The Best Tony Montana Quotes From Scarface

WARNING: This article lists several Tony Montana quotes from Scarface that contain foul language. If you are easily offended by profanity, then please read this article instead .

Keep reading to discover some of the best Scarface quotes from Al Pacino’s character Tony Montana, and you’ll quickly realize why this film is considered such a classic.

• “The only thing in this world that really gives orders is balls.” – Tony Montana

This Scarface quote really shows how the world has changed since it was released in 1983. Especially when you consider how much the feminist movement has shaped modern society. And yet this movie is all about male testosterone as well as the intoxicating power of money and violence.

Why Don’t You Get A Job Pussycat

This exchange takes place when Tony sees that his wife is bored, unhappy, and just becoming a junkie.

• Tony Montana: You know what your problem is, pussycat?
• Elvira Hancock: What is my problem, Tony?
• Tony Montana: You got nothing to do with your life, man. Why don’t you get a job? Do something, be a nurse. Work with blind kids, lepers, that kind of thing. Anything beats you waiting around all day, waiting for me to fuck you, I’ll tell you that.
• Elvira Hancock: Don’t toot your horn, honey, you’re not that good.

• “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.” – Tony Montana

This quote reveals a lot about the driving motivation behind the character of Tony Montana. Why did he do the things he did? Why was he willing to go to extremes to get the things he wanted? Because he figured out the way the world works and aligned his personal priorities accordingly.

• “This is paradise, I’m tellin’ ya. This town is like a great big pussy just waiting to get f**ked.” – Tony Montana

Everybody’s dead.

• Immigration Officer #2: So where’s your old man now?
• Tony Montana: He dead. He die. Sometime. Somewhere.
• Immigration Officer #2: Mother?
• Tony Montana: She dead too.
• Immigration Officer #1: What kind of work you do in Cuba, Tony?
• Tony Montana: Ah, you know, things. I was, uh – This, that. Construction business. I work a lot with my hands. I was in the army.
• Immigration Officer #1: Any family in the States, Tony? Any cousins, brother-in-law, anybody?
• Tony Montana: Nobody. Everybody’s dead.
• Immigration Officer #1: You ever been to jail, Tony?
• Tony Montana: Me? Jail? No way. No.
• Immigration Officer #1: Been in a mental hospital?
• Tony Montana: Oh, yeah. On the boat coming over.
• “I work hard for this. I want you to know that.” – Tony Montana

I didn’t come to the United States to break my ________ back.

• “I didn’t come to the United States to break my f*ck*ng back.” – Tony Montana
• “You should have kept your mouth shut, they’d have thought you was  a horse  and let you out.” – Tony Montana

• “You wanna waste my time? Okay. I call my lawyer. He’s the best lawyer in Miami. He’s such a good lawyer, that by tomorrow morning, you gonna be working in Alaska. So dress warm.” – Tony Montana

Tony prefers to do business according to the law of the street. But when pushed into a corner, he can both attack and defend himself with lawyers too.

• “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.” – Tony Montana

Tony Montana was no poet, but he understood the importance of knowing who you are and where you’re wanting to go. He doesn”t need tips on how to stay focused. He knows what he wants and no one is going to stop him from getting it.

• “Who put this thing together? Me, that’s who! Who do I trust? Me!” – Tony Montana

Don’t Mess With The Wrong Person

• “I’m Tony Montana! You f*ck with me, you f*ckin’ with the best!” – Tony Montana

This Tony Montana quote is a great reminder that a little confidence is great, but too much confidence can get you killed.

• “You a communist? Huh? How’d you like it, man? They tell you all the time what to do, what to think, what to feel. Do you wanna be like a sheep? Like all those other people? Baah! Baah!”  – Tony Montana
• “I never fucked anybody over in my life didn’t have it coming to them. You got that? All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don’t break them for no one. Do 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. Do you wanna go on with me, you say it. You don’t, then you make a move.” – Tony Montana

This is one of the best Tony Montana quotes about life. Montana knows that besides fear, his ‘word’ is one of his most valuable currencies on the street. He prides himself on being a man of his word and not letting anyone break his balls. He also values life. He’s alive

• Tony Montana: Go ahead! I take your fucking bullets! You think you kill me with bullets? I take your fucking bullets! Go ahead!

At this point in the movie, Tony amassed so much power and wealth, that he’s blinded by it.

• Tony Montana: Every dog has his day.
• (Tony fixes his eyes on Mel Bernstein.)

• Tony Montana: 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 goodnight 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!

This is one of my favorite Tony Montana quotes. At this point in the film, Montana understands his place in society and calls out the snobby people in the restaurant who are looking down on him.

• “Why don’t you try sticking your head up your ass? See if it fits.” – Tony Montana
• “You think you can take me? You need a f*ck*ng army if you gonna take me!” – Tony Montana

• Tony Montana: You wanna f*ck with me? Okay. You wanna play rough? Okay. Say hello to my little friend! (Tony shoots)

This quote is, without a doubt, not only one of the most famous Scarface quotes but one of the most iconic lines in movie history. It’s a simple line, but in Pacino’s hands, it became a little piece of poetry.

More Scarface Quotes From The Rest Of The Cast

Sure Al Pacino has most of the best lines in Scarface, but the rest of the cast has some great moments. Here are some Scarface quotes from Michelle Pfeiffer and the rest of the cast.

What’s Your Definition Of A Good Day?

• Mel Bernstein: You oughta smile, Tony. Enjoy yourself. Any day above ground is a good day. (1:21:42)

It’s hard to argue with pure logic. This line delivered by the actor Harris Yulin . Even though he”s a dirty cop, he drops this major truth bomb on Tony Montana. He’s essentially saying to appreciate your life, no matter what it looks like. Because once it’s over, it’s over. So smile and have a great day!

Always Understand Who’s Buying And Who’s Selling

• Elvira Hancock: Don’t get high on your own supply.

When it comes to keeping power, it’s crucial to stay in control of your own impulses. Tony Montana’s wife, Elvira Hancock, uttered this insight to Tony while he was making a deal with a dirty cop. Too bad Tony ignored the advice because it ultimately led to his downfall.

Movies like The Godfather , Serpico , and Scarface made Al Pacino one of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars when he was still very young. Of course his acting was incredible in these films, but these movies wouldn’t be great without great dialogue. It goes without saying that it takes a great script to make a great movie. And thanks to Oliver Stone’s legendary screenplay, people will be repeating these classic Al Pacino Scarface quotes for decades to come.

Scarface (1983): “Say Goodnight to the Bad Guy!” | Transcript

• October 20, 2023

CLASSIC SCENE

Tony (Al Pacino) has an argument with Elvira (Michelle Pfeiffer) in a crowded restaurant. When it’s over, Tony continues his rant, calling the diners out on their moral hypocrisy.

INT. RESTAURANT — NIGHT Drug lord Tony Montana (Al Pacino), his disaffected wife Elvira (Michelle Pfeiffer) and his right-hand man Manny (Steven Bauer) are eating at a fancy restaurant. Tony has been drinking heavily and launches into a rant, revealing that Elvira is unable to have the baby they’ve been trying for. Furious, she hits back.

Elvira: What do you do? You deal drugs and you kill people. Oh, that’s wonderful, Tony. Real contribution to human history.

Tony: Go ahead. Tell everybody.

Elvira: You want a kid?

Tony: Come on, tell the world.

Elvira: What kind of a father do you think you’d ma—

Tony tries to leap up and grab her. Knocks glassware over. Manny jumps up to restrain him.

Tony: Sit the fuck down!

Elvira: You gonna drive him to school in the mornings? Are you even gonna be alive by the time the kid goes to school? You don’t even know how to be a husband!

Tony leaps up again. Manny restrains him. Now everyone in the restaurant is looking on. Waiters are rushing over to help, while Tony’s goons maintain order.

Tony: Sit down before I—

Elvira: Do we ever go anywhere without having six thugs hanging around all the time? I have Nick the Pig as a friend. What kind of life is that?

Tony sits down.

Elvira: Can’t you see what we’re becoming, Tony? We’re losers. We’re not winners. We’re losers.

Tony: Go home. You’re stoned.

