Favorite Scarface Quotes...

It’s beena long time since I’ve seen the movie…I wasn’t one to have as many posters of scarface on my walls when I was a teenager…in the 80’s, but my brother is a huge fan and his 36 b-day is coming up and I bought him the digitally remastered DVD of scarface and I want to remember some quotes…so who knows some really notable quotes?

“Say hello to my little fren…”

“chi chi…get the yeyo…”

" sanaterium…no manny I said sanatation…"

Just watched the DVD last weekend, and ever since, “Look at dem pelicangs fly!” has been echoing in my brain. That and, of course, “Manolo! ‘Choot that piece o’ chit!”

I just watched this again the other night. I laughed out loud at this part:

Tony and his wife just got in a huge yelling fight at a nice restaurant. She walks out and he is left sitting there alone. All the other restaurant patrons are quiet and staring at him. Tony, still sitting at the table, looks around and says,

“You’re all a bunch of fucking assholes.”

I wish I new this verbatim, but I just love the line where Tony is berating Michelle Pfeiffer (I bet that’s not spelled correctly)

–> You know how she starts her day? With a Quaalude.

It just sums up their relationship, and the movie too.

“The World is Yours.” It’s not a quote. It’s on the globe when he dies and falls into the fountain. Whenever I come across an over-reacher character, I always repeat that line.

You have seen the good version, from 1932, yes?

Not that this has anything to do with the Pacino movie, but L’HAINE (THE HATE) my Kassovitz has a play on “The World Is Yours.” Well, a pastiche, but you should see the movie all the same.

My favorite Scarface quotes:

I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.

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

Immigration Guy: Where’d you get the beauty scar, tough guy, eatin’ pussy?
Tony Montana: How’m I gonna get a scar like that eating pussy?

Choo wanna stick your fingers in a dike??

Shouted at the dead would-be child killer:
“Loo’ a jou now! See wha’ happengs when jou don’ lissen?”

I’m with you on that one, Eve. How about: "You don’t treat her like your sister. You treat her like . . . " (or words to that effect)

“I ran out of bullets, like an asshole.”
“$500 a bottle, for a bunch of fu¢kin’ grapes!”
“I told him he was fu¢kin’ up.” “No, Mel, YOU fu¢ked up!”
“Hey, Ernie, you got a job!”
“Is this what life is all about? Eating. . . drinking. . . fahhhhhhhking?”

And to flesh out one that’s already been mentioned, Scarface to the bomber, played by busy bit character actor Mark Margolis, after he’s splattered the bomber’s brains all over the inside of the car:

“You stoooopid fu¢k! Loo’ a jou now! See wha’ happengs when jou don’ lissen?”

Oops, forgot this one:

“I kill Communists for free. For a green card? I cut him up reeeeal nice.”

(And hey, no need to turn this into a “the-original-was-better” bash-fest; I enjoyed both versions very much. Both are very much of their time, in the best sense of the term.)

When I see my Minneapolis skyline I sometimes think,
“This town is a giant pussy, waiting to be fucked.”

Muhaha

“Never fuck me, Tony. Never try to fuck me.”

“First you get the money, then you get the power. When you got the power, then you get the pussy.”

[Norma Desmond] “Cursing, cursing cursing . . . We didn’t need cursing, we had good dialogue! Those imbeciles—have they forgotten what a good gangster movie is like? I’ll show them—I’ll be up there again!” [/Norma Desmond]

But it’s cursing with a ridiculous Spanish accent! One of the seven best type of cursing there is.

Damn right, Big Girl. I’d like to hear Paul Muni say “Hey, FOCK YOU, mang!”

Don’t ignore Tony’s later observation: “You know what capitalism is?..Gettin’ f*cked!”

The film’s sub-text of one man’s struggle with his political identity is often overlooked.

:wink:
