I'll Take Her/Script

The following is a script of the mission "I'll Take Her..." in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Script

Gerald: You ok, kid?

Niko: Yeah, I'm ok. I'm sorry about your brother.

(If Niko killed Derrick McReary in Blood Brothers)

Gerald: Ah... me and Derrick had quite a few problems, but he was my brother... and it hurts. Poor fucking bastard. He believed in something once, which is better than me... I guess. Ah fuck, I'll miss him.

(If Niko killed Francis McReary in Blood Brothers)

Gerald: Ah... me and Francis were never exactly close, but he was my brother... and it hurts. Poor bastard. He believed in something once. That's a hell of a lot better than me, I guess. Fuck, I'll miss him.

Niko: How are you, in here?

Gerald: Fine. Time of my life... Goddamn time of my life.

Niko: What you up for?

Gerald: Oh, a lot of things. Racketeering, armed robbery, bunch of shit I never did cause I was always a well behaved family man who occasionally liked a drink, but nothing more.

Niko: Of course. Like us all.

Gerald: Like us all. But the thing is, I think I should make some changed in my life, stop with the drink, put it down, stop hanging out with the wrong sort. Can you help me do that? It is a final chance at redemption.

Niko: Look, whatever you want, I will do my best to help.

Gerald: Good. Give Packie a call. He'll explain what I need guidance with the most... the areas where I have strayed furthest from the path. See ya.

Dialogue

(Niko leaves the Alderney State Correctional Facility and phones Patrick McReary)

Niko: Your brother told me to call you.

Patrick: Gerry wants us to kidnap old man Ancelotti's daughter. Some fake tanned, dyed haired, guido loving slut by the name of Grace. She's selling her tasteful pink Feltzer on Autoeroticar at the moment. Get online, organize a viewing and snatch that bitch. When you got her, bring her to a place we got on an alleyway off Sacramento.

Niko: I can do that.

Patrick: You can do anything Niko - don't let her on that you're kidnapping her near her place though. Play along with a test drive for a while to get her out of there. It's a real mobbed up area and they'll come down on you damn heavy.

Niko: Aren't you going to help?

Patrick: One of my fucking brothers just got shot and another one's in the pen. Someone's got to be with my ma.

(Niko gets Gracie Ancelotti's phone number from Autoeroticar.com and phones her)

Niko: I'm calling about the car.

Gracie: Come to my place on Babbage Drive. You don't sound like the sort of man who'd drive a pink convertible.

Niko: I can't resist a bargain.

(If Niko calls at the wrong time)

Gracie: I'm not picking up my phone and even if I was I'd probably be too out of it to remember talking. Call me tomorrow.

(Niko goes to Gracie's house on Babbage Drive)

Gracie: You're the guy who called about the car, the one with the sexy accent?

Niko: You mind if I take a test drive?

Gracie: You can test drive whatever you want. I love riding in cars with you European types. My family's from Italia, you know? Somewhere in the south.

(Niko and Gracie get into the pink Feltzer)

Gracie: Why don't you drive towards the south coast? We can enjoy the day.

(Niko and Gracie go on a test drive)

Gracie: So, you like the car? I didn't think a manly guy like you would drive something like this. You got a wife or girlfriend or something?

Niko: I'm picking this up for a friend.

Gracie: Yeah? What a gentleman. You don't meet guys like you in this city no more. All the good men are gone is what my dad says.

Niko: Your dad sounds real oldschool. You and him close?

Gracie: Nah, not really. he's great and all, it's just I don't like his tough guy friends. I only hang out with gay guys, you know. At least they won't try and get in your pants every ten seconds. Not that I don't like guys trying to get in my pants. I appreciate fun as much as the next girl... maybe even more than the next girl.

Niko: You having fun at the moment?

Gracie: Maybe too much fun. Call me Gracie, by the way.

Niko: Sure thing, Gracie.

(If Niko speeds)

Gracie: Most girls aren't as good with a stick shift as I am.

Gracie: They sure teach you to drive in Europe.

Gracie: Push it to the limit.

Gracie: Ohh, you really know how to work a clutch.

Gracie: I've always been told I was a fast girl.

(If Niko damages the car)

Gracie: If I need to get bodywork done, you're screwed.

Gracie: You a fucking retard?

Gracie: Shit for brains, how am I going to sell this?

Gracie: Watch it.

Gracie: Are you used to driving on the other side of the road or something?

Gracie: I hope you're buying this now?

Gracie: The paintwork was a real feature on this car.

