Hello, I'm Niko Bellic. And I'm in charge of the Cargo Bay...

Except, I do not think I want to be. I have been working there for eleven months. [Back when he wanted to avoid fighting, when he wanted to attempt his route of being peaceful and avoid conflict, it had been helpful. Even more so when he wanted to avoid his initial job in the then-existent bar; yes, he sometimes drinks, but he couldn't tolerate the constant presence of habitual drunkards. Alcoholism never left good impressions with him. Being given the Cargo Bay position had been great. He had quiet time, could drive loaders, could do mindless work. But now? Not so much...] If I go, though, there will be very few other workers to handle everything. [And he's not such a prick that he'd leave them to suffer the work alone.] Would anyone be willing to go in there? Because I would like to do something else now.

Also after this whole ship rearranging thing, it has been a lot of work, I have done a lot of moving, and I would kind of like to play some darts or something. [This grumpy Serb just sounds tired as hell today.] Luckily a game that doesn't require any power to play.

Let me know, ah?

That big one that is kind of a teardrop shape? Yeah, I know that one.

Where did you get it? It's a pretty good looking ship.

[It's big and it looks like it can be roughed up- that's Niko's definition of "good looking". He doesn't know what the qualifiers are for Han's neck of the woods.]

[Flattery will get you everywhere, Niko, if it's aimed at his ship. It's obvious from the pleased look on his face that he appreciates the compliment. Han Solo is ridiculously proud of that rustbucket of his.]

I won it in a card game.

[The bragging tone is also pretty obvious. Subtlety is not his game.]

She's the fastest ship in the galaxy. Our galaxy. I don't know yet about this one.

See, if it had been my cousin? He would have lost it, and I would have had to kill or grievously injure some guy to get it back.

[He'll add in grievously injure in case Han isn't too fond of the idea of killing, but yeah Niko would straight up kill someone who took things from his cousin.]

He definitely would have lost. I hope you have better luck with debt collectors.

The guy I won it off lost it fair and square. We get along.

[Mostly.

No, entirely, these days.]

Debt collectors... That's another thing.

Most of the debt collectors I know are assholes. I am certain, because I've been hired as one. Whenever I do it? I feel like an asshole.

I've had to beat them up, too, when they come for my cousin.

[No guilt there.]

Lucky they can't find you here. Or even if they did is not like they are able to do anything about it.

Exactly. A bounty doesn't mean much if there's no one around to pay up.
