714
00:31:26,101 --> 00:31:28,277
We're calling it...
715
00:31:28,407 --> 00:31:30,409
"Part II."
716
00:31:30,540 --> 00:31:31,454
BOB:
Well, I love it.
717
00:31:31,584 --> 00:31:34,152
Sells the saga.
718
00:31:34,283 --> 00:31:38,243
So, come on,
what--what are you thinking?
719
00:31:38,374 --> 00:31:41,594
Vito Corleone is not dead.
720
00:31:43,422 --> 00:31:44,423
I'm sorry?
721
00:31:44,554 --> 00:31:46,077
They put him
in the fucking ground.
722
00:31:46,208 --> 00:31:47,687
What are you talking about?
Is he a ghost?
723
00:31:47,818 --> 00:31:50,908
'Cause Brando will not--
will not play a fucking ghost.
724
00:31:51,039 --> 00:31:53,606
The old man is dead,
725
00:31:53,737 --> 00:31:57,306
but the young man
who first comes to America...
726
00:31:57,436 --> 00:31:58,916
is alive.
727
00:31:59,047 --> 00:32:00,657
FRANCIS: It takes place
turn of the century,
728
00:32:00,787 --> 00:32:02,659
young immigrant Vito,
729
00:32:02,789 --> 00:32:05,314
who, with a sense of justice
and brutality,
730
00:32:05,444 --> 00:32:08,143
becomes the feared
and powerful businessman.
731
00:32:08,273 --> 00:32:11,102
It's still a commentary
on capitalism.
732
00:32:11,233 --> 00:32:14,323
Ruddy doesn't like it.
You don't like it?
733
00:32:14,453 --> 00:32:15,628
No, no.
734
00:32:17,021 --> 00:32:17,979
I think everything you guys
are saying sounds great,
735
00:32:18,109 --> 00:32:20,329
but, uh, I mean, no Michael.
736
00:32:20,459 --> 00:32:22,157
No Michael?
of course, Michael.
737
00:32:22,287 --> 00:32:23,897
He--he's the Don now.
738
00:32:24,028 --> 00:32:25,464
Oh, thank fuck.
739
00:32:25,595 --> 00:32:27,423
FRANCIS: Takes place in
the two time periods
740
00:32:27,553 --> 00:32:29,207
so we can play
the juxtaposition
741
00:32:29,338 --> 00:32:31,862
of Vito Corleone building up
his family, his empire,
742
00:32:31,993 --> 00:32:34,430
while Michael watches
his family fracture.
743
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,389
It's just like this country
as it hurdles toward the '60s.
744
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,001
Well, I can see you haven't
given this much thought.
745
00:32:40,131 --> 00:32:41,567
No, none.
[chuckles]
746
00:32:41,698 --> 00:32:44,440
BOB: Come on, keep going.
You got me. I'm interested.
747
00:32:44,570 --> 00:32:46,398
PERSON ON TV: Many of them
leaving a year to the day
748
00:32:46,529 --> 00:32:49,227
from the time they arrived.
749
00:32:49,358 --> 00:32:51,099
Ruddy, the TV's here.
750
00:32:51,229 --> 00:32:53,057
That's the fireplace.Elizabeth Taylor.
751
00:32:53,188 --> 00:32:55,799
Oh, I love Liz.
752
00:32:55,929 --> 00:32:56,887
That was a fun night.
753
00:32:57,018 --> 00:32:59,498
You know,
I saw her one time.
754
00:32:59,629 --> 00:33:01,805
It was right before
I pitched "Hogan's Heroes,"
755
00:33:01,935 --> 00:33:04,764
and she took my breath away.
756
00:33:04,895 --> 00:33:06,331
Feels like 100 years ago now.
757
00:33:06,462 --> 00:33:07,985
Well, that's because
you're not on the outside
758
00:33:08,116 --> 00:33:10,074
looking in anymore.Oh, come on.
759
00:33:10,205 --> 00:33:12,076
You never get used to
Liz Taylor, right?
760
00:33:12,207 --> 00:33:14,600
That's right.
You never do.
761
00:33:14,731 --> 00:33:15,732
Ooh.
762
00:33:15,862 --> 00:33:17,299
But before we tell you
763
00:33:17,429 --> 00:33:19,475
about the sunny
Southern California weather,
764
00:33:19,605 --> 00:33:21,520
let's find out which pictures
were nominated
765
00:33:21,651 --> 00:33:24,045
for this year's
45th Academy Awards.
