* The traditional way to do this mission is to tail Curly Bob's taxi from a distance. His taxi will not show up on the radar so you have to be careful not to lose him, however there is also a 'spookometer' warning the player if they get too close, making this somewhat tedious. This is the only use of a 'spookometer' in the entire game.

* Another way to do this mission is to take a [[Taxi]], [[Cabbie]] or [[Borgnine]] and park it directly behind the first taxi at the Sex Club 7, parallel to the curb and perpendicular to the alleyway. When Curly Bob gets in your taxi, you just have to drive him to the docks, making it relatively easy.<ref>[http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/548931-grand-theft-auto-iii/faqs/19597]</ref> Note that the player's taxi has to be in mint condition, otherwise Curly will get into another taxi. If both player's and mission defined taxis are smashed up, Curly will become spooked and the mission will fail.

* Curly Bob will leave the club at a pre-defined time, even if the player is not around the area. If this happens, the player can simply drive to Portland Docks and the cut-scene will play out like normal, but without having to tail the taxi or take a taxi to drive Curly Bob.
 
* Curly Bob can sometimes commit suicide by going over into the sea;  if he does that  it will not affect the mission,and will save ammo that the player would need in later missions.  if he doesn't do that it is more than likely he would flee from Portland Harbor and sometimes run into oncoming traffic; if he does, there is a small chance that he would get knocked over and that would make it easier for the player to kill him with a baseball bat.

The Colombian Cartel is making SPANK somewhere in Liberty, but we don't know where, and they seem to know everything we're doin' before we do. We got us a rat! There is a guy named Curly Bob works the bar at Luigi's. He's been throwing more money around than he's earning. He ain't pimpin' or pushin', so he must be talking.

Cutting the Grass is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Leone Crime Family Don Salvatore Leone from his mansion in the Saint Mark's district of Portland, Liberty City.

Description

Salvatore tells Claude that someone in the Leone Family is a rat, selling secrets to the Colombian Cartel who are manufacturing SPANK somewhere in Liberty City. Salvatore tells Claude to follow Curly Bob, a barman at Luigi's Sex Club 7 who has been spending more money than he earns at Luigi's.

Claude drives over to Luigi's and follows Curly Bob, who takes a taxi to Portland Harbor, where he meets Catalina and Miguel of the Cartel. Catalina hands Bob the SPANK, with Bob then telling them of the Leone Family's problems with the Triads and the Forelli Crime Family. After Catalina and Miguel leave, Claude kills Curly Bob.

Deaths

  • Curly Bob - Killed on orders from Salvatore for leaking the Leone's secrets to the Colombian Cartel.

Reward

The reward for completing the mission is $15,000. The next mission, Bomb Da Base: Act I, will be unlocked, provided Blow Fish is also completed.

Transcript

Transcript
Claude goes to see Salvatore at his Gentlemen's club.
Salvatore Leone: Leave us alone for a minute. The Colombian Cartel is making SPANK somewhere in Liberty, but we don't know where, and they seem to know everything we're doin' before we do. We got us a rat! There is a guy named Curly Bob works the bar at Luigi's. He's been throwing more money around than he's earning. He ain't pimpin' or pushin', so he must be talking. He usually gets a taxi home after work, so follow him, and if he's ratting us out... kill him.
Claude heads to Luigi's Sex Club 7, where Curly Bob takes a cab. Either by tailing Curly Bob or posing as a cab driver, his destination is revealed to be the Les Cargo ship at Portland Harbor, where Miguel and Catalina are waiting.
Miguel: Here comes our little friend, Mr. Big Mouth himself.
Catalina: Were you followed? You know what goes on here is our little secret.
Curly Bob: No, no, I wasn't followed. (sniff) You got my stuff?
Catalina: Here's your SPANK, squealer. Now talk!
Curly Bob: OK, so the Leones are fighting wars on two fronts. (sniff) They're in a turf with the Triads with no sign of either side giving up. Meanwhile Joey Leone has stirred up some bad blood with the Forellis. (sniff) Every day they're losing men and influence in the city. (sniff) Salvatore is becoming dangerous and paranoid. (sniff) He suspects everybody and everything.
Catalina: (chuckles) With loyalty like yours, what has he possibly got to worry about?
Miguel and Catalina leave, and Claude kills Curly Bob.
