"The World is Yours" is a dictum featured in the two Scarface films. In the 1932 version it is a neon sign in a Thomas Cook billboard. In the 1983 version it is featured as a message on a blimp as "THE WORLD IS YOURS...PAN AMERICAN" and later in the film Tony Montana has a globe with that phrase on it in the entrance hall of his mansion.