766
00:33:24,175 --> 00:33:25,133
Gigantic long shot.
767
00:33:25,263 --> 00:33:26,438
Doesn't even matter.Not at all.
768
00:33:26,569 --> 00:33:28,832
Biggest box office
of all time.
769
00:33:28,962 --> 00:33:31,139
We already won.
770
00:33:31,269 --> 00:33:33,054
PERSON ON TV:
First up, the nominees chosen
771
00:33:33,184 --> 00:33:34,403
by members of the Academy
772
00:33:34,533 --> 00:33:36,840
for Actress
in a Supporting Role.
773
00:33:36,970 --> 00:33:42,454
Here's to
11 fucking nominations.
774
00:33:42,585 --> 00:33:44,848
[glasses clink]Unbelievable.
775
00:33:44,978 --> 00:33:47,068
Oh.Oh, now, that is nice.
776
00:33:47,198 --> 00:33:48,808
That's a 1954 Macallan
Single Malt,
777
00:33:48,939 --> 00:33:50,158
aged in God's finest barrel.
778
00:33:50,288 --> 00:33:52,812
Special drink
for a special occasion.
779
00:33:52,943 --> 00:33:54,162
Ooh.
780
00:33:54,292 --> 00:33:56,903
I'm only gonna say this, Ruddy.
781
00:33:57,034 --> 00:33:59,210
I want this so bad,
782
00:33:59,341 --> 00:34:02,083
I will fuck the entire Academy
if I have to.
783
00:34:02,213 --> 00:34:03,736
What happened to
"we already won"?
784
00:34:03,867 --> 00:34:05,129
[chuckles]
Sure, sure.
785
00:34:05,260 --> 00:34:08,089
But there are other prizes
to be had now.
786
00:34:08,219 --> 00:34:09,873
You're still talking
about the Oscars?
787
00:34:10,003 --> 00:34:11,309
Hey, I got plans.
788
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,745
I've just been waiting
for the right time,
789
00:34:14,269 --> 00:34:16,749
and that right time is coming
soon to a theater near you.
790
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,011
[ice clinks]Thank you.
791
00:34:18,142 --> 00:34:20,362
And for you, too,
Oscar changes everything.
792
00:34:20,492 --> 00:34:22,015
You're in a different
category now.
793
00:34:22,146 --> 00:34:23,408
This is your moment.
794
00:34:23,539 --> 00:34:26,237
And when they call the
nominations for Best Picture,
795
00:34:26,368 --> 00:34:30,285
it'll be your ugly mug on TV,
not mine, you.
796
00:34:30,415 --> 00:34:31,590
Unless, of course,
I'm sitting next to you,
797
00:34:31,721 --> 00:34:33,897
which, by the way,
I'll be sitting next to you.
798
00:34:34,027 --> 00:34:35,812
[both chuckle]
799
00:34:35,942 --> 00:34:37,683
BOB:
Oh, shit.
800
00:34:37,814 --> 00:34:39,294
People are gonna start
promising you things.
801
00:34:39,424 --> 00:34:41,122
They're gonna wine
and dine you.
802
00:34:41,252 --> 00:34:44,342
But between all the glamour
803
00:34:44,473 --> 00:34:45,996
and all the bullshit,
804
00:34:46,127 --> 00:34:48,346
remember, you hold the keys.
805
00:34:48,477 --> 00:34:50,131
It's what you want
that matters.
806
00:34:50,261 --> 00:34:52,394
Trust your gut.
It's what got you here.
807
00:34:52,524 --> 00:34:55,397
I told you once,
some people have brains,
808
00:34:55,527 --> 00:34:59,009
some people have balls,
but you have both.
809
00:34:59,140 --> 00:35:01,011
Don't forget that.
810
00:35:01,142 --> 00:35:04,145
Salute.Salute.
811
00:35:04,275 --> 00:35:05,711
BETTYE: Stevie Phillips
wants to set up a call
812
00:35:05,842 --> 00:35:08,366
to discuss talent
for "The Godfather II."
813
00:35:08,497 --> 00:35:10,368
Um, Stevie Phillips
is gonna have to wait.
814
00:35:10,499 --> 00:35:12,849
I'm a little slammed today.
815
00:35:12,979 --> 00:35:14,329
You also have a call
set up on Monday
816
00:35:14,459 --> 00:35:15,721
with Francis and Mario.
817
00:35:15,852 --> 00:35:17,854
They want to pitch you
some new ideas.
