The following is a script of the mission High Dive in The Ballad of Gay Tony.

Script

Yusuf: You tell him I don't care. A billion dollars is chump change. What does a billion dollars buy anyway today? It doesn't even buy a million dollars. No, you tell him that. You tell him Yusuf Amir is speaking. That name does mean something in this town! One second. Hello? Excuse me. Hello? Hello, who is this? Poppa! How are you? Yes, Poppa, yes, a present. It's a gift. No. No, you didn't pay for it. I did. Well, I didn't pay for it, so you didn't... Poppa, it's complicated. I miss you, Poppa. I do. Yes, I'm close to closing the deal. The biggest tower. You're going to be so proud of me. Well, ten dollars is maybe a little bit too much to spend in a month, but it was necessary. No, Poppa, no, that's not fair. No, no, no. Poppa, they're not prostitutes! They're loose women! Poppa, Poppa, hello Poppa?

(Yusuf hangs the phone up and sees Luis)

Yusuf: Hey, it's you my friend, how you doing? How you doing?

Luis: What's up, papa? Trouble with your old man?

Yusuf: No. With my father.

Luis: Okay...yeah. Family can be tough, man.

Yusuf: He's a very conservative man. He does not understand what I'm doing here. He thinks my life is one long party - a reckless orgy of sex, drugs and spending.

Luis: Really?

Yusuf: He is deluded. I work my fingers to the bone. To the bone! You know, last week I got exhausted test driving sexy cars. I had to fly to Vice City and bang bitches for two weeks just to recover. I'm a workaholic man. A workaholic, homie.

Luis: Yeah, evidently.

Yusuf: And now, I have to meet Ahmed and his brother to take a business meeting. I mean, I love those guys; they're like family, but, oh God, it's going to exhaust me.

Luis: How is that?

Yusuf: These guys, they're always going on about how rich they are, "look the money here, the money there". You know what they are, Luis? I'll level with you, they're very, what's the word? Tacky! No taste! I mean, I love those guys, but seriously, come on...

Luis: Okay, well, I guess I'll see you later, then.

Yusuf: No, no, no, no. Hey, you're coming with me, baby. You need to hang around. Act like we're friends. Shit, we are friends, baby! Make out that we've got shit going down. Going down, my nigga! Anyway, let's go. Let's bounce, baby. When I say bounce, I don't mean bouncing literally, I just mean...

Luis: I know what it means, Yusuf.

Yusuf: It's a term from the street meaning you have to walk. But if you don't get that it's a bit like, Roll with me. You have to roll, but not like a fat man rolling, but just walk.

Luis: Can we just go?

Dialogue

Yusuf: Cruise on up to Rotterdam Tower. We gots a meet, man.

or:

Yusuf: Head over to Rotterdam Tower, me bredren.

(Luis begins to drive towards Rotterdam Tower)

Yusuf: I am giving you this special auto shotgun with exploding shells.

or:

Yusuf: I have a special gift, Luis. An auto shotgun with explosive shells!

Luis: Here's hoping I don't need to use this shit.

or:

Luis: Thanks, bro. Let's hope I don't have to use it.

Yusuf: Excuse me a moment, please. I have to call Ahmed. Make sure it's all cool and safe and that.

(Yusuf calls Ahmed)

Yusuf: Yo. A-rab. What's up? Tel those bitches at Rotterdam theirs ain't gonna be the tallest tower for long. Yusuf's in town, baby. And your shit 'bout to be inadequate. Yeah, shit, I'm coming, man. Chill the f out. What you set het up about? Poppa ain't in town, is he? Oh! Thank goodness. If it's not Poppa,I can't think why you are so agitated. Calm down, will you? I'll see you in a moment.

(Yusuf hangs up)

Yusuf: Ahmed. Ahmed. I know that man too well. Something is afoot. He's acting like a bitch and I can't figure out why. It may be nothing, but I've got a sixth sense for this shit. Do you mind going up to the observation deck and conversating with them?

(Luis drives to Rotterdam Tower)

Yusuf: Thank you, brother. Call me when you know it's alright, alright? Cheerio 'til then.

or:

Yusuf: I appreciate this, Luis. Hit me up when you're sure shit with them boys is cool. So long.

Luis: Alright, man. I'll check it out.

or:

Luis: Okay, bro. I'll head on up there for you.

