CLOSEUP OF TONY MONTANA anc

the scar-faced one, in the young angry prime of his life. We dwell first on the scar which he likes to scratch now and then. We move to the eyes, pure in their fury. Finally we encompass the face -- the face of a man about to explode -- muscle, tissue, brain -- a man willing to live or die and on the increment of a moment, inflict or receive either’ one. He is clothed in rags crossed with holes, his shoes broken cardboard, his hair unkempt, his complexion sallow from prison. Over this: VOICE #1 (0.8.} Okay so what do you call _ yourself? VOICE #2 (0.5.) Como se llama? MONTANA Tony Montana... you? (X) VOICE #] Where'd you learn to speak the _ English, Tony? MONTANA My old man -- he was American. Sailor. (X) Bum. I always know, y'know, oneday I gonna come to America. I see all the movies.... VOICE #1 So where's your old man _ now? MONTANA He's dead. He _ died. Somewhere.... VOICE #1 Mother? TONY

VOICE #2 What kind of work you do in Cuba, Tony? TONY This. That. The Army. Some con- struction work.... VOICE #2 Un hunh. Got any family in the States, Tony? Cousins, brother-in-law? TONY (a beat) NO. Nobody. Everybody's dead. _ MAN #I Y'ever been in jail, Tony? TONY Me jail? No way. We now reveal three men in civilian clothing in the dark afternoon light of the little room. Actually it's a plywood office somewhere in the processing hall and we hear the din from the hall over the question and answer. Two of the men sit around a desk, the Third Man stands in a _ corner, staring at Tony, the most authoritative-looking of the three. MAN #1 (checking off a list) You been in a mental hospital, Tony? TONY (grinning) Yeah, in the boat coming over. MAN #1 How 'bout homosexuality, Tony? You. like men, y'like to dress up like a woman? TONY (to Man #2) Never tried it. What the fuck's wrong (X) with this guy, what's he think I am?

MAN #2 Just answer the questions, Tony.

The voices of the men remain cool and collected throughout.

TONY
(to Man #1)
Fuck no. MAN #1 Arrested? Vagrancy? Marijuana? TONY NO. .NO. Never. Nothing.

His eye movements are rapid (over shoulders, sides, doors) and he does a lot of touching -- objects -- lightly with the

tips of the fingers. Man #3 is stepping forward out of the shadows.

MAN #3 So where'd you get the beauty scar? TONY This?.. (scratching the scar, shrugs) I was a kid. You should see the other kid. (a grim chuckle) MAN #3 And this?

He holds up Tony's hand and indicates the tattoo between the thumb and second finger -- a heart with the word "Madre" scaled through it.

TONY
Oh that was for my sweetheart. MAN #3 Sweetheart?
(to the

other men) We been seeing more and more of these. It's some kinda code these guys used in the can. Pitchfork means an assassin or something. This one's new...You want to tell us, Montana or you want to take a little trip to the detention center?

The bus is packed with the harder-looking refugee-types. The windows are caged and we see INS guards. The noise level is high, like a sack of monkeys.

Manny (Manolo) Ribera's got his feet up on an empty seat. {X) He's big, strong, handsome, with dashing darkly feminine eyes -- younger than Tony, and dapper in his cheap clothing. He's eating a Baby Ruth candy bar. MANNY Seat's taken. TONY

So I*l11 sit in your lap.

Tony pushes his feet off, sits. He takes the Baby Ruth out of Manny's hand, peels out the bar of chocolate, then returns the empty wrapper to Manny.

TONY
So what'd you tell them?
MANNY
I told them what you told me to tell them. I told them I was in sani-

I didn't tell you sanitation. I told you to tell them you was in a sani- tarium, not sanitation.

A movie projector... ~.,the face of Bogart -- unshaven, paranoid. We’re watching a badly damaged 16 mm print of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. It's near the end of the film and he's alone, talking

to himself just before the bandits get him....

