Tony Montana

You can send me here, there, this, that, it don't matter. There's nothing you can do to me that Castro has not already done.

Georges hage is one of us ...don't fuck with him .

[Proposing to Elvira] Okay, here's the story. I come from the gutter. I know that. I got no education... But that's okay. I know the street, and I'm making all the right connections. With the right woman, there's no stopping me. I could go right to the top. Anyway... What I got to tell you is this: I like you. I liked you the first time I laid eyes on you.

I'm Tony Montana, a political prisoner from Cuba, and I want my fuckin' human rights, now. Just like the President Jimmy Carter, says.

Orders? You giving me orders? Amigo, the only thing in this world that gives orders is boss. You got that? [to Frank]

This is paradise, I'm tellin' ya. This town is like a great big pussy just waitin' to get fucked.

Why don't you try sticking your head up your ass and see if it fits.

Chi-Chi, take the yeyo.

Do you know what a "Hassa" is, Frank? It's a pig that don't fly straight. Neither do you, Frank.

No, I won't kill you. Manola... shoot that piece of shit. [About Frank]

[Watching Flamingos on T.V.] Hey Manny, look at the pelican fly. Come on pelican!

In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power, then you get the women.

I never fucked anybody over in my life that didn't have it coming to 'em. You got that? All I have in this world is my balls and my word, and I don't break 'em for no one. You understand? That piece of shit up there, I never liked him, I never trusted him. For all I know he had me set up and had my friend Angel Fernandez killed. But that's history. I'm here, he's not. You wanna go on with me, you say it. You don't, then you make a move.

You know what capitalism is? Gettin' fucked!

That prick... fucking wasp whore.

[arguing with the T.V.] I know that, but you know why, Vic? 'Cause you got your head up your culo (refer to ass in Spanish). That's why. That fuckin' guy. He never tells the truth. That motherfucker.

Who put this thing together? Me, that's who! Who do I trust? Me!

Fuck Gaspar Gomez, and fuck the fuckin' Diaz Brothers! Fuck 'em all! I bury those cockroaches!

[To Elvira:] How would you know? Bubble head..!

You think I kill two kids and a woman? Fuck that! I don't need that shit in my life! [sees that Alberto is about to detonate the car bomb] You die, motherfucker! [shoots Alberto in the face, killing him] What you think I am? What you think, I'm a fuckin' worm, like you? I told you, man! I told you, don't fuck with me! I told you, no fuckin' kids! No, but you wouldn't listen! Well, you stupid fuck! Look at you now!

Is this it? Is this what it's all about, Manny? Eating, drinking, fucking, sucking, snorting? Then what? Tell me, then what? You're fifty. You got a bag for a belly. You got tits, you need a bra; they got hair on 'em. You got a liver, it's got spots on it, and you're eatin' this fucking shit; and looking like these rich fucking mummies in here. Is this what it's all about? Is this what I work for? Look at that, a junkie. I got a fucking junkie for a wife. Don't eat nothin', sleeps all day wit them black shades on. Wakes up with a quaalude. And who won't fuck me, cause she's in a coma. I can't even have a kid wit'er, Manny. Her womb is so polluted, I can't even have a fucking little baby wit'er!

Let her go. Another quaalude, she's gonna love me again.

[to the guests at the restaurant] What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be. You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

I'm Tony Montana! You fuck with me, you fuckin' with the best!

You wanna go to war?! We'll take you to war, okay?!

You wanna play games? Okay, I'll play with you. You wanna play rough? Okay! Say hello to my little friend!

Hey, how'd you like that? Huh? You fuckin' maricón! Hey!

Somebody fucked up.

You have a look in your eye like you haven't been fucked in a year.

Rebenga! [stabs Rebenga] From a friend you fucked!

You think you can take me! You're gonna need a fucking army to take me, you hear!

[shouting defiantly after being shot several times] Hey, how'd you like dat? Huh? You fuckin' maricòn! Hey! You think you can take me? You need a fuckin' army, you gonna take me! Y'hear? C'mon! I'll take you all to fuckin' Hell! Come on! Come on! Come to me! Okay! Who you think you fuckin' with? I Tony Montana! You fuck with me, you fuckin' with the best!

Dialogue

Immigration Officer #1: O.K., so what do you call yourself? ¿Como se llama?

Tony Montana: Antonio Montana. And you, what you call yourself?

Immigration Officer #1: Where'd you learn to speak the English, Tony?

Tony Montana: Uh, in a school. And my father, he was, uh, from the United States. Just like you, ya know? He was a Yankee. Uh, he used to take me a lot to the movies. I learn. I watch the guys like Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney. They, they teach me to talk. I like those guys. I always know one day I'm comin' here, United States.

Immigration Officer#1: Where'd you get the beauty scar, tough guy, eatin' pussy?

Tony Montana: How am I gonna get a scar like that eatin' pussy?

Immigration Officer #1: What about homosexuality, Tony? You like men, huh? You like to dress up like a woman?

Tony Montana: This guy kiddin', or what?

Immigration Officer #2: Just answer the questions, Tony!

Tony Montana: Okay, no. Fuck no!

Manny Ribera: Are you ready for some good news, or are you ready for some good news?

Tony Montana: Sure, what you got, man?

Manny Ribera; We can be outta this place in thirty days. Not only that, but we got a Green Card and a job in Miami, man. Now, are we made or are we made, man?

Tony Montana: What do we gotta do? Go to Cuba and hit the beard or what?

Manny Ribera: No, man. Somebody else.

Tony Montana: You're kidding?

Manny Ribera: No.

