Transcript
Mike and his friend Vinnie, are discussing their plan to leave Liberty City for good.
Vinnie: This is our big chance, Mike. We've almost got enough money to leave Liberty City for good. I'm tired of playing errand boy. We need to strike off on our own and lead the good life.
Mike: I've got your back, Vinnie. You got me off the streets and back on my feet.
Vinnie: I knew I could count on you. We don't owe nobody nothing and the police aren't on to us. It's time to make a new start.
Vinnie asks Mike to drive him to a meeting.
Vinnie: Hey Mike, you drive. I gotta get my head together for this meeting with the Mafia.
Mike: Vinnie, I thought you said we were done with these crooks. Let's just take our chances with the money we've got and make our break.
Vinnie: Hey, you trust me right? I've got information they need. Support me on this, and we'll be a whole lot richer and off this stinkin' island in no time.
Mike and Vinnie gets in the car.
Vinnie: The restaurant is on Portland Beach. Should be real easy to spot, too.
Mike and Vinnie arrives at the restaurant.
Vinnie: Check our hideout to make sure it's not being watched. Nothing's wrong but you can never be too sure with these guys. Come back to the restaurant and pick me up when you know it's clear.
Mike arrives at the hideout.
Mike: Things look good out front, I'd better check inside.
