LATER:

Peg: Niko - good to see you.

Niko: And you. How are you?

Peg: Eh, eh. Fucking terrible. We've got legal problems, all kinds of crap. You know how things have gone.

Niko: I've heard some things.

Peg: You get close to your dream, then something holds you back. No! Well, Commission or no Commission, I ain't gonna starve. People don't want me around, they don't have to have me. But I know how to earn. I need a favor.

Niko; Here we go.

Peg: Fuck you - I looked out for you. And I'll pay good. Real good. But I need you to do something. I need you to collect that H, I got some Russians who have a buyer.

Niko: Russians?

Peg: Yeah... Dimitri Rascalov.

Niko: No. We've got history.

Peg: I know... but this is real. I need you.

Niko: Real? What the fuck is real? Real because it's you?

Peg: Real because it's my last chance.

Niko: Then good luck.

Peg: No. I need you to get that H. I need the money. I looked out for you, you know. People wanted to what you, I said no. Now, I need you. And I'll pay a lot of money.

Niko:

Listen, Mr. Pegorino. I already told you. I got history...

Peg: No, you listen, you dumb immigrant fuck. I ain't asking you. I'm telling you. Do this! Get over your principles, these guys don't hold grudges. Do it - or you and me are gonna have a problem... (Niko emotionlessly stares at him)... Look, Phil will look after you. You won't even have to deal with the fucking Russians. He's waiting for you down in Tudor.

Niko: Alright.

Peg: I knew I could count on you. [to Tommy] Hey, how about that drink?

Niko: (in head) I still don't trust Dimitri.. Wouldn't hurt to have ONE last person.

Niko: And that's why I need you

Dash: (outside Packie's house).. But never said anything.. You came over, knocked on my door. and said "and that's why I need you".

Niko: Fine..

(One explanation later).

Niko: And THAT'S whyI need you.

Dash: Russians huh?.. You seem to be popular among them.

Niko: very funny... Now will you come or not?

Dash: Well.. I'm kinda hanging with Packi-

Packie: (off view) Hey Dashie... Wanna watch Adventure Time?

Dash: ... Never mind let's go. (leaves with Niko).
