Gary Smith (Puppy Eyes)

**Gary Smith** is one of the two playable main characters in Bully: Puppy Eyes. He was voiced by Peter Vack.

## Character Description

Gary is taller than Kitty. He's slender. He has brown hair in a low fade style with a parting to the left, brown eyes, and has a notable scar over his right eye. He wears a teal Bullworth sweater vest, unique to him, over a grey shirt, and grey school slacks. He has a silver watch on his left wrist, and a brown leather wristband on his right. At Halloween, he wears a red tunic that's supposed to resemble an historically unrealistic Viking's garb. In the winter, Gary rolls his sleeves down and adds a navy blue winter hat with a black stripe to his usual outfit.

## Characteristics

Gary has a very bad reputation among the other students and even staff in school. He is described by Algie as a sociopath[1], Pinky claims that he likes to torture people, and Mr. Galloway claims in Chapter 5 conversational dialogue that he saw Gary in the staff office and that "he can't be up to any good". Gary admits that he suffers from ADD, and also shows traits of narcissism and paranoia, often imagining he's in charge a large empire. He was on behavior medication but stopped taking it some time around Halloween, which is also what leads to his betrayal of Jimmy and Petey. He has also been a therapy patient of Dr. Bambillo. Despite being mentally unstable, he is highly observant, telling Jimmy that "nothing escapes his notice". However, he also thinks that friends are for the weak, seeing most people as tools to be used or enemies to be crushed. He tends to call people "friend", regardless of whether he's being friendly or hostile towards them. His insult of choice is "scum". Gary proves himself to be incredibly manipulative, to other students and adults, and highly intelligent, something he constantly reminds others of due to his arrogance and vanity.

His background is mostly unknown. He cites his parents as one of his "problems". Miss Abby speaks poorly of Gary's mother, and Mr. Smith is suggested to be Gary's grandfather since he shares the same surname and complains about the state of the family. Donald can be heard to mention that Mr. Smith (referencing either Gary's father or Grandfather) was kicked out of Bullworth Academy and went to prison. If this were true in reference to Gary's father, it could help explain Gary's behavior. Towards the end of the game, several townsfolk make comments about Gary's bad behavior and unstable personality.

Gary is very open about his plan to take over Bullworth, going so far as to shout that he intends to run the school in front of the clique leaders and their bodyguards during Russell in the Hole. Somehow, he was apparently able to convince them all to trust him, although most, if not all of his interactions with them took place off-screen.

## Role in game

Gary meets and befriends Kitty in the mission Welcome To Bullworth, Kitty, when Gary brought Kitty to the boys' common area after Kitty is knocked out by bullies.

Because of Gary taking Kitty along for his plans and schemes, the two end up expelled from Bullworth the day after Halloween, causing Kitty to have a meltdown outside of Bullworth over having "wasted their mother's money" to attend Bullworth, but Gary suggests they both attend Halishire instead, since it's a free public school and they were already planning on taking over the school.

## Meeting Gary In Free Roam

* During the first mission Welcome to Bullworth, he can be seen standing next to the soda machine and then outside of Jimmy's Dorm room. He can be interacted with, but won't speak and will fight if provoked, and attacking him will not fail the mission, but knocking him out will.
* In the mission The Slingshot, if you jump out of the tree and run to where Gary is sitting, the mission will end and he will be walking around, and will fight if provoked.
* During the mission That Bitch, if Jimmy doesn't have any stink bombs in his inventory, he'll meet Gary outside the Girls' Dorm. Gary can be interacted with normally after the cutscene ends, and will fight if provoked but will usually run away if taunted.
* After the mission The Big Prank, Gary can be seen in the hallway in his Halloween costume. He can also be seen walking around anywhere else if the mission is failed, and will fight if provoked.
* During the mission Help Gary, he can be interacted with and will fight if provoked, but this will fail the mission.
* In *Bully*, Gary could be seen occasionally on campus or at Blue Skies Industrial Park. This glitch was fixed in later copies of the original game (Greatest Hits) and the enhanced *Scholarship Edition*.

## Trivia

* Gary appears in a deleted cutscene in Chapter 3, part of which can be seen on the "Holiday Special" trailer. He talks to Jimmy about how "young love... is a beautiful thing", and then pantomimes doggy style sex while saying "spank me". It is probable that this cutscene was removed due to sexual content, which could have hurt *Bully's* T rating. Not only was the cutscene removed from the game but the dialogue for it was removed from the data files entirely.
* There is a false but persistent rumor that Gary is a werewolf.
* In the mission *Halloween*, his physics is reverted from small to large, possibly because of a coding error.
