Renault's signature-is necessary on every visa.-Is it possible Herr Laszlo-will receive a visa?-I'm afraid not.-My regrets, monsieur.-Well, perhaps-I shall like it in Casablanca.-And mademoiselle?--You needn't be concerned about me.--Is that all you wish to tell us?-Don't be in a hurry.-You have all the time in the world.-You may be in-Casablanca indefinitely.-Or you may leave for Lisbon tomorrow.-On one condition.-And that is?-You know the leader of the underground-movement in Paris, in Prague. . .-. . .in Brussels, in Amsterdam,-in Oslo, in Belgrade, in Athens. . . .--Even Berlin.--Yes, even in Berlin.-If you'll furnish me with their names-and whereabouts, you'll have your visa.-And the honor of having-served the Third Reich.-I was in a German-concentration camp for a year.-That's honor enough for a lifetime.-You'll give us the names?-If I didn't give them to you-in a concentration camp. . .-. . .where you had more persuasive-methods at your disposal. . .-. . .I certainly won't-give them to you now.-What if you track them down-and kill them?-What if you murdered us all?-From every corner of Europe, hundreds,-thousands would rise to take our places.-Even Nazis can't kill that fast.-You have a reputation for eloquence,-which I can now understand.-But you're mistaken.-You said enemies of the Reich-could be replaced.-There is one exception.-No one could take your place-if anything unfortunate. . .-. . .should occur to you-while you're trying to escape.-You won't dare-to interfere with me here.-This is still unoccupied France.-Any violation of neutrality-would reflect on the captain.--Insofar as it is in my power. . . .--Thank you.-By the way, last night you evinced-an interest in Se駉r Ugarte.-Yes.-You have a message for him.-Nothing important.-May I speak to him now?-You would find the conversation-a trifle one-sided.-Se駉r Ugarte is dead.-I'm making the report.-We haven't quite decided whether-he committed suicide. . .-. . .or died trying to escape.--Are you finished with us?--For the time being.-Good day.-Their next step-will be to the black market.-Excuse me, captain.-Another visa-problem has come up.-Show her in.-Sorry, we wouldn't be able-to handle the police.--This is a job for Se駉r Ferrari.--Ferrari?-It can be most helpful-to know Ferrari.-He has a monopoly-on the black market here.-You'll find him at the Blue Parrot.-Thanks.-Don't be too downhearted.-Perhaps you can come to terms-with Capt. Renault.--Hello, Ferrari.--Good morning, Rick.-I see the bus is in.-I'll take my shipment.--No hurry. Have a drink.--I never drink in the morning.-Every time you send my shipment,-it's always a bit short.-Carrying charges, my boy.-Here, sit down.-There's something-I want to talk over with you.-The news about Ugarte upsets me.-You're a fat hypocrite. You don't feel-any sorrier than I do.-Of course not.-What upsets me is that he's dead and-no one knows where those letters are.-Practically no one.-If I had those letters,-I could make a fortune.-So could l,-and I'm a poor businessman.-I've a proposition-for whoever has them.-I'll handle the transaction.-Get rid of the letters, take-all the risk, for a small fee.-And the carrying charges?-Naturally, there will be-a few incidental expenses.-That's my proposition-for whoever has the letters.-I'll tell him when he comes in.-I'll put my cards out.-I think you know where they are.-You're in good company. Renault-and Strasser probably think so too.-I came over here to give them-a chance to ransack my place.-Don't be a fool. Take me into-your confidence. You need a partner.-Excuse me,-I'll be getting back.--Good morning.--Ferrari is the fat gent at the table.-You won't find a treasure-like this in all Morocco.-Only francs.-You're being cheated.-It doesn't matter, thank you.-For friends of Rick's-we have a small discount.-Did I say francs?-You can have it for .-I'm sorry I was in no condition-to receive you last night.-It doesn't matter.-Special friends of Rick's-get a special discount.-One hundred francs.-Your story had me confused,-or maybe it was the bourbon.-I have some tablecloths----I'm really not interested.--Please, one minute.-Did you come back to tell me-why you ran out on me at the station?-Yes.-You can tell me now.