Scarface (1932 film)

"[at the beginning of the film] This picture is an indictment of gang rule in America and of the callous indifference of the government to this constantly increasing menace to our safety and our liberty. Every incident in this picture is the reproduction of an actual occurrence, and the purpose of this picture is to demand of the government: 'What are you going to do about it?' The government is your government. What are YOU going to do about it?"

"Listen, Little Boy, in this business there's only one law you gotta follow to keep out of trouble: Do it first, do it yourself, and keep on doing it."

"Ah, he ain't so tough. Hanging out in a flower shop. You afraid of a guy like that?"

"I don't know nothin'. I don't see nothin'. I don't hear nothin'. When I do I don't tell the cops. Understand?"

"[Smashes the window] Just changing the name on the door."

"This fellow's got ideas I don't like."

"[Holding a tommy gun] Lookit, Johnny, you can carry it around like a baby!"

"Nice little thug. He give 'em a writ of hocus pocus."

"Hey, Cesca, you and me, huh? We'll show them. We'll lick them all, the North Side, the South Side! We'll lick the whole world!"

"I get you a hunk of soap, you take a bath in it."

"You're a butcher! That's what you are! You're a butcher!"

"I told you you'd show up this way. Get you in a jam without a gun and you squeal like a yellow rat. Come on, climb into this (handcuffs)."

"He hurt you. He hurt you. He hurt everybody."

"What do you use to think with, an empty beer keg?"

"When you're layin' in an alley with your head blown off, maybe you'll learn how this business ought to be run."

"That's rotten. "Costillo Slaying Starts Gang War" ... You'll need 40 men on this story for the next five years. Do you know what's happening? This town is up for the grabs. Get me? You know, Costillo was the last of the old-fashioned gangleaders. There's a new crew coming out. And every guy that's got money enough to buy a gun is gonna try to step into his place. You see? They'll be shooting each other like rabbits for the control of the booze business. Do you get it? It will be just like war. That's it! WAR! You put that in the lead! WAR - GANG WAR."
