Michael, do you believe in God, the Father almighty,

Creator of Heaven and Earth?

I do.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord?

I do.

Do you believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church?

I do.

Michael Francis Rizzi, do you renounce Satan?

I do renounce him.

And all his works?

I do renounce them.

And all his pomps?

I do renounce them.

Michael Rizzi, will you be baptized?

I will.

Michael Rizzi, go in peace,

and may the Lord be with you. Amen.

Kay!

Kiss your godfather.

Carlo, can’t go to Vegas. Something’s come up.

Everybody has to leave without us.

Mike, it’s our first vacation!

Connie, please.

Go back to the house, wait for my call. It’s important.

All right.

I’ll only be a couple of days.

We’re on our way to Brooklyn.

I hope Mike can get us a good deal tonight.

I’m sure he will.

Sal, Tom, the boss says he’ll come in a separate car, so you two go on ahead.

Hell, he can’t do that. It screws up all my arrangements.

Oh, that’s what he said.

I can’t go either, Sal.

Tell Mike it was only business. I always liked him.

He understands that.

Excuse me, Sal.

Tom, can you get me off the hook?

For old times’ sake?

Can’t do it, Sally.

You have to answer for Santino, Carlo.

Mike, you got it all wrong.

You fingered Sonny for Barzini.

That little farce you played with my sister.

You think that could fool a Corleone?

Mike, I’m innocent. I swear on the kids, Mike.

Please, Mike, don’t do this. Sit down.

Don’t do this to me, please.

Barzini is dead.

So is Philip Tattaglia.

Moe Greene.

Strachi. Cuneo.

Today I settle all family business,

so don’t tell me you’re innocent, Carlo.

Admit what you did.

Get him a drink.

Come on.

Don’t be afraid, Carlo.

Come on. Do you think I’d make my sister a widow?

I’m godfather to your son, Carlo.

Go ahead, drink, drink.

No, Carlo, you’re out of the family business. That’s your punishment.

You’re finished. I’m putting you on a plane to Vegas.

Tom.

I want you to stay there. Understand?

Mmm-hmm.

Only don’t tell me you’re innocent.

Because it insults my intelligence. Makes me very angry.

Who approached you?

Tattaglia or Barzini?

It was Barzini.

Good.

There’s a car waiting outside to take you to the airport.

I’ll call your wife and tell her what flight you’re on.

Mike… Come on, get out of my sight.
