"I'm Delores," she said, turning back to the microphone. "Yeah, someone named Pete. Okay. Okay, hurry on back. He's a bit busy right now," Delores said.

Just take one of those cabs over there, and go pick up this guy over in Downtown? We're a bit short of drivers right now, I'll pay you all and too." | ||
"I've got some things to do right now," Pete said uncertainly. "I'm not sure driving a taxi's the best use of my time." | "I've got some things to do right now," Pete said uncertainly. "I'm not sure driving a taxi's the best use of my time." | ||

He thought for a moment, then agreed. "Okay." He walked over to a cab, and saw that the keys were in the ignition. Before leaving, he remembered something. "Hey Delores. Do you know some guy called..." He tried to remember the name Phil had given him. "...Vercetti?" | He thought for a moment, then agreed. "Okay."

"Thank you," Pete said, closing the door and driving out of the depot. | "Thank you," Pete said, closing the door and driving out of the depot. | ||
He pulled onto the road and headed for Downtown, he checked the picture and name taped onto the dashboard. Squinting, he spotted a likely-looking man wearing a red T-shirt standing next to the police station. Rolling down the window, he drove towards him, and called, "Hal Norwood?" The man turned around, spotted the cab, and climbed inside. "About damn time! Take me to the Stadium. I'm meeting someone there." | |||
Pete tapped the location on his GPS, set the fee timer at $0, and pulled out of the lane. "You gotta be kidding me?" Hal said. "You're a damn cab driver, and you can't find your way around the town?" | |||
"I'm new." | |||
"Don't know what the hell Kaufman is doing these days...well if you don't ask too many questions, I guess I'll be okay with you." | |||
When Pete stopped the taxi next to the woman indicated by Norwood, she sat down beside him, and he said, "King Knuts." | |||
"You mean the one we passed by on the way here?" | |||
"No, I mean the one in Little Haiti. Step on it." | |||
As Pete took the cab around a loop and back out of Downtown, the woman said, "This guy is using a GPS. Why don't we just call VC cabs next time?" | |||
"Cuz Kaufman is cheap," Hal said, sliding his hand over. "And baby, you should know—" | |||
"Don't start, Hal. I ain't your wife. If I told Mary how you talk to me..." | |||
"Hey hey, I was just messing around, you know?" Hal said, raising his hands defensively. | |||
"You do that a lot, don't you? I don't suppose she would care anyway. When you get a kid from a damn prostitute and you marry her, you don't even give a shit that she runs around every night with other guys." | |||
