The attention to detail in GTA San Andreas is something that even some of the latest games can't match today. It has some of the best Easter eggs and messages hidden throughout the map for players to discover. NPCs or Non-Playable Characters, who appear as citizens, civilians, or pedestrians, make the world lively, and most of them play a significant role in the storyline.
In Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, many NPCs have non-mission dialogues, making them completely optional and often easy to miss. However, if you know how to trigger these, you can hear some secret lines from iconic characters.
That said, this article shares five NPCs in GTA San Andreas who have some interesting hidden dialogues that can be triggered by meeting certain conditions.
Note: The article is subject to the writer's analysis and playthrough of the game.
Some NPCs in GTA San Andreas, like Denise and Ryder, have secret dialogues
1) Sweet Johnson

One of the deuteragonists in GTA San Andreas is Sweet Johnson, the leader of the Grove Street Families. Being the elder brother of CJ, he played a significant role in the story.
When you're sitting with Sweet in a vehicle and crash it, the NPC could say either "You're always crashing, CJ," or "Man, what is your problem?"
2) Denise Robinson
Denise is one of the girlfriends in GTA San Andreas that players, or CJ, can choose to date. To unlock her secret dialogues, one should pick her up in a Quadbike to go on a date.
When CJ crashes a car with Denise sitting beside him, she sometimes acknowledges the situation by saying, "CJ, my nails!" or "I don't wanna die yet!"
3) Ryder (Lance Wilson)

Ryder is a higher member of the Grove Street Families in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. He later joins the Ballas and is a tertiary antagonist in the game.
When you use one of the popular GTA San Andreas car cheats - the Flying Cars, and Ryder is sitting with CJ, he exclaims, "This is too high, even for me!"
4) Cluckin' Bell employees
GTA San Andreas did the unthinkable when they added a fully-fledged fast-food restaurant chain - the Cluckin' Bell, loosely based on KFC and Taco Bell. Gamers can visit any one of its restaurants and have food from the menu.
When you eat too much food and CJ starts throwing up, the employees often say, "You want more?! Get outta here!" or "Must be the disinfectant."
5) Katie Zhan

Katie is another of CJ's optional girlfriends that you can interact with in GTA San Andreas. As per the game's lore, she works as a nurse in an ER unit in an unnamed hospital.
When CJ drives a vehicle with her sitting beside him and hits a pedestrian, she can remark by saying: "You're the worst driver ever, I love it," or "CJ, you're insane, I love you."
Keep in mind that there are still more dialogues hidden in GTA San Andreas, and you may need to replay the game to hear them all.
