The Pick-Up

The Pick-Up is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Leone Family Caporegime Toni Cipriani from his mother's restaurant in the Saint Mark's district of Portland Island, Liberty City.

Mission
Claude goes to Momma's Restaurante and reads a note left by Toni, with Toni requesting that Claude pick up the protection money from Mr. Wong's Laundromat. Toni says that the money is in a briefcase being the laundromat in Chinatown, but warns that the Triads may attack. Claude drives to the alley behind the laundromat and collects the briefcase, before the Triads ambush him, with Claude managing to kill all the Triads and escape back to Momma's Restaurante with the money.

Script
Ma Cipriani: Toni's off making people bleed, or trying to. He'll never be as tough as his Pop, but he left you a note on the table.

Toni Cipriani (voice only): The laundry has agreed to pay - you did real good kid! Go collect the cash and bring it back here. Watch out for the Triads. They may be shoving a firecracker up your ass, but don't take no crap. Nobody I mean nobody, messes with TONI KIPRIANI!

Reward
The reward for completing the mission is $10,000. The mission Salvatore's Called A Meeting is unlocked. The Triads are now hostile towards Claude if the player has not completed El Burro's mission Trial By Fire.

Trivia
Toni refers to himself as Toni Kipriani yet in Cipriani's Chauffeur, he addresses himself correctly as Toni Sipriani.