Gracie: This car ain't yours yet.

Gracie: You going to get that re-sprayed.

(Niko and Gracie continue the test drive)

Gracie: How's it going then, sweetie?

Niko: Alright, but what I'm here for hasn't really been started.

Gracie: You've been test driving for a while so I can only guess that you're interested in something other than the car.

Niko: I am, I'm here to kidnap you, Grace Ancelotti. I don't want to hurt you so remain fucking calm.

Gracie: Fuck you!

(Niko continues to drive towards Sacramento Avenue)

Gracie Ancelotti: That's it fuckwit. I'm calling Daddy and he ain't gonna treat you as polite as I do, that's for sure.

Niko: You're not calling shit, bitch. You're coming with me.

Gracie: You motherfucker, you sick bastard, you creep!

(If Gracie is spooked beforehand)

Gracie: Alright, test drive's over. Pull up. You're outta control. Stop the car now, shit bird.

(While driving towards the safehouse, Gracie will constantly fight with Niko over control of the car)

Gracie: Sorry, shit balls.

Niko: Fuck you, bitch.

Gracie: Pull the fuck over.

Niko: Not fucking likely.

Gracie: I'm outta here, dickwad.

Niko:No you're fucking not.

Gracie: Stupid car to try to kidnap me in.

Niko: You ain't going nowhere.

Gracie: There ain't no roof to hold me in.

Niko: Yeah, but I can.

Gracie: I'm getting fucking sick of you, you creep.

Niko: That makes two of us.

Gracie: I am not just letting you take me.

Niko: Yes, you are.

Gracie: End of the line.

Niko: No, it isn't.

Gracie: So long, asshole.

Niko: Hello again, bitch.

Gracie: Laters, dickface.

Niko: You're fucking annoying.

Gracie: I am going back to my daddy.

Niko: Only when he pays the fucking ransom.

Gracie: You can't drive when I got the wheel.

Niko: You don't got it for long.

Gracie: When my daddy hears about this...

Niko: Daddy ain't here now.

Gracie: How you going to keep me in a convertible, retard?

Niko: Like this.

Gracie: Fuck you!

Niko: Fuck you.

Gracie: Goodbye, enjoy your shit life.

Niko: This ain't good bye bitch.

Gracie: You ain't taking me nowhere.

Niko: Yes I am.

Gracie: I ain't gonna make this easy.

Niko: Then I'm not going to either.

Gracie: I'm gone, shithead.

Niko: No, you're not.

Gracie: Stop this thing you slimebag.

Niko: stop being such a fucking bitch.

Gracie: There ain't no childlock on this thing.

Niko: But I'm right here.

Gracie: You've seen the last of me.

Niko: I really wish that was true.

Gracie: Can't you drive, fucker?

Niko: Not when you grab the wheel.

Gracie: I'm gonna make you crash this thing.

Niko: I don't think so.

Gracie: I'll scratch your fucking eyes out.

Niko: Scratch my fucking balls.

(While struggling, Niko will hold Gracie at gunpoint)

Niko: Calm the fuck down or little birdies will be eating your brains off the dashboard tomorrow morning.

Gracie: From the moment I saw you I knew you were an over compensator. Making up for your one-inch punch with fast cars and guns.

or:

Niko: Chill out before I pull this trigger and make you real fucking chilled.

Gracie: You are in so much trouble, limp dick. My daddy loves his little girl.

(If Niko passes cops)

Gracie: Cops, earn some of my tax dollars. This creep's kidnapping me.

Niko: Sit down and shut up.

or:

Gracie: Officer, put down the donut and stop this guy. He's abducting me.

Niko: You don't know when to keep your mouth closed.

(If Gracie escapes)

Gracie: You're a fucking amateur.

or:

Gracie: I'm not hanging around here.

Gracie: See you later, you dumb fuck.

(Niko continues to drive towards Sacramento Avenue)

Gracie Ancelotti: You're fucking with the wrong girl, asshole. I'm Gracie Ancelotti and I...

Niko: Shut up.

(Niko knocks Gracie out)

Niko: Peace at last.

(Niko continues to drive towards Sacramento Avenue and receives a phone call from Little Jacob)

Little Jacob: Whappen rasta? Yo, you wanna go down to the strip club, Mr. Mention?

Niko: No can do, Jacob. I've got a girl with me and I don't think it would be appropriate. Let's speak soon though, huh?

(Niko drives to the alleyway off Sacramento Avenue and meets Gordon Sargent)

Gordon: There he is! Stevie, dump the car. I'll take this piece of ass.

