"Big" Mitch Baker:
“
Being one of us ain't just about brawlin'. It's about being part of a family.
Tommy Vercetti:
“
Yeah, I've been part of a family before alright. It didn't work out.
"Big" Mitch Baker:
“
Yeah, right, but this family takes care of its own. We don't ask a man to do the dirty work and then let him do fifteen years hard time. Yeah, that's right. I've done my homework. This here's the biggest family of misfits, outcasts and badasses. Hell, some of us has even been betrayed by our own country.
Tommy Vercetti:
“
I was locked up during 'Nam. Ugly business.
"Big" Mitch Baker:
“
Which is why I'm gonna ask you to go mess with the man. This whole damn country needs a kick in the ass, and we're the ones to deliver it. So get out there, grab a bike and show this city how pissed you are!
Tommy Vercetti:
“
Alright, alright.
— "Big" Mitch Baker instructs Tommy to "kick the city's ass."

He quickly notices Tommy and greets him.
Mitch says that he was notified by Cougar that Vercetti can handle a chopper well.
Tommy instead asks Mitch how much more errands he'll have to run before the Bikers clan agrees to act as security for the Love Fist gig, as Tommy says he's a very busy man.
Tommy says that if it's a brawl that'll make the bikers act as security, then they can fight right now.
Mitch tells Tommy that their motorcycle club is not just about brawling, but about being a part of a family and being able to trust each other.
Tommy dismisses Mitch's talks of "being a part of a family" and tells him that he's already been a part of a family before and it didn't do him any good.
Mitch responds to Tommy's dismissiveness by saying that the Bikers will not ask Tommy to do their dirty work for them and then leave him to rot in a jail, referencing Tommy's previous ties with the Italian mafia in Liberty City.
Tommy is surprised by Mitch and Mitch comments saying that he's "done his homework" and that he knows all about Tommy's past.
Mitch tells Tommy that their motorcycle club is the "biggest family of misfits, outcasts and badasses" and that Tommy belongs with them.
But Mitch once again asks Tommy to go and mess with the man in order to prove he hasn't lost his capabilities since his mafia days.
Mitch says that the whole country needs to be woken up and that their motorcycle club will be the ones to wake it up.
Mitch tells Tommy to get out of the bar and spread havoc across the city.
After going outside, Tommy must do as he was told; spread havoc across Vice City.
Tommy causing chaos in the city.

Trivia[]
- The wanted level does not clear upon completion of the mission. The other mission where the wanted level does not clear upon completion is Shogun Showdown from Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. However, in both missions, the wanted level can be cleared by loading an autosave saved after the mission completion in the mobile version.
- The song that can be heard playing in the background during the opening cutscene is "Bark at the Moon" by Ozzy Osbourne. The song is also featured on the in-game radio station V-Rock. In the 10th Anniversary edition for the game this background track was replaced by "2 Minutes to Midnight" by Iron Maiden, which is also featured on the in-game radio station V-Rock.
- When approaching the bar before starting this mission, "Bark at the Moon" can be heard from inside the bar, even in the 10th Anniversary edition.
- When Mitch says "This whole damn country...", in the cutscene, it could be noticed that there is a pedestrian's head on the floor. The head is actually a waitress model that is incorrectly lowered into the floor. It is implied that the model originally meant to be a woman but is used by a male model. Video can be seen here.
- This and Karmageddon are the only storyline missions in both 3D and HD era that encourage and reward the player for killing innocent pedestrians.
- This mission is cut from the German version of the game, along with Dirty Lickin's.
