That Special Someone/Script

The following is a script of the mission «That Special Someone» in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Contents

Pre mission phone call

U.L. Paper: Bellic, I have your man. He’s been flown in. We’re going to drop him in the airport cargo area for you.

Niko: No more jobs, is that it? Am I out?

U.L. Paper: You’re out. You’ve done good things for us and we are grateful. That said, I’ve given you a lot of protection. From here in, you’re alone. Goodbye.

Dialogue

(Niko calls Roman)

Niko: Roman, they’ve brought Darko Brevic into the country for me. This is almost over. I’m going to finish it.

Roman: Niko, you can’t do this alone. I’m coming with you. Come collect me from Firefly Island.

Niko: Alright, wait there for me.

(Niko goes to Roman and they heard towards Francis International Airport)

Roman: Cousin, there you are.

Niko: They are bringing him to the cargo bay at Francis International. I do not want to be late after I have waited so long.

Niko: Disappointment is not a consideration. I have not been the same man since the day that Darko betrayed us. Since I saw those things.

Roman: You lost a lot of friends that day, Niko. We both did.

Niko: In some way, our friends from the village were lucky. I lost myself that day too. Everything that was good and innocent in me died along with them. If I could live those hours again, I think I would have preferred to be buried in the pit along with everyone else. This is all that is left of me. What am I good at, Roman? What is my trade? I deal in death because that is all that is open to me.

Roman: I will tell you what you are good at, Niko. You are a good cousin and a good friend. You still have integrity. No matter what you say there is humanity in you. You still have the power to be good. It’s important that you believe that.

Niko: Maybe I will start to believe it when Darko is dead. That might give me some perspective.

Roman: This killing must stop sometime, Niko. Once this is done, then you must begin to forgive. Think about your future instead of the horrible things that have happened to you, to us, to all of us, in the past.

Niko: After this is done, then we can talk about forgiveness and redemption. Now is not the time for such conversation.

(Niko and Roman arrive at the airport.)

Niko: This is it. This is where it all ends.

(Darko is thrown out of a van by U.L. Paper informants. The van drives off, and Niko and Roman approach the bound Darko)

Niko: You remember me?

Darko: Leave me alone, I don’t know you. I don’t know you.

(Niko leans down and grabs hold of Darko)

Niko: Yes you do. I’m the one, who survived.

Darko: Niko. hello.

Niko: Just tell me why.

Niko: We were friends. We were all friends. We all grew up together. Dmitar, Dragan, Goran, Mijo. should I go on and name them all?

Darko: We were friends, but I had other friends!

(Darko rolls away from Niko and struggles to stand with his hands still bound behind his back)

(Darko approaches Niko and gets in his face)

Darko: Because of what? Because of shit!

(Darko turns and walks towards Roman, getting in his face)

Niko: So that makes it ok. To stab your friends in the back?

(Darko stumbles back)

Darko: When everything you believe is shown to be shit, you make strange choices I guess.

(Niko grabs Darko and pulls him closer)

(Darko laughs and stumbles back)

Darko: A thousand.

(Niko lets go and steps back, distraught)

Niko: You killed my friends for one thousand dollars?

Darko: How much do you charge to kill someone?

Darko: I needed the money. I had problems.

(Darko falls to his knees)

Darko: Kill me then! You were always a hypocrite. Trust me, you’ll be doing me a favor!

(Darko continues crying, struggles and stands again)

Roman: Let’s go cousin.

Roman: It seems like living will be more painful for him than death. Let’s go.

Roman: Leave him. He’s not worth wasting your energy on.

Roman: Come on, Niko. It’s time to go.

Roman: We should go, Niko. You’ve seen what happened to him.

Darko: Where am I? What is this place? You say I ruined you? You were always a killer! I just helped you see that! I’m lost. I’m lost!

(The player is then given the choice to either kill or spare Darko)

Darko spared

(Niko walks away and allows Darko to live)

Roman: Will you take me over to Brucie’s house?

(Niko and Roman enter a vehicle)

Niko: I’m turning this shit off, I can’t take listening to those annoying ads and DJs right now.

Roman: You did the right thing, Niko. It is not often that a man can be sure of that but you definitely did the right thing. Be proud of yourself.

Roman: There’s no need to take that tone, cousin.

Niko: I’m sorry if my tone offends you, Roman. But this has been a very difficult moment for me. It took every fiber of my being pulling in the same direction, not to kill Darko, to not get revenge for all those lives he took away.

Roman: What made you spare him, Niko?

Niko: I don’t know. I wanted it for so long. He would just be dead like everyone else from our village. I was the one that survived the first attack. Living is not easy.

