Wrong Part of Town is a storyline mission in Chapter 3.
The Mission[]
Setup[]
Jimmy enters the library and is greeted by Earnest, who reveals to him that Johnny Vincent is getting even more paranoid and violent over Lola. Algie has been seen with Lola, and Earnest is worried about him. Jimmy agrees to go find him. Since he doesn't know where Algie might be either, Earnest asks Jimmy to go see Cornelius first, saying that Algie and Cornelius were working on a math project together recently, so Cornelius should ideally know Algie's whereabouts.
Walkthrough[]
Part 1[]
Head to the Boys' Dorm, where Jimmy will find Cornelius with the Greasers and Gary surrounding and threatening him. Cornelius tells them Algie is at a pizza parlor. Gary gloats about being right, but Johnny tells him to shut up and orders the other Greasers to go get Algie and take him to "The Clubhouse". The other Greasers and Gary run off, while Norton and Vance stay behind to attack Cornelius. At least one of them may have a wooden plank, although this is not always the case.
If Cornelius is knocked out, the mission is failed. If Jimmy is able to knock out Norton and Vance, Cornelius reveals to him that he lied to the Greasers about Algie being at the pizza parlor. Jimmy has to find Algie in New Coventry.
Part 2[]
Jimmy meets Algie in New Coventry outside an alley. Inside the alley, Lola is trying to get Chad to spend $100 on her. Chad is reluctant, replying he'll have to steal the money from his dad if he is to do so. Lola dumps him on the spot, claiming she isn't a "cheap slut". When Algie interrupts, Lola coldly blows him off, calling him "fatso". Chad and Algie both say "But I thought she liked me" at the same time, to Jimmy's disgusted amusement. Jimmy then tells them they'll have to get out of New Coventry as quickly as possible.
It turns out Algie was just done helping Lola with her homework. Algie jumps onto Lola's bike to escape with Chad and Jimmy, who are on Chad's bike. Norton calls on the Greasers to go after them. He, Hal, Peanut, Ricky (who notices Algie riding a girl's bike and laughs about it) and Vance all pursue Jimmy and the others on their bikes, throwing firecrackers and eggs. Jimmy, sitting on the back of Chad's bike, must repeatedly fend them off with his slingshot.
The mission ends once Jimmy, Chad and Algie arrive at the campus. Chad leaves, saying he can't be seen with them. Meanwhile, Earnest and Cornelius are waiting to thank Jimmy for taking Algie back, also inviting him to play Grottos and Gremlins with them, but Jimmy brusquely declines the offer.
Unlocks[]
Both this mission and Tagging must be completed in order to unlock Lola's Race.
Trivia[]
- If the mission is failed after Chad drops Jimmy and Algie off at the school gate, Earnest will appear in free roam for a while. He cannot be interacted with a greeting or a taunt, but can be knocked out.
- Earnest's yearbook photo can be taken before taking Algie back to him. Simply equip the camera, zoom in on him, and his photo will be added.
- The library cannot be entered until this mission is done.
- Cornelius mentions a pizza parlor. While there are no pizza parlors anywhere in Bullworth, at some point in development, there was a pizza parlor where the New Coventry police station is located in the final game. Standing close enough to the station doors causes an ambience file named "PizzaParlourMx" to play. The pizza parlor, according to David Byun[1], was originally called "Sponge Crust Pizza".
- Gary can be shot with the slingshot when he and the Greasers are tormenting Cornelius, but doing so immediately starts the cutscene.
- Judging by Johnny's dialogue, this mission is probably intended to take place before Greaser Challenge. However, Greaser Challenge can be completed first by completing Tagging before Wrong Part of Town.
- Gary has unused dialogue lines in this mission - one line about finding someone who was hiding, and another about telling something to Johnny.
- If the player uses a glitch that renders Jimmy alive, but with 0 health, and then triggers the cutscene with Algie, Chad and Lola before the bike chase, after the cutscene, Jimmy will be off the bike and able to roam freely, as the Greasers will keep on following their scripted paths. A video showcasing this can be seen here.
