| I.3. About The FAQ |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Welcome to my Vice City Hidden Text FAQ! This FAQ goes over the large
amount of text that was written up but was not used in the game but was
buried instead of removed. This was also done on GTA3 and San Andreas. Vice
City has more hidden text than GTA3 but has far less than San Andreas.
The material being presented here is actual text found on the game disc in
the file called "american.gxt". I did not make any of it up and if you put it
your computer and open it up in a text editor you can see it for yourself.
What I have done here is sort everything out as best I could so I can
properly present it. In the process of sorting the text I tried to find out
who says what and what was supposed to happen within the sequence of events.
Some of the text was easy to sort through and some of it was very difficult.
Originally I placed the Hidden Text section at the end of my Vice City guide.
But after the success of my San Andreas Hidden Text FAQ I decided to put the
hidden text from Vice City into its own FAQ so I can streamline my Vice City
guide.

| II.1. The Introduction |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
For starters here's an slightly different version of the opening movie text
(taken from where Ken picks up Tommy at the Airport):
Ken: "Hey, hey, guys! It's, uh, Ken Rosenberg here! Hey! Heh, heh, hey,
great, hey! Well, uh, I'm gonna drive you guys to the meet, okay? Now,
I've talked to the suppliers and they are very, huh-ha, keen to start a
business relationship, so, uh, if all goes well, we should, uh, be
doing very nicely for ourselves, which is, y'know... good.. Okay, so.
They're brothers, okay. One operates the uh, the business, and the
other one does the flying. Now they operate out of Mexico, They own a
farm in Panama. Okay, all right, listen - you guys, when we get there
should I stay in the car, or do you guys want me to come in with you
guys?"
Tommy: "No. Stay in the car."
Ken: "You know what, I thought about it, I'm gonna watch the car."
.....later, at the meet:
Ken: "Ok, that's them in the chopper. All right, here's the deal. They want a
straight exchange on open ground. All right? Ok. Stay tight, let's go.
All right. Take it easy, now. I'm right here. The cars running, baby!
Got it?"
Dealer: "100% pure grade-A Colombian, my friend. The greens?"
Tommy: "Tens and twenties...used."
.....then, the ambush:
Tommy: "Go on, get out of here! Drive!"
......back at Ken's office:
Ken: "Screwed! We're screwed! This is soo typical, I poke my head out of the
gutter for one freakin' second, and fate shovels shit in my face! Well,
screw you!"
Tommy: "Shut your face and quit complaining! You're alive, aren't ya'? Drop
me right up here. Go dump the car, then go get some sleep. I'll drop
by your office tomorrow and we can start sorting this mess out."
Ken: "OK, that's a good idea, I'll get some sleep. What are you gonna do?"
Tommy: "Make my way back to my hotel, clear my head, and figure this crap
out. OK."

| II.2. Another Mission From Avery |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Avery Carrington had some additional work you could've done:
Avery: "Hey Tommy, it's Avery! Now listen, I got me all tied up at the moment
and I have a representative of mine needs chaperoning out to the
Gator Keys. I'm after some land out that way, so I'm sending someone
out to sweeten the deal. Could you do me a favor and make sure he
gets there ok?"
Tommy: "Yeah, sure thing Avery. Where'd you want me to pick him up?"
Avery: "He's just finishing some business at the building site. I said you'd
pick him up from there."
Tommy: "No problem. See you later, Avery."

| II.3. An Additional Mission For Diaz (?) |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
This group of text was bunched with some stuff concerning Diaz. I had a
couple of readers, Finke and Pawe, note that some of this text appears in the
missions "The Fastest Boat" (Ricardo Diaz) and "Rub Out" (Ricardo Diaz). But
it unclear at this time if all of this text is used in just those two
missions:
"Hope you fall and break your neck!"
"I'm sick of these pricks."
"See those marker boys? Try taking out the lights!"
"You sure is better at shooting than talking."
"Thanks. You're a real charmer yourself."
"I Know, Tommy."
"You cool with Kenny Loggins?"
"Hell, I love this record"
"You killed Lance!"
"Don't shoot, dude!"
"What's in this stuff?"
"He's taking the boat. Bummer."
"Help! Some square's stealing the boat, man!"
"Uugghh! That's the last of them."
"I'm going to start her up."
"I think we've got some new friends."
"Yeah."
"Do you know where we're going?"
"Are we lost?"
"We got some competition!"
"Take 'em out!"
"It's time for the Lance Vance Dance!"
"They're matchwood! And fish food."
"We made it! Those other boats ain't VIP class."
"They're getting desperate!"
"My damn feet are wet! WE'RE TAKING ON WATER!"
"Bridge coming up!"
"Bail out, she's about to blow!"
"Good shooting."
"You killed Lance!"
"Go on Tommy, I'll be ok!"
"Eat this, you murdering bastards!!"
"I'm pinned down!"
"I got you covered Tommy!"
"Hey, this is a real nice herbaceous border."
"Hey Tommy, can my room have a view of the bay?"
"Beautiful high ceilings in here...Lance! I need cover!"
"Diaz must be inside!"
"Lance!"

| II.4. Ken Rosenberg's Advice |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Then there's this piece of advice from Ken Rosenberg after you start
acquiring properties:
Ken: "Hey Tommy, I thought you might need some business advice. Once you got
an operation up and running, you'll need to drop by and take the week's
cash. Let the guys think they got the run of the place and they'll try
shaving the profits - ok?"
Tommy: "Hey, I know how to handle business, Ken, ok?"
Ken: "Ok, ok. I know, you know. I know. I was, I was just, you know, telling
you I know, that you know, that I know. Just keeping it sharp baby!"
Tommy: "Whatever, Ken, whatever..."

| II.5. Conversations With Kent Paul |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Rockstar had some additional conversations between Kent Paul and Tommy that
were dropped for some reason:
0===============0
| Conversation 1 \
0=================0
Kent: "Hey there Tommy, you're gonna love me mate. A little birdy told me
that Vice City SWAT Division has a deposit box at a certain rather
large banking establishment, where they keep all the bribes they've
taken over the years, like some kind of old boys' retirement fund. Of
course, if this information should ever help you acquire any of that
cash, I guess you'd feel obliged to push some of it my way?"
Tommy: "I'll bear that in mind, thanks Kent."
Kent: "It's Paul. I'm from Kent, near London, you prat."
Tommy: "My provincial English geography ain't what it was."
(Note: This might explain the "SWAT Retirement Fund" line within "The Job"
(Malibu Club Asset))
0===============0
| Conversation 2 \
0=================0
Kent: "Tommy, mate, it's Paul, from Kent, a couple of proper sorts have your
name written all over them, down at the Malibu."
Tommy: "What are you talking about?"
Kent: "Sorts. Birds. You know. Girls. Tastey ones, don't think they're
brasses or nothing. You gotta come check them out."
0===============0
| Conversation 3 \
0=================0
Kent: "Tommy V, It's KP here. Kent Paul. Word on the street is people want to
rip you off. Keep your eye's peeled, my son. And remember, I didn't
say nothing to you about this."

| II.6. An Introduction From Umberto Robina |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Rockstar had an alternate version of the initial phone call between Tommy and
Umberto Robina:
Umberto: "Hello, is this Mr. Tommy Vercetti?"
Tommy: "Yes."
Umberto: "Well, I hear through the vine of grapes you the man when someone
got a vermin infestation."
Tommy: "Maybe..."
Umberto: "Well, I got a real vermin infestation. Haitians everywhere. My name
is Umberto Robina and I want you to meet me at the Cafe Robina as
soon as you can, 'cause I tell you, these damn Haitians gone too
far this time."
