Everything you see belongs to me, to one degree or another. The beggars and newsboys and quick thieves here in Paradise, the sailor dives and gin mills and blind tigers on the waterfront, the anglers and amusers, the she-hes and the Chinks. Everybody owes, everybody pays. Because that's how you stand up against the rising of the tide.

I'm pretty sure I remember this already being posted and the top comment proved this was not who you're saying it is. I'm sorry I don't have proof but someone else probably will

Just searched it and it turns out this has been posted a lot. But I can't find that comment.
