Niko: I should’ve put you out of your misery a long time ago. Goodbye, Dimitri.

“I’ve never been popular. I don’t mean to start now.” - Niko Bellic

Niko: You're about to learn a lesson, actions have consequences. You screwed me over, now you're paying for it. Shame that'll be the second last thing that goes into your head. Goodbye. Dimitri: You're the one who's going to learn a lesson. People aren't going to be happy if you kill me.

Dimitri: Niko, it's been a long time. I thought your time in America might have calmed you down. Niko: America does not change everyone. Look at you. You arrived in this country a spineless rat who would sell out his friends. That is what you will be when you die here.

- A Dish Served Cold. • 2008 Niko returned to the Platypus ship he arrived to Liberty City in months ago to eliminate Dimitri once and for all. Rascalov in the middle of offloading heroin could not escape Niko this time.

Kate: I'm not going to respect you if you compromise what you believe in for money, Niko. Goodbye.

Niko: Now that I know where Dimitri is, I might just go there and take him out instead. Have you forgotten that he burnt down your apartment and business, that he arranged your kidnapping? Roman: Now I have a better apartment, and I'll have an even better one if you work with him again. Promise me you won't do anything hasty, cousin.

Jimmy: ......... Look, Phil will look after you.

Pegorino: This is real. I need you. Niko: Real? What the fuck is real? Real because it's you?

- One Last Thing. • 2008 Pegorino had something to discuss over at Honker’s, but it was no longer Niko’s care or concern. The war criminal responsible for lifelong trauma was dead. Niko Bellic wasn’t sure what he was anymore, but he’s answering only to himself now.

Roman: Maybe now that you know that revenge is not what you are after, you can look for fulfillment in other places. Healthy ones.

Niko: You piece of shit! That was for everyone. That was for me. Roman: Okay, Niko. It's over. It's all over now.

Darko: Thank you.

Niko: You killed my friends for one thousand dollars... Darko: How much do you charge to kill someone?

“I’M the one, who survived.” - Niko Bellic

Niko: This is all that is left of me. What am I good at, Roman? What is my trade? I deal in death because that is all that is open to me. Roman: I will tell you what you are good at, Niko. You are a good cousin and a good friend. You still have integrity. No matter what you say, there is humanity in you. You still have the power to be good. It's important that you believe that.

Niko: In some way, our friends from the village were lucky. I lost myself that day too. Everything that was good and innocent in me died along with them. If I could live those hours again, I think I would have preferred to be buried in the pit along with everyone else.