The rag-tag audience is noisily yammering back at the screen, the camera moving past Manny Ray, chewing gum, hair slicked, eyes in cat-like repose...to Tony, enrapt, eyes like an eleven year old, mouth hanging open.

BOGART

Conscience. Conscience. What thing. If you believe you've got a _ conscience, ‘it‘ll pester you to death. But if you don't believe you've got one, what can it do to you? Makes XX¥ick so much talking and fussing about nonsense. Time to go to _ sleep.

TONY

MANNY
Fucking crazy, hunh!
TONY
That gold dust blowing in the wind. Y'see Manny, he's always looking over his shoulder. Hunh? Like me....

He hunches, darting exaggerated looks over his’ shoulder, imitating Bogart. Manny laughs. In his black shirt with zig-zag dots and colors and the baggy pants and sunglasses, Tony's starting to look American. He's even got himself a pop button pinned to his shirt that says "Fuck Off and Die." And hi6 English rolls faster off his tongue, his confidence more pronounced.

TONY

He's in the middle of the "Boulevard" where a bustling black market in toiletries, clothing, cigarettes, and transves- tites is conducted nightly in the harsh glare of barrack neon.

Tony, five minutes later, in a phone booth, in the middle of a bank of them, dozens of Marielietos pressing to get in, trying still to contact somebody -- anybody -- on the _ outside.

Tony is dialing, his eyes shifting down to the telephone number written in pencil on the back of a snapshot. As he finishes the number, he flips the snapshot over and we _ see

a young girl, about thirteen years old, dark, tiny, fiery, standing together with a dog and Tony, early twenties, in shadow, the fringes of the photo heavily tattered with handling. Tony stares at it, his mind drifting as the phone

rings in a distant place. A brief moment of repose we have not yet seen in Tony.

Someone picks up the phone. An older woman's Voice. His expression alters to uncertainty.

VOICE Yes?,.Hello?..Who is this?

Tony changes his mind, hangs up. Pause. The faces of those in line peer in, the next party raps on the door, but Tony ignores it, slips the snapshot back into the wallet in his pants, then at his own pace, exits the phone booth.

He walks a few beats, his eyes pensive. Then recognizes somebody in another phone booth and goes_ over.

Angel Frenandez has got the face of one, as he argues on

the phone, then hangs up, a desolate look on his face, a worn phone book in his hand.

TONY
Angel, how ya doin'?
ANGEL
You know how many goddamn Fernandezes are living in fucking Union City? And Y gotta call every fucking one of ‘em to find my brother!
TONY
(in passing)
Don't waste your dime, chico. You know your brother hates you.
ANGEL
Go fuck yourself, Tony.

Manny catches up to Tony.

MANNY
He hears we got problems. Im- migration is having these hearings, y ' know? And they're saying nine out of ten of us is gonna get shipped back!
TONY

TONY
Shit, I ¢oulda told you that.
MANNY
Yeah, so0 what do you think the immigration's gonna do when we riot? You think they're gonna let us out? They're gonna throw away the key, that's what.
ANGEL
Oh shit! What's I say. fThis is gonna end bad, muchachos....

TONY

Hey, I tell you guys this isn't Cuba here, this is the United States. They got nothing but lawyers here. We're on the television. We're in the newspapers. Whatta they gonna do -- ship us back to Cuba? Castro -- he don't want us. Nobody no place wants us so whatta they gonna

do -- put us in a gas chamber so all the people can see? They're stuck with us, chico -- they gotta let us go!

TONY
You worry too much, mi _ hermano. Like the man says, ‘when you got ‘em by the balls, their hearts and minds gonna follow' «| hunh?

Tony winks and walks off.

The radio is playing hard rock, something like Blondie or Benatar from the stoop of a nearby barrack. Tony loves the sound and swings into it, snapping his fingers and rolling

his hips like Presley. He back-peddles, smiling at Manny and Angel.

In the delapidated backseat are Angel, the baby-faced punk, and Chi-Chi, both from Freedomtown.