-I'm reasonably sober.-I don't think I will.-Why not? I got stuck with the-railway ticket. I'm entitled to know.-Last night I saw-what has happened to you.-The Rick I knew in Paris,-I could tell him. He'd understand.-But the one who looked at me-with such hatred. . . .-I'll be leaving soon and-we'll never see each other again.-We knew very little about each other-when we were in love in Paris.-If we leave it that way, maybe we'll-remember those days, and not Casablanca.-Not last night.-Did you run out on me because-you knew what it'd be like?-Hiding from the police,-running away all the time?-Believe that if you want to.-I'm not running away anymore.-I'm settled now.-Above a saloon, it's true, but. . . .-Walk up a flight.-I'll be expecting you.-All the same,-someday you'll lie to Laszlo.-You'll be there.-No, Rick.-No. You see,-Victor Laszlo is my husband.-And was, even when-I knew you in Paris.-I was just telling Laszlo that,-unfortunately, I'm not able to help him.-The word has gone around.-As leader of all illegal activities,-I'm an influential and respected man.-But it'd not be worth my life-to do anything for Laszlo.-You, however, are a different matter.-Se駉r Ferrari thinks it might just be-possible to get an exit visa for you.--You mean for me to go on alone?--And only alone.-I'll stay and keep trying.-I'm sure in a little while---Might as well be frank.-It'd take a miracle to get you out.-The Germans have outlawed miracles.-We're only interested in two visas.--Please, llsa, don't be hasty.--No, Victor.-You two will want to discuss this.-Excuse me.-I'll be at the bar.-No, I won't let you stay here.-You must get to America.-Somehow I'll get out and join you.-If the situation were different. . .-. . .if I had to stay and there was-only one visa. . .-. . .would you take it?-Yes, I would.-Yes, I see.-When I had trouble-getting out of Lille. . .-. . .why didn't you leave me?-When I was sick in Marseilles-for two weeks and you were in danger. . .-. . .why didn't you leave me?-I meant to.-Something always held me up.-I love you very much.-Your secret will be safe with me.-Ferrari is waiting for our answer.-Not more than francs.-We've decided, Se駉r Ferrari.-For the present we're looking-for two visas. Thank you very much.-Good luck, but be careful.--You know you're being shadowed?--It becomes instinct.-I observe that you, in one respect,-are very fortunate.-I'll make one suggestion.-Why, I do not know.-It cannot possibly profit me.-Have you heard-about the letters of transit?-Yes, something.-They were not found on Ugarte-when they arrested him.--You know where they are?--Not for sure.-But my guess is Ugarte left-those letters with Rick.-He's a difficult man.-One never knows what he'll do, or why.-But it is worth a chance.-Thank you very much.-Good day.-Bye. Thank you for your coffee.-I shall miss that when we leave.-It was gracious of you-to share it with me.--Monsieur.--Good day.--Here's to you, sir.--Good luck.--I'd better be going.--Check, please.-I have to warn you. This is-a dangerous place, full of vultures.--Vultures everywhere. Thanks.--Goodbye.-It has been a pleasure to meet you.-I'm sorry.-You are getting to be-your best customer.-Well, drinking!-I'm very pleased with you.-You're beginning-to live like a Frenchman.-That's some going-over-your men gave my place.-We barely got cleaned up-in time to open.-I told Strasser-he wouldn't find the letters.-But I told my men to be-especially destructive.-You know how that impresses Germans.-Rick, have you got-those letters of transit?-Louis, are you pro-Vichy-or Free French?-Serves me right for asking a direct-question. The subject is closed.-It looks like you're a little late.-So Yvonne's gone over to the enemy.-Who knows? ln her own way, she may-constitute an entire second front.-It's time for me to flatter Strasser.-I'll see you later.-Sascha!-French '.-Put up the whole row of those.-Starting here and ending here.-We will begin with two.-What did you say?-Would you repeat it?-What I said is-not your business.-I'll make it my business.-I don't like disturbances in my place.-Lay off politics or get out.-You see, captain?-The situation is not under control.-We're trying to cooperate-with your government.