HOTLINE MIAMI GAME SCRIPT, v. 1.0 transcribed by yeb_LV October 29, 2012 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Game synopsis: Hotline Miami is a high-octane action game overflowing with raw brutality, hard-boiled gunplay and skull crushing close combat. Set in an alternative 1989 Miami, you will assume the role of a mysterious antihero on a murderous rampage against the shady underworld at the behest of voices on your answering machine. Soon you'll find yourself struggling to get a grip of what is going on and why you are prone to these acts of violence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: So here I've compiled a complete game script of Dennaton's excellent Hotline Miami. The intention was put the all the dialogue from the game in one place so that people who are speculating about the plot and stuff wouldn't have to unnecessarily replay levels (which can get challenging for some) to see the exact dialogue lines again. This was done by the simple, but somewhat laborious method of taking a screenshot of every line of dialogue during a playthrough and them transcribing them in Notepad; the game isn't too long though, so it's not that bad :) All of the character names used here are improvised/unofficial/purely descriptive, since no one is referred to by name in the game except the unlockable masks, which is also a nice touch by the developers IMO. Still, here I intentionally didn't call any of the masked characters by the "mask name". Also, I've omitted the tutorial at the very beginning at the game, since I considered it to be just a device for showing the player the controls and mostly irrelevant to the game plot. Besides, if you have the game, all you have to do is start a new game to see that part. For comments, corrections, etc. you can contact me at: free.ughs at gmail dot com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Screenshots: I've also uploaded a bunch of screenshots of key moments, chapter intro & outro locations, and first appearances of each character. I've hosted the screens on imgur.com, since they have a nice, uncluttered user interface and provide shortened URLs. However, apparently they delete pictures that have gone for 6 months without views, so I can't guarantee that the screens will work if you're reading this some time in the future and general interest in the game has waned. Currently there should be 77 screenshots total in the main album. I've put links to the relevant screenshots in the end of each portion of the script. I hope you'll figure it out :) Main screenshot album URL: http://imgur.com/a/zLIUR Apartment intro screens: I've made a seperate album with these. They show the state of the protagonist's apartment, as seen in the chapter intros (where applicable). Each picture has been stitched together from three separate screenshots, that's why there are three player character sprites visible.

The script below, with the exception of the comments in the curly brackets, has been transcribed from screenshots taken during normal game play, and is (c) 2012 Dennaton Games. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conventions used in this script: * Character names are in ALL CAPS * Dialogue lines start with a single tab; each two in-game onscreen lines are a single script line * Text in {curly brackets} is comments about non-textual stuff onscreen * <Angle brackets> are used at beginning of intro/outro scene transistions etc.; these aren't seen onscreen except the ones with <ALL CAPS> * Text in (parentheses) is the little text overlay; I had them for each level start onscreen address as well, but removed them when I realized some don't match the address given in-story, likely a mistake by the devs :S * --GAMEPLAY-- indicates portion of normal gameplay, the 'meat' of the level; this generally excludes gameplay during boss encounters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter listing and chronology: You can use this as a sort of table of contents I guess. I also looked up the weekdays and tried counting out the days since April 3rd, 1989 for the sake of obsessive completionist "fun", but it's entirely possible that this is something that even the devs didn't consider doing :D <PART ONE - PHONECALLS> <PRELUDE - THE METRO> April 3rd, Monday (Day 1) <FIRST CHAPTER - NO TALK> April 8th, Saturday (Day 6) <SECOND CHAPTER - OVERDOSE> April 16th, Sunday (Day 14) <THIRD CHAPTER - DECADENCE> April 25th, Tuesday (Day 23) <PART TWO - QUESTIONS> <FOURTH CHAPTER - TENSION> May 5th, Friday (Day 33) <FIFTH CHAPTER - FULL HOUSE> May 11th, Thursday (Day 39) <SIXTH CHAPTER - CLEAN HIT> May 13th, Saturday (Day 41) <PART THREE - VISITATIONS> <SEVENTH CHAPTER - NEIGHBORS> May 23rd, Tuesday (Day 51) <EIGHTH CHAPTER - PUSH IT> May 27th, Saturday (Day 55) <NINTH CHAPTER - CRACKDOWN> May 31st, Wednesday (Day 59) <TENTH CHAPTER - HOT & HEAVY> June 3rd, Saturday (Day 62) <ELEVENTH CHAPTER - DEADLINE> June 8th, Thursday (Day 67) <PART FOUR - CONNECTIONS> <TWELFTH CHAPTER - TRAUMA> July 21st, Friday (Day 110) <THIRTEENTH CHAPTER - ASSAULT> <FOURTEENTH CHAPTER - VENGEANCE> July 23rd, Sunday (Day 112) <FINAL CHAPTER - SHOWDOWN> <PART FIVE - ANSWERS> <SIXTEENTH CHAPTER - SAFEHOUSE> May 13th, Saturday (Day 41) <SEVENTEENTH CHAPTER - FUN & GAMES> May 17th, Wednesday (Day 45) <EIGHTEENTH CHAPTER - PRANKCALL> May 23rd, Tuesday (Day 51) <NINETEENTH CHAPTER - RESOLUTION> May 24th, Wednesday ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <PART ONE - PHONECALLS> HORSE: And who do we have here?

