Dialogue: Gig: Greed Never Pays

Fixer

I see you were able to find the lockbreaker. Splendid work – keep it up. Closing the contract.

Fixer

V, I need you to acquire something. Only me, no client – so I expect quick and clean results.

You will be entering Tyger Claw territory – very high risk. More information attached.

Johnny

For the love of-- Ugh, couldn't I have been stuck in some model's skull? Or, I dunno, a fuckin' landscape architect?

V

What is it now, Johnny?

Johnny

Bein' dragged through roach-infested flophouses again! That's what.

V

Job's a job. Now what was that code...

Johnny

What a fucking shit-sty...

V

Wasn't slummin' it in squats, like, your whole "thing"?

Johnny

Sure, when I was skezzed out beyond all recognition.

V

Huh... Must be connected to those doors...

Johnny

Or a shitter flushing somewhere. Who knows.

V

Hey... hear that?

Johnny

Oh, I hear it all right. Just don't know why I should care.

V

Looks like Leah went to the Tyger Claws... behind Wako's back.

Johnny

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Claws aren't the deal-honorin' type...

V

Let's see if she got lucky.

Johnny

1ASecret doors. How cliché .

1AWhy do peeps have to be so goddamn predictable?

V

Bingo. Come to mama.

Johnny

Ha... and to think so many people died for this tiny, little shit-speck.

V

It's not the size that counts.

Johnny

Both you and I know no one actually believes that.

And here I thought I won the Darwin award... I guess we have a new winner.

Hmm. Reminds me of this one dive in Arroyo we used to sometimes do sets in Friday nights.

V

Because...?

Johnny

'Cause it was one tough fuckin' joint. One wrong word, one sideways glance and you'd get steel 'tween the ribs.
