Doris

“Do you like the 'capisce'? I liked the 'capisce'. So, this is how it's worked in the past: we run the firm as usual, if we get any trouble from rival firms, you beat the crap out of them, then they beat the crap out of us, then you beat the crap out of them, et cetera, et cetera. You got it?”

— Doris

Background[]

Doris is the dispatcher at Kaufman Cabs in Little Haiti, Vice City, and by 1986, has been working there several years.^[2]

Events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City[]

Tommy Vercetti purchases the company, and, when asked, tells Doris that he is not part of any gang; she notifies the drivers that there is a new boss, and that "the Vercetti Gang is gonna make sure we get no trouble".^[3] She tasks Tommy with jobs for the Kaufman Cabs asset through the dispatch radio.

After completing her final mission Cabmaggedon, the default radio station of the Kaufman Cab taxi will be changed to Doris' dispatch radio, where she can be heard talking to the other taxi driver, Ted.
