Marcus Vercetti: steps closer, eyes narrow WHY DID YOU BETRAY ME?
Sacrifices? Like killing innocent people? That's what you're getting at, right? Well, let me tell you something - in this world, innocence is a weakness.
We all sacrifice to survive. To achieve our goals.
Oh, so now you understand the sacrifices I've made to become the man I am today? You think you understand what it takes to run this city?
I don’t need to understand what it takes to run a city. I understand what it takes to survive and thrive.
Oh really? Then tell me, what sacrifices have you made to survive and thrive in this cruel world?
I’ve survived without killing anyone. And I’ve thrived by working hard and earning my spot.
Working hard and earning your spot? That's cute. In my world, it's about survival of the fittest. And if you want to survive, you gotta do whatever it takes.
Whatever it takes can sometimes mean working together.
Working together? You think you can trust people in this world? Everyone's out for themselves, kid. They'll stab you in the back the second they get the chance.
Maybe. But sometimes, working together can create opportunities for everyone.
Opportunities? In this world, opportunities are rare. You have to fight tooth and nail for everything you get. And if you slack off even for a second, someone will take your spot.
That’s fine. I don’t mind others taking your spot.
You think you can just waltz into my world and act all high and mighty with your talk about working hard and opportunities? Well, let me tell you something, kid.
Let me tell you something: in this world, it's not enough to just work hard. You gotta be smart, you gotta be ruthless. And you gotta be ready to do whatever it takes to survive.
It still seems like you’re forgetting something…
That’s not a way to live.
Not a way to live? Are you trying to lecture me on morality? Kid, you don't understand the first thing about survival in this city.