(Yusuf drives off and Luis goes to the top of the tower)

Luis: Let's see what's goin' down.

(Luis finds Ahmed and Tahir)

Luis: Ahmed.

Ahmed: Luis. My man. Where's Yusuf?

Luis; What's going on, bro?

Ahmed: What you mean, "what's going on?" Chill, homeboy. Look at the real estate. Enjoy.

Tahir: Where the fuck is Yusuf? You said he said he'd be here.

Luis: What's wrong with you, man? Yo, what's going on?

Tahir: He knows, he fucking knows. We're in the shit.

(Luis grabs Tahir by the throat and holds his body over the ledge on the tower)

Luis: What do I know?

Ahmed: I-I-I told you to chill, man. Shit.

(Ahmed runs away)

Luis: Tell me what I just walked into.

Tahir: Shit. Shit, shit!

Luis: Tell me!

Tahir: Please, whatever you do, I'm sorry. Shit.

Luis: Fuck you!

(Luis throws Tahir over the edge)

Tahir: No!!

Taxi Driver: If I see another tourist today, I'll puke.

or:

Taxi Driver: Man this town is full of degenerates.

(Tahir lands on the roof of the taxi)

Taxi Driver: Motherfucker!

or:

Taxi Driver: Asshole!

(Luis begins to chase Ahmed up the tower while fighting the NOOSE)

Luis: You best get your chopper outta here.

Luis: Fuck off now.

Luis: There's tourists here.

Luis: FUUUUUCK.

Luis: You thought about collateral damage?

Luis: What the fuck, bro?

Luis: You a long way up, bro.

Luis: This is bullshit.

(Luis gets close to Ahmed)

Ahmed: Fuck off, man.

Ahmed: Get away from me, you crazy motherfucker.

Ahmed: You killed Tahir, you animal.

Ahmed: What am I going to do? What am I going to do?

Ahmed: This was meant to be a simple set up.

Ahmed: Why didn't Yusuf show?

Ahmed: We just wanted Yusuf out of the picture.

Ahmed: Stay away from me, man.

Luis: Ahmed, you dick.

Luis: I ain't done a thing, bro!

Luis: Ahmed, get back here.

Luis: Talk to me now, Ahmed.

Luis: You don't wanna follow your buddy, or do you?

Luis: You better tell me where the fuck we at, bro!

Luis: Yo, what the fuck's going on, man?

(Luis begins to follow Ahmed up the ladder)

Luis: Yo, I don't like heights, man.

or:

Luis: It's a long, LONG way down.

(Luis corners Ahmed on the tip of the building)

Ahmed: Look, here, I have a parachute. Take it. We were hoping to get Yusuf on wiretap. They don't know shit about you. Believe me!

(Luis lunges towards Ahmed who falls off the building. Luis then parachutes off the building and lands safely on the ground)

Luis: Snitching motherfucker. I didn't do nothing to you.

Alternate dialogue

Yusuf: I'll just hit Ahmed up on my burner, man. Make sure shit is going down.

(Yusuf calls Ahmed)

Yusuf: Arab nigga! Wassup? What you looking at, bitch? You're looking at a city about to belong to us, motherfucker. We gonna buy that piece-of-shit dirt-hole Middle Park, and turn it into a champagne swimming pool! For real, biatch! Ahmed, what's up, man? Why the stress? You sound perturbed! I haven't heard this voice since they shot that poor polo pony of yours at school. Okay, man, if you say you're cool, you're cool. We'l be there in a moment.

(Yusuf hangs up)

Yusuf: I don't have a good feeling about this. Ahmed is not himself. Very fucking weird. Do you mind going up to the observation deck and checking it out?

Post mission phone call

Yusuf: Luis, bro, I heard the news. What went down?

Luis: Tahir did. And Ahmed soon after him.

Yusuf: Oh, whatever do you mean?

Luis: Dude took a dive down to sea level, bro. Motherfuckers set you up with the NOOSE so they could take your business.

Yusuf: I cannot believe it. They were brothers to me. I would have brought them anything they wanted.

Luis: Sometimes, bro, money ain't enough.

Yusuf: I have a deep sadness in me, Luis. Will you join me, please - for an orgy of champagne, cocaine, women, watermelons and whatever else this city may have to offer. We must forget them.

Luis: Shit, you're gonna have to do your forgetting by yourself, man. I got a lot of other business to deal with, I'll see you round, man. Okay?
