Laszlo: Yes, something.
Ferrari: Those letters were not found on Ugarte when they arrested him.
Laszlo: Do you know where they are?
Ferrari: Not for sure, Monsieur, but I will venture to guess that Ugarte left those letters with Monsieur Rick.
Laszlo: Rick?
Ferrari: He's a difficult customer, that Rick. One never knows what he'll do or why, but it is worth a chance.

Renault: And the honor of having served the Third Reich.
Laszlo: I was in a German concentration camp for a year. That's honor enough for a lifetime.
Strasser: You will give us the names?
Laszlo: 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. And what if you track down these men and kill them? What if you murdered all of us? From every corner of your Republic, thousands would rise to take our places. Even Nazis can't kill that fast.