Elvira: I’m not stoned. You’re stoned.

Tony: Hey, get her outta here.

Elvira: No. No. I’m not going home with you. I’m not going home with anybody. I’m going home alone. I’m leaving you. I don’t need this shit anymore.

Manny: Okay, but I’ll walk you out. I’ll take her home in a cab.

They leave.

Tony: Let her go. Let her go, man. Another Quaalude, she gonna love me again.

Tony is alone at the table. The other diners are staring at him in disgust. He fixes them with a stare and flings his napkin on the table, narrowly missing a candle.

Tony: What you looking 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.

He stands up with help from his goon, Ernie (Arnaldo Santana), and starts walking slowly to the exit, swaying and ranting as he does so.

Tony: 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 goodnight to the bad guy! Go 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.

As he disappears from view, we hear faintly:

Tony: There’s a bad guy coming through! Better get outta his way!

Scarface: tony montana's 10 best quotes.

There are many great quotes in the iconic gangster movie, Scarface. And a good number of the impressive remarks come from Tony Montana.

In Scarface , gangster Tony Montana has the quintessential rags to riches story, rising from a Cuban immigrant to one of the biggest crime bosses in Miami. The character is considered a cultural icon and there are many reasons why this is the case. One of the impressive things about him is the way he holds conversations.

RELATED:  10 Behind-The-Scenes Facts About Scarface

Tony is boisterous, always talking more than he listens. But he isn't just a loudmouth with no content. The gangster makes some very interesting comments throughout the movie, making himself look very intelligent in the process. To date, some of Tony's best quotes remain an important part of pop culture.

When He Threatens To Call His Lawyer

"he’s such a good lawyer, that by tomorrow morning, you gonna be working in alaska. so dress warm.”.

Tony normally prefers to go with the law of the street but when dealing with the authorities, things get a little different. When he gets arrested, he doesn't request a lawyer the way ordinary people do.

It's one of Tony Montana's most badass scenes because he acts like getting arrested is only a minor inconvenience to him. The gangster's claim that he'll be out in no time is believable since he is wealthy enough to afford the most skilled lawyers in Miami. He is so certain that he is going to get off easy that he decides to shift to mockery. His advice to dress warmly is even funnier, considering that he adopts a very serious expression when he says it.

When He Tells His Elvira Not To Worry About Frank

"i like frank, you know. only i like you better.".

Tony gets smitten by Elvira, the mistress of his first boss, Frank, the moment he sees her. When he begins seducing her, she wonders if he's worried about what Frank will do to him when he finds out.

The trope of the junior gangster falling in love with the boss' wife or girlfriend can be found in a number of the best gangster movies of all time but it is Scarface that explores it magnificently. Elvira appears good from far but as soon as Tony marries her, she ends up giving him more migraines than he ever imagined.

When He Shoots A Corrupt Police Officer

"first-class tickets to the resurrection... so long, mel, have a nice trip.".

After Tony gets attacked by two assassins, he confronts the dirty cop Mel Bernstein with a gun. Mel begs for his life, promising he can fix things but Tony shoots him.

RELATED:  10 Hidden Details In Scarface Everyone Missed

From the early moments of the movie, it becomes clear that Tony isn't one to forgive whenever he feels aggrieved. The fact that Mel is a police officer and killing him might bring a lot of heat to him doesn't stop him. Though it's not necessarily that the reality of the situation, Tony feels untouchable in the city.

When He Orders Chi-Chi To Get The Cocaine

"chi-chi get the yayo".

Tony's trusted henchman Chi-Chi accompanies him to a meeting with new Colombian drug lords at the Sun Ray hotel. When it all goes wrong, Tony orders him to get the yayo quickly.

The Miami underworld slang used in the movie is part of what makes it so great. Any passers-by definitely wouldn't understand what yayo  means so Tony is wise to use the word while making a getaway. Additionally, the moment further paints Chi-Chi as the obedient subordinate who would do anything his boss wants. After all, he had agreed to kill to get a green card.

When He Rants At The Patrons

"say good night to the bad guy.".

