Reign in hell > serve in heaven? Hoowaa! It's a game of inches and you just cost me $6,000.

It seems to me that Pacino only takes on roles that allow him to have extended monologues somewhere near the end of the movie. Not only that, I think he gets it written into the contract that this monologue must include several fluctuations of octave and volume change. If the script does not include or leave room for yelling then Pacino is not your man.

Here are some of my favourite examples although there are many more in his repertoire.

Devil's Advocate

Scent of a Woman.

Any Given Sunday

Glengarry Glen Ross