XXX --so this and my other factory I can can guarantee production of 200 kilos refined every month of the year. Problem is I have no_ steady market. Some months JI can't get rid of fifty keys, other months I have to do 2 to 300 keys, it's crazy, hunh? Nobody can run a business that way ---

OMAR
I know what you mean Kif%osa, we got the same problems up in KKM demand varies for us too, month to month....

Sosa looks at him like that's obvious and MXMiWn. In his skinny suit, with the wet cigarette clamped between his nervous fingers, Omar's not quite in his league with Sosa.

Tony, awed by the scope of it all, follows along, stops to look at a sample of the dried coke.

Tony eyeballs him back, playing a game with him, _ then

samples the coke off his thumb into his nose. Pause. His expression says I like it. He moves on. The Shadow MXMMWith him.

to a cavernous dining room highlighted by huge _ paintings

from the Spanish classical period and ornate’ candelabra.

At the table are Sosa, Omar, Tony. The Shadow sits impas- sively in a folding chair off to the side, watching Omar

and Tony. Tony is impressed, looking at the plates, the glasses, the silverware, uncomfortable, trying to fit in.

He eats the salmon off a silver plate with oafish movements of his knife and fork as the servants move to and fro, ¢on- stantly changing dishes, confusing Tony (ad-lib during scene).

SOSA
(to Omar)
-.--Say Lopez guarantees me 150 keys a month for a year, and he picks it up down here, I could sell it to him fer as little as 7000 a kilo. You cannot do better than that.

OMAR Well, we do that we gotta take the risk of moving it. Also we'd be cutting out the Columbians. You know what that means?
TONY
That means we gotta go to war with ‘em.

Sosa looks over at him, not quite knowing yet what to make of this guy.

SOSA
When we cut out the Coluxnbians we take risks -- on both sides.

TONY

Split the risk. Guarantee your delivery as far as Panama.

SOSA
Panama? Risky? It costs me more. There I'd sell maybe 13.5 a key.

TONY

13.5! What are you nuts? We still gotta take the shit to Florida. You know what that's like these days? They got the Navy all over the fuckin' place. They got frogmen, they got EC 2s with satellite tracking shit in ‘em, they got fuckin' Bell 209 assault choppers up the ass, we're losing one

out of every nine loads. It's no duckwalk for us anymore, y'know. Forget it.

Omar is looking at him, ready to explode at his blithe assumption of power -- whereas Sosa chuckles, amused by his brashness, starting to be intrigued by this animal.

SOSA

What do you suggest is a fair...? Excuse me.

Interrupted, Sosa looks over at his black aide who suddenly

appears at the door, apparently with a message. Sosa waves him in.

The black aide es. The Skull -- is a slim, tall imposing man with academic, ‘horn-rimmed glasses and close-cropped hair on a huge and impressive skull. He combines the physical qualities of an animal with an intellectual. As he approaches, he glances down the table, his eyes falling

just for a moment -- then continues towards XX same stony, loyal expression.

authority to buy 200 keys, that's it, that's my limit. I got no right to

negotiate for Frank Lopez on anything larger than that. So why don't we...

source 70

The Owner appears at the mike, the music drifting to Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night'.

OWNER
All right, you coneheads, another exciting evening at the Babylon, hunh? (X) Now I want you to check out this next hombre. I found him stoned in the jungle and there's nothing you'll ever see like him. I present with great pride, ‘from Caracas, Venezuela -- 'Octavio'!

Lights dimming to the bluesy rhythm of the Sinatra song as sad-eyed Octavia suddenly appears in the shifting spot- light drawing immediate laughter.

He is dressed as an enormously fat old man with a Quasimodo mask covering both the front and back of his head and neck. With a red bulb for a nose, he _ gyrates grotesquely to the sleek song; once the mood of laughter has been established, the music suddenly shifts upbeat to "Saturday Night Fever" and the clown, like a butterfly from a worm, starts shedding the stuffing from his clothes, his big eyes staring out at us in theatrical melancholy.

Tony watches, sitting alone, distracted by the clown.

