Pegorino: Not you as well. Tell me it ain't you as well, you Slavic fuck!

Niko: What are you talking about?

Pegorino: Speak, you Balkan piece of shit - I'm done with you, done with everyone. I'll go, but I ain't going quietly.

Niko: Mr. Pegorino, I don't know what you're talking about. I came as quickly as I could.

Pegorino: Fucking Anthony!

Niko: What about Anthony?

Pegorino: He was wearing a fucking wire!

Niko: That is a problem.

Pegorino: My personal bodyguard wearing a wire! I raised that kid like he was my own. I beat him like he was my own son! When my son killed himself, Anthony became my son. Now this? The world is a cunt!

Niko: Where is Anthony?

Pegorino: I heard he's wearing a wire, so I freak out... I call him up... he's such a moron, he leaves his cell phone on, so we speak. After he's gone state's of course... I mean, Jesus, what a chump. He freaks out on the phone, and I put the fear of God in him. I think maybe I've talked him out of it... then he has a Goddamn heart attack on the phone. I'm thinking problem solved - he's dying right in front of my ears. But the asshole lived and now he's in the Leftwood hospital under heavy guard.

Niko: Okay, okay.

Pegorino: Of course, he's got you on the fuckin' tape too.

Niko: Of course.

Pegorino: So you'll do this for me?

Niko: So you want me to talk to him?

Pegorino: I want you to whack him. And after that I want you to kill all the other rats I surround myself with...

Niko: Okay, okay. Don't worry.
