GEARY: Yeah well let's - let's cut out the bullshit; I don't want to spend any more time here than I have to.

(ON) Of all four hotels, Mr. -- Corleone. MICHAEL: Now the price - for the license is less than twenty thousand dollars, am I right? GEARY: (OFF) That's right. MICHAEL: Now why would I ever consider paying more than that? GEARY: Because I intend to squeeze you. I don't like your kind of people. I don't like to see you come out to this clean country in - oily hair (OFF) and dressed up in those silk suits, and try to pass yourselves off (OFF) as decent Americans. I'll do business with you but the fact is that (ON) I despise your masquerade - the dishonest way you pose yourself - yourself and your whole fucking family. MICHAEL: Senator - we're both part of the same hypocrisy. But never think it applies to my family. GEARY: All right, all right. Some people have to play little games. You play yours. GEARY: (OFF) So let's just say that you'll pay me because it's in your interest to pay me. (ON) But I want your answer and your money by noon tomorrow. And one more thing - (OFF) don't you contact me again, ever. (ON) From now on you deal with Turnbull. Open that door, son. MICHAEL: Senator -- you can have my answer now if you like. THE GODFATHER, PART II Page 10 MICHAEL: My offer is this. Nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license (OFF) which I would appreciate if you would put up personally. GEARY: (LAUGHS) Good afternoon, gentlemen.