-We can't regulate-our people's feelings.-Are you certain which side you're on?-I have no conviction.-I blow with the wind. . .-. . .and the prevailing wind-is from Vichy.-And if it should change?-Surely the Reich doesn't admit-that possibility?-We're concerned about more-than Casablanca.-Every French province in Africa-is honeycombed with traitors. . .-. . .waiting for their chance,-waiting perhaps for a leader.-A leader? Like Laszlo?-I have been thinking.-It is too dangerous if you-let him go or let him stay.-I see what you mean.-Thank you, Carl.-Thank you, Carl.-Sit down. Have a brandy with us.-To celebrate our leaving-for America tomorrow.-Thank you very much.-I thought you'd ask me,-so I brought the good brandy. . .-. . .and the dress glass.-At last the day's came!-We are speaking nothing-but English now.-So we should feel at home-when we get to America.-A very nice idea.-To America.-To America.-What watch?--Ten watch.--Such much?-You'll get along-beautifully in America.-How is lady luck treating you?-Oh, too bad.-You'll find him over there.-Monsieur Rick?--Could I speak to you?--How'd you get in? You're underage.--I came with Capt. Renault.--I should've known.-My husband is with me too.-He is? Renault's getting-broad-minded. Sit down.-Have a drink?-Of course not.-You mind if I do?-Monsieur Rick, what kind of a man-is Capt. Renault?-Like any other man,-only more so.-No, I mean. . . .-Is he trustworthy? ls his word---Who told you to ask me that?-He did. Capt. Renault.-I thought so.-Where's your husband?-At the roulette table, trying-to win enough for our exit visas.-Of course he's losing.-How long have you been married?-Eight weeks.-We come from Bulgaria.-Things are very bad there.-The devil has the people-by the throat.-So Jan and l, we. . . .-We don't want our children-to grow up there.-So you decided to go to America.-But we have not much money. . .-. . .and traveling is-so expensive and difficult.-It was more than-we thought to get here.-Then Capt. Renault sees us.-He's so kind.-He wants to help us.-Yes, I'll bet.-He tells me he can give us-an exit visa.-But we have no money.--Does he know that?--Yes.-And he's still willing-to give you a visa?-You want to know. . . .-Will he keep his word?-He always has.-You are a man.-If someone loved you very much. . .-. . .so that your happiness was the only-thing she wanted in the world. . .-. . .and she did a bad thing-to make certain of it. . .-. . .could you forgive her?-Nobody ever loved me that much.-And he never knew, and the girl kept-this bad thing locked in her heart. . .-. . .that would be all right?--You want my advice?--Yes, please.-Go back to Bulgaria.-But if you knew what it means to us-to leave Europe, to get to America.-But if Jan should find out. . . .-He is such a boy.-In many ways,-I am so much older than he is.-Yes, everybody in Casablanca-has problems.-Yours may work out.-You'll excuse me.-Good evening.-See? Here we are again.-I'll take that as a compliment to Sam.-I suppose he means to you-Paris of happier days.-He does. Could we have-a table close to him?-And as far away-from Strasser as possible.-The geography may be-difficult to arrange.-Paul, table .-Right this way, if you please.-I'll have Sam play "As Time Goes By. "-I believe that's your favorite.-Thank you.-Two cognac, please.-Do you wish to place-another bet, sir?-No, I guess not.-Have you tried tonight?-I said ". "-Leave it there.-Cash it in and don't come back.-Are you sure this place is honest?-Honest? As honest as the day is long.-How are we doing tonight?-A couple of thousand less-than I thought there would be.-He's just a lucky guy.-Monsieur Rick, may I get you-a cup of coffee?-No thanks, Carl.--Capt. Renault, may l----Not here, please.-Come to my office.-We'll be businesslike.--We'll be there at .--I'll be there at .-I'm very happy for both of you.-Still, it's very strange-that you won.-Well, maybe not so strange.--I'll see you in the morning.--Thank you so much.-Boss, you've done a beautiful thing.-Go away, you crazy Russian.-As I suspected.--You're a rank sentimentalist.--Why?-Why interfere-with my little romances?-Put it down as a gesture to love.-I forgive you this time.-But I'll be in tomorrow-with a breathtaking blonde.