Dialogue from Bustin' Out

A collection of Giuseppi's dialogue in The Sims: Bustin' Out. Not yet complete, but this is what we have so far.

• Introduction

  Hey hey. I'm Giuseppi Mezzoalto, business man and family guy. You need something, anything at all, I can get it... even if it belongs to someone else.

• Moving to the clock tower

  1. Player Sim

     Can you help me move?

  2. Giuseppi

     Can I? Or will I? Two very different questions, bro. Sure I CAN, but unless you got some simoleons, I won’t. Assuming you do though, let’s get crackin’!

  3. Player Sim

     I didn’t mean right this second...

  4. Giuseppi

     Cool bro, whatever, you come TALK when you’re serious... I might even stick around. Now scram.

• Ready to move?

  1. Player Sim

     I’m almost ready but...

  1. Player Sim

     Okay, I am ready.

  1. Giuseppi

     Are you kidding?! I have things to do, bro, and no time to waste with deadbeats like you. Now beat it.

  1. Giuseppi

     Rock and roll. Everything will be waitin’ for you in the <NEW PLACE>. Now, you can keep that CRATE for as long as you want and I’ll nab it when you’re done... but the SLOWER you move, the MORE it will COST, you dig?

• When moving

  1. Giuseppi

     Congratulations! I took the liberty of crating up your stuff and moving it to the new place. Unpack that crate fast... ’cause it’s mine and I charge weekly for it. Got it?

• Opening the steam tunnels

  1. Player Sim

     Sure would be nice to have a car in this town.

  2. Giuseppi

     Nicer still to have a kickin’ Van like mine, bro, but we can’t all be so lucky can we? But hey, if you’re looking to get somewhere quick, you should find one of the entrances to the STEAM TUNNELS running beneath the city.

  3. Player Sim

     A ’boss van’?

  4. Giuseppi

     If you’re thinking of buying one like this, forget it, man. This town’s not big enough to hold two vans as boss as mine. And neither is this game-cartridge.

  5. Player Sim

     Are you just messing with me?

  6. Giuseppi

     Man, would I lie? I recommend you get yourself a giant CROWBAR. And maybe the BLUEPRINTS that the city used to keep in the old CLOCK TOWER. Look for a trap door maybe. I mean, I know you’ve lived there for a while now, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you haven’t seen it yet.

  7. After opening the steam tunnels...
  8. Player Sim

     I opened the steam tunnels. Thanks!

  9. Giuseppi

     Excellent! I’ll talk to my guys and get those tunnel barricades removed. Now you can get from one end of this town quickly and easily, without being seen and- Hey... that give me an idea. *snicker* Beat it! I have work to do.

• Moving to the beach house

  1. Player Sim

     I need your help again.

  2. Giuseppi

     What? You’re moving again? Already? Boy you must be rolling in Simoleons or something, yeah?

  1. Player Sim

     No, I’m still moving on up.

  1. Player Sim

     Yeah, you could say I’m doing well.

  1. Giuseppi

     That’s too bad. Maybe you should get into my line of work.

  1. Giuseppi

     Really? I’ll have to stop by sometime... when you aren’t home! HA HA HA! I’m kidding, man, seriously.

  1. Giuseppi

     Anyway, you know the drill. The CRATE stays at your place, at your expense, until you say so. Let me know when you are ready to roll...

• Moving to the mansion at Imperial Estates

  1. Player Sim

     I’m moving to the mansion!

  2. Giuseppi

     Are you kidding me!? Now I KNOW you’re livin’ large, <Player Sim>! Don’t deny it.

  1. Player Sim

     No way, I can barely pay my bills.

  1. Player Sim

     Heck yeah! Now I’m richer than Daddy Bigbucks!

  1. Giuseppi

     Well if it isn’t you, then that Uncle of yours must be footing the bill. I had no idea your family was so... cozy.

  1. Giuseppi

     No kidding?! Well alright. I hope you’ll invite your dear friend Giuseppi over when you’re all moved in. Yeah?

  1. Giuseppi

     Anyway, I’ll be around when you are ready...

• Offering Giuseppi a gift

  1. Giuseppi

     No way, pal. Giuseppi doesn’t want that kind of stuff, got it?

• Delivering something for Giuseppi

  1. Player Sim

     • Need any errands done?
     • Is there anything to do?

