In this regular feature series on some of the most talked-about films, we examine the legacy of classics, re-evaluate modern blockbusters, and revisit some of the most memorable lines in film. We continue this week with the best quotes from 1983’s Scarface .
1. Tony Montana (Al Pacino): “What you lookin’ at? You all a bunch of f**kin’ a**holes. 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 f**kin’ fingers and say, ‘That’s the bad guy’.”
2. Tony Montana: “I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.”
3. Tony Montana: “All I have in this world is my balls and my word, and I don’t break them for no one. Do you understand?”

4. Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia): “Lesson number one: don’t underestimate the other guy’s greed!”
Elvira Hancock (Michelle Pfeiffer): “Lesson number two: don’t get high on your own supply.”

5. Tony Montana: “You know what capitalism is? Getting f**ked!”
6. Tony Montana: “This is paradise, I’m tellin’ ya. This town is like a great big p***y just waiting to get f**ked.”
7. Tony Montana: “Me, I want what’s coming to me.”
Manny Ribera (Steven Bauer): “Oh, well what’s coming to you?”
Tony Montana: “The world, Chico, and everything in it.”

8. Tony Montana: “In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.”
9. Alejandro Sosa (Paul Shenar): “I only tell you once. Don’t f**k me, Tony. Don’t you ever try to f**k me.”
10. Tony Montana: “Say hello to my little friend!”
