Tina Carlyle:
Thanks.
Stanley Ipkiss: For what?
Tina Carlyle: Lots of things. Sharing the sunset with me. For being the only guy whose ever treated me like a person and not some sort of party favor. For being any kind of romantic. Even a hopeless one.
Stanley Ipkiss: You're welcome.
Tina Carlyle: You know that night at the club? I knew I'd found someone special.
Stanley Ipkiss: [rolls his eyes] The Mask.
Tina Carlyle: No, it was the guy inside the mask. It was you all along. You, Stanley Ip... kiss.
[they go to kiss when the guard interrupts them]

Niko's Golf Game:
[Niko hits a golf ball, it lands in a virtual reality golf game screen] 198 yards.
Niko: [turns to see that Dorian has arrived] Hello, Dorian. Thanks for dropping by.
Dorian Tyrell: Well, next time why don't you call, alright? Leave these delivery boys at home.
[Niko grins at the thugs evilly, they force Dorian to ground, and one of them laughs as the other places a wooden tee in Dorian's mouth. He spits the tee out. One of them takes a gun out and holds it to Dorian's head, the other looks at Niko who nods, then places another tee in Dorian's mouth and puts a golf ball on it]
Niko: [swings club slowly] The cops, ah... tried to shut the club down this morning. They say you've been running the place to make your own small-time scams. I hear things like that, and I start losing my concentration. And my game, it goes straight to HELL!
[pulls the club back for swing]
Niko: You could, too.
[swings and hits the ball]
Dorian Tyrell: Oh, ow!
Niko's Golf Game: 205 yards.
Niko: I'm fed up with you, Dorian. But I'm gonna cut you a break. One week to get out of town.
[brushing Dorian's cheek with the club]
Niko: After that, I'll use your empty little skull to break in my new 9-iron.
[smacks the club away from his face, lifts Dorian up roughly and escorts him out of office]