More laughter, more clothes coming off, building a tempo. When the head mask comes off, we see the gaunt handsome face of a young clown in white paint with the large

blackened eyes staring without expression at the laughing audience.

Tony is hooked by the image, looks on.

The clown is down to his leotards, thin as a stick, and pulling the girls out onto the floor to dance with him,

bouncing around like yo-yos. Everybody is laughing, everybody is merry...

CONTINUED 113

...except Tony and the clown, weaving in and out of the sharpening spotlight in his white face as the act comes to its close, a haunting figure of mockery....

Tony, absorbed by his thoughts, is lucky this time. His antennae warn him. Out of the side of his eye, he sees....

The two hitters moving on him.

He sprawls. Machine gun fire rips through the upholstery, smashing the mirrors....

Screams, crowd diving for cover....

Tony, hit in the shoulder, rolls, gets his Baretta out of his ankle, firing....

Hits one of the gunmen in the chest; the man staggers

across the disco floor firing volleys into the mirrors and ceilings....

Tony moving under the tables, towards the door, firing....

The second hitter is pinned, firing back, breaking more mirrors, and more screaming.

Tony lets the gunman have another burst then runs out the door, his clothes ripped with blood and'glass.

The clown, Octavio, lies dead on the silent dance floor.

The third hitter advancing, carhops' scattering.

Tony reaching under his seat, gets a hold of his own Ingram machine pistol, cocks it and lays down a field of fire.

Carhops scattering, the hitters seeking cover.

Hitter two, already wounded, is hit again, his head exploding like squashed watermelon.

Tony now pops a button. Bulletproof blackout shutters whap across the shattered windows. He guns the Jaguar out into the lot, bullets careening off the armor plating, whining against the shutters. Tony suddenly brakes the car and reaches down and slams the gear shift into reverse. In an instant, his warmobile accelerates in reverse, climbing to top speed.... As hitter three realizes it's too late, tries to get out of there, but is overtaken and crushed by the car. CUT TO INT.

The office is bare and ugly, the furniture naugahyde black. There's noise from an outer office, and people on phones,

moving, talking.

Tony and Nick sit on a couch stacking twenty dollar bills from the duffel bag and suitcase onto a coffee table.

Two men in casual sports clothing sit opposite them in chairs, one of them -- Seidelbaum -- squaring the bills and passing them efficiently through a money-counting machine which clicks at rhythmic intervals throughout the scene. Seidelbaum's a small, fat 7th Avenue-type with a lot of rings on his fingers and sharp, porky eyes.

The other guy -- Luis -- a dark Cuban, is long, lean and smooth with aquiline nose and dancing eyes. He drinks coffee, smiles a lot and bullshits -- two sordid guys who

look the part.

It's a tedious process counting a million five in twenties, it takes four/five hours; and throughout the desultory dialogue Tony, absorbed by the money, and Nick never stop the monotonous work of counting and stacking and noting the amounts. At all times all four men, thoroughly aware of the large stacks onthe table, move and talk gingerly

although they appear casual and bored. They drink a lot of coffee.

Chi-Chi hurrying up to fTony, worried somebody's seen the shooting. Ernie follows.

CHI-CHI

Tony, come on. We gotta get out of here.

(to Gina) Come on baby...Gina!

Suddenly she goes_ berserk.

GINA
Nooooo00000000!

And shoving Chi-Chi aside, launches herself oon _ Tony, screaming incoherently like a madwoman, trying to kill

him. She beats him around the head, the chest, scratches furrows of flesh from his face. He stands there, oblivious, numbed.

Chi-Chi and Ernie have a demon on their hands. They manage

at last to yank her off Tony, kicking and continuing to scream.

-Tony slumps on -his couch. A haze of coke rises off the

velvet like a snow scene painting on a Christmas. card. Oblivious to the dust, he cuts open a fresh plastic kilo

‘bag of coke and spreads the entire pound out across’ the black marble coffee table.

Ernie and Chi-Chi come in.

CHI-CHI
We got some pills into her, she's cooling down.

