Yusuf: Don't judge a book by its cover, father. That's what you taught me.

Roman: We're going to make it big, cousin!

Niko: Are we?

Roman: We are.

[[classic swim]]

Niko: What's that? What's big?

Roman: What I've been saying ever since I started sending you emails. We're going to be on top. Fast cars, Jacuzzis, hot women, we're going to have everything we could ever dream of. I can feel it. The cousins Bellic. On top of the world!

Timur: You put people in the ground, my friend. You killer like me. That what Bulgarin want you to do, so that what you do. Hospitality is for weaklings.

Luis: You're hard work, bro.

Timur: Fuck you. You are hard work. Don't even know what you are.

Timur: You kill Ashvilli, send message and leave building. I pick you up on ground.

The one successful Pegorino racket still doing business would be Honkers.

The club’s success mainly being attributed to Phil Bell managing it.

[[classic swim]]

Niko: He's a slimeball, but he pays.

Phil: Listen to me... the thing about Ray is he's a good earner. He talks a lot of shit, but he's a good earner, capiche?

Niko: He's a rat, doing an impression of man.

[[classic swim]]

Niko: I don't know if anyone would give away a load of coke without asking any questions. Even Russian coke runners ain't that stupid.

Phil: Yeah, sure, this is just plan A. It's the one Jimmy P worked out. You and me know it ain't gonna work. And that the only way we're gonna be able to leave that place with the sugar is if all the Russians in there are dead.

[[classic swim]]

Phil: You're gonna learn that there ain't much in this life that you got control of. Whether you're putting yourself in harm's way because that's the way the Skipper wants it done, or you're staying away from your kids because of a stupid court order and a malicious bitch of an ex-wife. There ain't that much control in anything.

Niko: I been around long enough to know that there is some things that we don't have a choice about, but there's other times where you got to look at something and make a decision for yourself. I can't follow every order I'm given.

Rascalov had connections in Florida. Could be Vercetti, most Vice City coke barons were said to be ruined at this time from everyone doing meth instead.

Ancelottis needed Dimitri for this coke since they remember what happened to Sonny Forelli. Niko & Phil leave no survivors and rush with the yayo.

- Trespass. • 2008

Phil: Alright, now the way I sees it, there's two ways it can go down. You burst in the front and hit them in the face with everything you got. Otherwise... you slip around the back, go in through the basement, and fuck them up their asses.

Phil: This ain't a fucking joke. You got a wife, you got a ma, don't play around with your life.

Frankie: Alright guys, shit. I'm sorry.

[[classic swim]]

Luis: Yeah, what's up. I'm here.

Bulgarin: Ah, yeah okay. You are in position. Do you see a box in front of you?

[[classic swim]]

Bulgarin: Have you... opened it yet?

[[classic swim]]

Bulgarin: ...I believe you partnered with him in a diamond deal.

[[classic swim]]

Luis: Yo, what the fuck? Is that the guy we bought the ice from?

Bulgarin: You colluded with him to steal from me.

- In The Crosshairs. • 2008

The diamonds Liberty City’s most hardened criminals have spent the past months playing hot potato with belonged to Ray Bulgarin.

Russian’s got it in his head that Luis knew or care of the rocks origins... making Lopez a higher priority on Bulgarin’s hitlist than Niko.

[[classic swim]]

Luis: He cut that cook's head off. Long story short he wants us dead.

Tony: Poor old chef. What were you doing talking to these guys without me, Lou?

[[classic swim]]

Bulgarin: You and your f***’t boss will be killed for this. I will do everything in my power to-

Luis: Shit, I think the signal's dropping, man. Later, bro.

Luis: You walked in with one, bro.

Roman: What?

[[classic swim]]

Brucie: Y’know, you're a lot like me...yeah. That's right you're like a lone wolf. An adventurer.
