FADE FROM BLACK: Int. of Don Corleone's home office -day
BONASERA (seated in front of the Don's desk, facing the camera)
I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the
American fashion. I gave her freedom, but -- I taught her never to dishonor her family. She
found a boyfriend; not an Italian. She went to the movies with him; she stayed out late. I
didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive, with another boyfriend. They made
her drink whiskey. And then they tried to take advantage of her. She resisted. She kept her

Her jaw was a'shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't even weep because of the pain.
But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life -- beautiful girl. Now she will
never be beautiful again.

What do you want of me? Tell me anything. But do what I beg you to do.
VITO CORLEONE

That I cannot do.
BONASERA