818
00:35:17,984 --> 00:35:19,290
Burt Reynolds also called.
819
00:35:19,421 --> 00:35:21,074
He wants to know
if you found a writer yet.
820
00:35:21,205 --> 00:35:24,643
He says his window
is closing.
821
00:35:24,774 --> 00:35:26,515
Okay.
822
00:35:26,645 --> 00:35:28,734
We're gonna find
a writer, Al.
823
00:35:28,865 --> 00:35:30,562
It's not that.
824
00:35:30,693 --> 00:35:33,783
I'm just afraid the sequel's
gonna kill my other movie.
825
00:35:33,913 --> 00:35:36,177
I don't understand.
826
00:35:36,307 --> 00:35:38,309
You know how it goes.
827
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,441
If I do "The Godfather,"
828
00:35:40,616 --> 00:35:41,182
it's gonna take up
every aspect of my life.
829
00:35:42,095 --> 00:35:42,922
And then I got to wait, what?
830
00:35:44,576 --> 00:35:46,926
A year, year and a half until
I can get my own movie going.
831
00:35:47,057 --> 00:35:48,580
I'm gonna lose Burt.
832
00:35:48,711 --> 00:35:49,581
You can do both.
833
00:35:49,712 --> 00:35:51,104
Producers do that all the time.
834
00:35:51,235 --> 00:35:53,194
Well, not this one.
835
00:35:53,324 --> 00:35:55,718
I can't do something halfway.
836
00:35:55,848 --> 00:35:58,329
I know.
837
00:35:58,460 --> 00:36:01,506
Oh, hey, before I forget...
838
00:36:03,639 --> 00:36:07,164
Meet me at this address today
in Beverly Hills, 2:00.
839
00:36:07,295 --> 00:36:08,861
You got it.
840
00:36:13,475 --> 00:36:15,955
PERSON:
Al Ruddy?
841
00:36:16,086 --> 00:36:18,306
Yeah.
842
00:36:18,436 --> 00:36:20,308
My name's Eddie Kurland.
843
00:36:20,438 --> 00:36:21,961
I'm sorry to be approaching you
like this.
844
00:36:22,092 --> 00:36:24,312
It was just the only chance
I could get to talk to you.
845
00:36:24,442 --> 00:36:26,139
Your secretary's really tough.
846
00:36:26,270 --> 00:36:28,185
You a caterer?
847
00:36:28,316 --> 00:36:30,143
It's the only way
I could get on the lot.
848
00:36:30,274 --> 00:36:31,232
Okay.
849
00:36:31,362 --> 00:36:34,670
I want to do what you do--
make movies.
850
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,108
Here's some advice, kid.
Do something easier. Trust me.
851
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,328
Yeah, I would if I could.
852
00:36:43,505 --> 00:36:45,376
I've seen "The Godfather"
six times.
853
00:36:45,507 --> 00:36:46,899
It changed my life.
854
00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:48,161
I read about the sequel,
855
00:36:48,292 --> 00:36:49,946
and I want to be a part of it,
any way I can.
856
00:36:50,076 --> 00:36:52,383
You got any experience?
857
00:36:52,514 --> 00:36:54,516
I've seen a lot of movies.
858
00:36:55,734 --> 00:36:56,561
Not the same.
859
00:36:57,606 --> 00:36:58,650
You didn't have
any experience.
860
00:36:58,781 --> 00:37:01,174
You were a programmer
at Rand Corporation
861
00:37:01,305 --> 00:37:03,264
when you sold
"Hogan's Heroes," right?
862
00:37:06,223 --> 00:37:08,094
Tell you what...
863
00:37:08,225 --> 00:37:09,748
leave your name and number
at the desk.
864
00:37:09,879 --> 00:37:12,360
If anything comes up,
we'll call you.
865
00:37:12,490 --> 00:37:14,275
Thank you, Mr. Ruddy.
866
00:37:14,405 --> 00:37:16,407
You won't regret this.
867
00:37:16,538 --> 00:37:19,149
Regret what?
I haven't done anything yet.
868
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,846
You will.
869
00:37:20,977 --> 00:37:23,196
[engine turning over]
870
00:37:23,327 --> 00:37:25,547
Eddie, this is where
you get out of here.
871
00:37:30,378 --> 00:37:31,901
CHARLIE:
So what does this mean?
872
00:37:32,031 --> 00:37:34,033
You--you're quitting?
873
00:37:34,164 --> 00:37:36,166
No.
