Weekend at Florian's/Script

Pre mission phone calls

Ray

Ray: Hey Nicky. You've been a decent earner for me and I appreciate that. I'm throwing you a bone.

Niko: What are you waiting for? Throw it.

Ray: There's some fanook called Talbot, Talbot Daniels, over in the Triangle. He's into me for about ten Gs, he says he might know something about Florian Cravic.

Niko: Florian?

Ray: Your days of searching are over, my friend. This guy should point you in the right direction.

Roman

Niko: Hey, Roman. Can you do me a favor?

Ray: Anything for you, cousin. Just name it. You want some women? I met this...

Niko: Is not that, I'm coming to collect you from the apartment. Wait for me there.

Script

(Niko picks up Roman from their apartment)

Roman: There you are!

Niko: I have found Florian Cravic. There's a man called Talbot Daniels who will lead us to him.

Roman; Talbot, I know him from some of the card games I play. So, you're finally going to kill Florian Cravic... You know, if this fucks up, the bad shit's coming down on my head.

Niko: What do you mean?

Roman: I mean, you fuck up and I take the shit. You kill the wrong guy and his friends will fuck with me to get to you. I didn't have no scars until you arrived. Now I am practically chopping board I have so many cuts on me.

Niko: You are a rich chopping board.

Roman: I worry for you, NB. Sometimes you just got to let the hate go. You really going to feel better once Florian is dead?

Niko: Soon, we will find out.

(The two find Talbot Daniels)

Roman: There he is. Let's go talk to him. He's always at the games held around Algonquin. Not too good either. I don't think I've seen him win a hand.

Niko: Hey, I hear you know Florian Cravic. Where is he?

Talbot: Florian Cravic? I don't know what you're talking about.

Roman: I been head to head with this guy a few times, NB. I know his tells. He's lying.

Talbot: Roman, what's this about?

Roman: He doesn't act well under pressure, NB. Beat him a little.

Talbot: Alright already. There's a guy I know, likes to be called Florian Cravic at... um... certain moments. Lives uptown somewhere.

Niko: Show me.

Roman: Get in the car, Talbot.

(Niko gets a car and the three begin looking for Florian)

Talbot: Hmmm. Let me think about this.

Talbot: Let me retrace my steps then.

Talbot: Now where was it again?

(If Niko gets a wanted level)

Roman: Fucking bacon.

(If Niko is required to go left)

Talbot: Left on this one.

Talbot: It's left now.

Talbot: Turn left here.

Talbot: Uhhh, oh. Left.

Talbot: Take a left.

Talbot: Left here.

Talbot: You gotta turn left here.

Talbot: Left, alright?

Talbot: Well, how about you maybe go left and see where it takes us?

Talbot: I think, umm... I'm pretty sure it's left.

Talbot: Go left here.

Talbot: Alright, turn left.

(If Niko is required to go straight)

Talbot: This is the way, keep going.

Talbot: Okay, head on.

Talbot: Okay then... ummm... straight.

Talbot: Alright, I'd keep going straight here.

Talbot: Okay, you have to head on straight.

Talbot: Okay, it's straight I think.

Talbot: Ohhh, you might have to keep going here.

Talbot: Ahhh. Try going straight here.

Talbot: That's it. Straight on.

Talbot: Keep going up here.

Talbot: Don't turn here.

Talbot: Head on straight.

Talbot: Oh, I think, if I'm not wrong it's straight.

Talbot: Straight ahead.

Talbot: Stay on this street.

(If Niko is required to go right)

Talbot: Right at this one.

Talbot: Right!

Talbot: Alright man, turn right.

Talbot: Well... ummm... okay... turn right. Turn right.

Talbot: Okay then, I guess I'd turn right here.

Talbot: Let me think. Umm, okay, right.

Talbot: Ummm, I'm pretty sure it's right here.

Talbot: Ummm, can you maybe go right.

Talbot: Okay... I think you should maybe turn right.

Talbot: Hang a right.