-And it'll make me-very happy if she loses.-I wonder if I could talk to you?-Go ahead.-Isn't there some other place?-It's rather confidential,-what I have to say.--In my office.--Right.-You know it's very important-I get out of Casablanca.-I'm privileged to be one-of the leaders of a great movement.-You know what I've been doing.-You know what it means to the work,-to the lives of thousands of people. . .-. . .that I continue my work.-I'm not interested in politics.-The problems of the world are not-in my department. I'm a saloonkeeper.-My friends in the underground tell me-that you've quite a record.-You ran guns to Ethiopia.--You fought the fascists in Spain.--What of it?-Isn't it strange you always-seem to fight with the underdog?-I found that an expensive hobby.-But then I never was-much of a businessman.-Are you enough of a businessman-to appreciate , francs?-I appreciate it,-but I don't accept it.-I'll raise it to ,.-Make it a million francs or three.-My answer would still be the same.-There's a reason-you won't let me have them.-There is.-I suggest that you ask your wife.--I beg your pardon?--I said, ask your wife.--My wife?--Yes.-Play "La Marseillaise. "-Play it!-See? lf Laszlo's presence in a caf?-can inspire this demonstration. . .-. . .what more will his-presence here bring on?-I advise that this place-be shut up at once.--Everybody's having a good time.--Much too good a time.-The place is to be closed.--But I've no excuse to close it.--Find one.-Everyone is to leave immediately.-This caf?is closed-until further notice.-Clear the room at once!-On what grounds?-I'm shocked to find that-gambling is going on in here.--Your winnings, sir.--Thank you.-Everybody out at once!-After this disturbance, it's not safe-for Laszlo to stay in Casablanca.-This morning it wasn't safe-for him to leave.-That's also true,-except to return to occupied France.--Occupied France?--Under safe conduct from me.-Of what value is that?-Remember what German guarantees-have been worth in the past.--There are only two other alternatives.--What are they?-French authorities may find a reason to-put him in the concentration camp here.-The other alternative?-Perhaps you have already observed-that, in Casablanca, human life is cheap.-Good night, mademoiselle.--What happened with Rick?--We'll discuss it later.-Our faithful friend is still there.-Please don't go-to the underground meeting.-I must.-It isn't often that a man gets to-display heroics before his wife.-Don't joke. After Strasser's-warning tonight, I'm frightened.-I'm frightened too.-Shall I remain here-in a hotel room, hiding?-Or carry on the best I can?-Whatever I'd say,-you would carry on.-Why don't you tell me about Rick?-What did you find out?--Apparently he has the letters.--Yes?-But he won't sell them.-I'd think if sentiment won't-persuade him, money would.-Did he give you any reason?-He suggested I ask you.-Ask me?-Yes. He said, "Ask your wife. "-I don't know why he said that.-Our friend outside will think-we've retired by now.-I'll be going in a few minutes.--Ilsa, l----Yes?-When I was in the concentration camp. . .-. . .were you lonely in Paris?-Yes, Victor. I was.-I know how it is to be lonely.-Is there anything you wish to tell me?-No, Victor. There isn't.-I love you very much.-Yes.-Yes, I know.-Whatever I do,-will you believe that l---You don't even have to say it.-I'll believe.-Good night, dear.-Good night.-Yes, dear?-Be careful.-Of course I'll be careful.-Well, you are in pretty good shape,-Herr Rick.-How long can I afford to stay closed?-Two weeks, maybe three.-Maybe I won't have to.-A bribe worked before.-In the meantime,-everybody stays on salary.-Thank you.-Sascha will be happy to hear it.-I owe him money.--You finish locking up, will you?--I will.--Then I'm going to the meeting----Don't tell me.-I won't.-Good night.-Good night, Mr. Rick.--How did you get in?--The stairs from the street.-I told you you'd come around,-but this is ahead of schedule.-Won't you sit down?--Richard, I had to see you.--"Richard" again. We're back in Paris.-Your visit isn't connected by any chance-with the letters of transit?-As long as I have them,-I'll never be lonely.-Ask any price,-but give me those letters.-I went through that with-your husband. It's no deal.-I know how you feel about me. . .-. . .but please put that aside-for something important.-Do I have to hear again-how great your husband is. . .-. . .what an important cause-he's fighting for?-It was your cause too.-In your way you were fighting-for the same thing.-I'm not fighting for anything anymore,-except myself.-I'm the only cause I'm interested in.-We loved each other once.-If those days meant anything at all---I wouldn't bring up Paris.-It's poor salesmanship.-Listen. If you knew what really-happened, if you knew the truth---I wouldn't believe you no matter what.-You'd say anything now-to get what you want.-You want to feel sorry for yourself?-With so much at stake, all you can-think of is your own feeling.-One woman has hurt you, and you-take revenge on the rest of the world.-You're a coward and a weakling!-No.-Richard, I'm sorry.-I'm sorry, but you---You are our last hope.-If you don't help us,-Victor will die in Casablanca.-What of it?-I'm gonna die in Casablanca.-It's a good spot for it.-Now, if you'll---All right.-I tried to reason with you.-I tried everything.-I want those letters.-Get them for me.-I don't have to.-I got them right here.-Put them on the table.-No.-For the last time,-put them on the table.-If Laszlo and the cause mean so much-to you, you won't stop at anything.-All right,-I'll make it easier for you.-Go ahead and shoot.-You'll be doing me a favor.-I tried to stay away.-I thought I would never see you again.-That you were out of my life.-The day you left Paris. . .-. . .if you knew what I went through.-If you knew how much I loved you.-How much I still love you.-And then?-It wasn't long after we were married-that Victor went back to Czechoslovakia.-They needed him in Prague.-But the Gestapo were waiting for him.-Just two lines in the paper:-"Victor Laszlo apprehended.-Sent to concentration camp. "-I was frantic.-For months I tried to get word.-Then it came.-He was dead.-Shot, trying to escape.-I was lonely.-I had nothing, not even hope.-Then I met you.-Why weren't you honest?-Why keep your marriage a secret?-It wasn't my secret, Richard.-Victor wanted it that way.-Not even our closest friends-knew about it.-He was protecting me.-I knew about his work.-If the Gestapo found out I was his wife,-it'd be dangerous for me. . .-. . .and for those working with us.-When did you first find out-he was alive?-Just before you and I-were to leave Paris.-A friend came and told me-that Victor was alive.-They hid him in a freight car-in the outskirts of Paris.-He was sick. He needed me.-I wanted to tell you,-but I didn't dare.-I knew you wouldn't have left and the-Gestapo would have caught you, so l. . . .-Well, you know the rest.-It's still a story without an ending.-What about now?-Now?-I don't know.-I know I'll never have-the strength to leave you again.-And Laszlo?-You'll help him now, won't you?-You'll see that he gets out.-Then he'll have his work.-All that he's been living for.-All except one.-He won't have you.-I can't fight it anymore.-I ran away from you once.-I can't do it again.-I don't know what's right any longer.-You have to think for both of us.-For all of us.-All right.-I will.-Here's looking at you, kid.-I wish I didn't love you so much.--I think we lost them.--Yes.-They caught some of the others.-Come inside.-Come, Mr. Laszlo.-I will help you immediately.-I'll give you some water.-Carl, what happened?-The police break up our meeting.-We escaped in the last moment.--Come up here a minute.--Yes, I come.-Turn out the light at the rear.-It may attract police.-Sascha always puts it out.-Tonight he forgot.-Yes, I come. I will do it.-Take Miss Lund home.-Yes, sir.-Just a little cut.-We had to get through a window.-This might come in handy.-Thank you.-Had a close one?-Yes, rather.-Don't you sometimes wonder-if it's worth all this?-I mean, what you're fighting for.-We might as well question-why we breathe.-We stop breathing, we'll die.-We stop fighting our enemies,-the world will die.-What of it?-Then it'll be out of its misery.-You know how you sound?-Like a man who's convincing himself-of something he doesn't believe.-Each of us has a destiny.-For good or for evil.