Vito meets with Don Fanucci in a dark restaurant, and offers him $100. At first, Fanucci seems offended, but after Vito offers a half-hearted explanation for coming up short, Fanucci shows his impressed. He says Vito has a lot of balls, and ends up praising him, telling Vito that if he ever needs anything to come see him. On his way out, he says Vito's done well. Vito doesn't seem to take much pleasure from this. Soon, we are in the middle of the San Rocco festa in the streets of Little Italy. As priests wade through the crowd and an effigy of the saint with dollars bills taped to it is carried through the street, Don Fanucci makes his rounds, greeting the people he so regularly extorts. Vito walks along the rooftops, stalking Don Fanucci from above. Don Fanucci watches a puppet show with knights battling and, ironically, says it's too violent for him and walks away. Vito, on the rooftops, grabs a gun hidden behind a chimney. From the roof, he enters a building-the same building that we see Don Fanucci walk into. Vito unscrews a lightbulb in the stairwell, and after Don Fanucci fiddles with it to make it works, he turns to see Vito clutching something wrapped in towels. It's a gun, and Vito shoots him three times as fireworks go off at the festa. The towel catches fire and Vito snuffs it out.īack on the rooftops, Vito quickly moves to dispose of the gun. He splits it into many pieces and drops those pieces down the chimneys of several different apartments. He walks down to the street, fireworks going off in every direction, showing him in light for the first time in this entire sequence. Vito joins his wife and small children on the stoop of their brownstone to enjoy the festa happenings. The young Fredo and Connie play with American flags while Vito tells the infant Michael that he loves him very much. We flash forward to Michael returning to the Nevada compound in the heart of winter. It's quiet and dark, and from the dirty dishes on the table it has the air of having been suddenly abandoned. Michael finds Kay sitting at a sewing machine, but they don't even acknowledge each other.