Talbot: Gotta go right, here.

Talbot: Turn right.

Talbot: Right here, okay?

Talbot: Take this right.

Talbot: Go right.

Talbot: Alright, keep going straight.

Talbot: This is complicated. How about right?

(If Niko goes too fast)

Talbot: This is impossible when you're going this fast. I can't see any of the turnoffs.

Talbot: Easy there, man. You need to go slow if I'm gonna be able to get you there.

Talbot: Okay, I cannot work at this speed. No siree.

Talbot: Ease up a little, big fella. I can't see when you're going that fast.

Talbot: Hey, slow down. I can't see the turns.

(If Niko drives into oncoming traffic)

Talbot: Help! You've taken a car down a one way street.

Talbot: You trying to kill us? That traffic's heading toward us!

Talbot: Aaah! Are you crazy? This street's one way!

Talbot: What're you doing? This is a one way street.

(If the player hasn't found it)

Roman: What are you doing, Talbot? You take us around in circles?

Roman: Don't be stupid, man. I know you are just taking us about in circles.

Talbot: Bernie Crane. What have you gotten me into.

(The three arrive at Bernie's place)

Talbot: This is it. This is Bernie's place. Are you going to kill him?

Niko: When I am done with Florian, he will be begging to die. That is the most your friend can look forward to. Get out of here now. You've done your job.

(Niko and Roman enter the apartment)

Roman: Niko! Be calm... be calm...

Niko: Fuck calm Florian! Florian! I'm here for you, asshole. Open the door!

(Niko kicks down the door)

Niko: Florian! I've come for you, Florian.

Florian: Ah! Go away!

(Florian runs away)

Niko: Florian? Is that you?

Florian: Niko? What the hell are you doing here?

Niko: What happened to you?

Florian: Oh, I started working out... you know, toned up the, er...

Roman: Florian? You used to work in the abattoir?

Florian: Oh don't remind me... Roman? You put on a few vanity pounds. What are you guys doing here? Why did you kick my door down?

Niko: I've come to ask you some questions.

Florian: It wasn't you, was it.

Niko: What wasn't me?

Florian: Who set us up. It was you or Darko. I thought it must be him. Oh, my God! You think it was me... that's why you're here. You've come to kill me! Well screw you, Niko Bellic and fatty Roman! It wasn't me. It wasn't! I would do that!

(Niko lowers his pistol)

Roman: Can we stop with the fat jokes, Florian?

Florian: It's Bernie now. After I came here, I wanted a complete change. So I became Bernie Crane. I'm sorry about the fat thing... you're still kind of cute.

Roman: Ha ha. Gee, thanks.

Niko: What are you doing here?

Florian: Well, I'm a lifestyle coach, and I teach an aerobics class... And I'm in love! He's married... it's so doomed. And he's in politics... he's the deputy mayor.

Roman: Bryce Dawkins? But he's so into family values!

Florian: Oh, that's just politics.

Niko: Where is Darko?

Florian: Dead, I hope! I'm not sure. I... I... I heard he was still in Europe, or Switzerland, or somewhere... but then I heard that you had joined the circus so information can be unreliable.

Niko: We have to find him. We have to find him.

Roman: I think he's a bit freaked out. I guess he thought seeing you would answer some questions.

Florian: So I see... well it's great to see you guys... we must do brunch.

Roman: Sure... see you later, Florian.

Florian: Bernie!

(Niko and Roman leave the apartment)

Roman: So, Florian has changed?

Niko: Yes.

Roman: He's moved on from what happened to you, you should've moved on too. What are you going to do?

Niko: He may not be here in Liberty City, but he's still out there. I will find out where Darko Brevic is, and I will make him answer for his actions. We know now that it was him. I need to be alone now, Roman.

Roman: Sure, I'll see you later then. Call me, okay?

Post mission phone call

Ray: Nicky, you ice him?

Niko: He wasn't the one I was looking for.

Ray: Too bad, chief. I did what I could.
