Top Big Smoke Quotes
- Drive-Thru Mission
“I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.”
During the drive-thru mission, you head to the cluckin bell and grab a bite. Up until this point in the story, Big Smoke has been portrayed as a loyal and humorous second-in-command within the Groove Street Families. One of his quirks is that he loves food. This is evident in the abnormally long order he gives to the cluckin bell during the drive-thru mission. Although the order seems funny and quirky when you first see it, the GTA community has suggested a much more sinister motive behind the weirdly long order. Fans have theorized that Big Smoke’s lengthy order was a deliberate attempt to buy time for the Ballas to show up and carry out the drive-by. This theory gives the character a darker vibe. Ulterior motive or not Big Smoke order will forever be one of the best Big Smoke quotes in GTA San Andreas.