-I get the point.-I wonder if you do.-I wonder if you know you're trying-to escape from yourself.-You'll never succeed.-You seem to know all about my destiny.-I know a good deal more-about you than you suspect.-I know that you're-in love with a woman.-It's perhaps a strange circumstance. . .-. . .that we're in love-with the same woman.-The first evening-I came into this caf? . .-. . .I knew there was something-between you and llsa.-Since no one is to blame. . .-. . .I demand no explanation.-I ask only one thing.-You won't give me the letters. . .-. . .all right.-But I want my wife to be safe.-I ask you as a favor. . .-. . .to use the letters-to take her away from Casablanca.-You love her that much?-Apparently, you think of me only-as the leader of a cause.-I'm also a human being.-Yes, I love her that much.--Mr. Laszlo?--Yes?-Come with us.-We have a warrant for your arrest.-On what charge?-The captain will discuss-that with you later.-It seems that destiny-has taken a hand.-You haven't any proof.-This isn't Germany or occupied France.-You can fine him and give him days.-You might as well let him go.-I advise you not to be interested-in what happens to Laszlo.-If you help him to escape---Why do you think I'd stick-my neck out for him?-Because, one, you bet- , francs he'd escape.-Two, you've got the letters.-Don't bother to deny it.-You might do it because-you don't like Strasser's looks.-I don't like them either.-They're all excellent reasons.-Don't count too much on my friendship.-In this matter, I'm powerless.-Besides, I might lose , francs.-You're not very subtle,-but you are effective. I get the point.-Yes, I have the letters.-I intend using them myself.-I'm leaving Casablanca-on tonight's plane. The last plane.-I'm taking a friend with me.-One you'll appreciate.--What friend?--Ilsa Lund.-That ought to put your mind to rest-about my helping Laszlo escape.-The last man I want to see in America.-You didn't come here to say this.-You have the letters.-Fill in your name and hers-and leave anytime you please.-Why do you still care-what happens to Laszlo?-I'm not. But I am interested-in what happens to llsa and me.-We have a legal right to go,-but people have been held here. . .-. . .in spite of their legal rights.-Why do you think-we want to hold you?-Ilsa is Laszlo's wife.-She probably knows things-Strasser would like to know.-I'll make a deal with you.-Instead of this petty charge,-you could get something really big. . .-. . .that would chuck him-in a camp for years.-That'd be a feather in your cap.-It certainly would. Germany---Vichy would be grateful.-Then release him.-Be at my place a half-hour-before the plane leaves.-Laszlo will come there-to pick up the letters.-That'll give you the grounds-to make the arrest.-You get him, and we get away.-To the Germans, that last-will be just a minor annoyance.-There's still something-I don't understand.-Miss Lund,-she is very beautiful, yes. . .-. . .but you were never interested-in any woman.-She isn't just any woman.-I see.-How do I know you'll keep-your bargain?-I'll make the arrangements-with Laszlo in the visitor's pen.-I'm gonna miss you. You're the only one-here who has even less scruples than l.-Thanks.-Go ahead, Ricky.-Call off your watchdogs when you let-him go. I don't want them around today.-I'm taking no chances,-not even with you.-Should we draw it up,-or is a handshake good enough?-Certainly not good enough. But since-I'm in a hurry, it'll have to do.-Ah, to get out of Casablanca and-go to America! You're a lucky man.-My agreement with Sam is-that he gets % of the profits.-That still goes.-I happen to know he gets % .-But he's worth .-Abdul, Carl and Sascha stay-with the place or I don't sell.-Of course. Rick's-wouldn't be Rick's without them.-So long.-Remember you owe Rick's- cartons of cigarettes.-I shall remember-to pay it to myself.--You're late.--I was informed as he left the hotel.-So I'm on time.--I said to tie up your watchdogs.--He won't be followed.-This place won't-be the same without you.-I've already spoken to Ferrari.-You'll still win at roulette.-Is everything ready?-I have the letters here.-When we searched the place,-where were they?-Sam's piano.-Serves me right-for not being musical.