Tony pays no- attention, Ernie and Chi-Chi noticing the pile of coke.

Flashing his silver tooter, Tony snorts a truly giant

amount in a large pendular swing of his elbow across the length of coffee table.

Pause as he lets it sink in.

CHI-CHI
(worried)
Boss, what we gonna do _ now? TONY Do? We're gonna war that's what we gonna do. We gonna eat Sosa for breakfast. We're gonna close that

The Bengal tiger paces his spot,’ restless.

A monsoon-like wind blows through the trees on the estate. The monkeys listen quietly.

The f lamingoes flutter.

,,, Then there's a burst of loud music from the stereo speakers on the balcony -- a Billy Joel song, something

smooth and easy about the high times and how fast’ they GO...

».,and we see Tony, in long shot, throw open the terrace

doors and stagger out onto the balcony, overlooking his estate.

-.On a closer angle, we track him to the edge of the balustrade. He's done so much coke now he's practically catatonic; staggering and muttering to himself.

TONY
(insensate)
..,gesus fuckin' Christ whatsa matter with XMM get a hold of y'self now these cocksuckers gonna run over you let ‘em try I bury the cocksuckers....

His point of view -- panning his estate. The dark emptiness echoes back at him. The wind rustling the treetops. Tony shaking his head at himself, He starts to cry.

In far b.g. now, behind Tony, on the video monitors in his office we see:

The main gate and guard shack -- a Marielito crosses into (xX view, checks the gate, turns. Suddenly two figures spring

out at him. One of them garrotting the Marielito. He struggles.

Another monitor now reveals two more figures moving into the interior of the guard shack. They knife the other Marielito

A third monitor. carries another image of shadows moving through the trees on the estate.

On the balcony, Tony is oblivious to it all, spent, almost incoherent.

TONY
...l said to you, Manny, I said I never go crazy and you said, I would you sonofabitch and you was right... those were the good days hunh, we was crazy back in those days, we'd do anything, you and me, we was on the way up, nobody nothing coulda stopped us cause we were the best hunh -- the fucking best....

As Tony turns and starts back through the terrace doors into his study, the camera glides around to a view of a hook flying up and catching the balustrade. A shadow starts climbing up as:

TONY

...we still are Manny, we still are -- see, I'm gonna wipe out all them fuckers out there, I'm gonna run the market, I'm gonna be King Cocaine you hear me, you buy you buy from me -- Tony Montana.

As he crosses into his office, the camera moves to reveal Gina standing there half-dressed in the doorway, her’ eyes blazing with hatred. Tony sees. her. She steps forward, offering her body almost naked to her brother. GINA Is this what you want Tony?... Tony shocked. GINA You can't stand another man_ touching me. So you want me Tony, is that it? Well here I am «jun She fires the Baretta we now see in her hand. The bullet grazes Tony in the leg, snapping him from his catatonia as he goes reeling across the floor behind his desk. She fires again. Again. GINA DRIXb11 yours Tony, I'm all yours now. Bullets ripping into the desk. She advances, offering her sex, methodically shooting out the clip at rhythmic intervals. GINA Come and get me Tony. Before it's too late. He spins across the run away fromthe desk, trying to put distance between them. She sees him _ scurrying,. turns, an expression like a demented angel. GINA Come on Tony, fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me Advancing on him, firing. The furniture tearing up, the chair

spilling, television sets and computer toys shattering, Tony squirming away,hit again in the thigh, shocked, scrambling SiDdo the terrace windows. Her next shot shatters the

window and as Tony ducks again to the side, we see outside onto the terrace behind him:

A young Columbian punk XMiore than twenty -- one of the hitters -- is crouched there, reacting to the broken’ window. He doesn't hesitate, turning his machine gun on _ Gina.

Gina is torn to pieces by the firepower -- blown across the room, spine severed and dead before she hits the floor.

Tony sees it, yells something, in the same instant Swivels to knock the barrel of the machine gun aside. The punk is taken by surprise, not having seen Tony, and Tony now runs him backwards across the balcony and hurls him over the balustrade.

