mama. mama! here i am!
i know, it was chaos; but anyway, here i am one week late. this is for my mama. you remember merle?
how are the kids?
i got surprises for everybody!
this is swell. where's michael? i've got things to get straight with him and i can't wait on line.
how are you, honey? you've met merle, haven't you. he was with me in vegas.
we're going to europe next week. i want to get passage booked on the queen.
michael.
you're not my father!
because i need money!
it was my father's money; and i'm entitled to what i need. where is tom hagen?
it means we should all live happily for one hundred years. the family. if my father were alive, it'd be true.
merle, have you met my sister-in- law deanna?
mama!
what is it?
can't be.
i'll take care of it in naples.
that son of a bitch!
can i see him?
michael? it's connie.
i want to stay close to home now, is that alright?
is kay coming?
michael, fredo's in the house with mama. he asked for you, and tom said he couldn't see you.
kids, why don't you go outside for a while?
i want to talk to you, michael.
i hated you for so long, michael; for so many years. i think i did things to myself, to hurt myself, so that you would know -- and you would be hurt too. but i understand you now; i think i do. you were being strong for all of us, like papa was. and i forgive you, and want to be close to you now. can't you forgive fredo; he's so sweet, and helpless without you.
you need me, michael. i want to be with you now.
anthony.
he can't go; michael wants to take him into reno.
hurry, anthony.
kay, you have to go.
you have to hurry; he's coming.
anthony, you kiss your mother goodbye!
don't worry; i'm sure he got here on time. the roads from the airport are so windy, it takes forever; i've driven them myself.
i'll bring him out to you as soon as he comes.
don't let me interrupt anything, this will just take a second. here. your father has to have his insulin shot. why don't you go to your room and put your things away, anthony.
whenever i see that lake so cold, i think of poor fredo, drowned. lake tahoe is very cold. they say if a person drowns in it, that the body will remain mid-suspended -- perfectly preserved. some say it will remain forever.
your boy will be right back.
