Luca Silvestri

Luca: Do you know how pissed Ray would get if he found out some diamonds were missing?

Niko: He has a temper?

Luca: Are you fuckin' kiddin' me? One of his depot managers was hobbling out on funds last year, Ray fed him to a dump truck. There was this point where the sounds of his screams stopped, and all you could hear was his bones crushin', and the pop of his skull goin'. I nearly lost my lunch.

Niko: Nice...
