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.

- Ladies Half Price. • 2008 Luis Lopez was forced to play along with Niko Bellic & Packie McReary if he wanted his Ancelotti problem temporarily resolved + the weight of having the diamonds off his shoulders.

Tony: Either we give them to the Russian, and Ancelotti kills us. Or we give them over to the kidnappers. Gracie lives, and we take our chances with the Russian. Luis: Alright, man. Sounds like you got everything figured out. Tony: I got nothing figured out. Half the city wants to kill me, but they'll be lucky if they can get a chance before I die of a heart attack! Luis: Easy, Tone.
