The Exchange is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by Ricardo Diaz from his mansion on Starfish Island, Vice City.

Mission

Victor Vance was ordered to steal some of Gonzalez' drugs by Diaz and Diaz has made a deal with the DEA, sending his men to a meeting with the DEA where they'll give them 200 kg's of the cocaine and in return the DEA will give them heavy guns. Victor and a goon drive to the meeting point at the car-park in Downtown but are ambushed by Gonzalez' goons who kill one of the Diaz's gang members on roof tops using Sniper Rifle's. Victor then clears out the place and kills all the enemies before the DEA arrive. When the deal is made, Victor drives the truck with the guns to Diaz's mansion while being chased by Gonzalez' men, but he manages to make it.

Ricardo Diaz: Let me try. If I wanted to snort milk, I'd go suck a damn cow! Dickhead. Don't cut it so much!

Victor Vance: What are you doing?

Ricardo Diaz: I'm playing both sides. I make a little deal with the DEA. I hand over 200 kilos of that cocaine you and Quentin stole from Gonzalez... In exchange, they gonna give me some serious guns. Not like this toy...