Tony Montana: [after a pause] You're not kidding.

Manny Ribera: Guy named Rebenga, man. Emlio Rebenga.

Tony Montana: Rebenga? Coño, man, I know that name.

Manny Ribera: Yeah?

Tony Montana: He's political.

Manny Ribera: Yeah! Well, he's coming in here today, man.

[Manny and Tony watch Rebenga walk into the camp, cautiously looking around him]

Manny Ribera: Castro just sprung him. This guy, man, he was one of the top dogs for Fidel in the early days. But Castro felt he couldn't trust him anymore, y'know, and threw him in jail. But while he was on top, he tortured a few guys to death. and one of the guy's brother is a rich guy in Miami now, and he wants the favor repaid. That's where we come in.

Tony Montana: He's ugly, man.

Manny Ribera: [laughs] Yeah.

[The two watch Rebenga nervously puff on a cigarette as he walks by]

Tony Montana: You tell your guys in Miami... your friend... it'd be a pleasure. I kill a Communist for fun, but for a Green Card, I gonna carve him up real nice.

Frank Lopez: You know what a chazzer is?

Tony Montana: No, Frank, you tell me. What is a chazzer?

Frank Lopez: It's a Yiddish word for "pig." See, the guy, he wants more than what he needs. He don't fly straight no more.

Tony Montana: Me, I want what's coming to me.

Manny: Oh, well what's coming to you Tony?

Tony Montana: The world chico...and everything in it!

Tony Montana: Mama.

Mama Montana: Antonio.

Tony Montana: Long time.

Mama Montana: No postcards from jail?

Tony Montana: Your son made it, Mama. He's a success. That's why I didn't come around before. I want you to see what a good boy I've been. Here's $1000. For you, Mama.

Mama Montana: Who did you kill for this, Antonio?

Tony Montana: I didn't kill nobody, Mama.

Mama Montana: No?

Tony Montana: No.

Mama Montana: What are you doing now? Banks, or is it still bodegas, you and the others?

Tony Montana: No! Things are different now. I'm working with an anti-Castro group. I'm an organizer now, and I get a lot of political contributions.

Mama Montana: Sure you do. A gun sticking in somebody's face is how. You know, all we hear about in the papers is animals like you and the killings. It's Cubans like you who are giving a bad name to our people. People who come here, work hard and make a good name for themselves. People who send their children to school.

Gina Montana: What are you saying? That's your son!

Mama Montana: Son?! I wish I had one. He's a bum. He was a bum then and he's a bum now. Who do you think you are? We haven't heard a word from you in five years. You suddenly show up here, throw some money around and think you can get my respect. You think you can buy me with jewelry?

Tony Montana: Come on.

Mama Montana: You think you can come into my house with your hotshot clothes and your jail manners and make fun of us?

Tony Montana: You don't know what you're saying.

Mama Montana: That's not the way I am! That is not the way I raised Gina to be! You are not going to destroy her. I don't need your money. I work for my living. I don't want you in this house anymore! I don't want you around Gina. So, come on. Get out! And take this lousy money with you. It stinks.

Gina Montana: Why do you have to spoil it for everybody? I'm sorry, Tony.

Tony Montana: Okay, Mama.

[Outside after the fight]

Gina Montana: I'm sorry. I don't know. Mama, ever since Papa left she's...

Tony Montana: Forget Papa. We never had one.

Gina Montana: I know you did some bad things back then. In the Army, I know you got into some trouble.

Tony Montana: The Communists, they're always trying to tell you what to do.

Gina Montana: Mama doesn't understand that.

Tony Montana: I know.

Gina Montana: I just, I don't know. I just want you to know that I don't care. It doesn't matter to me how long you've been away, five or ten years. You're my blood, always.

Tony Montana: I know.

Gina Montana: Come on. I want you to take this.

Gina Montana: No, Tony. Please.

Tony Montana: You need this.

Gina Montana: What will I tell her?

Tony Montana: Take that. You don't tell her anything. Don't tell her I gave it to you, but give her some from time to time. And listen, you go out yourself. Go ahead, go out, do some things. Have some fun. You gotta get some fun out of life. You gonna beat yourself to death at ? Pussycat like you? Come here. I'll talk to you again.

Gina Montana: Okay.

Tony Montana: Put the money away so she won't see it.

Gina Montana: I'll talk to her.

Manny: [about Gina] She's beautiful. How come you...

Tony Montana: Hey! Stay away from her, man. You hear? She not for you.

Manny: Okay.

Omar: Fuck you!

Tony Montana: Fuck you!

Tony Montana: Hey, Frank, you're a piece of shit.

Frank Lopez: What are you talking about?

Tony Montana: You know what I'm taking about about, you fucking cockroach.

Frank Lopez: Tony, don't kill me, please!

Tony Montana:I won't kill you.

Frank Lopez: Oh Christ, thank you! Thank you! [Tony looks at Manny]

Tony Montana: Manolo, shoot that piece of shit! [Manny shoots Frank]

Bernstein: He fucked up.

Tony Montana: You too Mel. You fucked up.

Bernstein: Don't go too far, Tony.

Tony Montana: I'm not, Mel. You are.

Bernstein: [after being shot in the gut] You can't shoot a cop!

Tony Montana: Whoever said you was one?

Bernstein: Wait a minute! If you let me go, I'll fix this up.

Tony Montana: Sure, Mel. Maybe you can handle yourself one of them first class tickets to the resurrection.

Bernstein: Fucking punk. Son of a bitch!

Tony Montana: So long Mel. Have a good trip.

Bernstein: Fuck you! [Tony shoots him in the chest.]