  2. Giuseppi

     • Maybe I’ll take advantage of you some other time.
     • Sure, but keep this quiet! I need this, ah, briefcase delivered to <Recipient>. Make it snappy, okay?

  3. (Briefcase description) "The briefcase is locked, very heavy, and has a strange smell to it."

• Delivering something to Giuseppi on time

  1. Giuseppi

     For me? Hmmmm... suspicious. Oh well, here’s <Amount> Simoleons. Now get lost.

• Requesting a hug

  1. Player Sim

     • Need a hug? I do.
     • How about a hug?

  2. Giuseppi

     Sorry, not into that.

• Requesting a kiss

  1. Player Sim

     • Are you old enough for an R-rated kiss?
     • You’ve never felt anything like these lips.

  2. Giuseppi

     Nope, I’ve gotten plenty today already, baby.

  1. Player Sim

     • I’ve always wanted to kiss a convict.
     • I need a kiss... can you score me one?

  2. Giuseppi

     From you? No way.

• Request to be roommates

  1. Player Sim

     Want to move in with me?

  2. Giuseppi

     Move in with you? Why? You a cop? No way, man.

• Pissing him off too much

  1. Giuseppi

     That’s it! You’re in trouble! If you talk to me again, I’m calling a professional.

     • I’m moving up in the world.

• Dialogue about Giuseppi...

  1. Player Sim

     • (To Detective Dan) Psst! I think that Giuseppi guy is selling ferrets without a license.
     • (To Lottie Cash) Giuseppi sells cool things at cheap prices.

• Help with joining a band

  1. Player Sim

     Do you know where a band can jam or where I can get a cool guitar?

  2. Giuseppi

     I think I can get a guitar for you... check the back of my van.

• Caught in the act

  1. The player can have this conversation with Vera Vex after joining her band.
  2. Player Sim

     Are you going to band practice tomorrow?

  3. Vera Vex

     What did you say to me? Are you trying to be funny or something?

  4. Player Sim

     Um... no. Why?

  5. Vera Vex

     Ah, sorry about that. I’m a bit on edge. My guitar was stolen this morning, and I know exactly who did it. Only problem is, I can’t convince the cops because they trust me less than they trust the guy that did it.

  6. Player Sim

     Oh, let me guess, let me guess!

  7. Vera Vex

     What do you think this is, <Player Sim>, a game? I’m not kidding around. That snake Giuseppi Mezzoalto who sells hot property out of his car. I’ll bet he’s selling my guitar as we talk.

  8. Player Sim

     What should we do?

  9. Vera Vex

     I don’t know about you, but I want to track that guy down and run him out of town... but you... I guess you could get a CAMERA and snap a PHOTO of him stealing something. And you should convince Detective DAN D. MANN to join you, otherwise it won’t be legal.

  10. The player can obtain a camera:

      (FotoFlash Camera description) "Nothing like a FotoFlash to capture the moment by surprising your subject in its native surroundings and blind it long enough for a clean getaway!"

      The player can also talk with Detective Dan D. Mann...

  11. Player Sim

      Detective, that Giuseppi Mezzoalto is up to no good!

  12. Dan D. Mann

      Is he? I had a feeling he would come to no good. What’s he up to?

  1. Player Sim

     Theft!

  1. Player Sim

     Larceny!

  1. Player Sim

     Stealing!

  1. Dan D. Mann

     I KNEW it! Ah, but this is a very serious accusation, <Player Sim>. I can’t arrest him without solid proof. If you can CATCH him doing an evil deed, then we can nab him. If you get a PHOTOGRAPH, I’ll take it from there!

  13. The player can then confront Giuseppi in the middle of, er, rearranging Uncle Hayseed’s house.
  1. Player Sim

     Smile!

  1. Player Sim

     Say Cheese!

  1. Player Sim

     Can I take your picture?

  14. Giuseppi

      What the-? Hey kid, give me that camera!

  15. Detective Dan takes Giuseppi away in handcuffs, and the player can report back to Vera Vex.
  16. Player Sim

      We caught Giuseppi Mezzoalto in the act!

  17. Vera Vex

      You did? Is my guitar safe? If that two-timing sleaze ball did anything to my guitar I’m going to break into jail just to break his arms!

Notes

1. If you are on good enough terms with him, Giuseppi's relationship with the player goes up.
