Going Deep/Script

The following is a script of the mission Going Deep in The Ballad of Gay Tony.

Script

Luis: Yo. Mr. Bulgarin here?

Bulgarin: Double it! Offer twenty million and then we see if it is not for sale. If this painting is not hanging on my wall, your head will be. Okay? Think about that.

Timur: You want I should pay visit to his children at their school?

Bulgarin: Not yet - I think there is always a price in this city. Ah, Luis, excuse us. We have been rude.

Luis: Don't worry about it, man. I like the set up here.

Timur: These guitars are all collector's items - celebrity rock memorabilia.

Luis: Okay, man. Good for you. You got a nice place here, Mr. B.

Bulgarin: It is piece of shit. I bought it for my sister.

Galina: Hey! You bring me to this fucking country and you keep me in an ugly cage. No one on TV lives in fucking Dukes. Then you come and move all my stuff into hallway and fill place with fucking guitars.

Bulgarin: Shut up, bitch. Take your pills. A friend of mine is here.

Galina: Ha! You don't have any friends. You don't even have a business here. You are nothing in this country.

Bulgarin: My sister, she is still getting adjusted. We all are.

Luis: So, how can I help you?

Galina: Fuck you, Ray. You have ruined my life!

Bulgarin: Yes! Yes! A difficult situation. It seems I am being investigated by the National Office of Security Enforcement. There is a particular unit that has a "hard-on" for me. And why? Because Marki Ashvilli won't sell me The Rampage. You will get rid of them. I will own this fucking team.

Luis: Hey, the problem ain't just gonna disappear over here if we kill some crooked cops.

Bulgarin: Leave the strategizing to me. If the money tells you to cut your fucking legs off, you will do it. Because the money is better than a fucking leg. The money is making the plans. That's the American way.

Luis: Alright, man.

Bulgarin: Thank you. I like you. I make you rich. I make you man. Maybe I'll make you man with one leg, but I make you rich man with one leg. There is this team tracing a car of mine. Take out the whole team. No exceptions.

Luis: Okay, man, if that's what the money wants...

Bulgarin: You bright guy, Luis. I still like you. You made a good choice coming here. Fag man no good. Go. Roll the bitch!

Dialogue

Bulgarin: Take us to the basement parking lot, in the Middle Park East.

or:

Bulgarin: Go to the garage off Topaz Street.

Bulgarin: Here. You will need these sticky bombs for the party.

or:

Bulgarin: Here are some makeshift bombs. They will be useful.

Bulgarin: Take these sticky bombs, Luis. We will need them for our NOOSE friends.

(If Luis already has sticky bombs)

Luis: I ain't gonna take you up on the bomb offer 'cause I got my own, but I will take that Advanced MG you got there.

or:

Luis: Fuck that. I got explosives already. Hand over that MG of yours and I'm ready to go.

Luis: Don't worry, bro. I'm already packing some of my own.

Luis: I appreciate that, but I'll use my own hardware.

Luis: Thanks, bro, but I'm the kind of degenerate who carries his own bombs.

(If Luis doesn't have sticky bombs)

Luis: Gimme that Advanced MG you got there as well. I ain't taking no chances with the NOOSE.

or:

Luis: The NOOSE, bro? I'll need more than bombs. Gimme that machine gun you got there and I might just be ready.

Luis: Okay. Give them here. I'll need that Advanced MG too if I'm going to take on the NOOSE.

Bulgarin: It's good to have you with us, Luis.

Luis: Yeah?

Bulgarin: Yes. It must be nice for you to get out from under Big Tony.

Luis: I don't know what you're implying, bro. Tony and me are partners. I got a stake in the enterprise.

Bulgarin: A stake. Sure. You still take orders from him, don't you? You clean up his shit? Luis, you could be much more than that. Unless you enjoy working for such a man? 'Partner', or whatever you call it.

Luis: Really, bro? I don't know. When I was left to my own devices, I got locked up. At least with Tony's guidance, I ain't doing time.

Bulgarin: Perhaps. For now... perhaps. But do you think you are achieving everything you could? A man with your talents, in your condition, you could have anything you want. I didn't get to where I am without being able to see the worth of men.

Luis: That's real flattering, Mr. Bulgarin, but whatever it is you're offering, I'm gonna have to decline. Me and Tony's is a business relationship. He gets his kicks elsewhere, but he's been a good boss to me, and a good guide. Helped me out.

