Scarface Page #3

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

Expensive, huh?

Here you are, Little Boy.

Easy dough, huh,

for just standing outside

and listenin' to a gun go off?

Cinch. When are we gonna get

some more? We'll get plenty.

There's business just waitin' for

some guy to come and run it right.

And I got ideas. We're

workin' for Lovo, ain't we?

Lovo. Who's Lovo? Just some guy who's a little

bit more smart than Big Louie. That's all.

Hey, that guy is soft. I

could just see it in his face.

He's got a setup, that's all,

and we gotta wait.

Someday I'm gonna run

the whole works.

Yeah? Remember, those monkeys

on the North Side ain't so soft.

Oh, yeah? Say, they're

satisfied, ain't they?

Why didn't they come and

take Big Louie before we did?

Listen, Little Boy.

In this business, there's only one law

you gotta follow to keep outta trouble.

Do it first, do it yourself

and keep on doin' it.

Mmm!

Where's Cesca?

Oh, I don't know.

She go out.

What do you mean? Ain't

she comin' home for dinner?

Oh.

Hey, I don't like that.

You tell her I want she should

come home for dinner.

Understand? Sure. I tell her lotsa time.

"Come home. Come home.

Tony no like. "

But she don't...

That's a nice way I catch ya,

huh? What do you mean, "catch me"?

I wasn't doin' nothin'.

You was kissin' him.

Sure. What of it?

Well, I don't like it.

You're missin' lots of fun. Listen, I don't

want anyone kissin' my sister. Understand?

You're hurtin' my arm! I don't want

anybody puttin' their hands on you!

What do you think you're

doing? I'm your brother.

You don't act it. You act

more like... I don't know.

Sometimes I think... I don't care

what you think. You do what I say.

Sure, and never have any fun. Oh, "never

have any fun. " You call that fun, huh?

Runnin' around with guys

like that. That's "fun. "

Listen, you want

real fun, huh?

Here. How's that?

Gee, Tony! Where'd you get it? Never mind

where I got it. You just spend it, see?

Tony, you're swell.

Go on.

Get ready for dinner.

And remember,

you do what I say.

No more fellas,

understand?

What for you wanna

give her money, huh?

Ma, she's just a kid.

She wants to have fun.

Yeah? Sometime,

I think you crazy.

Cesca!

What for you take that money,

huh? Because I want it. That's why.

Give it back.

It's bad money.

Tony no got it in no good way.

It gonna bring you lotsa trouble.

What do I care where he gets it? There's

nothing wrong with his giving it to me.

Tony wants me to have a good

time. Oh, yes? You listen!

Tony no love you

All the time,

but what he thinks...

Oh, he's got lotsa tricks.

nothing. He would to his sister.
