Catalina: Open the backroom door or I blow your fucking face off! Leave the panic button or I'll kill your children too!

(The cashier hits the panic button and an alarm goes off.)

Catalina: I warned you, you stupid bitch! Stupid fucking bitch! Now I'll kill you, eat my shit. Carl, c'mon, stop playing with your balls and hurry up!

(Catalina fires the gun towards the employee, who is unharmed due to bullet-proof glass. Catalina then kills one of the customers. Carl then uses the satchel charges to blow up the door and then the safe.)

CJ: OK, I got it!

Catalina: About fucking time, you're a fucking sloth!

CJ: Whatever. Let's roll!

(Carl and Catalina get out of the betting shop.)

Catalina: Get in the fucking car!

(Catalina and Carl evade the police and return to Catalina's hideout.)

Trivia

This is the only major storyline mission in which a wanted level higher than 3 stars is assigned by default when committing a crime. All other missions where a wanted level is assigned usually deal with a 2-star or 3-star wanted level, and in very rare cases, a 1-star wanted level.
This is the only mission, apart from the final trucking side mission, to warrant a 4-star wanted level.
Catalina's dialogue, "Get in the fucking car", contains a possible reference to a similar dialogue used by Bowser which is often repeated in spoof videos and bloopers in the Super Mario Bros. game series.
