The Great McGinty

Skeeters:
If it wasn't for graft, you'd get a very low type of people in politics. Men without ambition. Jellyfish.

Catherine:
Especially since you can't rob the people anyway.

Skeeters:
Sure. How was that?

Catherine:

Skeeters:
That book should be in every home.

Prologue:
"This is the story of two men who met in a banana republic. One of them never did anything dishonest in his life except for one crazy minute. The other never did anything honest in his life except for one crazy minute. They both had to get out of the country."

Dan McGinty:
