Scarface Page #2

Synopsis: Johnny Lovo rises to the head of the bootlegging crime syndicate on the south side of Chicago following the murder of former head, Big Louis Costillo. Johnny contracted Big Louis' bodyguard, Tony Camonte, to make the hit on his boss. Tony becomes Johnny's second in command, and is not averse to killing anyone who gets in his and Johnny's way. As Tony is thinking bigger than Johnny and is not afraid of anyone or anything, Tony increasingly makes decisions on his own instead of following Johnny's orders, especially in not treading on the north side run by an Irish gang led by a man named O'Hara, of whom Johnny is afraid. Tony's murder spree increases, he taking out anyone who stands in his and Johnny's way of absolute control on the south side, and in Tony's view absolute control of the entire city. Tony's actions place an unspoken strain between Tony and Johnny to the point of the two knowing that they can't exist in their idealized world with the other. Tony's ultimate downfall may be

He's a nice little fella. They

give him a writ of hocus pocus.

Sit down.

Thanks.

He said, " You stay here till

the heat's off. " He said...

Hey. That's pretty hot.

That's Poppy.

Hey, Poppy.

Meet Tony Camonte.

Hi.

Mm-hmm.

How are the coppers taking it? Huh?

Oh, I didn't pay much attention.

What about the newspapers?

Yeah. I bring 'em along.

The News has got

the best story.

Pictures of you

and one of me too.

Huh! Where'd they run it,

in the razor ads?

Huh? Oh, that.

That's an old business.

You'll get used to that.

I got it in the war.

War... with a blond

in a Brooklyn speakeasy.

Some kidder, huh?

It takes a long time

with the pincher's, huh?

You've got an office for this sort of

thing, Johnny. Why don't you use it?

There you are, Tony.

That's a bonus.

Hey, that's a nice feel.

That was a fine job, Tony.

Remember, that's only chicken feed.

You've stepped into big company.

You stick to me and do

what I say, play square,

you'll be walkin' around

with lace pants and a gold hat.

You know what I mean?

Sure, I know.

Now, listen, I'm gonna cut you in on a

percentage. Give you a raise... double.

The South Side is rollin' in jack.

All we gotta do is step in and take it.

Yeah, and have some fun

with O'Hara too, huh?

Who? Now wait a minute. O'Hara's

too big a guy to buck now.

There's lots of jack

on the North Side.

Now listen, you.

You let me think up the ideas.

I'll take care of that big hop

in my own way when the time comes.

I say we stay out of the North

Side. I say we leave O'Hara alone.

And what I say goes.

Don't ever forget that.

You're the boss.

That's better.

From now on, next to me, the

boys take orders from you.

Yeah, me and you, huh?

That's fine talk, boss.

Here. Have a cigar. There'll

be plenty of work for everybody.

Costillo slowed down too much. Yeah.

And now he come

to a dead stop.

Here. You'd better

smoke one of mine.

Mmm. That's pretty nice. Expensive, huh?

I don't like cigar smoke

in my room. Do you mind?

Listen, I'm gonna hold off that

meeting with the boys a couple of days.

After Big Louie's funeral, it's

better. You know what I mean?

Hmm? Oh, yeah. Sure, sure.

It don't look so good.

And I want you to send some flowers...

a cross of white carnations from me, see?

Yeah, and I send

lotsa purple bunch.

Big Louie, he always

liked purple.

Why don't you go

and do it now?

You'd better

make that meetin' Monday.

Tell all the guys that want to run

beer on the South Side to be there.

Tell 'em I'm gonna make a

speech. Know what I mean? Mm-hmm.

Well, good-bye, Poppy.

See ya again.

She don't like anybody but me. Mm-hmm.

She's a very busy girl.
