Say hello to Scarface's most interesting facts

[post_page_title]No adlibbing on set, please[/post_page_title]
Despite the off-the-cuff, spontaneous nature of the dialogue, almost everything you see on screen was scripted, up to and including Pacino’s famous “Say hello to my little friend.” That doesn’t mean that he didn’t get any freedom to express himself, however. The term “yayo” for example, as slang for illegal substances was improvised. Another scene, in which he snatches Elvira’s hat, who then reacts with amusement, was adlibbed and kept in the film because director Brian De Palma felt it showed how she was slowly warming up to Tony.
