Scarface

MAN (IN ITALIAN ACCENT): That's the most I got is 3,000 bottle of créme de menthe.

You got things pretty much your own way now, haven't you, Louis?

Sure. Everything is just fine.

That's good. But Pete was saying just tonight...

He say that the South Side, she's get out of line.

I say, what are we gonna do with the South Side?

Let some of the other boys get theirs, too. I got all I wanted.

Johnny Lovo, he's talking about starting something.

Yeah? He's looking for trouble, eh?

Johnny's very foolish! Look at me.

A man always got to know whether he's got it or not. I got plenty.

I got house. I got automobile. I got nice girl.

I got stomach trouble, too.

Better get some sleep.

All right.

Well, she was a pretty good party, eh?

Next week, I'm going to give the party

which the boys ain't never seen nothing like it before.

We'll have much more music, much more girls, much more everything.

Everybody, should say, "Big Louis, he sit on top of the world!" Eh?

- Goodbye, Louis. - Goodbye, boys.

Take good careful of yourselves, eh?

- Bye - I see you some more.

Hello. I want Lakeside 417, please.

Yeah, 417 Lakeside. Sure.

That's the wrong... No, I want Lakeside 417.

Hello, Louis.

Hello.

How many of them?

All right.

Hello.

Copyboy here.

Copybov!

That's rotten!

"Costillo slaying starts gang war!" That's what I want.

I'm working on that angle now.

- I've got four men on it. - Four?

You'll need 40 men on this story for the next five years.

You know what's happening?

This town is up for the grabs. Get me?

You know, Costillo was the last of the old-fashioned gang leaders.

There's a new crew coming out.

And every guy that's got money enough to buy a gun

is going to try to step into his place. You see?

They'll be shooting each other like rabbits for the control of the booze business!

You get it? It'll be just like war!

That's it, "war." You put that in the lead.

"War. Gang war."

Here come the coppers!

Hello, Rinaldo.

You coming along?

Where's Camonte?

- Hello, Guarino. - Come on.

What's your hurry? I'm getting a massage, too.

We'll finish that at headquarters.

Put your coat on.

I got lots of time.

Who wants to see me?

The Chief.

That kidney foot?

Never mind the jokes. Come on.

Hey, how's it look in the back?

Very good.

Come on, you rat!

Come on.

"Tony Camonte, aliases Cabrone, Joe Black.

"Assault, carrying brass knuckles and sap, DW, disturbing peace.

"Street robbery on three counts, loft burglary, violation Volstead Act.

"Indicted for murder of Buck Kempner.

"Member, Five Point's Gang, came from New York, 1920.

"At present, bodyguard and strong-arm for Louis C0stillo."

Bodyguard for Costillo, eh?

Pretty smart boy.

I suppose you didn't kill Louis Costillo?

Who, me?

That's very funny. Big Louis and me, we're like this.

Can I slap it out of him, Chief?

I'll let you have him in a little while, Ben.

This fellow got ideas I don't like.

Costillo hired you for a bodyguard. Where were you at the shooting?

I was having my beauty sleep.

Where?

In a lady's house.

You want her name? Phone number?

She's very nice.

We'll go into your alibis later.

You've been hanging around Johnny Lovo, haven't you?

Lovo split with Big Louis.

What were you doing at Lovo's house last week?

Now listen, Tony, I'm gonna give you a chance.

You play ball with me and I'll play ball with you.

Last night, you met Johnny in Spinelli's Barber Shop.

What did he give you money for?

Now listen, you. What kind of mug you think I am?

I don't know nothing, I don't see nothing and I don't hear nothing.

And when I do, I don't tell a cop. You understand?

All right, Guarino, you can have him.

Thanks.

Come on, Tony. We'll take a look at the goldfish.

Here's Epstein.

Hi, boys. Hello, Chief.

All right, let's have it.

Writ of habeas corpus for the release of Tony Camonte and Guino Rinaldo.

- Who gave it to you? - Flemming.

