“After you walk into a village, and you see fifty children, all sitting neatly in a row against the church wall, each with their throats cut and their hands chopped off... you realize that the creature that could do this... doesn't have a soul.” - Niko Bellic

Ilyena: And you don’t worry about your soul?

... • 2008 Ilyena Faustin is abused by husband Mikhail on a regular basis. It’s a horrible life. The interior of their home says nothing but depression. She cries like a child everyday, her and her daughter senselessly bullied by a drug crazed shell of a man. Ilyena looks at Niko and sees someone capable of having a heart. Someone more capable of good than he thinks...

Roman: Niko, my friend Brucie has a business proposition for us. Niko: He’s going to pay me to pump him full of steroids and tell him how great his abs are?

Phone battery constantly eating shit and I’m just over it. Was like that before the cold. Takes like an hour to get to 100 or even 80%, uncharge it and the motherfucker depletes itself to death in 20 minutes tops.

I’d pay a woman to stick her face in Gemini’s beefy fucking armpits that smell like Hardee’s ketchup.

Johnny: You’ve lost your fuckin’ mind...

“Okay boys, the time for pussy licking and ass kissing is over. We are brothers for life. Lost forever. In these perilous times, it's more important than ever that you follow your leader.” - Billy Grey

Billy: I think he was a Serb, Brian. Brian: Fuckin’ Slav scumbag all the fucking sa- Billy: Shut the fuck up!
