Niko: You ever wonder if things are just coincidence, or if everything is all planned? Roman: You mean like when you sleep with two girls on one night and they turn out to be mother and daughter? Niko: I mean like this Dominican looking guy shot up a deal I was trying to make. Then, I've kidnapped this girl and we're handing her over for these same diamonds and this Dominican looking guy is there again. Roman: So, he steals the diamonds at the deal and then has to give them back for the girl. What's the big deal? It's not as much of a coincidence as the mother and daughter. Niko: Thanks, for putting things in perspective, Roman.

Dimitri: I cannot believe that you would steal from my friend Ray Bulgarin twice. First in Europe. And then these diamonds in Liberty City. You are in debt to him, Niko. Why don't you just pay him what you owe and we can all get along? Niko: I have no debts to Bulgarin, Dimitri. And the only thing I owe you is a bullet through the temple. You will be paid in full, fear not. Dimitri: You have a sharp tongue, Niko. It is only a matter of time before it is cut out of your mouth. Goodbye.

Packie: Well, Niko. That was a whole load of effort for no fucking reward.

Niko: The only thing that makes me smile about this shit is that Bulgarin does not have the ice. Piece of shit does not even stay at a fight to see the outcome. Just leaves his boys to clear up. Packie: We was outnumbered, Niko. I can see how he thought it was covered. Niko: Hopefully one day I will be able to teach him his lesson by putting a bullet though the back of his head. Packie: You're not meant to say what you wish for out loud. It won't come true if you do. That rule even works for wishes as cheerful as yours.

Niko: Our paths crossed back when I was living in Hove Beach as well. My cousin and I moved up to Bohan to get away from him and another man called Dimitri Rascalov. Packie: That's a real shame, I can see you fitting right in down in Hove Beach, Niko. Probably a good thing you got out though. Wouldn't a met me if you'd stayed, would ya? Niko: When you put it like this, I'm one lucky motherfucker, Packie.

Niko: Me and some biker had to try to sell them to a diamond dealer and it turns into a blood bath. That was when those friends of Gracie's must have gotten them. Packie: Stole 'em from you, did they? Niko: No, they stole them from the guys I sold them to. Shit, these diamonds have been trouble since Ray first made me take them out of a trash can for him. It’s good they are on their way to a landfill somewhere. Best place for them.

- Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend (cont...) • 2008 The bittersweet end of the Diamond arc. A couple million worth of crystals, having slain and destroyed a torrent of lives with its possession... was making its way to the trash.

Packie: You selfish piece of cocksucking shit!

Thug: I'm screwed either way. If I don't give you the diamonds, you kill me here and you take 'em. I do give you the diamonds, Mr. Bulgarin kills me later. Don't nobody having them. Screw all of you!

Gracie: You and Tony are fucking pussies. I'm gonna make sure my dad fucking has your ba- *pop* Tony: Hey there, muscles, no need to hit a lady.

Packie: Nicely done, Niko. We fucking got ‘em.

- Ladies Half Price (cont...) • 2008 Luis & Gay Tony got away from Bulgarin’s guys barely at the nick of time. Normal girls in this situation would be relieved, or even traumatized. Gracie just wanted her kidnappers dead. A true Ancelotti.

- Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend. • 2008 Chaos ensues at the Charge Island water plant. Niko & Packie pick off an obscene amount of Bulgarin henchmen, with the hopes of grabbing the diamonds lost in the line of fire.

Niko: I have never stolen anything from you, Mr. Bulgarin. Bulgarin: These men. The big f***’t and his Dominican bitch, they stole my diamonds. And you have been trying to rob the thieves. To rob me.

Gracie Ancelotti: Why didn’t you fucking kill them, you fucking nothing?

Ray Bulgarin: Niko Bellic. How is it that whenever something is stolen from me, you are not far away?

Niko: ...Let her go.

Niko: Sure. Show us the goods.

Luis: Oye. We put the ice in the middle. We walk back. Then, you send over the girl. We leave, and you pick up the stuff. Entiende?

Packie: She can’t speak, we got a gag in her mouth.
