The purpose of this meeting
is to ratify...
:50:36
the motion passed by our
shareholders in New York.

Please...
:50:44
Our group represents a consortium

:50:49
against the Corleone control.

Group already controls the Board.

the Vatican vote must be ratified here.

Here in Rome, by the Pope.
:51:09
The Pope is gravely ill.
:51:14
Until he recovers, I am powerless.
:51:19
- What if he dies?
- Then...
:51:23
...as you Americans say,
all bets are off.
:51:26
Gentlemen, please.
:51:29
This is a brief delay. Nothing more.
:51:38
Your Excellency, gentlemen...
:51:41
I advise you to join us in our prayers
for the Holy Father's recovery.
:51:48
We had an agreement!
:51:51
This meeting was to be
merely a formality.
:51:55
- Please sit down.
- I'd rather stand. Give me an answer.
