"In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women."
— Tony Montana
In This Country You Gotta Make
In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.
About this quote
Tony Montana (played by Al Pacino) lays out his philosophy of ambition early in Scarface (1983), directed by Brian De Palma. Speaking to his friend Manny, Tony articulates the ruthless hierarchy he intends to climb as a Cuban immigrant in Miami. The line became an enduring mantra in popular culture, frequently quoted in music, sports, and business contexts as a statement on the relationship between wealth and power.
