Dialogue

(Niko and Playboy leave)

Playboy X: We going to Castle Gardens. There's an alley we want to hit up just off the South Parkway. Alright, you heard of Yusuf Amir? Big real estate developer.

Niko: I don't know. I've heard a lot of names since I got here. This guy's a big developer? Are you and him having meetings about how to run the city?

Playboy X: Not yet, but I got an idea about how me and him can get friendly. Some Italian dudes has shut down his building site on some union bullshit. They all up in the place, strapped to their fronts with hardhats on and shit. Won't let nobody get near it.

Niko: What are you suggesting we do about it?

Playboy X: You gonna go in there and get them Mafia types off the site. Meantime, I'm gonna tell Yusuf how good we been to him. That car and me is going to be tight as two cellmates on lockdown after this.

Niko: What's in it for me?

Playboy X: I'll give you what you after. Cold hard cash. That what you chasing, right?

Niko: Amongst other things. I don't know how good your plan is though, Playboy. If I get rid of the guys on the site, then won't there be more? If it's a union problem, doesn't that make it bigger than a few guys with guns?

Playboy X: Shit, 'union' is just another word for Mafia. These cats is looking to squeeze our boy Amir for dollars just because he ain't from here. When we fuck their people up they'll realize that he ain't a cat to be messed with and they'll back off.

Niko: Okay?

Playboy X: Shit, Yusuf is from Dubai. He's an African, an he's coming' to Liberty City to make it big. It' my duty to watch this cat's back. My ancestors came from Africa, now he's coming out a bit later. Me and him could be cousins, shit.

Niko: I think you might want to look at a map, Playboy. Dubai isn't in Africa.

Playboy X: Shit, it all the same. Africa, America, Dubai. It don't matter, we're brothers, spiritually I Mean, and that's the important bit.

(Niko arrives at the car in Castle Gardens)

Playboy X: I left some heat for you in that car, money. You going to be strapped - sniper rifles, grenades, all that shit. Yo, there's three lookout cats making sure no one makes move on the site. You best take them out with the rifle before you hit up the rest of them. I'm gonna get into position where I can see all the shit going down. If you can take out the main cats then the rest of them shouldn't be a problem. When you in there, I'll give you the lowdown on where these main cats is at. You might be better seeing the lookouts from up here too, money. Shit, I needed to find a cat like you. A badass ma'fucker who ain't afraid to take fools down.

Niko: Yeah, well I need money so you're in luck.

Playboy X: You gonna kick some ass down there, boy. I'm backing you up.

(While on the window cleaning platform)

Niko: So, these things don't half go slowly, eh?

(Niko kills the lookouts)

Playboy X: That all them lookouts gone, money. Get in there and free up the site.

Niko: Later on. If you can't see anything else form up here, you'll see these grenades going off.
