city of god full movie english version subtitles english



Gonna, wanna, kinda, sorta, gotta and 'cause are ways of pronouncing going to, want to, kind of, sort of, have got to (usually with a contraction, i.e. "I've got to" etc.) and because, respectively. Do not use them in English subtitles. Instead, use the full form (e.g. going to where you hear gonna). The only exception is when the speaker uses these forms purposefully, to affect a certain kind of dialect or idiosyncrasy of speech.

FADE FROM BLACK: Int. of Don Corleone's home office -dayBONASERA (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 honor. So they beat her, like an animal. When I went to the hospital, her nose was a'broken. 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.[Bonasera breaks down. The Don gestures to Sonny to give Bonasera a drink]Sorry...[Bonasera, taking the drink, sips from the shot glass]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 didn't you come to me first?BONASERAWhat do you want of me? Tell me anything. But do what I beg you to do.VITO CORLEONEWhat is that?[Bonasera gets up to whisper his request into Don Corleone's ear]That I cannot do. BONASERAI'll give you anything you ask.VITO CORLEONEWe've known each other many years, but this is the first time you came to me for counsel, for help. I can't remember the last time that you invited me to your house for a cup of coffee, even though my wife is godmother to your only child. But let's be frank here: you never wanted my friendship. And uh, you were afraid to be in my debt.BONASERAI didn't want to get into trouble.VITO CORLEONEI understand. You found paradise in America, had a good trade, made a good living. The police protected you; and there were courts of law. And you didn't need a friend of me. But uh, now you come to me and you say -- "Don Corleone give me justice." -- But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you uh ask me to do murder, for money.BONASERAI ask you for justice.VITO CORLEONEThat is not justice; your daughter is still alive.BONASERAThen they can suffer then, as she suffers. (then)How much shall I pay you?VITO CORLEONE (stands, turning his back toward Bonasera)Bonasera... Bonasera... What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? Had you come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And that by chance if an honest man such as yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you.BONASERABe my friend --(then, after bowing and the Don shrugs)-- Godfather?VITO CORLEONE (after Bonasera kisses his hand)Good.(then)Some day, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But uh, until that day -- accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.BONASERA (as he leaves the room)Grazie, Godfather.VITO CORLEONEPrego.(then, to Tom Hagen, after Bonasera leaves the room)Ah, give this to ah, Clemenza.

And within an hour, he signed a release, for a certified check for $1,000.KAYHow'd he do that?MICHAELMy father made him an offer he couldn't refuse.KAYWhat was that?MICHAELLuca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his brains -- or his signature -- would be on the contract.

And I'm gonna run him out of the business, and let me tell you why.(then, after he stands)Johnny Fontane ruined one of Woltz International's most valuable proteges. For five years we had her under training. Singing lessons; acting lessons, dancing lessons. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on her. I was gonna make her a big star! And let me be even more frank, just to show you that I'm not a hard-hearted man, and it's not all dollars and cents. She was beautiful; she was young, she was innocent. She was the greatest piece of ass I ever had, and I had'em all over the world! And then Johnny Fontane comes along with his olive-oil voice, and guinea charm. And she runs off. She threw it all away just to make me look ridiculous! And a man in my position can't afford to be made to look ridiculous! Now you get the hell outta here! And if that gumbah tries any rough stuff, you tell him I ain't no band leader! Yeah, I heard that story....TOMThank you for the dinner and a very pleasant evening.

I slept on the plane.(then, as we see Sollozzo entering the Don's office from the street)I have the Sollozzo notes here. Now -- Sollozzo is known as 'The Turk.' He's supposed to be very good with a knife, but only in matters of business or some sort of reasonable complaint. Uh, his business is narcotics. He has fields in Turkey where they grow the poppy. And in Sicily he has the plants to process them into heroin. Now -- he needs cash, and he needs protection from the police, for which he gives a piece of the action -- I couldn't find out how much. The Tattaglia family is behind him here in New York. Now they have to be in it for something.CUT TO: Sonny introducing himself to Sollozzo, shaking hands -daySONNYSonny Corleone...CUT TO: Back to Don, Sonny and Tom before the meeting -eveningVITO CORLEONEWhat about his prison record?TOMTwo terms.

Whattaya think?SONNYThere's a lot of money in that white powder.VITO CORLEONETom?TOM [Sollozzo scenes still intercut]Well, I say yes. There's more money potential in narcotics than anything else we're looking at. Now if we don't get into it, somebody else will. Maybe one of the Five Families, maybe all of them. Now with the money they earn, they can buy more police and political power; then they come after us. Now we have the unions, we have the gambling; an' they're the best things to have. But narcotics is a thing of the future. An' if we don't get a piece of that action, we risk everything we have -- I mean not now, but ah ten years from now.SONNYSo, what's your answer gonna be, Pop?CUT TO: Sollozzo meeting in Don Corleone's Genco office. Scene includes the Don, Sollozzo, Tom, Sonny, Fredo, Clemenza, and Tessio sitting in Room #2 -daySOLLOZZOBene. Don Corleone. I need a man who has powerful friends. I need a million dollars in cash.

In the first year, your end should be three- four-million dollars. And then it would go up.VITO CORLEONEAnd what is the interest for the Tattaglia Family?SOLLOZZO (to Tom)My compliments.(then to Don Corleone)I'll take care of the Tattaglia's, outta my share. VITO CORLEONESo I receive thirty percent for finance -- political influence, and legal protection, that's what your telling me? SOLLOZZOThat's rightVITO CORLEONEWhy do you come to me? Why do I deserve this generosity?SOLLOZZOIf you consider a million dollars in cash just finance, te salute, Don Corleone.VITO CORLEONE (gets up to pour Sollozzo another drink)I said that I would see you because, I heard that you're a serious man, to be treated with respect. (then, after sitting)But uh, I must say "no" to you -- and I'll give you my reasons. It's true, I have a lot of friends in politics, but they wouldn't be friendly very long if they knew my business was drugs instead of gambling, which they rule that as a -- harmless vice. But drugs is a dirty business.SOLLOZZODon Corleone...VITO CORLEONEIt -- makes -- it doesn't make any difference to me what a man does for a living, understand. But your business is ah -- a little dangerous.SOLLOZZOIf you're worried about security for your million, the Tattaglia's will guarantee it.SONNYAw, you're telling me that the Tattaglia's guarantee our investment?VITO CORLEONE (to Sonny)Wait a minute... [Clemenza and Tom look at each other, realizing Sonny's faux pas. Sollozzo notices]VITO CORLEONE (to Sollozzo)I have a sentimental weakness for my children, and I spoil them as you can see; they talk when they should listen. But, anyway, Signor Sollozzo, my no is final, and I wish to congratulate you on your new business, and I know you'll do very well; and good luck to you -- as best as your interests don't conflict with my interests. Thank you. [the group begins to leave the room: Sollozzo, Clemenza, Tessio, then Fredo]VITO CORLEONESantino, come're. Whattsa matter with you? I think your brain is going soft from all that comedy your playing with that young girl.
