(Niko and Pathos head towards the hospital)

Pathos: You gotta get me to the hospital before I bleed out up in here.

Niko: I've seen a few gunshot wounds and I think you're going to be okay.

Pathos: Shit, I better be. I ain't even begun to produce my best work.

Niko: Maybe some more people will pay attention to it now that you've got some scars?

Pathos: Hell, you right. I don't wanna go commercial or nothing, but I'm too intelligence to be missing out on a marketing opportunity like this. Once the people start to listen to the shit that I spit, they going to freak the fuck out. Perceptions will be altered, for real.

Niko: I'm sure.

Niko: Get yourself stitched up. Good luck, man.

Alternate dialogue

(Niko drives Pathos to the hospital)

Pathos: Yo son, take me to the hospital. I knew getting shot hurt and shit, but I had no idea. This is mad painful up in here. You ever been shot? I respect a man who can take the pain.

Niko: I respect the man who walks away from a fight without bullets in him.

Pathos: Yo, but we all need some scars and shit. We can only talk so much. We got to show people the struggle, man. Show my journey. Prove my suffering.

Niko: If that's something you feel you need to prove.

Pathos: Pathos don't need to prove nothing. His rhymes speak for themselves. It's just you need to get the rhymes out there. Make people listen in the first place. Blow them the fuck away.

Niko: Your wound might do the trick then.

Pathos: Just need to get my rhymes on the street. This could be the way. Damn it hurts though.
