Bleed Out/Script

The following is a script of the mission Bleed Out in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Phone Call

Roman: Niko, Bledar has me cornered in the courts under the El Train on Firefly.

Niko: What does he want?

Roman: I can't think what he could possibly want or why he'd be pissed off, can you? Come on guys, let's be reasonable.

Script

(Niko goes to he basketball courts and sees Roman and the loan sharks)

Roman: Listen, Dardan is a good friend of mine. It was a misunderstanding... oh!

(Kalem kicks Roman in the stomach)

Niko: Hey!

Bledar: Shit, there he is. Keep on fatboy here, and I'll talk to him. Our problem's with your cousin.

Niko: I told you to stop. Now it's too late.

Dialogue

(Niko beats Bledar and fights Kalem)

Kalem: This beating is for Dardan.

Kalem: You're not going to beat me down, fool.

Kalem: Screw you, asshole.

Kalem: Dardan is my brother.

Kalem: I do not go down so easy.

Kalem: Fuck you, bitch fuck.

Kalem: You are a bitch just like your cousin.

Roman: Not so tough no more, are you?

Roman: You shouldn't have messed with the Bellics.

Roman: If I wasn't a pacifist I'd stick it to you too.

Roman: There's what I owe plus interest.

Roman: This is what we think of you debts.

(Niko beats Kalem up and helps Roman)

Niko: You alright, cousin?

Roman: Yeah, fine. Fucking loan sharks, man. If one more of these gangsters tries to... Speaking of shitheads, here's Dardan. Come on, my car is over there, let's get him. You drive. I don't feel so good.

(Niko and Roman get in the car and chase Dardan)

Roman: These guys think that they're better than me. They think they can fuck me around and beat me up because there are more of them. Not any longer. Me and you, Niko, me and you are going to show them. Fucking Dardan smashing my fucking stuff. Who does he think he is? Just some fucking petty Albanian hood. If I wanted to buy a stolen TV I'd go to Dardan. Who does he think he's fucking with? Bellic Enterprises, that's who. We're going to the top, Niko, the top.

Niko: For now, let's just try to survive, cousin.

(Dardan stops and Niko chases him)

Roman: Dardan is stopping, he trying to get away on foot.

(Niko fights Dardan)

Dardan: Motherfucker, stay away.

Dardan: Your cousins owes us money, shithead.

Dardan: Stay the fuck away from me.

Dardan: You broke my arm already, man.

(Niko beats up Dardan)

Niko: You shouldn't play with sharp objects, Dardan.

(Niko pushes Dardan out of the window)

Niko: Ahhhhhhhh! I promised myself I wouldn't kill people here.

(Niko goes back to Roman)

Niko: Dardan ain't a problem for you no more, cousin.

Roman: Nice one, cousin. Drive me to the depot, these bruises are starting to pain.

or:

Roman: Will you drive me back to the office, cousin? Argh.

Niko: These men, these shylocks like Dardan, they always try to squeeze you for everything. A man in Europe, another Russian... Bulgarin. He live on the Adriatic. Believed I owed him money when I did not. He made my life impossible. There was no avoiding him.

Roman: Did you deal with him like you did Dardan and Bledar?

Niko: He had too many connections for that. I had to leave. He is one of the reasons I came here.

Roman: And to see your cousin, of course.

Niko: Of course.

Roman: We will have no more problems from now on, cousin. It is all plain sailing straight to the top for you and me.

Niko: We will see if things are that simple.

(Niko drops Roman off at the depot)

Roman: Thank you, cousin, I'll see you later.

Alternative dialogue

(Niko and Roman get in the car and chase Dardan)

Roman: Ever since I get to Hove Beach, Niko, ever since I arrive here I have been pushed around. Vlad, Dardan, Bledar, even Mallorie push me around. Me and you, Niko, me and you going to be in control from now on. Ain't going to let no one push us around. Going to stand up to all these pimps and loan sharks from now on. Liberty City won't know what hit it, man. We going to own this town, Niko. Mark the words that are coming out of my mouth.

(Niko goes back to Roman)

Niko: Dardan ain't a problem for you no more, cousin.

Niko: What is it?

Roman: I think he broke my rib. Man that hurts. Shit. I need a massage. We should go out and find some ladies, get some massage oil.

Niko: What about Mallorie, Roman? You shouldn't stay with her if you want to have these threesomes.

Roman: It doesn't matter. Argh, I think I'm in too much pain anyway. Fuck.

Niko: You really are American. You don't even swear in our language.

Roman: You say this now, but soon even you will forget about the Old Country.

Niko: I saw bad things happen there. You do not know what it is that...

Roman: Urghgh... I think it must be two ribs. Those fucking punks. What were you saying?

Niko: It doesn't matter.
