Dialogue

Ivan: They're just over on Berners Road.

(Niko begins to drive to Berners Road)

Ivan: I heard that Vlad went missing soon after I left Hove Beach.

Niko: Yeah, he wasn't around for much longer. A few people moved away.

Ivan: I bet he went back to Russia. Typical of everyone in Hove Beach. Come to Liberty City but only speak to Russians. Of everywhere here, Alderney is the most like the Real America. I love it, man.

Niko: I hear the real America is all strip malls and clinical obesity?

Ivan: That's a ridiculous generalization. They're good people. Good people.
