The Teachings Of Mama Montana

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2019)

When you raise kids, you notice that the most critical issues do not lie with education, but within the influence of the community. Mama Montana is an admirable mother who has Values, Principles and Ideals and fights for them. She is an honest worker and her teaching about ugly money that stinks is the best kind of education parents can give to their children:
"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!"