874
00:37:36,297 --> 00:37:39,125
Well, what does he mean?
I don't understand.
875
00:37:39,256 --> 00:37:41,519
I think what Bob is pitching
876
00:37:41,650 --> 00:37:43,652
is he remain
the head of Paramount
877
00:37:43,782 --> 00:37:47,308
while also enjoying
a five-picture deal
878
00:37:47,438 --> 00:37:48,787
as a producer.
879
00:37:48,918 --> 00:37:49,788
Did I get that right?
880
00:37:49,919 --> 00:37:52,313
Nail on the head, Barry.What?
881
00:37:52,443 --> 00:37:54,489
That's--that's--
882
00:37:54,619 --> 00:37:56,186
You did it, Bob.
Charlie's speechless.
883
00:37:56,317 --> 00:37:57,361
[chuckles]
884
00:37:57,492 --> 00:37:58,884
CHARLIE:
That's two jobs.
885
00:37:59,015 --> 00:38:02,497
How are you gonna do two jobs?
That's unheard of.
886
00:38:02,627 --> 00:38:03,933
No.
887
00:38:04,063 --> 00:38:05,500
No?
What do you mean no?
888
00:38:05,630 --> 00:38:06,718
I can't get him to shut up.

00:56:05,753 --> 00:56:08,408
How do you recreate the Oscars?
1242
00:56:08,538 --> 00:56:11,367
Eleven fucking nominations.
1243
00:56:11,672 --> 00:56:13,500
ADAM:
We were not gonna be filling up
1244
00:56:13,630 --> 00:56:17,547
the Dorothy Chandler
Pavilion with 1,500 extras
1245
00:56:17,678 --> 00:56:19,549
and yet, the Oscars had to be
1246
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,465
a very important
chapter in that story.
1247
00:56:22,596 --> 00:56:23,597
Oscar changes everything.
1248
00:56:23,727 --> 00:56:24,859
This is your moment.
1249
00:56:24,989 --> 00:56:27,165
ADAM: Finding, you know,
cinematic ways
1250
00:56:27,514 --> 00:56:28,993
of honoring
the importance of that
1251
00:56:29,124 --> 00:56:31,735
and what that represented
to all of the characters
1252
00:56:32,170 --> 00:56:33,258
felt very important.
1253
00:56:33,650 --> 00:56:35,696
There was some
really interesting
1254
00:56:35,826 --> 00:56:37,785
and sort of abstract
film choices
1255
00:56:37,915 --> 00:56:40,309
made to do that,
that I think the audience
1256
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:41,615
will have fun with.
1257
00:56:42,093 --> 00:56:43,094
I told you once,
1258
00:56:43,660 --> 00:56:45,096
some people have brains,
1259
00:56:45,227 --> 00:56:46,837
some people have balls.
1260
00:56:46,968 --> 00:56:47,969
But you have both.
1261
00:56:48,535 --> 00:56:52,495
I think Al remains
true to himself
1262
00:56:52,626 --> 00:56:57,326
and it never was about
chasing any sort of accolade.
1263
00:56:57,457 --> 00:56:58,458
It's our movie, Bob.
1264
00:56:58,806 --> 00:57:00,329
It's your name on
the poster, pal.
1265
00:57:00,460 --> 00:57:03,811
MILES: You know, he had put
so much into The Godfather
1266
00:57:04,246 --> 00:57:06,770
and that went beyond his,
I think, wildest dreams
1267
00:57:06,901 --> 00:57:08,816
of how well it all turned out.
1268
00:57:08,946 --> 00:57:10,600
But he was also a writer.
1269
00:57:10,731 --> 00:57:11,775
BETTYE: A treatment?
1270
00:57:11,906 --> 00:57:13,473
MILES: You know,
with The Longest Yard.
1271
00:57:13,603 --> 00:57:15,083
By Albert S. Ruddy?
1272
00:57:15,213 --> 00:57:16,650
ADAM: It was important to me
1273
00:57:16,780 --> 00:57:18,652
that we leave feeling that Al
1274
00:57:18,782 --> 00:57:21,263
was making the right choice
for him.
1275
00:57:21,393 --> 00:57:22,569
AL: It was a hard choice to make
1276
00:57:22,699 --> 00:57:25,006
but it's the only one
I could live with.