All right, gentlemen, see you later.

- Hey, I don't go with this guy? - No.

Listen to me.

You've come into this town and you think you're headed somewhere, don't you?

You think you're gonna get there with a gun, but you're not! Get me?

You know why?

Because you got $1,000 bills pasted right across your eyes.

And someday you're gonna stumble and fall down in the gutter,

right where the horses have been standing, right where you belong.

You got me all figured out, huh?

I've spent my life mixing with your breed and I don't like it. Get me?

You can hide behind a lot of red tape, crooked lawyers,

some politicians with the "gimmes", writs of habeas corpus,

witnesses that don't remember overnight,

but we'll get through to you just like we got all the rest!

Oh, maybe me, I'm different.

No, you're not!

Take your gun away and get you in a tough spot and you'll squeal,

like all the other rats.

You're gonna get me, huh?

In your particular case, I'd give up a month's pay for the job.

Are you gonna see Lovo?

Yeah, right away.

Tell him to stay undercover. I'll come up tomorrow.

Hey, what's this writ you got me out on?

Habeas corpus. Deliver the body.

Can't hold you without booking you no matter what they think you've done.

That's a fine idea. Hey, you tell Flemming I want lots of them.

- Hi, Boss. Come in, Tony. - Glad to see you.

Hey, that's pretty hot.

Silk. Expensive, huh?

I see that Epstein got to you in time.

Yeah. Nice little fellow.

He give them a writ of hocus pocus.

- Sit down. - Thanks.

He said you stay here till the heat's off. He said...

Hey. That's pretty hot.

That's Poppy.

Hey, Poppy. Meet Tony Camonte.

Hi.

Mmm-hmm.

How are the coppers taking it?

Oh, I didn't pay much attention.

What about the newspapers?

Yeah, I bring them along.

The News has got the best story.

Pictures of you and one of me, too.

Where did they run it, in the razor ads?

Huh? Oh, that?

That's an old business. You'll get used to that.

I got it in the war.

War with a blond in a Brooklyn speakeasy.

Some kidder, huh?

It takes a long time with the pinchers, eh?

You've got an office for this sort of thing, Johnny. Why don't you use it?

There you are, Tony. That's a bonus.

Hey, that's a nice feel.

That was a fine job, Tony. Remember, that's only chicken feed.

You've stepped into big company.

You stick to me and do what I say,

play square and you'll be walking around with lace pants and a gold hat.

- You know what I mean? - Sure, I know.

Now, listen, I'm gonna out you in on a percentage.

Give you a raise, double.

The South Side is rolling in jack. All we gotta do is step in and take it.

Yeah, and have some fun with O'Hara, too, huh?

Who? Now wait a minute. O'Hara's too big a guy to buck now.

There's lots of jack on the North Side.

Now, listen, you. You let me think up the ideas.

I'll take care of that big hop in my own way when the time comes.

I say we stay out of the North Side.

I say we leave O'Hara alone and what I say goes!

Don't ever forget that.

- You're the boss. - That's better.

From now on, next to me, the boys take orders from you.

Yeah, me and you, eh? That's fine talk, Boss.

Here. Have a cigar.

There'll be plenty of work for everybody. Costillo slowed down too much.

Yeah, and now he come to a dead stop.

Here, you better smoke one of mine.

That's pretty nice. Expensive, huh?

I don't like cigar smoke in my room. Do you mind?

Listen, I'm gonna hold off that meeting with the boys a couple of days.

After Big Louis' funeral, it's better. You know what I mean?

Oh, yeah. Sure, sure. It don't look so good.

And I want you to send some flowers.

A cross of white carnations from me, see?

Yeah, and I send lots of purple, a bunch.

Big Louis he always liked purple.

Why don't you go and do it now?

You better make that meeting Monday.

Tell all the guys that want to run beer on the South Side to be there.

Tell them I'm gonna make a speech. You know what I mean?

Mmm-hmm.

Well, goodbye, Poppy. See you again.

She don't like anybody but me.