Bulgarin: I AM NOT A FUCKING FAGGOT.

Luis: Whatever you say, bro. But what are you talking about?

Bulgarin: I was saying that I may be interested in investing in your potential.

Luis: Potential as what?

Bulgarin: As a businessman. I am looking for someone here in Liberty City with the correct relationship.

Luis: I already got one employer. Like I said, he's been good to me.

Bulgarin: Of course. But what is he? He is a drug addict, a madman. You are useful to him, but you think that is all he wants from you? Hah! When some new muscle-bound pretty boy comes along, he will forget about you, and your precious stake in the Tony Prince empire.

Luis: Whatever, bro. Can we talk about something else? What am I doing here?

Bulgarin: You are helping me with my business.

Luis: This don't seem like legitimate business to me, man.

Bulgarin: Nothing can be achieved here in Liberty City with Ashvilli's pigs rooting through my affairs. For anything to happen, they must be eliminated.

Luis: Okay, man. You really can't buy these people off?

Bulgarin: Sometimes a price is more effective if paid out of lead, not gold. This is the first lesson I will give you.

Luis: Okay.

(Tony calls Luis)

Luis: Hey man, what's up?

Tony: What do you mean, "what's up"? Where are you?

Luis: Look, man I-I'm, taking care of some personal business. I'll come see you later, okay?

Tony: I'm cracking up here, Luis. Hurry the fuck up. How long are you going to be?

Luis: I dunno, man. I-I-I gotta go.

(Luis hangs up)

Bulgarin: Your master calls?

Luis: Yeah, man.

Bulgarin: I see. And does he know what you are here with us?

Luis: No.

Bulgarin: Interesting.

Luis: I guess so.

(Luis drives into the parking lot)

Bulgarin: Let's go in.

or:

Bulgarin: We need to go down into the lot.

Bulgarin: Go down into the garage.

(Luis drives into the garage)

Bulgarin: Park up this spot by the pillar.

or:

Bulgarin: Leave the car in this empty space over by the pillar.

Bulgarin: Park the car over there.

(Luis parks the car and the three exit)

Bulgarin: Place a bomb out of sight. We will hide here.

or:

Bulgarin: Make sure a bomb is well hidden. We shall be concealed here.

Bulgarin: We will conceal ourselves. Place a bomb where they will not see it.

(Luis plants a bomb on the car)

Bulgarin: Well placed. The bomb should prove quite a surprise for our friends.

or:

Bulgarin: Well done. It will be a treat for them.

Bulgarin: Good. Good. They should not see that until it's too late.

(Luis hides with Bulgarin and Timur)

Luis: These guys are all crooked, huh?

Bulgarin: Marki has this in his pockets. This NOOSE team is in charge of half the drugs running in the city. Do not let your conscience worry you.

or:

Bulgarin: Now, Luis, we see if you can handle yourself.

Luis: Don't worry about me. I'd prefer we weren't taking on the National Office of Security Enforcement, but that's a different matter.

Bulgarin: Things are about to get hot in here.

Luis: No doubt.

Luis: Timur, bro. You ain't talking much. Nervous?

Timur: Fuck you.

(The NOOSE arrive in the parking lot)

Bulgarin: This is them. Wait for it.

or:

Bulgarin: Be quiet. They are here.

Bulgarin: Shut up! They are coming.

NOOSE: That's the car. Get in and plant the evidence.

or:

NOOSE: Target sighted. Let's finish this and get payment from Asvhilli.

NOOSE: I see the target car. Let's set up this Russian and get out of here.

NOOSE: On me. Stay vigilant.

NOOSE: Go. Go. Go.

NOOSE: Stick in formation. Eyes out for anything suspicious.

NOOSE: Let's keep this quick, people.

NOOSE: We don't want to be here any longer than we have to be, come on.

Bulgarin: When they gather round the car, blow it.

or:

Bulgarin: Detonate when they are near the car.

NOOSE: Close in, people!

or:

NOOSE: Stay in formation!

NOOSE: Go! Go! Go! Go!

(The NOOSE gather around the car)

Bulgarin: Perfect. Blow them up!

or:

Bulgarin: Now is the time. Blow it.

(Luis detonates the bomb)

NOOSE: Ambush! Ambush! Get in positions!

or:

NOOSE: This ain't right! Attack positions!

NOOSE: We're being set up! Incoming! Incoming!

Bulgarin: And now we attack!

or:

Bulgarin: This is the time! Attack!

Bulgarin: Now we slaughter them!

(The three begin to fight the NOOSE)

Bulgarin: Stay calm.

Bulgarin: Assholes.

Bulgarin: Now you know what happens to the people who go against us.

Luis: Speak English, bro. I ain't feeling comfortable.

Bulgarin: I think Mr. Lopez will kick your ass tomorrow.

Bulgarin: Where is Marki Asvilli now?

Bulgarin: Fuck you!

Bulgarin: You should not leave this tomb!

Bulgarin: Our Hispanic friend is really very useful.

Timur: Maybe not.

Bulgarin: You should have taken the money!

Bulgarin: Die! Die! Die!

Bulgarin: Don't fuck with the money.

Bulgarin: Your successors will take my bribes.

Bulgarin: Make these scumbags pay!

Luis: We doin' our best.

Bulgarin: Come on Luis, this is what we are born to do!

Luis: I hope not!

NOOSE: Take down the hostiles!

NOOSE: The President said we can do whatever the fuck we want, assholes.

NOOSE: You're fucking with the wrong people, Russians.

NOOSE: We're gonna get paid extra for killing you.

NOOSE: N - OO - S - E, motherfuckers.

NOOSE: We need to drop these suckers!

Luis: Dirty fucking cops.

Luis: I'm glad I cheat on my tax returns!

Luis: What's so fucking funny, man? I don't get you.

Luis: Eat it.

Luis: Fuck off.

Luis: Nothing worse than a bad guy with a badge.

Luis: Take that, man.

Luis: There you go.

Luis: You like getting your hands dirty, Mr. B?

Luis: Shit.

Bulgarin: Does not everybody?

Timur: You die now.

Timur: Okay!

Timur: You like?

Timur: Bye bye.

Timur: Urghhhh.

Timur: Eat mine.

Timur: Grrrrrrrrr!

Timur: Arghhhhh!

(Reinforcements arrive)

Bulgarin: They've called more!

or:

Bulgarin: They called reinforcements!

Bulgarin: They called it in. More are coming!

(All of the NOOSE are killed)

Bulgarin: Let's get out of here. Go. Go.

or:

Bulgarin: Come on. We go now.

Bulgarin: Let us leave. Come on.

(The three leave the parking lot and run into more NOOSE and FIB)

FIB: I always wanted to kill me a Russian.

FIB: Shoot first, plant evidence later.

FIB: Head shots only, boys.

FIB: We got us a firefight, boys!

FIB: Neutralize the hostiles!

(If the NOOSE and FIB chase the three)

FIB: You're coming with me! Get out!

FIB: Get the fuck out of there!

FIB: This is the end of the line!

FIB: Stop, motherfuckers!

FIB: Pull over! Now!

(The rest of the NOOSE and FIB are killed)

Bulgarin: Take us back to my sister's.

or:

Bulgarin: Go back to my sister's house.

(Luis takes Timur and Bulgarin back to the house)

Bulgarin: Excellent! Excellent! Marki's cocksuckers burned!

Timur: I still have smell of meat in nose.

Luis: Bro.

Timur: Is true. You are one who blew them up.

Bulgarin: That you did, Luis. A serviceable job. Most competent.

Luis: How'd I get myself into this shit, man?

Bulgarin: You didn't get yourself into this. I choose you. I picked you out because I see potential in you. You are lucky to be here.

Luis: Yeah, great. Thanks. But if you need more cops taken out, crooked or otherwise, you ain't choosing me.

Bulgarin: Look at this. The sensitive modern American male. You need to go home and exfoliate your balls? May as well cut them off.

Luis: What the fuck is this? I don't like killing government agents so I ain't go no balls? Gimme a break.

Bulgarin: Okay. Calm down. We got no more law enforcement to expunge. For now. Those were the only guys Marki had on us.

Timur: You think he will sell?

Bulgarin: He has no choice but to sell. We have taken away his protection.

Luis: It's that simple, is it?

Bulgarin: It should be. Marki is a weakling. He lives here in exile, like all cowards. But he has been here for a long time, so he has bought connections that others of us have not been able to acquire. This little trip should have severed a good deal of those connections, and will give others involved a pause before they continue their association.

