Earnest Kelly:
“
You planning on selling the old machinery, breaking it down?
Tommy Vercetti:
“
I'm thinking we might print something - a newspaper, a magazine...
Earnest Kelly:
“
Oh, crap, sonny, low grade crap. I've always fancied printing money. It ain't too hard. You know, I've been doing it on a small scale for years.
Tommy Vercetti:
“
Really?
Earnest Kelly:
“
Sure. But we'd need some good quality plates. Of course! There's a counterfeiting syndicate already operating in Florida.
Tommy Vercetti:
“
A syndicate?
Earnest Kelly:
“
Yeah. Just rumors is all I've heard.

Suddenly, a Print Works employee emerges from the labyrinth of printing machines. He recognizes Tommy and asks if it was him who bought the Print Works.
Tommy tells him that indeed he did, as he used to spend the evenings back in Liberty City with his father cleaning printing machines and thought he'd do the same in his life and decided that he may as well start doing something similar now.
The old man asks him if he'll throw the machines out, but Tommy says that he wants to print someone like a magazine, a newspaper or something similar.
The old man tells Tommy that he may want to try printing money instead, as the old man has already been doing so on small scale for a long time now.
Tommy tells the old man that he's interested and the old man tells Tommy that they could theoretically print some money if they could get their hands on some printing plates.
The old man thinks for a second, then remembers that there's already a syndicate that may have some plates operating in Florida, however he only heard rumors, so they might want to check out their legitimacy first.
Tommy tells the old man that he knows of a man that knows a lot about rumors and heads out.
Tommy now has to go down to Malibu Club in Vice Point and meet Kent Paul.

Suddenly, he leans back and checks out a woman standing next to him and compliments her figure in a rude way.
Offended, the girl walks off. Kent says that it's her loss if she leaves now.
Tommy approaches him and Kent greets him.
Tommy asks Kent if he knows anything about a counterfeit operation in Florida.
Kent doesn't answer Tommy's question and decides to complain about Tommy not being polite instead.
This angers Tommy and he presses Kent down against the bar.
Kent apologises and tells Tommy that all he knows is that the The Triads are supplying the plates to the syndicate.
Kent also tells Tommy that the syndicate runs their operations out of a ship that belongs to the Chartered Libertine Lines company and that he should go check it out and interrogate it's captain.
Tommy walks off, leaving Kent asking for another drink.

Trivia[]
- The mission is the only known one in GTA Vice City that incorporates a taxi ride, which is only offered to the player to reach the Malibu Club (and not Viceport). The spawned taxicab is always a Kaufman Cab and the cost of the fare to the club is fixed at $9.
- Even if the player already owns Kaufman Cabs, they will still have to pay for the fare.
- The song that can be heard playing in the background during the Malibu Club cutscene is "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson. The song is also featured on the in-game radio station Flash FM, but doesn't play inside the club in regular gameplay. In the 10th anniversary version for the game and The Definitive Edition, this was replaced by "Obsession" by Animotion, which can be heard on the in-game radio station Wave 103.
- While "Billie Jean" was removed from the in-game radio in the retired PS4 version, it can still be heard in the club.
