The game's writing leans heavily into its "celebrity gangster" premise.

: Depending on your character's voice selection, the Boss reacts with varying levels of frustration to a stubborn door (e.g., Male 1: "Oh fuck you, door"; Zombie: "Mumbles").

: The Boss famously tells a rival, "That's just fine, 'cause in the real world, you're just a bitch with a keyboard".

: Johnny Gat dismisses Phillipe Loren’s heritage by saying, "Same thing," later telling him to "go make yourself a waffle".