-Here they are.-You better wait in my office.-Victor thinks I'm going with him.-Haven't you told him?--Not yet.--But it's all right, isn't it?-Everything's quite all right.-We'll tell him at the airport. The less-time to think, the easier. Trust me.-Yes, I will.--I don't know how to thank you.--Save it. We still have a lot to do.--I brought the money.--Keep it, you'll need it in America.--We made a deal.--Never mind that.-You won't have-trouble in Lisbon?-No. It's all arranged.-Good. The letters are-made out in blank.-All you have to do is-fill in the signatures.-Victor Laszlo. . .-. . .you're under arrest.-For accessory to the murder of the-couriers from whom these were stolen.-You're surprised about Ricky?-The explanation is simple.-Love, it seems, has triumphed-over virtue. Thank---Not so fast, Louis. Nobody's gonna-be arrested. Not for a while yet.--Have you taken leave of your senses?--I have. Sit down.-I don't want to shoot you,-but I will if you take one more step.-Under the circumstances,-I will sit down.-Keep your hands down.-I wonder if you realize-what this means?-I do. We'll discuss that later.-Call off the watchdogs, you said.-Call the airport.-You tell them.-Remember, this gun is pointed-right at your heart.-That is my least vulnerable spot.-Hello? ls that the airport?-Capt. Renault speaking.-There'll be two-letters of transit for Lisbon.-There's to be no trouble about them.-Good.-My car, quickly.-This is Strasser.-Have police meet me-at the airport at once.-At once, do you hear?-Hello, radio tower?-Lisbon plane taking off in minutes,-east runway.-Visibility one and one-half miles.-Light ground fog.-Depth of fog approximately .-Ceiling unlimited. Thank you.-Have him go with Laszlo-to take care of his luggage.-Certainly, Rick, anything you say.-Find Mr. Laszlo's luggage-and put it on the plane.-This way, please.-Fill in the names.-That'll make it even more official.-You think of everything, don't you?-The names are-Mr. and Mrs. Victor Laszlo.-But. . .-. . .why my name?-You're getting on that plane.-But what about you?-I'm staying here-till the plane gets away.-What's happened to you?-Last night---Last night we said-a great many things.-You said I was to do the thinking-for us.-I've done a lot.-It all adds up to one thing:-You're getting on that plane with Victor-where you belong.-Now, you've got to listen to me.-Do you know what you'd have-to look forward to here?-We'd both wind up in a-concentration camp. Isn't that true?-Maj. Strasser would insist.--You're saying this to make me go.--I'm saying it because it's true.-Inside we both know-you belong with Victor.-You're part of his work,-the thing that keeps him going.-If that plane leaves and you're not-with him, you'll regret it.-Maybe not today, not tomorrow,-but soon. For the rest of your life.-But what about us?-We'll always have Paris.-We didn't have. We'd lost it-until you came to Casablanca.-We got it back last night.--When I said I would never leave you.--And you never will.-I've got a job to do too.-Where I go, you can't follow.-What I have to do, you can't be part of.-I'm no good at being noble.-But it doesn't take much to see-that the problems of three people. . .-. . .don't amount to a hill of beans-in this crazy world.-Someday you'll understand that.-Here's looking at you, kid.--Everything is in order.--All except one thing.-There's something you should know.-I don't ask you-to explain anything.-It may make a difference-to you later on.-You said you knew about llsa and me.-She was at my place-last night when you were.-She came there for the letters.-Isn't that true?-Yes.-She tried everything.-Nothing worked.-She did her best to convince me-that she was still in love with me.-But that was all over long ago.-For your sake, she pretended it wasn't.-I let her pretend.-I understand.-Here it is.-Thanks.-I appreciate it.-Welcome back to the fight.-This time I know our side will win.-Are you ready?-Yes, I'm ready.-Goodbye, Rick.-God bless you.-Better hurry.-You'll miss that plane.-I was right.-You are a sentimentalist.-Stay where you are.--I don't know what you mean.--What you did for Laszlo.-And that fairy tale-to send llsa away with him.-I know a little about women.
