Burning Bridges

Burning Bridges is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given by the Mendez brothers in Prawn Island, Vice City.

Mission
Lance and Victor Vance drop-by Mendez's mansion. The Mendez brothers are happy and tell them that they are "finished". Armando Mendez tells them that the Vance brothers are free and in return must leave town and give the Mendez's control of all their interests. The Vance's refuse and are attacked by henchman. After a short moment they wake up in Viceport in the middle of a place full of explosive tankers containing oil. Three Mendez goons arrive and shoot at them but Victor and Lance both jump away and the Mendez goon accidentally shoots the velvet of a tanker and is caught in fire, and dies. Lance is trapped behind the places and Victor has to save him before the tankers all explode. Victor has actually lost his weapons but they are hidden behind a Sentinel outside. Victor makes his way and kills any henchman attacking him, he shoots three velvets and jumps on a PCJ-600 parked there and along with Lance makes his way out just as the oil tankers all explode. They split out and now the Mendez Cartel are enemies of the Vance Crime Family.

Script
(Victor, Lance Vance, Armando and Diego Mendez at Mendez Mansion.)

Armando Mendez: The rear guard advances, unstoppable. So, you are finished, Diego - they are finished

Diego Mendez: Buenos.

Armando Mendez: ...And none of us dead. The civilized life of gentleman - we have our money, so you are free! You must leave town of course and give us control of your other interests. But you, your families, no one will die. This is fair!

Lance Vance: Fair? Oh yeah - If you think getting screwed in the ass, then getting paid for it is fair. Then it sounds like a great deal.

Armando Mendez: I find your attitude and your language terribly distasteful. Maricon.

Victor Vance: Hold on, now, hey, listen - Mr. Mendez, I, WE have done a lot of things for you. We kept the end of our barging and now you want us give up our interests?

Armando Mendez: You came to my town, you run around like a maniac. You bring the police and the DEA into my life, and now I want you gone.

Victor Vance: Hey, I made a ton of money for you, money I didn't lose.

Armando Mendez: And now your done. You're obsolete.

Lance Vance: ARRRGGGHH. Look out Vic - the mute.

(Victor and Lance wake up at Viceport, Mendez goons arrive.)

Victor Vance: Arghhh, where are we?

Lance Vance: No place good, I think we outlived our usefulness to the Mendez's.

Mendez goon #1: YOU! Shut up!

Mendez goon #2: Hey, they're waking up - let's get this done quick!

Lance Vance: Screw this!

'''Mendez goon #3: DIE! [goes up in flames.] ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!

Lance Vance: VIC! I'M TRAPPED - GET ME OUT OF HERE! I'm not supposed to die like this.

(Victor shoots all the velvets and escapes with Lance.)

Lance Vance: Come on man! Let's go. WOOO-HEEEE, now that's what I'm talking about!

(Victor and Lance escape the explosion.)

Victor Vance: Great, now we're at war with the Mendez brothers.

Lance Vance: It's all cool, bro. I'm a man with a plan. Just give me a little time.
