Product placement

Transcript

There are moments you don't notice until they're gone. Didn't expect to see you. Grab the bike, come with me. All right, lead the way. You going to tell me where we're going? You'll understand when you see it. What the hell are you two doing here? Just checking if you're still alive. Looks like you are. Disappointing. Come all this way just to stare at me? So what's the plan? What are we doing? I'm sure you've got something good. There is no plan anymore. You still got this thing? Unlike you two, it never left me. Give it time. Man, feels like forever. 13 years. And somehow we're still here. Hey, do you know how to get back to the highway? You lost? Not really. Just don't know where we're going. Yeah, that'll happen. Dirt road, left at the fork, keep going. Thanks. Good luck. They remind you of anything? More than I'd like. Oh Christ, don't tell me we're doing memories now. Let them get lost for thinking it. Maybe I was. Poor bastard. They got no idea, do they? Neither did we. Would have ruined it if we did.

13 years of memories, laughter, and adventures. Today, we say goodbye to GTA V.�
