Scarface

One of these days, I think I should go back and watch a particular scene in Scarface (Al Pacino, 1983). Bloody movie. No, I mean it -- literally. Even had a chainsaw murder. Al Pacino plays the part of Tony Montana. Pacino looks young back then. What am I saying? He was young back then. Wikipedia:

Tony Montana is the main character... of the movie Scarface, played by Al Pacino. ...is a Cuban refugee... who quickly enters a life of crime and undergoes a meteoric rise to the top of the Miami crime world before an equally meteoric fall.
There's this scene towards the end of the movie -- Tony and wife causes 'scene' in a high class restaurant (actually wife yells at Tony. Tony's drunk, or high or whatever). Lots of well dressed and proper looking customers wearing looks of shock. On is stumbling exit, Tony says to them:

What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!
