The Man Who Would Be King Movie Script

Tickets again?

Is your name Dravot, sir?

I'm to say that Peachy has gone south for the week.

He's gone south for the week.

Did he say I'd give anything for this?

I won't.

- No, he didn't.

- Then why did you do it?

For the sake of the widow's son.

- He said south, did he?

- Yes.

Then that'll be Degumber.

Since you're Peachy's pal, I'll tell you.

We're gonna put the screw on the rajah for what he did to his mother-in-law.

Filled her with peppers and flogged her to death.

You mean you intend to blackmail him?

You wouldn't get out alive! If they don't cut your throat, they'll poison you.

Both's been tried.

Peachy and me don't kill easy!

The rajah's an independent ruler.

He answers to nobody.

How will you put the screw on him?

By telling him we're correspondents for The Northern Star.

You can't! You can't do that!

Because I am the correspondent of The Northern Star!
