• Mama Montana : Son? I wish I had one! He's a bum! He was a bum then and he's a bum now! Who do you think you are, hm? We haven't heard a word from you in five years. Cinco anos. You suddenly show up here and you throw money at us? You think you can *buy* me with your money?

  Tony Montana : Come on, mama.

  Mama Montana : You think you can come in here with your hot-shot clothes and make fun of us?

  Tony Montana : Mama, you don't know what you're talking about.

  Mama Montana : No that is NOT the way I am, Antonio! That is *not* the way I raised Gina to be. You are not going to destroy her. I don't need your money. Gracias! I work for my living. *I don't want you in this house anymore!* I don't want you around Gina! So come on, get out! And take this lousy money with you! It stinks!

• Mama Montana : [55:03]  You know, all I read about in the papers, is animals like you. And the killings. It's Cubans like you who are giving a bad name to our people. People who come here & work hard and make a good name for themselves. People who send their children to school!

  Mama Montana : Son? I have no son. I wish I had one.
