Mel Bernstein is a crooked cop in the film Scarface. When he meets Tony at the Babylon Club, he tells him that he will be arrested for the murder of Rebenga as well as for the blood bath at the Sun Ray Hotel, unless Tony pays him a monthly unmentioned amount of bribe money, which Mel shows to Tony on a napkin. He asks Tony if he knew how it worked? Bernstein explains to Tony what the monthly amount will do for Tony's business. Bernstein alternates his threats with promises to arrest small-time rival drug dealers.