Niko: I would live through killing Darko as well, but then, when I looked at him, I realized that nothing would change if I killed him, revenge would not somehow shut the book on what I have seen. Only those who die get closure, the living do not.

Roman: So, you keep living and you try to have a happy life. You try to move on.

Niko: I try to, yes.

Darko killed

(Niko shoots Darko four times and he falls to his knees. He then shoots him three more times and he falls on his back. He is then shot five more times, killing him)

Niko: You piece of shit. That was for everyone. That was for me.

Roman: Okay, Niko. It’s over. It’s all over now. Leave him there. We should go before anyone turns up. Will you take me over to Brucie’s house?

Niko: I’m turning this shit off, I can’t take listening to those annoying ads and DJs right now.

Roman: There you go, you got your revenge. How does it feel?

Niko: I don’t know how it feels. I’m trying to take it all in.

Roman: This is the moment you’ve been waiting for for so long, Niko. What do you mean you don’t know how you feel?

Niko: I mean I don’t know. I feel empty, okay? I feel empty.

Roman: That’s something, at least.

Niko: No Roman, it’s nothing. The emptiness is what I was trying to get rid of by finding Darko. I’ve been empty ever since that day. I thought that revenge, that killing Darko, might fill me up a bit. It might five me some substance.

Roman: And it hasn’t?

Niko: No, it hasn’t. Does that make you happy?

Roman: Of course it doesn’t make me happy but maybe this is good for you. Maybe now that you know that revenge is not what you are after you can look for fulfillment in other places. Healthy ones.

Niko: Maybe. maybe. I don’t know.

(After the player makes their decision, Niko takes Roman to Brucie’s apartment)

Roman: Here we are, do you want to come in and hang with Brucie?

Niko: No, I need to be alone. Thank you for being with me, cousin.

Roman: Do not mention it. Call me, Niko. The wedding is soon.

Alternate dialogue

Roman: Darko Brevic, here in Liberty City. You have worked hard to make this happen.

Niko: Every moment since our friends from the village were killed, I have worked to find out who it was that betrayed us. And when I knew, everything I’ve done has been to find that person.

Roman: I know, Niko.

Niko: It was weeks after the massacre that I realized that we must have been give up by someone in our group. by someone from our own village. I had to go back to the pit where the bodies were dumped. I had to count the ripe corpses and to see who was missing.

Roman: Niko, I know.

Niko: That wasn’t something the old me could have done, but losing those friends, seeing them cut down in their prime. It hardened me, it made me cold.

Niko: He will be enough of that man to justify what I have to do to him. Be assured of that, cousin.

Post mission phone calls

Bernie

Darko spared

Niko: Florian, I thought you should let you know, I found Darko. The guilt has destroyed him. I don’t know. Somehow it was better to walk away.

Florian: You know what, I’m really proud of you, Niko Bellic. After what we’ve had to live with these last twelve or thirteen years, I know how much it hurt you, and you walked away. I know this must be hard for you, but you won, Niko. You really did. We’ve got to celebrate. You’re free now. maybe a spa day?

Niko: Sure, whatever. I’ll speak to you soon, Bernie.

Darko killed

Niko: Florian, I thought you should know, Darko is dead. He’s finally paid for his crimes.

Bernie: That’s good to know, Niks. You should let go of it now. You have a new life in America, forget the past.

Niko: Sometimes I think my past is all I got. So long. You look after yourself.

Pegorino

Pegorino: Niko, the shit has gone down. I need to see you. Come to the club in Tudor.

Niko: Alright Mr. Pegorino, I’ll see you there.

Unused dialogue

(Dialogue which isn’t heard in-game)

Roman: Come on you stupid thing.

Roman: Fine, keep it. Plenty more quarters where that came from.

Patrick: How about we go drinking?

Niko: I can’t, Packie. I might have found what I was looking for all this time.

Patrick: Man, it’s Packie calling.

Niko: Maybe I’ll feel like getting drunk later though.

How to find that special someone: Your co-founder

by Pejman Pour-Moezzi on April 8, 2012 at 9:46 pm April 8, 2012 at 9:46 pm

My fiancee isn’t the jealous type but she likes to joke that I’m already married to my co-founder. Paul and I are three weeks into working full-time on our startup (details TBA), and we’re spending a ridiculous amount of time together. We’re bootstrapping, so that means working everyday out of his living room. We buy groceries together, we cook for each other, and so in a funny way she’s kind of right.

The co-founder relationship is an intense one. You are together for long stretches, working under high levels of uncertainty and risk. Stress levels are high, but I couldn’t imagine going at it alone. A good co-founder, like a good spouse, is a balancing force. But just like getting married, it’s not something to just rush into.

In this post I’d like to share some of things I’ve learned about finding that special someone — your co-founder.

TAKE THINGS SLOW

Too often the search for a co-founder is a rushed one. You have a great idea, and decide over coffee or a phone call that a friend that you respect, but have never really worked with, will be your co-founder. This is risky as you now have an unproven idea and an unproven partnership.

Ideally, the co-founder should come before the idea. The truth is that a great partner is harder to find than a great idea, so expect to invest time in this. Paul and I spent over a year working on weekend projects before we decided to go after something full-time. We spent much of that time building random things like a portfolio site, Twitter clones, and SMS applications. None of theses projects really mattered; they were simply a means for us to work through technical and design problems together — the kinds of things that co-founders deal with everyday.

Projects are like dating for entrepreneurs. Make sure to go on plenty of “dates” with someone before you start calling them your co-founder.

WRITE EACH OTHER LOVE LETTERS

At some point after Paul and I got a few projects under our belts, we started seriously thinking through ideas we could see ourselves pursuing full-time. When we finally landed on one, we took one additional step: we wrote each other really long emails.

The importance of open communication and transparency between co-founders cannot be overstated. Your agility and effectiveness as a company is largely determined by how aligned the founders are. That doesn’t mean you have to agree on everything; but you should absolutely get your viewpoints out in the open and debate them.

Paul and I took this head on by creating a list of questions we wanted one another to answer. These are some of the questions we addressed in our emails:

* How does work fit into your life? What do you seek from it?
* What are your good/better/best outcomes for this company?
* How do you envision us working towards that vision while we are at our current jobs? (e.g., specifics on schedule, projects)
* What will you need in place in order to leave your current job? (e.g., specifics on savings, traction, timing)
* What are your strengths and weaknesses?
* Why do you want to work with me?

The emails were several pages long, and the conversations they spawned were priceless. I heartily recommend creating your own question list and going through this exercise with your prospective co-founder. It will help drive alignment for the long journey ahead.

TAKE TIME TO APPRECIATE ONE ANOTHER

Finally, don’t fall into the trap of thinking that a strong partnership is based solely on the bonds you build upfront. Ask any person in a happy marriage and they will tell you how much the relationship continues to grow even after tying the knot. The same is true for co-founders. You must not let the mountain of work ahead of you blind you to the other person’s well-being.

My advice here is two-fold. First, make it a point to celebrate successes. You will be shocked at just how far simple statements like: “You did an awesome job with that” go in creating a positive work environment.

Second, set a dedicated time each week to talk solely about your work culture. Paul and I allot 30 minutes on Fridays to this. Having a blocked time forces us to open up; otherwise we’d just be sitting in silence. These weekly chats help blow off steam as well drive course corrections before bigger issues develop.

CONCLUSION

There’s a reason that many of the great tech companies were founded by two people: Bill and Paul. Larry and Sergey. Steve and Steve. Strong partnerships are always greater than the sum of their parts. We should all seek out people that make us better and unlock new possibilities.

But we should do it with deference: Put in the time to get to know each other, align on your convictions, continue to nurture the relationship and there’s no limit to the things you can build together.

Looking for that Special Someone

Looking for That Special Someone is the title of the second official trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV, released by Rockstar Games on 28th June 2007. It shows in detail the gameplay and improved graphics that the game has to offer.

The trailer shows more gameplay and animation; including speech, driving and weapons fire; the characters also appear to have visible fingers for the first time. Some of the new effects include Niko hanging on the back of a truck while it’s driving, and hanging from the platform of a helicopter. Also, some of the trees in the trailer appear to be brown, another indicator that seasons may play a part (particularly Fall). Reflections can also be seen, including in a wing mirror.

Several references to previous GTA games can be seen, including a Binco clothes shop and graffiti of El Burro. Some familiar vehicles can also be seen including a Stallion and a Voodoo.

Post-analysis

This detailed analysis is made after the release of the game. Every scene within the trailer is labeled in the table.

Finding That Special Someone

A Survivor Revisits the Boy-Girl Romance Business

By Charles Moore

February 5, 2010

Francisco Villalta

Wow, this is a very true article. I’m a young adult and I have tried so hard to look for that special someone. And sometimes I forget that God has the perfect girl for me.

Sharon Henning

Excellent article. I’m saving for my 15 year old son to read. A girl had been pressuring him (at church youth group!) to be her boyfriend. She told him that she wanted to be his first kiss. My son told her that his wife was going to be his first kiss.

Beth Rapach

My husband and I have been working our way through a «growth period» (ie rough patch!) and I truly see and know that our love and marriage wouldnt survive without inviting God in. I totally agree with the author! I worry and wonder about how to help young people learn to relate to each other in a more natural way in our society. Thanks for offering an alternative.

