Niko: This guy called Ray Boccino has had me working with this guy from the Lost biker gang called Johnny. Running around after these diamonds he stole. It's been a fucking hassle and all for nothing.

Roman: The Lost? Those guys are meant to be really dangerous, cousin. I heard there was a war or something on between the Lost and the Angels of Death. You don't want to get caught up in that shit. Take your cut of the diamonds and get out of there.

Niko: There is no cut of the diamonds. The ice got jacked when we tried to sell them. This Dominican looking guy shot the place up.

[[classic swim]]

Ray: Nicky tells me you got away with the money. Bring it to me.

Johnny: Niko said that? Dude, that's weird. Shit was kickin’ off. I don't know what happened to the money.

Ray: You better not be pulling nothing, Johnny. Or I'll start pulling your fuckin’ teeth! You hear me?!

Johnny: I like you, Ray. Still keep your sense of humor in the face of an almighty fuck up. See you ‘round.