1277
00:57:25,397 --> 00:57:27,051
ADAM: It was challenging in that
1278
00:57:27,182 --> 00:57:30,838
you have this kind of
celebratory final destination
1279
00:57:30,968 --> 00:57:33,362
for the company
and it becomes clear
1280
00:57:33,493 --> 00:57:35,799
that for whatever
his personal reasons,
1281
00:57:35,930 --> 00:57:38,628
that Al feels that his destiny
is somewhere else.
1282
00:57:39,063 --> 00:57:40,804
AL: You took a chance on
me when no one else would
1283
00:57:40,935 --> 00:57:42,545
and I will never forget that.
1284
00:57:42,676 --> 00:57:44,416
But this is
something I gotta do.
1285
00:57:44,808 --> 00:57:46,506
ANTHONY: Other than
the obvious of, you know,
1286
00:57:46,636 --> 00:57:48,812
being able to see
behind the scenes
and how cool that is.
1287
00:57:48,943 --> 00:57:51,249
I think really what
the story is about largely,
1288
00:57:51,380 --> 00:57:54,601
is a person who was
devoted to telling a story
1289
00:57:54,731 --> 00:57:55,689
that they really cared about
1290
00:57:57,255 --> 00:57:58,779
and the lengths
that they went to,
to make it happen.
1291
00:57:59,083 --> 00:58:00,563
I told you we got it.
1292
00:58:00,694 --> 00:58:01,782
We got it.
1293
00:58:01,912 --> 00:58:04,480
It took so much scrappiness.
1294
00:58:04,611 --> 00:58:07,309
It took so much
dedication, ingenuity,
1295
00:58:07,439 --> 00:58:08,571
to make The Godfather.
1296
00:58:08,702 --> 00:58:10,051
ROBERT: Let's enjoy this moment
1297
00:58:10,704 --> 00:58:11,748
because the world
will never forget it.
1298
00:58:13,445 --> 00:58:14,969
MEREDITH: It's one of
the most pivotal moments
in cinema history.
1299
00:58:15,099 --> 00:58:19,277
And I'm so honored to be a
very small, but passionate part
1300
00:58:19,408 --> 00:58:20,583
of the storytelling.
1301
00:58:21,541 --> 00:58:22,977
ANTHONY:
I think now is such a great time
1302
00:58:23,107 --> 00:58:24,718
to share that kind
of a story of a man
1303
00:58:24,848 --> 00:58:27,285
who was so inspired and
went to such great lengths
1304
00:58:27,416 --> 00:58:30,071
to make something that almost
seemed impossible happen.
1305
00:58:30,201 --> 00:58:32,813
Hopefully that inspires
other people
and other filmmakers
1306
00:58:32,943 --> 00:58:34,205
to do the same type of thing.
1307
00:58:34,336 --> 00:58:35,990
ANNOUNCER: And the winner is...
1308
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,732
Albert S. Ruddy,
The Godfather.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
1310
00:58:40,124 --> 00:58:41,648
MILES: The guy,
he just doesn't stop.
1311
00:58:41,778 --> 00:58:43,563
He's really relentless,
and I think
1312
00:58:43,693 --> 00:58:46,522
the fact that he was
able to walk away
1313
00:58:46,653 --> 00:58:48,916
of the rainbow at the end...
1314
00:58:49,046 --> 00:58:50,308
ROBERT: We did it.AL: I know.
1315
00:58:50,439 --> 00:58:51,745
This is just the start.
1316
00:58:51,875 --> 00:58:54,008
We'll do it all over again
with Godfather Part Two.
1317
00:58:54,138 --> 00:58:56,837
MILES: Just being
comfortable enough
with himself in his career
1318
00:58:56,967 --> 00:58:59,056
to be able to walk
away from what he knew
1319
00:58:59,491 --> 00:59:00,536
would be a huge smash.
1320
00:59:00,841 --> 00:59:02,669
That says a lot about the man.
1321
00:59:05,062 --> 00:59:06,890
ALBERT: I'm really proud
to be in this business.
1322
00:59:07,021 --> 00:59:08,196
I really am.
1323
00:59:08,326 --> 00:59:09,327
It means a lot to me.
1324
00:59:10,590 --> 00:59:11,808
When I got my Academy Award
on The Godfather,
1325
00:59:12,243 --> 00:59:14,376
I said,
"Everyone sitting out there,
1326
00:59:14,942 --> 00:59:17,161
who dreams this kinda
thing can happen,
1327
00:59:17,858 --> 00:59:18,728
it can."
1328
00:59:19,947 --> 00:59:20,991
That's what I said,
'cause I believe it.
1329
00:59:21,775 --> 00:59:23,690
If you care, it can.
