Joker: ………
Niko: I’m already over the fact that you didn’t whistle. ...But why did you run afterwards?
Joker: ………
Niko: ...I was gonna make you eat my fucking fist once we’d meet again. Maybe that could’ve been the end of that.

Gerard: ...You thought everyone died, didn’t you? That’s why you didn’t want to come back here?
Joker: Something… like that.
Joker: Something… like that.

Niko: You…
Joker: ...Are you mad at me?
Niko: Tsk!? Of course I am!?

Niko: ...Why are you just standing there? Are you too fucking scared to lift even a single finger? Huh!?

Niko: Am I the only one that thought we were fucking equals!?

Joker: S… Shut up.
Niko: ...What?
Joker: The first time we met… I thought you were so reckless...
Joker: Even though I told you to leave me alone… you insisted on talking to me…
Niko: ...What the fuck?
Joker: ...Were you just being nice? You looked so cool at first…
Joker: ...But you’re just a LOSER!!
