[throws wine in Tony's face]

Elvira Hancock: How dare you talk to me like that? What makes you so much better than me? What do you do? Kill people? Deal your drugs? Real contribution to human history, Tony! What makes you think you can be a father? You don't even know how to be a good husband!

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, hm? We haven't heard a word from you in five years. Cinco anos. You suddenly show up here and you throw money at us? You think you can *buy* me with your money?

Tony Montana: Come on, mama.

Mama Montana: You think you can come in here with your hot-shot clothes and make fun of us?

Tony Montana: Mama, you don't know what you're talking about.

Mama Montana: No that is NOT the way I am, Antonio! That is *not* the way I raised Gina to be. You are not going to destroy her. I don't need your money. Gracias! 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!

Tony Montana: [to Manny] You should have kept your mouth shut, they'd have thought you was a horse and let you out.

Immigration Officer #3: Where'd you get the beauty scar, tough guy? Eatin' pussy?

Tony Montana: Oh, that's nothing, man. That's for my sweetheart.

Immigration Officer #3: Sweetheart, my ass! We've been seein' more and more of these. Some kind of code these guys used in the can. Pitchfork means an assassin or somethin'. You wanna tell us about it, Montana, or do you wanna take a little trip to the detention center?

Tony Montana: [pause] Okay, you got me. I was in the can one time. For buying dollars. Big, big deal.

Frank Lopez: You know what a chazzer is?

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

Manny: Yeah?

Tony Montana: He's political.

Manny: Yeah. Well, he's coming in here today, man. Castro just sprung him. This guy, man, was one of the top dogs for Fidel in the early days. But Castro felt like he couldn't trust him anymore 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: You wanna waste my time, OK? You wanna play rough?

Tony Montana: I didn't come to the United States to break my fucking back.

Tony Montana: Now you're talking to me baby! That I like! Keep it coming!

Tony Montana: What about that job we did for you in Freedom Town? The Rebenga hit... What was that? A game of dominoes, mang?

Tony Montana: [Referring to a news program on legalizing cocaine to control organized crime] Somebody oughta do something about those... those whores.

[Tony is on a payphone describing the botched drug deal involving Hector the Toad]

Tony Montana: [into the phone] Yeah, it was a setup. Bunch of cowboys. Somebody fucked up somewhere. Fuckin' Columbians. They never wanted to make the sale. They only wanted to steal the money.
