Quote
District Commissioner:
I have your records before me. There's everything in them, from smuggling to swindling to receiving stolen goods to bare-faced blackmail.
Peachy Carnehan:
Sir, I resent the accusation of blackmail. It is blackmail to obtain money by threats of publishing information *in* a newspaper. But what blackmail is there in accepting a small retainer for keeping it *out* of a newspaper?
District Commissioner:

Peachy Carnehan:

Daniel Dravot:
[Referring to Kipling, the journalist present]
Let him put *that* in his paper, if he has need of news.
