Transcript
At the V-Rock Recording Studio, Jezz Torrent is finishing up the vocals for a Love Fist song in the recording booth, with Kent Paul and the rest of the band outside the booth.
Jezz: ♪Alriiiiight!♪
Paul: Yes! Brilliant, bloody brilliant!
Tommy Vercetti walks in as the song ends.
Paul: Hey, Tommy, glad you could make it! Hey, you ever met Love Fist before?
Tommy: No, I haven't, but I've always loved your music.
Paul: Let me introduce you to the band. This is P-Percy, Dick, uh, Willy's in the kaze, and that was Jezz in the booth earlier, and guys, I want you to meet a good friend of mine. This is Tommy, we go way back.
Jezz: Alright, pal. And, uh, what was your name again? (chuckles)
Paul: Leave it out, Jezz. You remember, don't be playin' games with me, mate. I'm too crafty for that, sunshine!
Jezz: (not in subtitles) English prick...
Paul: You see, the thing is, Tom, the boys need some help. They ain't too connected here, they don't have the old 'how's your father'...
Jezz: We need some drugs, pal! Gonna get on the old Love Fist fury, you know?!
Paul: (not in subtitles) Yeah!
Tommy: Well, this is Vice City, man. What's the problem?
Dick: Love Juice, man!
Percy: We need Love Juice, man, kent?
Tommy: Love Juice?
Jezz: Aye, two parts boomshine, 1 part trumpet, 5 fizz bombs and a liter of petrol. Can you help us out, pal? Aw, it would really mean a lot to the boys.
Paul: You could do that for the boys, right?
Tommy leaves the studio and goes to get the ingredients for Love Juice from a dealer in Downtown.
Dealer: Looking for something special? I've got what you need! Thanks for the money, sucker!
The dealer attemps to flee on a PCJ 600, but Tommy chases him down, kills him, and gets the ingredients. Upon doing so, Tommy receives a phone call from Kent Paul.
Paul
(Voice only):
Hey, mate. The guys could do with some company, if you know what I mean...
Tommy: I know just the girl.
Tommy heads to get Mercedes Cortez from her apartment in Vice Point.
Tommy: Hey, Mercedes!
Mercedes: Hiya, Tommy, and how are you?
Tommy: Just fine. Listen, you fancy having Love Fist?
Mercedes: OK, but just as a favor I expect returned.
Tommy quickly drives Mercedes over to the recording studio to meet Love Fist before the band goes on stage.
Mercedes: I see you later, big boy.
Mercedes leaves the vehicle and walks into the recording studio.


Post mission phone call

Kent Paul: How you doin' mate? It's Paulo again. Look Tommy, I forgot to mention we're going to need some extra muscle for the concert. A bit of security. There's a biker gang led by Mitch Baker, it would be great publicity. Very rock and roll, baby. Sort this out for me and I'll get you some back stage passes for the gig, alright?

Bugs

  • On some occasions, after sounding the horn to call the drug dealer, the drug dealer will not appear but his dialogue and voice plays. Then, the game softlocks.
  • If the player drives a one-seated vehicle into the marker (for example, a Pizza Boy), Mercedes won't be able to enter it, and the game will softlock.
  • When landing a Maverick into the marker (When picking up Mercedes), sometimes, the Maverick will not land completely and when Mercedes attempts to enter it, she will get bumped by the helicopter and drops down the floor. When she stands, she freezes and the player's game is softlocked. This can also happen if the player tries picking her up in a one-seated vehicle.
  • One should be careful when landing next to Mercedes as the blades could decapitate her.
  • Another similar glitch occurs if the car that the player is driving flips upside-down during the cutscene where the player picks up Mercedes. The dialogue will play, but she will not be able to enter the car, and Tommy cannot exit the vehicle. The only way to close the game is to force-close it.[1]

Trivia

  • The place where Tommy and the drug dealer meet is the Easter Egg Building.
  • Contrary to Guardian Angels, the player can blow up the motorcycle of the drug dealer and still retrieve the stuff. However, if the dealer has exited the bike and is killed by the explosion or fire, the stuff will get destroyed, failing the mission.
