What's really going on
The real subject is not how long he has been back or how sick his father is. She holds him to an old promise: he said he would not become like his father. His reply never denies the killing. "My father is no different than any other powerful man" pulls a senator and a president into the same line. When the reply comes, "They don't have men killed," he does not argue the fact. He asks, "Who's being naive, Kay?" and offers a timetable: the old way is over, and in five years the Corleone family will be completely legitimate. "Trust me. That's all I can tell you about my business" shuts the door on detail. The proposal comes after that. "I came because I need you" and "I want you to marry me" sit on top of the silence. He will make up for what happened, share a life, and have children, but the business stays where he left it.

このシーンについての質問
Why does he compare his father to a senator or a president?
She has just told him he is not like his father, and that he once said he would not become like him. His answer is "My father is no different than any other powerful man," followed by "Like a senator or president." He is claiming that power works the same way for anyone responsible for other people.
Why does he ask who is being naive?
The line "How naive you sound" answers his senator comparison. The reason given next is "They don't have men killed." He does not contest that. He answers "Who's being naive, Kay?" and hands the word back.
What does he refuse to explain about his business?
He states "In five years the Corleone family is going to be completely legitimate," then immediately says "Trust me. That's all I can tell you about my business." The deadline is the whole explanation he will give.
Why is marrying him "too late"?
She asks "Michael, why did you come here?" and "What do you want with me after all this time? I've been calling and writing." He says he needs her and wants her to marry him. The next reply is "It's too late." The delay she names is the long stretch of calls and letters, not something new he does in the room.
