My favorite GTA3 bit.

I always think about this gag and want to immediately hear it again, but I never seem to have my iPod handy. So I'm embedding it here.

This is my favorite Grand Theft Auto 3 moment. It's two minutes from Chatterbox FM, when the activist calls in to invite Lazlow to a Liberty City rally. There's so many good lines in here. Text follows.

Lazlow: "Let's go over here to line 4, hello caller, what's your name?"

Jeff: "Jeff from Rockford."

Lazlow: "Hello Jeff, what's up?"

Jeff: "I want to tell you and your listeners about a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make a difference. There's a rally tomorrow evening at the park. Starting at 7. Although we'll be painting banners and singing songs and all day and all night to prepare for it. Then, when tens-of- thousands have gathered in the park, we're gonna march onto Town Hall. Lazlow, the people have spoken! And they have said 'no, not in my town!' So folks, if you're listening, and want to make a difference, get yourself down to the park, and prepare to bring democracy back to the people."

Lazlow: "So... what's this rally about, Jeff?"

Jeff: "It's about people standing up and being counted. It's about the future. It's about telling those morons in the suits 'no thanks! Not in my town! Not while I have a breath in my body and hope in my soul! I will not, I cannot let this pass!'"

Lazlow: "Let what pass?"

Jeff: "It's about grabbing the town by the balls and saying 'listen son, either put-up, or shut up! No more Mr. Nice-guy. No more easy solutions for difficult problems!' It's about what it means to be an American. It's about giving something back."

Lazlow: "Giving what back, Jeff?"

Jeff: "Hope! Dreams! Belief!"

Lazlow: "Belief in what, I mean, look Jeff, I... I admire your passion, really I do, but... what will people be marching for? Wh... what's your rally about!?"

Jeff: "It's about justice, Mr. Low! A chance to shine and make a difference! About thousands of people walking side-by-side as brother marchers. Only one thing on their minds - the chance to make a difference! Bring your friends! Nothing shows a man how much you mean to him more than the chance to walk together for justice! Bring your kids! They can paint signs, and we'll even have a face-painter, and a vegan barbeque. Bring your parents, dude, even the elderly care about tomorrow!"

Lazlow: "I understand that, it sounds like a great rally, but w..we're not a political station and you haven't really told us why people should do this...what is it about?!?"

Jeff: "Look... look, do you wanna help or not??"

Lazlow: "I don't know what I'm helping!"

Jeff: "You're helping America! What kind of patriot are you? It's a rally!!"

Lazlow: "You don't know what it's for, do you!?!"

Jeff: "It's for hope. Please come, everybody! It'll be real good!"

Lazlow: "All right, you fight the power, brother!"
