If the Price is Right/Script

Script

Niko: Hey, Phil. You excited about this deal?

or:

Niko: Big Phil, what's up?

Niko: Alright there, Phil. Seen any choppers or submarines or anything?

Phil: We're going to Port Tudor. Let's move.

(Niko drives to the compound)

Phil: Dimitri's giving the buyer the H while we pick up the money. We'll get a call from him when they have the stuff, then the buyers will hand over the funds. Couldn't be simpler.

Niko: How come everything we get into starts off simple and ends up real complicated? Well, at least I don't have to see that weasel Dimitri in the flesh.

Phil: Yeah, I met him when Jimmy P set up the deal. There's something about him I don't trust. He ain't someone I'd work with more than once, no matter how much he's earning us.

Niko: That's a smart move. I worked with him and he double crossed me. Sold me out to someone I had history with. I nearly got killed and I never thought I'd cooperate with him again.

Phil: Money makes people do the strangest things, don't it?

(They arrive at the compound)

Mafia: Hey, are you guys here to pick up the cash?

Phil: That's right. Where is it?

Mafia: When we get word that the brown is good, we'll give up the cash. You just head into the compound and wait for us to give you the nod.

(Niko drives into the compound and talks with Dimitri on the phone)

Dimitri: Niko Bellic, it's so good to be working with you again.

Niko: I cannot say I have the same enthusiasm for this partnership. Have you given them the H? I want to get this money and go home.

Dimitri: You know what? I thought, 'Why should we hand over the H for this price?' I thought it'd be easier if I just killed those guys and kept it.

Niko: Easier for who? What the fuck are you doing? Me and Phil are in their compound. What's going to happen when they find out?

Dimitri: If I was you, I'd go and get the money off them. It has to be on the site. That way we all win. Good luck, Niko.

(Niko hangs up)

Niko: Fucking Dimitri, he's killed the guys collecting the stuff.

Phil: Shit, we're screwed. They ain't gonna let us leave. Alright, if we're fighting, we're fighting for the money. We got the jump on them right now. Follow me.

(The two run around to the back of the warehouse)

Phil: Up on the roof, Niko. Let's see if we can figure out what's going on inside.

(They climb a ladder up to the roof)

Phil: We're in this together man, come on, come on.

Phil: Stick close to me, Niko.

Phil: Don't go too far, Niko. Follow me.

Phil: This way.

(The two run over to a window)

Phil: Alright, the money's in there. Once we're in, it's all or nothing.

Niko: Let's go then.

(Phil pulls out a carbine rifle and shoots the window)

Phil: Come after me...

(The two begin fighting the Mafia)

Phil: Get those guys.

Phil: Shit, Niko. Look over there.

Phil: Niko, they're over there.

Phil: Lay down some fire.

(The two reach the office where the buyer is taking his money and escaping)

Phil: The punk is getting away with the money. I ain't come this far to let it go. Come on.

(The two make it outside)

Phil: We need a car if we're gonna chase that bastard.

(The two get in a vehicle and begin chasing the buyer whilst dodging obstacles)

Niko: Come on. There's a way through.

Niko: This is not going to stop us getting the money.

Niko: He thinks this will hold us back.

Niko: Oh, he is not going anywhere. Not with our money.

Niko: I just want to take the money and go home.

Niko: He's not keeping that money.

Niko: We are getting the cash off him. Be sure of that.

Niko: I am going to think about Dimitri when we kill this man with our money.

Niko: We've had to kill a lot of men for this money. It's rightfully ours.

Phil: You're right on him.

Phil: We need that money.

Phil: Get him, Niko.

(The buyer is killed and the two retrieve the money)

Niko: We got it.

Phil: Thank fucking God. That certainly wasn't simple.

(Niko takes Phil back to Port Tudor)

Phil: Fucking Dimitri, I ain't never been put in a situation like that before.

Niko: I guess you get used to it when you hang around him long enough.

Phil: If they'd gotten tipped off before Dimitri called us, we woulda been fucked. It woulda been an execution.

Niko: Dimitri likes to set up executions. He set up his best friend Mikhail Faustin.

Phil: You gonna kill him then?

Niko: No, it's over for me, I'm out. If I was going to kill him I would have done that instead of this deal. Now I got the money and I'm going to forget all about this shit.

Phil: Good luck to you, man. I hope it works out.

(They arrive back at Port Tudor)

Phil: Thanks, Niko. I can't think of anyone else I woulda preferred to have with me in a spot like that.

Niko: I just wish I hadn't been put in that position.

Phil: Keep safe and enjoy the money. Ciao.

Alternate dialogue

Phil: This is just a straightforward money pickup. Dimitri is gonna hand over the H on his end. Then we're gonna get a call saying we're good to go. They'll hand over the cash and we're out of there.

Niko: I don't think anything is straight forward. Especially when you've got a snake like Dimitri Rascalov working with you.

Phil: Something didn't look right about him. I don't know, there was something in his eyes.

Niko: If you thought that Ray was slippery, Dimitri is a different level. At least you knew what Ray was after from day one, Dimitri can turn on his best friend in a second.

Phil: So, why are you working with him again?

Niko: Sometimes it ain't worth sacrificing a paycheck for person differences. I'm after the money not revenge.

Post mission phone calls

Roman

Niko: Well, cousin, we're rich.

Roman: You did that deal? You worked with Dimitri? That's great, Niko.

Niko: Yeah, maybe it would have been if he hadn't screwed me over and nearly got me killed.

Roman: But he didn't get you killed. You got the money and you survived. We will celebrate at the wedding reception. Cheer up, Niko.

Niko: Alright, Roman. Today is your and Mallorie's day. I will be happy for you both.

Pegorino

Pegorino: We're back on top, Niko. The Pegorinos is still somebody. Phil's bringing me my taste of the cash and Dimitri's still got hold of the horse. This is perfect.

Niko: I hope your partnership is a fruitful one. Good luck and goodbye.

Pegorino: You been a useful set of hands. Look after yourself.

Kate

Niko: Hey, Kate. I decided to work with that guy. I don't know if it was the right decision but I did it. He screwed me over again.

Kate: You see, Niko. You should have gone with your instinct not to trust him. I can't believe you could care about money that much.

Niko: Well, we do what we can to survive, Kate. Are you coming to Roman's wedding?

Kate: I don't think so, Niko. I don't want to be around you right now.

Failing the mission

Meeting broken up

Phil: What the fuck are you doing? These boys ain't gonna do business with us now.

Phil dies

Niko: Mr. Pegorino. Phil didn't make it. He's in a better place.

Pegorino: Shit, Phil. Anywhere'd be a better place than being in my shoes right now. If I don't got Phil, I don't got much. I'm screwed.
