The Godfather Part III1990

Cardinal Lamberto:
Would you like to make your confession?

Michael Corleone:
[flustered] Your eminence, I... it's been so long... I wouldn't know where to... It's been 30 years. I'd use up too much of your time.

Cardinal Lamberto:
I always have time to save souls.

Michael Corleone:
Well... I am beyond redemption.

Cardinal Lamberto:
I hear my own priests' confessions here. The urge to confess can be overwhelming.

Michael Corleone:
What is the point of confessing if I do not repent?

Cardinal Lamberto:
I hear you are a practical man. What have you got to lose, eh? Go on.

Michael Corleone:
[hesitantly] I... I betrayed my wife.

Cardinal Lamberto:
Go on, my son.

Michael Corleone:
I betrayed myself. I killed men, and I ordered men to be killed.

Cardinal Lamberto:
Go on, my son, go on.

Michael Corleone:
I... ah, it's useless.

Cardinal Lamberto:
Go on, my son.

Michael Corleone:
[choking up] I killed... I ordered the death of my brother. He injured me. [sobbing] I killed my father's son. I killed my father's son!

Cardinal Lamberto:
Your sins are terrible, and it is just that you suffer. Your life could be redeemed, but I know you do not believe that. You will not change.