During a dinner date at a restaurant, Tony flips, causing his wife, Elvira, to walk out. When he is gone, he starts lecturing the patrons, telling them he's better than them because he has the guts to do whatever he wants. He then concludes by ordering them to wish him goodnight.

After the argument with his wife, Tony is aware that some of the elite patrons are looking down on him for his lack of discipline. By ranting at them, he is simply trying to make himself feel better. He is also flexing his power, believing that none of them can do anything to him no matter how lowly they think of him.

When Jerry The Banker Asks Him How Married Life Is Treating Him

"better than you are.".

Tony's banker Jerry gets worried when the gangster starts bringing in too much money for him to launder. He thus demands higher cuts to keep doing the job. The next time he and Tony meet, he asks his client how marriage life is taking him, to which Tony gives a precise answer.

RELATED:  The 5 Best (& 5 Worst) '80s Crime Movies

Tony's marriage life is shown to be quite bad. The fact that he considers his relationship with his wife to be better than his relationship with Jerry shows just how angry he is. Tony ultimately chooses to work with another banker named Seidelbaum, something that contributes to his downfall.

When He Fires At Sosa's Men

"say hello to my little friend.".

When drug lord Alejandro Sosa's army invades Tony Montana's compound, he locks himself inside his office and grabs a grenade launcher. Knowing the men are now outside the door, he yells the words above before mowing them down.

It's undoubtedly one of the best scenes in gangster movies because Tony chooses to take out several men before he dies rather than just sit and wait to be executed. It's rather unfortunate that Tony doesn't get to face Sosa himself before he dies but his words and bravery make the moment very worthwhile.

When He Argues With The Immigration Officer

"baah baah".

When threatened with deportation, Tony starts ranting at one of the immigration officers. He accuses of being a weak person since only follows orders and likens his situation to that of a sheep and shepherd. Even better is that he goes on to make sheep sounds.

In most Hollywood productions, gangsters are shown to despise people who work 9 to 5 jobs. They consider such people not only not adventurous but also unworthy of respect. It's the reason he goes on a passionate rant, which eventually turns comical. The way Tony does the sheep imitation qualifies this as one of the funniest scenes in Scarface .

When He Informs Sosa That He Killed His Man

"your man, he wouldn't listen to me so i had to cancel his f***g contract.".

Sosa once sends Tony and Alberto to assassinate a journalist who has incriminating information. The two disagree during the job so Tony kills him. He later tells Sosa about it, a revelation that makes the boss furious.

RELATED:  Al Pacino's 10 Best Movies (According To IMDb)

Tony's words show how highly he thinks of himself. Instead of apologizing, he boasts about ending Alberto's life yet he had no authorization to do that. After all, he isn't the boss at this particular time. His cavalier attitude eventually causes him to fall out with Sosa, leading to a war between the two men.

When He Dares Sosa's Men To Kill Him

"you think you kill me with bullets i take your f***g bullets go ahead”.

In Tony's final moments, he gets outnumbered by Sosa's men and dares them to kill him. It's something they do all too gladly, leading to one of the most iconic deaths in the movie.

Even in his last moments, Tony can't help but thump his chest. Given how much power he has amassed throughout his criminal career, he has come to think of himself as immortal. For a moment, even the audiences are made to believe that Tony can't die. But it happens, bringing the gangster's reign to an end.

'Scarface' Ending Explained: What Is Tony Montana's Fate?

The rise and fall of Tony Montana.

The Big Picture

• Al Pacino delivers an unforgettable performance as Tony Montana, making Scarface a cult classic with a hypnotic ending.
• The movie tells the story of a Cuban immigrant who rises to power in the Miami drug cartel, succumbing to greed and losing everything he values.
• Controversial and divisive, Scarface remains a movie that eludes conclusive opinions, but its enduring legacy lies in its captivating and compelling storytelling.

Al Pacino’s most commended role might have been as Michael Corleone, but his loudest and most unforgettable performance arguably comes from Brian De Palma’s Scarface . The movie’s spirit drifts alongside Pacino, who delivers an unforgettable performance as Tony Montana, peaking and plummeting Though the movie was reviewed harshly at the time of its release , it was catapulted into a cult status with passing years, frequently topping the charts of gangster movies. Pacino’s performance, a compelling story and grand set designs are all a part of its charm, but what truly leaves a lasting impact is the movie’s hypnotic ending.

