Brucie: I'd love to eat with your ass, bro. Not your ass, with your ass.

Derrick: ...Aiden O'Malley.

Niko: What about Aiden O'Malley?

[[classic swim]]

Packie: O'Malley is in government custody. He's got more police protection than the mayor.

Under the condition that O’Malley must be killed discreetly for Derrick in Alderney.

Packie: Derrick was a grass. In England. He was involved in that business, and he grasses on some people to avoid doing some serious time. And then went into hiding, for years.

Niko: I did not know that.

Packie: No. He spun it different, but that was the truth. A grass, to avoid doing time.

[[classic swim]]

Packie: We're doing this on behalf of an old acquaintance of yours.

Aiden: I knew I wasn't forgotten about. I knew that no matter how long I rotted in there, people on the outside world still remember me.

Packie: People remember you, alright. You're at the front of certain people's minds.

[[classic swim]]

Aiden: Derrick? But he ratted me out. He's the reason I ended up in that place to start with.

[[classic swim]]

[[classic swim]]

Derrick: That's the end of a chapter. I can close the book on a whole lot of my past now, Niko. Thanks. Maybe a clean break is in order. A fresh beginning.

[[classic swim]]

[[classic swim]]

Francis: Whatever he stood for, he betrayed. He only left here in the first place because he was caught stealing... from the Mafia!

[[classic swim]]

Niko: Fuck you.

Francis: No, fuck you, pal. I'm going to meet him in the courtyard park off Bismark in Lancet. Deal with him. Make him a tragedy, not a disaster. Do it, or I will put you away.

[[classic swim]]

Francis: Get in position and put Derrick out of his misery. Shit, I better get ready to act surprised. Don't miss, Niko! You might hit me.

Niko: I'll hit who I'm aiming at, don't worry.

- Blood Brothers. • 2008

The time has come to choose between the lives of an aspiring Police Commissioner (corrupt and nasty to the core, but pays well), and a crook who ratted on his friends in Ireland to support his heroin habit...

One McReary brother hits the ground.

[[classic swim]]

Niko: I'm not so sure about it.

Francis: What's going to make you sure? You want me to give you a raise?

Niko: That might help.

Francis: Alright then, call it a bonus. Make this happen.

[[classic swim]]

- Blood Brothers (cont...) • 2008

Niko kills Francis anyway.

Turns out 20K wasn’t enough from a bent cop who’s only threatened and blackmailed Bellic this entire time, and maybe doesn’t deserve too much power.

No. Instead, Niko made the call just to see Francis squirm one last time.

- - - -

Derrick McReary was no threat to Niko or Packie, and would destroy himself on his own.

[[classic swim]]

Derrick: Shit, you did it. A bolt of lightning from outta the fuckin’ blue. I really got the feeling it was him or me back there.

Niko: You don't know the half.

[[classic swim]]

Packie: There's one less cop on the streets of Liberty City.

Niko: What do you mean, Packie?

Packie: I mean that my cop brother Francis McReary is no longer with us.

Niko: You and Gerry must be very upset.

Packie: Hardly - couldn't stand the bastard myself.

[[classic swim]]

Kate: To be honest, I thought this would have happened earlier. Then again, I expect to get a call from the coroner about any one of my brothers every day.

[[classic swim]]

[[classic swim]]

[[classic swim]]

Niko: I'm sorry for your loss.

Kate: I'm not. I'm sorry for Ma.

[[classic swim]]

- Undertaker. • 2008

Albanians pissed with Gerald & Derrick’s shenanigans cause a shootout during Francis McReary’s funeral.

Niko fights them off with Packie and escapes to the burial plot in Colony Island.

[[classic swim]]

Packie: Can't we call for backup or something?

Niko: Are you suggesting that I'm a fucking cop? I thought that you would know better than that.

Packie: No, you dumb European fuck, I meant my brother, Francis. It was a joke.

Niko: Hell of a fucking time to be making jokes about your dead brother.

Packie: You know, I'm still not that fond of the guy, even in death.

... • 2008

Ashley’s fucking Ray Boccino. Johnny acts like it don’t bother him, although it very much does.

No matter how polite Ray tried to be, Johnny just saw another Billy. Another slimy fuck trying to play him for a fiddle.

... • 2008

Just a block from Drusilla’s in Little Italy/St. Mark’s would be Gay Tony’s place.

Luis has had to deal with routine Ancelotti BS, along with worthless Evan. Doesn’t help that his boss can barely keep off the powder for one second. 

[[classic swim]]

Ray: Ashley, uh... good kid. Y'know, man, that ice. In my day, it was coke and downers. That was it. I even missed the Ecstasy. That shit fucks people up.

[[classic swim]]

Gracie Ancelotti: ...WHAT is wrong with you? Man, you are ruining my buzz, Luis.

[[classic swim]]

Ray: Okay, I know about some diamonds...couple o’ millions worth. The ice’s being held by a guy named Gay Tony.

“Johnny! Don’t get too clever.” - Ray Boccino

[[classic swim]]

[[classic swim]]

“Whatever, bitch.” - Evan Moss

[[classic swim]]

Johnny: Brother James. We got a hook up in Broker. Might need some help.

Jim: Alright, man. I'll let The Lost Brotherhood over there know you're comin'. They like getting as dirty as the rest of us.

[[classic swim]]

Evan: I mean, how much information are you privy to? You're just the fucking driver, after all.

Luis: I'm privy enough to know that you're a piece of shit who's using Tony. I'm privy to the fact that the coke in your nose and the 'roids in your veins are gonna send you worse out of control real soon. I'm privy to the fact that you gonna be some fat trailer park queen in the Midwest before you hit thirty. Now, tell me what the FUCK we doing right now!

[[classic swim]]

Johnny: All I know is that these diamonds are being held by a man about town called Tony Prince, and we’re to take ‘em. Should be a good profit in it for The Lost MC if this comes through. So let's fuckin' do it!

[[classic swim]]

Johnny: And who knows? Maybe down the line, there'll be an opportunity to rip off the smug guido who gave us the job in the first place. Come on! Brothers for life, Lost forever.

[[classic swim]]

“They're great. But, err, two million? You had your head in the oven?” - Gay Tony

[[classic swim]]

Cook: Mr. Tony, I have what I tell you, perfect clarity, beautiful, clarity, well cut, and shit load of carats. What do you expect?

[[classic swim]]

[[classic swim]]

Luis: Come on, can we do the hand off please and get out of here? This is too much.

Tony: Oh, ignore him. He's probably been up all night with some bimbo.

[[classic swim]]

[[classic swim]]

Luis: Oh shit, Tony! We're outta here! C'mon, let's go! Evan, take them to the club and don't fuck about, okay?!
