Rick: I stick my neck out for nobody. Rick: I'm not fighting for anything any more except myself. I'm the only cause I'm interested in. Yvonne: Where were you last night? Rick: That's so long ago I don't remember. Yvonne: Will I see you tonight? Rick: I never make plans that far ahead. Louis: And what in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca? Rick: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters. Louis: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert. Rick: I was misinformed. audio Strasser: What is your nationality? Rick: I'm a drunkard. Louis: That makes Rick a citizen of the world. Rick: Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine. audio Rick: You know what I want to hear. Sam: No, I don't. Rick: You played it for her, you can play it for me. Sam: Well, I don't think I can remember Rick: If she can stand it, I can. Play it. Rick: And you never will. But I've got a job to do, too. And where I'm going you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Some day you'll understand that. Here's looking at you, kid. audio | video (1,67 MB) Rick: Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Louis: I suspect that, under that cynical shell, you're at heart a sentimentalist. Louis: I'm only a poor corrupt official. Louis: How extravagant you are, throwing away women like that. Some day they may be scarce. Louis: Rick, there are many exit visas sold in this cafe, but we know that you've never sold one. That is the reason we permit you to remain open. Rick: I thought it was because I let you win at roulette. Louis: That is another reason. Strasser: My impression was that he was just another blundering American. Louis: We mustn't underestimate American blundering. I was with them when they blundered into Berlin in 1918. Louis: We haven't quite decided if he committed suicide or died trying to escape. Louis: Well! Drinking. I'm very pleased with you. Now you're beginning to live like a Frenchman. Louis: Ricky, I'm going to miss you. Apparently you're the only one in Casablanca with even less scruples than I. Rick: Remember this gun is pointed right at your heart. Louis: That is my least vulnerable spot. Louis: Round up the usual suspects. audio

Rick: I don't buy or sell human beings. Ferrari: Too bad - that's Casablanca's leading commodity. Ferrari: As leader of all illegal activities in Casablanca, I'm a respected and influential man.

Louis: Carl, see that Major Strasser gets a good table. One close to the ladies. Carl: I have already given him the best, knowing he is German and would take it anyway.

Richard, I cannot go with you or ever see you again. You must not ask why. Just believe that I love you. Go, my darling, and God bless you. Ilsa