In 1980 Miami, a determined Cuban immigrant takes over a drug cartel and succumbs to greed.

What Happens In 'Scarface'?

The movie is set during the '80s , when the tensions between Cuba and the United States were rising. Many Cuban citizens who considered themselves political prisoners were seeking asylum in the US. So, Fidel Castro, the communist leader of Cuba at the time, released some 25,000 fugitives, sending them off to the US. And one of these fugitives is Tony Montana (Al Pacino), a hard-boiled, hot-headed guy who wants to make something out of himself in the land of dreams. Montana doesn’t get handed his American green card easily though, he has to kill a communist for it. But not that he minds, of course ("I’d kill a communist for fun, but for a green card I’d carve him up real nice.”) Upon completing the kill, Montana receives his green card, alongside his loyal accomplice, Manny ( Steven Bauer ). The two work at a restaurant for some time, but Montana believes he’s destined for greater things.

Tony finally gets his chance to shine after meeting Miami drug kingpin Frank Lopez ( Robert Loggia ). Working under him, Tony learns the tricks of the trade, and accrues wealth and influence. But Tony’s ambition is too great for him to be held anywhere but the top spot, and soon enough, he murders Frank and begins working with Sosa ( Paul Shenar ), an extremely wealthy and powerful drug overlord from Bolivia. Tony’s cocaine empire yields him great success — he lives in an absurdly ostentatious mansion, has a tiger as a pet and a beautiful woman he’d always coveted as his wife.

‘Scarface’ Was Originally X-Rated, and Brian De Palma Wasn’t Happy About It

But none of it translates to happiness. If anything, T ony grows more miserable and distrusting of those around him. His mother disapproves of his criminal path and doesn’t want anything to do with him, his wife grows tired of his obsession with money and leaves him, his friend, Manny, gets weary of being looked down upon, and his sister, Gina ( Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio ), is frustrated with his overprotective attitude. So, despite having all that he wanted Tony is more alone than ever. What’s more, he gets set up by the IRS, and he might be looking at a couple of years in prison. But Sosa comes to his aid and proposes that if Tony helps dispose of a certain high-profile activist, he won’t have to spend any time in prison. Tony accepts the deal, but when it is time to act, he hesitates because the activist is with his wife and kids, and Tony might be a ruthless gangster, but he isn't without principles. This act of mercy lands him on Sosa’s kill list, and he sends an army of hit squads to finish Tony.

How Does Scarface End?

After the botched assassination attempt, Tony returns home to learn that his sister has been missing. Upon investigating, he finds out that Gina is at Manny’s house, and in a fit of rage, he kills Manny. But he comes to regret his decision as Gina reveals that they recently got married and were planning to surprise him. Tony takes Gina to his home, lays her to sleep with the help of pills and drowns himself in cocaine and remorse. But when Tony’s sitting in his office stoned and wallowing in his pain and anger, Gina walks into the room with a maniacal smile, wearing nothing but a robe. She has a gun in her hands and craziness in her eyes, she walks towards Tony suggesting that he killed Manny because Tony wanted her for himself, and then she starts shooting at him while repeating, “Fuck me, Tony!”

But her revenge rampage is cut short when one of Sosa’s men shows up behind Tony and starts firing an automatic gun at her. Tony takes the shooter down, but he can't save Gina. And soon, his mansion gets filled with Sosa’s men. They kill all of Tony’s men and stand vigil outside his doors to finish him off too. But Tony has no intention of going down easy, so loads up his grenade launcher, yells out an iconic line — “say hello to my little friend!” — and blasts away the door and the men waiting to kill him. And then he launches into a cocaine-fueled killing spree, firing indiscriminate bullets at everyone around him. And after he runs out of bullets, he doesn’t escape but just stands there, swallowing all the bullets, refusing to fall. It’s only after he gets shot with a shotgun at point-blank range that he falls into a pool next to a flashy globe that says “The World Is Yours.”

