Dialogue

(Niko arrives at the basketball courts)

Gangster: ...and that's why the Penetrators ain't doin' nothing this season. They got no one who can work the lanes, man.

Marlon: Shit, Lieutenant, that's something I was forced into from the necessity of my financial situation. My body is forced to rob and deal in order to sustain my own well bein' and that of my immediate family.

(Niko takes a picture of the group and sends it to Playboy who calls Niko)

Playboy X: Yo, money. Marlon's the one in the black jacket. Smoke him.

Niko: Sure.

or:

Playboy X: Marlon's the one dressed like a damn canary. Wearing that yellow jack and shit. Get rid of him.

Niko: I'll get rid of him.

or:

Playboy X: Money, Marlon's the man in blue. Ice that bitch.

Niko: Yeah.

(If Niko takes a picture of the wrong group)

That ain't Marlon! There another group near by? the X

(If Niko takes a picture of something unrelated)

I can't see shit. Take a proper pic of them cats. the X

(If Niko gets too close to the group)

Gangster: Who you eye ballin', fool? Peace out, cousins.

Niko: I shot at the guys by the courts.
