The Godfather Scene 19 Summary

  • In a car back in New York, Michael rides with Kay and his infant son. He explains he has business to go over later in the day, and Kay tells him that Connie wants him to be godfather to her newborn son. Michael says he'll think about it.
  • In a garden, he discusses Barzini with his father. Vito says that Barzini will use a traitor in the family to set up a meeting with him, and then kill him at the meeting.
  • Don Corleone admits that, while he doesn't regret being a gangster, he never wanted this life for Michael. He wanted him to be a governor or a senator or something. Michael says there's still time to get there.
  • We see the Don, later, messing around with Anthony in the garden, showing him how to use a spray gun. He puts a piece of orange in his mouth and inadvertently scares Anthony, before convincing him it's all right. He chases Anthony around the garden… and dies from a heart attack.
