Scarface Page #6

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

Tony isn't here.

He's out of town.

You're telling me?

Why did you hang up

when I called yesterday?

Too busy.

The one on the end's

kind of cute.

She ain't bad.

I should think you'd want

something more like...

Like what?

Me.

Cut out

that sort of talk.

You're only a kid.

I told you I had

grown-up ideas.

You're like Tony when you

go after something, hey?

What would Tony say?

He'll be away for a month.

The big fella's

on his way from Florida.

Uh-huh. Well,

he better watch his step.

This town's entirely different

than when he left it.

That new crowd down at the

city hall is looking for him.

The first crack he makes,

they'll climb all over him.

Hand it to Hap. Tell him to

play it for what it's worth.

Hey. You stay out here.

Tony.

Where's Cesca?

She got a place of her own. She say to

me, " Shut up. Mind-a your business. "

Well, is she livin' alone?

Yeah.

All-a the time

that what she tell me.

But one day I follow her. She meet

a man. They go in the house together.

I look and I see her name

under the push bell.

See? See what you do? Once I

have a son, I have a daughter...

Shhh.

Where is the place

she live?

236 Central Street.

What you gonna do?

What you... No, no, Tony!

Stop!

Central Street.

He was goin' downgrade

makin' 90 miles an hour

When his whistle

broke into a scream

And they found him

in the wreck

With his hands

on the throttle

Scalded to death

by the steam

It's a mighty rough road

from Lynchburg to Danville

And the track's

on the three-mile grade

It was on this road

that he lost his air brakes

You can see

what a jump he made

Hello.

Hello, baby.

I'm so happy.

You're telling me?

You do love me,

don't you, Guino?

You know I do.

Never stop telling me,

will you?

I'm not like

all the others, am I?

You're up there

all by yourself, sweetheart.

We'll always

be happy, won't we?

Hello, Tony.

Tony, I...

Tony, don't! Tony!

Guino! Guino!

Guino, speak to me!

Speak to me!

Guino, say something!

Guino!

Tony, he's my Guino!

I love him.

We were married yesterday, Tony!

Really married!

We were going to surprise you.

Weren't we, Guino?

Oh, darling, speak to me!

He's dead.

He loved me,

really loved me.

Don't touch me!

Don't come near me!

Stay away from me!

You're not my brother!

Don't you think I know?

Murderer!

He kills people!

He kills everybody!

He kills everything!

He's a butcher.

That's what you are.

You're a butcher!

You're a butcher!

Drive down to the house.

Come on, boss.

Go on, beat it!

Get outta here!

Come on! Come on!

This Mr. Camonte's secre...

You'll have to speak loud.

I can't hear you.

It's... It's Poppy, boss.

I- I got her name.