‘Scarface’s’ Enduring Legacy

Now 40 years after its release, Scarface remains a controversial movie , and not just for its unrestrained violence. Critics can’t seem to agree if it’s a great movie or just a hollow spectacle that revels in its excess. Roger Ebert held the movie in high regard, praising how Tony Montana was carved out to be a compelling character, one that “stays in the memory, taking on the dimensions of a real, tortured person.” On the other hand Leonard Maltin suggested that the movie is unpleasant and unnecessarily violent and that it “offers no new insights except that crime doesn't pay.”

Interestingly, Martin Scorsese somehow saw this hatred coming. Halfway through the movie’s premiere, Scorsese turned to the filmmaker and said, “You guys are great — but be prepared, because they're going to hate it in Hollywood ... because it's about them." Though now Scarface has cemented itself as a cult classic, the debate still rages on. But even this polarity of opinions is a testament to the movie’s enduring legacy in the way it still manages to elude any conclusive opinions. It may not be considered the hallmark of a movie that’s a masterpiece , but it’s certainly the hallmark of a movie that’s interesting through and through.

Scarface is now available to stream on Netflix in the U.S.

CBC Music Past Shows

Director Brian De Palma's 1983 gangster movie 'Scarface' wasn't an immediate hit when it was released - critical reactions were mixed, and it didn't blow up the box office - but it's developed a huge fan base since.

There are plenty of reasons why people are still talking about the film 30 years later: it's got that mesmerizing lead performance from Al Pacino (not to mention a great supporting role from Steven Bauer, aka Manny), a gritty, intense take on the drug trade, and iconic lines like, "Say hello to my little friend!"

But the film continues to be a touchstone, regularly referenced in pop culture and countless hip-hop tracks.

It's got a lot to teach us - Tony Montana is obviously not someone to imitate in a literal sense, but some of his values are surprisingly applicable to everyday life.

On the other hand, he got some things completely wrong.

So, balancing the good with the very, very bad, here are some of the lessons we learned from 'Scarface':

Live By Your Values

As one of his associates says, "I like you, Tony - there's no lying in you."

Following a moral code when you're also a cold-blooded killer may seem like a bit of a contradiction in terms, but Tony knows what he believes and he sticks to it.

In fact, he ends up taking actions that lead to his own demise when he refuses to kill an innocent woman and child.

Granted, dying in a hail of gunfire may not be the ideal way to end your story - but for Tony, it was a better option than living with the guilt of having taken innocent lives.

Look Out For Your Friends

Like when Manny saves Tony from being killed in that chainsaw attack. Good looking out.

But also, if you run with a dangerous crowd, look out for your friends, because they might be coming for you. Especially if you're sleeping with their sister.

Never, Ever Buy A Tiger

In one scene in the movie, guests at his wedding come across the animal chained up on the ground's of Tony's home.

Owning a wild animal of any kind is cruel and awful. Keeping it chained up in your yard is even worse.

Just don't do this. Ever.

Go After What You Want

In Tony's case, his goals are simple, and tough to attain: money, power, and his boss's girlfriend (played by Michelle Pfeiffer).

Whether or not Tony was making the right choices by going after all those goals, he didn't rest until he had them.

In a drug-addled speech at a fancy restaurant, he tells the assembled wealthy diners, "you don't have the guts to be what you want to be":

Tony may not win in the end, but he definitely has the guts to go after what he wants.

Don't Let Money Dictate Your Interior Decorating Choices

But the decorations that he chooses are a little... Excessive.

It's nice to celebrate your successes, but when you've installed a fountain with cherubs holding up a neon sign that says 'The World Is Yours' on it, you have left good taste behind.

Also, no one needs banisters that fancy.

Know When To Stop

For a minute there, he had it all: a multi-million-dollar empire, a beautiful wife, all the power he could want.

But the mixture of an ugly drug habit and an unstoppable desire for more drove Tony to keep going until the inevitable fall.

If you sense that things are getting out of hand or that you're not in control of your life anymore, it's definitely time to let go.

Imagine an alternate version of 'Scarface' where Tony gets out of the drug business, starts a music career, and becomes a world-famous American icon. Let's call it... 'The Blueprint'.