What happens when a parent chooses a partner for their child and that form of «pairing off» is not successful? Do you feel the young adult must persevere in that relationship because the parent knows him/her best? Mr. Moore’s article was indeed thought provoking. Everything he says make sense. Marriage is a union, not a pairing off. Love, real unconditional unwavering love, takes time. These are all true statements. However, without the romance Mr.Moore does not believe in, the idea of finding a partner sounds more like a business venture. The human heart will seek a way to be happy. I believe with my whole heart that God puts us where we need to be to find this love. Only you can know what does and does not make you happy. From this happiness and joy in having found God’s plan for you, comes the unwavering strength to handle life’s difficulties. God, as any parent would, wants us to find joy in this life. That is why He gave us hearts and minds.

Pam was my first real girlfriend. She had long, blond, wavy hair and a pixie nose. She was bouncy and always seemed to have a crowd of friends around her. What a moment it was when I showed my family Pam’s picture. Oh, how my dad and brothers “oohed” and “aahed”! I was seven years old.

Try as I might, it was six more years before I had another girl to call my own. By then I had severe doubts about myself. Without a girlfriend I never quite felt “cool” enough. But at the end of sixth grade my anxiety finally lifted. One day at recess I got my nerve up to give my St. Christopher’s necklace to a girl who I thought really liked me. I can still recall how Laura put it around her neck – her way of saying, “Yes, I’ll be yours.” Less than a week into the summer I received my necklace back in an envelope in the mail. No note, but an emphatic message. I was devastated.

The litany of lost loves in my life continued throughout high school and college – a typical story of looking, trying, imbibing, then moving on. Most of us have been through the forming and then dissolving of many “special relationships.” We have chased the wind of romance, often with a vengeance, and assumed the chase was just a part of life, part of what it means to be man or woman, part of growing up.

Being “hooked up” is not a harmless social custom. By its nature, pairing off is geared toward obtaining intimacy without sacrifice, relationship without commitment. It reduces the art, the struggle, and the discipline of knowing and caring for another person to a ritual performance of hooking up and breaking apart.

So why is pairing off so prevalent in our culture? Part of the reason is a set of myths we hold about love and romance. We believe that happiness depends on being in an emotionally driven and sexually active relationship. We think that our well-being, and even our worth, depends on whether or not we are possessing and being possessed by another. If only I had that special someone, my life would be fulfilled!

That special someone, however, is little more than a placeholder for a certain feeling – a visceral emotion that has little to do with our deepest longing. Whether or not this feeling lasts is less important than that it exists. It is the feeling, not the other person that really matters. In this sense, love is “blind.” How well two people know each other does not matter as much as whether it “feels right” to be together or not.

Whether it feels right to be together is, according to this popular understanding of love, largely outside one’s control. This kind of love, like magic, just happens; it sweeps one away in an ocean current of overwhelming rush. It is neither duty-bound nor constrained by willpower. This kind of love is supposed to make it easy, or at least easier, to be with another person.

But none of this has much to do with real love. God’s love, of which married love is but a symbol, is unconditional – it is lasting, faithful, forbearing, and committed. It is not about an experience or a feeling, nor even about the dynamics of relationship, but about a way of being, a way of giving. Marriage and family should be built on a love that is rooted not in what is immediate or transitory, but in what is lasting and unwavering.

Loving someone is hard work, not because it is a duty, but because it demands that we enter the battle between good and evil that lies within each of us, and that we seek to overcome the evil with good. In short, love compels us to consider the other person’s need before our own.

How then should young people nurture healthy relationships with each other? I have found that is takes parents and friends working together. In the community of which I am a part, dating and pairing off are not allowed. Instead, young people are given opportunities for positive, natural exchanges in daily settings of working, playing games, relaxing, singing together, celebrating and spending time with each other in family settings.

More importantly, they are taught and reminded that Christ – not romance, nor marriage – must be at the center of every relationship. Toward that end they receive the spiritual guidance of parents and pastors. Without this it is extremely difficult for two people getting to know each other to keep their priorities straight. Only when two people – and those they have confided in – feel that God has drawn them together are they ready to seek marriage.

By rejecting the common practice of pairing off and replacing it with a caring community, the need for companionship can be filled, lustful temptations tempered, and the battle against loneliness won for every person. Boys and girls, young men and young women can relate naturally with each other, free of adult agendas and of having to obsessively eye each other. They can be given time to mature and gain a healthy sexual identity without having to perform or give away what is meant for marriage. And though the struggle against superficiality and sexual temptation always remains, it need not overwhelm or engulf them in a maddening cycle of lost loves. If and when the time comes, they will be ready for that special someone. They will be ready to become one – not a pair but a union for life.
