Don Corleones home office – day BONASERA (seated in front of the Dons 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 didnt 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 honor. So they beat her, like an animal. When I went to the hospital, her nose was abroken. Her jaw was ashutted, held together by wire. She couldnt 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. Bonasera breaks down. The Don gestures to Sonny to give Bonasera a drink. BONASERA Sorry... Bonasera, taking the drink, sips from the shot glass. BONASERA I-I went to the police, like a good American. These two boys were brought to trial. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison – suspended sentence. Suspended sentence! They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool. And those two bastard, they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, for justice, we must go to Don Corleone. VITO CORLEONE (sitting behind his desk, petting a cat) Why did you go to the police? Why didnt you come to me first? BONASERA What do you want of me?