Niko: Guys, the bitch better be worth the trouble.

Gordon: Her pa's got some serious cash and he pissed off Gerald. That's reason enough for me.

Niko: Well he better pay quick. I hate to think of the fight she'll put up if you try to cut her fingers off.

Alternate dialogue

Gracie: I'm Gracie, by the way.

Niko: Hey Gracie, why you selling this car? It seems pretty good.

Gracie: Let's just say that me and the LCPD have had a few disagreements about blood alcohol levels. How is a girl meant to get back to Alderney after a big night out in Algonquin if she's not drunk driving?

Niko: She could stay sober.

Gracie: You sound like my dad. Anyway, you clearly have not been to Maisonette 9. There is no such thing as sober in that place. No fucking way. If I stick to booze, it's a miracle. I couldn't get in at first, but now that I know Tony, it isn't a problem. You should come down one night.

Niko: I don't know if it would be my scene.

Gracie: I'll tell everyone that you're a big Russian oil guy or an arms dealer. We'll get fucked up and they'll love you. Before you know it, you'll have your own booth, table service, the whole scene.

Niko: We'll see.

(Niko begins the kidnapping)

Gracie: So, you like the car?

Niko: I'm not after the car. I'm after you. I mean, this is a kidnapping. Control yourself, remain calm and you might just walk away from this with your life.

Gracie: Oh my fucking God! You fucking pervert! I'm dialing my daddy. He's gonna do more than test drive your ass. Prick!

Niko: Try to call him without a phone.

Other dialogue

(Niko exits the car)

Gracie: Where are you going? Get back in.

Gracie: Hello, you've got to be in the car to test drive it.

Gracie: You can't test drive the car from out there.

Gracie: Are you gonna get back in here and test drive this thing or what?

Gracie: I thought you were interested in taking this thing for a spin.

(If Niko doesn't move)

Gracie: You're a little slow, ain't ya? A test drive means drive, jeez.

Gracie: You know how to drive, it's real easy.

Gracie: Ain't you gonna see what this thing can do?

Gracie: You're meant to be driving this car.

Gracie: I thought this was meant to be a test drive?

Phone call

(If Niko doesn't call Gracie and start the mission)

Patrick: Niko, I've got a grieving mother to look after, I don't want to worry about you not kidnapping some guido bitch like you've been asked to do.

Niko: Hey Packie, I had other stuff to do. I'll get on it, alright? Speak to you soon.

Post mission phone call

Niko Bellic: Gordon has the bitch, I'm done with her.

Patrick McReary: Thanks, Niko. My brother will be a happy man. I'll get things in motion. Be in touch.

Failing the mission

Gracie gets away

Niko: That bitch gave me the slip, Packie.

Patrick: Me brother ain't gonna be pleased. The Ancelottis better not know we had something to do with this, Niko.

Gracie dies

Niko: Packie, I'm sorry. The bitch is dead.

Patrick: Fuck. That's a big pay day you lose us McRearys in our time of need.

Unused dialogue

(Dialogue which isn't heard in-game)

Gracie: Cock-sucking son of a bitch.

Gracie: Come on, you're scaring me.

Gracie: Don't burn her out.

Gracie: Easy there, we ain't on the bullet train.

Gracie: Fire! Fire! Ain't that supposed to work?

Patrick: Fuck. That's a big pay packet you lost us McRearys in our time of need.

Gracie: Help me! Help me!

Gracie: Hey, come on, it's time we went back. You already put a few miles on the clock.

Gracie: Hold back. Stop driving like a prick.

Gracie: I think we better go back now.

Gracie: I'll give $10,000 to anybody who kills this asshole!

Gracie: I'll have your balls for this.

Gracie: I'll rip your dick off and shove it down your throat.

Gracie: I'm being kidnapped by a stupid, immigrant, creepy pervert.

Gracie: I'm being kidnapped!

Gracie: I'm gonna scream.

Gracie: I've been snatched by the dumbest kidnapper ever.

Gracie: Save me from this dumb pervert.

Gracie: She's not meant to be driven like this.

Gracie: Some illegal immigrant creep is kidnapping me.

Gracie: Someone help me!

Gracie: Stupid immigrant fuck.

Gracie: This creep wants to rape me!

Gracie: When my daddy hears about this...

Gracie: When my dad's done with you, you'll wish you'd been sent to prison.

Gracie: You can't do this.

Gracie: You fucking prick.

Gracie: You motherfucker!

Gracie: You're a dead man.