The punk lands in one of the shallow pools on the grounds at the base of the _ balcony.

Tony, from above, grabs up the punk's machine gun and empties the whole clip into the figure thrashing in the pool below.

Ernie runs into view on the far side of the pool, spots (xX Tony, yells up ---

ERNIE e:4

Tony, they're everywhere! Get outta here!

Ernie suddenly wheels, hit in the face, by a burst of (xX Silencer bullets.

We catch a brief glimpse of Sosa's black aide, the Skull, moving quickly along the wall of the house -- directly underneath the balcony on which Tony stands.

Tony, tossing the empty machine gun aside, wildly runs back into his office to get more guns, crosses to Gina _ corpse. It takes him by surprise. He comes to a dead stop, kneels, looking questioningly in her face.

TONY
_ (gently) Hey Gina come on, you still angry at me? I didn't mean to kill Manny, { was.. .| was.

Running his hands along her face, trying to rouse her,

gently lifting her eyelids. Blood's running out of her mouth in rivers.

Rev. CONTT -2 ev. 12/21/82

TONY
Come on Gina, get off the floor. You're all dirty now, you need a bath.. .Mami’s gonna be angry baby -- ooh is she gonna be mad at me!.. Come on open your eyes my baby, Open your eyesS.. .give me a smile.

There's been a steady pounding and calling now on the door (X!

of the office. Tony finally hears it, looks up, then over at the monitors.

One of them reveals Chi-Chi standing there outside the door pounding it.

CHI-CHI
Boss ! Hey boss. Open up!

On the monitor we see Chi-Chi suddenly spin and open fire down into the foyer. Return fire decimates him. A grenade goes off, blows him up against the door.

TONY
Cheeee!

He now seems to come out of his catatonia, runs to his sideboard, hauls out a rocket shoulder-fired rocket

launcher and straps an Uzj across his shoulder. He looks up at the monitor.

On the monitors, the hitters are now darting across the foyer and coming up the left and right hand stairs.

Three of them are already huddled outside the door, around the corpse of Chi-Chi, motioning to-each other, laying a grenade at the base of the door to blow it out.

Tony loading his rocket, ihtends to beat them to the punch, talking to himself.

TONY
So you wanna play hunh, say hello {X} to my little friend here.

Karroooomph!

The rocket tears down the door and blows the Columbian punks off the landing into the foyer. It sounds like

Armageddon, one of the hitters screaming, smoke billowing wildly.

Tony, at the height of his mad glory, steps out at the apex of the stairs, firing his machine gun and yelling.

Another hitter tumbles down the right-hand stair.

TONY
Who you think I am? JI kill all you fuckin' assholes. I take you all to fuckin' hell!

Left. Right

Another hitter drops, screaming, off the stairs into the pool below.

A grenade goes off. Tony is hit again, but keeps on firing away. Laughing like a madman.

TONY
You need an army you hear! An army to kill me!

Behind him we see the remainder of the pound of cocaine go up in a burst of wind, whipping around the office in auras of white. It is a ghostly effect out of which now appears the face of the Skull moving from the terrace towards Tony's back with a sawed-off shotgun.

TONY
Ha ha ha ha ha! You whores, you scum, I piss in your faces !!!! Ha

ha ha ha ha!!

The Skull, now inches from Tony's back, pulls the trigger and blows Tony's spine out his belly.

Tony crashes forward over the bannister into the interior swimming pool below.

He floats quietly face down in the lit blue waters.

As the titles begin their crawl up, the music theme is expressive salsa with a dash of gaiety.

The camera moving off Tony to catch the reflection of the lit sculpture on the surface of the still waters. It says:

"THE WORLD IS YOURS"

And so, for the brief moment, it was.

wealth, past the hitters pillaging and looting and drawing

that obscene word "Chivato" in blood on the outside walls,

past the stacks of cash blowing across the floor like

leaves in autumn, with the looters running after it across

the busted door with the tropic wind blowing down Coconut