Questions are all I have to offer a man like you. HORSE: If you're not feeling well, maybe you should rest? Some things work out best when you don't try so hard. No matter who you are, bearing too much weight... Inevitably leads to the collapse of everything. ROOSTER: Next time we meet will be the last. I can see it in your eyes. Before you go I'll leave you with three predictions... 'Someone you know is not who you think he is.' 'Something will soon be taken from you.' 'On July the 21st you will wake up in a bigger house.'

You must be one of the assholes killing off my men. Doesn't look like you are here to chat... So why don't we get this over with? {panthers attack and are beaten down with a trophy} ASSASSIN: Leave him to me ... {ASSASSIN gets knocked down with a thrown trophy; PROTAGONIST finishes her} BOSS: I guess it's just you and me left now. Not bad! I'm impressed I wonder what gave you this thirst for blood. I've never seen anything quite like it! Now I want to see who's hiding behind that mask! {BOSS attacks with SMGs, gets arms sliced with throwing knives, drops weapons} BOSS: I can see where this is going... Heh!* I'll spare you the pleasure! {BOSS shoots self in head} PHONE: Hello...? Hello?! ... What's going on down there? I'm trying to sleep! ... Is there anyone there? Can you hear me? Hello? ... Goddamn phones! I fucking hate these things! ... *CLICK* {PROTAGONIST takes pistol from the dead BOSS, takes elevator up} OLD BOSS: Ah, so you're the one causing the ruckus? What's your business here? ... *COUGH* Actually... Why don't we skip the details? I've done so many horrible things... Nothing seems to really matter anymore, does it? I'm not going anywhere, as you can see... Just go ahead and do what ever you came here to do. {PROTAGONIST shoots OLD BOSS; goes out onto the balcony, takes off mask, lights a cigarette, looks at a photo and lets it get carried off by the wind; credits roll} Screenshots: Ch 15 main 1 - Boss http://i.imgur.com/Q4kOt.jpg Ch 15 main 2 - Assassin http://i.imgur.com/7XqbK.jpg Ch 15 main 3 - Boss down http://i.imgur.com/z4Yag.jpg Ch 15 main 4 - Boss dead http://i.imgur.com/poaYo.jpg Ch 15 main 5 - Old Boss http://i.imgur.com/XJhEJ.jpg Ch 15 main 6 - Old Boss dead (mainstory ending) http://i.imgur.com/D3JAL.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <PART FIVE - ANSWERS> <Chapter 16 intro> (July 23rd, 1989) (Miami - Florida) {rewinds back to} (May 13th, 1989) (Miami - Florida) BIKER: You think I'm stupid? Huh? I look stupid to you? I know you aren't telling me everything... You helped me get into this mess! You told me it would be exciting, didn't you? Well, I'm fucking bored! I'm done man, I've had it! I want out! And you're gonna tell me how! This stupid game's gonna end now, you hear me?!? SCARFACE: Alright, alright! Calm down, man! You don't realize how much trouble I'll be in! *SIGH* ... There's a guy hiding out at 'The Blue Dragon'... A tiny chinese restaurant down town. He knows more. Just don't mention my name to anyone, OK? I'm as good as dead anyway! ... <SIXTEENTH CHAPTER - SAFEHOUSE> (North East 56th St) --GAMEPLAY-- {after finishing level, BIKER interrogates NERD in the back room} BIKER: Look here, punk! I've got some things I need to know. So you better answer my questions, okay? Who are the people who keep leaving me message? And don't even think about bullshitting me, okay? I won't hesitate to pull you apart if I have to! NERD: I'll tell you what I know! Just don't hurt me! I can't tell you who's calling the shots... But they're using Phonehom to sweep up their trails. I only helped them set it up at the station. You'll have to hack into their system to trace them. I went into hiding as soon as the job was finished. They seem to have some form of political agenda... Scared the shit out of me! ... I spent all my savings on getting this rathole! That's all I have! ...