Luis: Okay.

Bulgarin: Perhaps I will buy clubs off you as well. You sell them to me?

Luis: Them clubs is leveraged to the max already, man. I don't know if there's anything left to sell.

Bulgarin: I don't care about other investors. They will forget about debts if I am involved.

Luis: Some of these investors aren't the type to go away. They aren't the type to pay off either. Anyway, it's not my place to sell them. I have a stake, but Tony's got the controlling share.

Bulgarin: Of course. Tony pulls the strings and the little puppet man dance for him. Let me know when Tony next has hand up your ass and ventriloquist's dummy can talk.

Luis: Fuck, man, what's wrong with you?

Bulgarin: Your stake is bullshit. You think you run the club, but you are still just security. You are Tony's gimp and you won't admit it.

Luis: It's not like that.

Bulgarin: This what you want to do your whole life?

Luis: No, but seriously, bro.

Bulgarin: I have opportunities for you. Think about them.

(The three arrive back at Bulgarin's house)

Bulgarin: Think about what I said to you. The offer will not be there forever.

Luis: Okay, I will.

Bulgarin: Send my regards to big Tony.

Alternate dialogue

Bulgarin: I am glad we have this opportunity yo get to know each other, Luis.

Luis: Oh yeah?

Bulgarin: Yes. It is important that one knows those he employ intimately.

Luis: Shit, bro, just 'cause I got a gay boss, don't mean I'm gonna get intimate with you. And if I was, it would not be on our first date either.

Bulgarin: Very funny but, I don't think you realize the magnitude of your insults, so I will let them slide. I am not a man to be mocked.

Luis: Alright. Rewind a second. What you mean, "employ"? I'm already in business with Tony.

Bulgarin: And where has that got you? Apart from up a few models' skirt, I mean. The money I have can open those legs more readily than your bottle service can.

Luis: I tell you where it's got me, it's got me off the street. Before I met Tony, I was a no hoper. I'd probably be in for life by now. Tony's given me every opportunity I ever got.

Bulgarin: Until now?

Luis: Maybe.

Bulgarin: There is a point where you will not be able to gain anything from him, understand? Where you will outgrow him and he will begin to hold you back. Perhaps this time has already came.

Luis: I don't think so, bro. Not yet. Tony and I are partners. I'm gonna bring him with me wherever I got.

Bulgarin: How sweet you are. Pathetic. This is not possible, and I think you know it. What are your dreams, Luis? What do you want to be?

Luis: I don't wanna be no rock star like you guys seem to. That what you asking?

Bulgarin: No, it is not. I am informed that you used to have a reputation as a fighter.

Luis: I can handle myself. But you can only fight for so long until you run into the wrong guy, and then it ain't pretty.

Bulgarin: You don't want to go pro? With the money behind you, no one would dare to beat you.

Luis: Pro fighting's a joke, bro. May as well be a wrestler if you want to join the circus.

Bulgarin: I used to wrestle. I was in academy as a boy.

Luis: Timur, man, check this out. You diss my boss for being gay and yours went to wrestling school? Gimme a break, man.

Bulgarin: I do not understand the joke.

Timur Is not funny hoke. What is problem with wrestling academy.

Luis: Shit, look man. I don't wanna be no wrestler. This hospitality shit, this is my thing now. I know people and people know me. I can get things done in this town.

Bulgarin: That is why you are the person I need with me, but you must be loyal to me alone.

Luis: That's a bit of a problem, bro. I ain't fresh off the boat, this is my town. I don't come alone. Tony's my business partner, bro. I ain't just leaving when a better offer comes along.

Bulgarin: You say this now. We will see if your mind is changed.

(Luis drives Timur and Bulgarin back to the house)

Luis: I can't believe we just took out a whole NOOSE team.

Bulgarin: The city will be safer place without their corruption.

Timur: At least you don't have to clean up the mess.

Bulgarin: They will be scraping them off the wall for weeks. Human graffiti. Ashvilli will see what happens to those men. It is a lesson to all those who have welcomed him here.

Luis: Okay, man, you sent your message. Who is this guy?

Bulgarin: He is a traitor of his country - a worm. He uses his position here to keep back all those who are still involved in the East. I am trying to buy him our of every position he holds.

Luis: And if that don't work?

Bulgarin: We will do what we did in the garage. Boom boom. Bye bye.

Luis: You mind my asking why a man of your means still gets his hands dirty like this?

Bulgarin: It is important to keep an eye on your people.

Luis:But you trust Timur, right?

Bulgarin: I trust no one.

Luis: Is that it then, you just too paranoid to let someone else get nasty?

Bulgarin: Why would I pay someone to have all the fun?

Luis: If this is what you call fun, then fair enough.

Bulgarin: You don't get a kick out of it? It does not get your dick hard?

Luis: I'm gonna be honest, I kind of prefer a hot girl and a bottle of wine to a gun fight with the terror squad.

Bulgarin: Then maybe you a fag. I thought you were heterosexual one in a partnership.

Luis: These gay jokes ain't gonna stop, are they?

Bulgarin: Maybe they will.

Luis: Oh yeah?

Bulgarin: It is easy. You come on board with us. You leave your fag master. He is an embarrassment.

Luis: Tony has some tough times, but he ain't no embarrassment. He used to be the coolest guy in this city. Ran things. He's still relevant.

Bulgarin: Yes "Once upon a time." Is an ancient memory. Now he is a pill popping joke.

Luis: Hey, don't say that about Tony, man. I can't have you talking shit about him.

Bulgarin: This is what the world sees. This is what they think of when they see you.

Timur: True, true.

Bulgarin: You have an opportunity here. I would like you to think about what you can become without this weight around your neck.

Luis: Hey, I owe my life to Tony.

Bulgarin: I just want you to think about it. Do that for me.

Luis: Yeah, maybe, man.

Bulgarin: Okay!

Other dialogue

(Luis attains a wanted level)

Bulgarin: We can't have this police attention. Lose it.

Bulgarin: Get rid of these cops, Luis. We do not need extra eyes on us.

Bulgarin: We are looking for specific peace officers. Lose this heat.

(Not parking the car correctly)

Bulgarin: This is your excuse for parking? Straighten her up.

or:

Bulgarin: We can't leave car like this. Straighten her.

Bulgarin: Park the car straight. That will be suspicious.

(Placing the bomb in sight)

Bulgarin: Do you want them to see the explosive?

or:

Bulgarin: They will see that there, you imbecile.

(The NOOSE see the planted bomb)

NOOSE: There's a bomb on the car. Let's find the hostile that put it there. Move out.

or:

NOOSE: The car's been rigged to blow. Scout the area for hostiles.

NOOSE: Someone's fitted the vehicle with an IED. Search the area.

(Luis doesn't stay in cover)

NOOSE: You'd get the fuck out of here if you knew what was good for you.

or:

NOOSE: I'd start running before we start shooting.

NOOSE: You got to leave now, civilian.

NOOSE: We will use force if you don't vacate immediately.

(If Luis doesn't keep up with Bulgarin and Timur)

Bulgarin: What do you wait for? Come on, Luis.

Post mission phone call

Luis: Hey Tone, what's happening, bro?

Tony: Besides my life falling apart in front of my eyes, not much is happening... 'bro'. Someone told me they saw you driving around with some Russians. What the fuck are they? You gone over to the dark side?

Luis: Really? That's funny, man. Your friend must have been mistaken.

Tony: Okay. Of course. Shit. The stress is really getting to me.

Luis: Calm shit down, T, and don't take it out on me. I'll be by soon. Take care of yourself.

Failing the mission

Bulgarin dies

Luis: You gonna be okay?

Timur: Get out my face, you piece of shit.

Luis: Okay then. Enjoy yourself.

Timur dies

Luis: Look, man, I'm sorry about your friend, okay?

Bulgarin: Timur? He is replaceable, but his death is part of the large failure. Fuck this amateur shit.

Car destroyed early

Luis: I guess we got to move to plan B.

Bulgarin: There is no plan B, you simpleton. Ray Bulgarin should not need to provide for failure.

Abandoning Bulgarin and Timur

Luis: Yo, Ray. Shit man, something else came up. I hope you could take care of that thing without me.

Bulgarin: Your pathetic camp master has taught you to fail. This is not acceptable.

Luis: Later, bro.

Alerting the NOOSE

Luis: Man, I guess shit just don't go to plan every time.

Bulgarin: I expect more from a man of your reputation, Mr. Lopez. Goodbye.
