Nobody fucks with Tony Montana


I saw Peter O’Toole once. He was playing in “Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell”. Aunty Gill (aka Aunty Jill) and I waited at the stage exit for him after the play. Impatient, Aunty Jill ventured inside to find him, and soon came running outside screaming “Dominic, do you have a pen?”, followed by the man himself. Talk about presence. At the same time, at the end of the alley, a man was screaming, “You wanna fuck with Tony Montana? NOBODY fucks with Tony Montana!” Mr O’Toole looked up quickly and, making sure it wasn’t anything to do with him, resumed his previous cool.
That’s it. Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell, Peter O’Toole is cool, nobody fucks with Tony Montana. These are the rules, and I never forgot them.
