Ugarte: You despise me, don't you?

Rick: Well, if I gave you any thought I probably would...

 

Rick [to Ilsa]: We'll always have Paris...

 

Ilsa: When I said I would never leave you.

Rick: And you never will. But, I've got a job to do, too. 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. Someday you'll understand that.

[Ilsa begins to cry.]

Rick: Now, now . . .

[Rick gently places his hand under her chin and raises it so their eyes meet.]

Rick: Here's looking at you kid...

 

Rick: And remember, this gun is pointed right at your heart.

Captain Renault: That is my 'least' vulnerable spot...

 

Rick: Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship...

 

Ilsa: Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time...

 

Rick Blaine: Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walls into mine...

 

Major Strasser: Are you one of those people who cannot imagine the Germans in their beloved Paris?

Rick: It's not particularly my beloved Paris.

Major Strasser: Can you image us in London?

Rick: When you get there ask me!

Captain Renault: Hmmmh! Diplomats!

Major Strasser: How about New York?

Rick: Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to invade...

 

Captain Renault: Rick, I'm going to miss you. Apparently, you're the only one in Casablanca with less scruples then I...

 

Rick: Go ahead and shoot. You'll be doing me a favor...

 

Captain Renault: Round up the usual suspects...

 

Captain Renault: The Major's been shot. Round up all the usual suspects...

 

Rick: Henri wants us to finish this bottle, then three more. He says he'll water his garden with champagne before he lets the Germans drink any of it...

 

Captain Renault: If Rick has the letters, he is much too smart to let us find them there. [in the cafe]

Major Strasser: You give him credit for too much cleverness. My impression was he's just another blundering American.

Captain Renault: We mustn't underestimate American blundering. I was with them when they blundered into Berlin in 1918...

 

Customer: Um, waiter? Will you ask Rick if he will have a drink with us?

Carl Headwaiter: Madame, he never drinks with customers. Never. I have never seen it.

Customer: What makes saloon keepers so snobbish?

German Banker: Perhaps if you tell him I run the second largest banking house in Amsterdam?

Carl Headwaiter: Second largest? It wouldn't impress Rick. The leading banker in Amsterdam is the pastry chef in our kitchen.

German Banker: We have something to look forward to.

Carl Headwaiter: And his father's the bellboy...

 

Rick Blaine: Play it, Sam.

Sam: Sir...

Rick Blaine: If she can stand it, so can I. Play it!

 

Capt. Louis Renault [after Rick pulls a gun on him]: Have you lost your mind?

Rick Blaine: I have. Sit down!

Capt. Louis Renault: Put that gun down!

Rick Blaine: I don't want to shoot you, but I will if you take one more step!

Capt. Louis Renault [with amusement]: Under the circumstances I will sit down...

 

Ugarte: You know, Rick, I have many a friend in Casablanca, but somehow, just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust...