BEARDED JANITOR: We're playing a game... Aren't we? BLONDE JANITOR: And you're one of our pawns aren't you? BEARDED JANITOR: I guess this means game over... BIKER: Who are you working for? BLONDE JANITOR: No one, haha! BEARDED JANITOR: We're independent, we did it all ourselves! BLONDE JANITOR: Hard to believe isn't it? BIKER: You think this is a game? BEARDED JANITOR: Don't you? BLONDE JANITOR: You mean you haven't enjoyed it? BEARDED JANITOR: That's a shame, haha! BIKER: why are you killing people? BLONDE JANITOR: We haven't killed anyone, you have... BEARDED JANITOR: They were all scum anyway, weren't they? BLONDE JANITOR: You think they deserved to live? Do you? BIKER: That's it? BLONDE JANITOR: Haha, you seem disappointed? BEARDED JANITOR: What were you expecting? I think we're through with your questions! BLONDE JANITOR: Yeah, your move, creep! {BIKER kills them both, goes back upstairs, leaves on his motorcycle; credits roll} ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Ending - Dialogue 2> BIKER: Who are you people? BLONDE JANITOR: You don't know? Haha, that's pathetic! BEARDED JANITOR: I thought you had us figured out by now! BLONDE JANITOR: Make a guess, asshole! BEARDED JANITOR: Not that it makes any difference now, does it? BIKER: You're the phone guys? BEARDED JANITOR: What a stupid question! You really need to ask? BLONDE JANITOR: What does it look like to you, asshole? BEARDED JANITOR: You don't know anything, do you? BIKER: Why are you doing this? BLONDE JANITOR: We were bored, that's why! BEARDED JANITOR: Why would we need to justify our actions? You've done far worse things than we have, haven't you? BLONDE JANITOR: Besides, do you know how much money we're making? BIKER: It's all been pointless? BEARDED JANITOR: If you say so... BLONDE JANITOR: If you don't understand why we're doing this... Then why should we tell you? BIKER: Any last words? BLONDE JANITOR: How about 'fuck you'? BEARDED JANITOR: Yeah, fuck you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <"Secret" ending> {the "puzzle" has been solved and BIKER uses the computer before going down} BIKER: ... What's this? ... Looks like I need a password to access this computer. ... Let's try something! Ah, there we go! ... I see... So that's your game huh? {BIKER goes down to the sewers} BIKER: So this is the base of your operations, huh? Infiltrating the enemy... How clever of you. BEARDED JANITOR: You're the asshole from Phonehom last night..? BLONDE JANITOR: What do you want? ... BIKER: I looked through your computer upstairs... And I thought we should have a little talk about your... 'Line of work' ... BLONDE JANITOR: You don't know shit. Our system is password protected BEARDED JANITOR: No one knows the password but the two of us. BIKER: 'I was born in the USA'? {the JANITORS' facial expressions change from smirking to serious} BLONDE JANITOR: How the hell did you figure that out? BIKER: Let's just say I used a little magic... So, let me get this straight. You're nationalist scumbags... You threaten your members into doing your dirtywork. And this whole thing is a two man operation? BLONDE JANITOR: You could say that, though we like to call ourselves patriots BEARDED JANITOR: We volunteered to cunduct this little experiment by ourselves. But I can assure you we're just the tip of the iceberg. BLONDE JANITOR: We're setting up operations all over the country. BIKER: How did you come up with this crazy scheme? BLONDE JANITOR: Crazy..? What you need to realize is that- BEARDED JANITOR: All you gotta do to get people to do what you want them to do is to make them think there will be consequences if they don't. BLONDE JANITOR: It's a principle our whole society is built upon. BIKER: So it's OK to threaten people into killing each other? BEARDED JANITOR: Wake up, man. Don't you see this is a country at war? BLONDE JANITOR: 50 Blessings is a foundation for patriots. Our members must fill out a form in which they state... That they're willing to die for the sake of our nation. BEARDED JANITOR: You might remember this, you're a member too, right? BIKER: And you expect to topple the Ruso-American Coalition... Using methods like this? ... BEARDED JANITOR: Oh, don't you worry about that. BLONDE JANITOR: We'll have this country back on its feet soon enough. Give us five years and you'll see what we're capable of. BEARDED JANITOR: This is just the first step... You'll understand in time. BLONDE JANITOR: We've got some very powerful people on our side. BIKER: You know what? I think I've heard enough now. I have no interest in politics... You people have wasted enough of my time already. {BIKER kills them both, goes back upstairs, leaves on his motorcycle; credits roll} Screenshots: Ch 19 intro 1 - Biker's apartment 3 http://i.imgur.com/yZ6ZA.jpg Ch 19 main 1 - Russian club side room http://i.imgur.com/9FyLA.jpg Ch 19 main 2 - Sewers http://i.imgur.com/sYqC1.jpg Ch 19 main 3 - Blonde janitor straight-faced http://i.imgur.com/ptJd7.jpg Ch 19 main 4 - Bearded janitor straight-faced http://i.imgur.com/BNZU5.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE END
