Major Strasser

My dear mademoiselle, perhaps you have already observed that in Casablanca, human life is cheap. Good night, mademoiselle.

Waiting, waiting, waiting. I'll never get out of here. I'll die in Casablanca.

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.

And so a tortuous, round-about refugee trail sprang up. Paris to Marseilles, across the Mediterranean to Oran [in Algeria], then by train or auto or foot across the rim of Africa to Casablanca in French Morocco. Here the fortunate ones through money or influence or luck might obtain exit visas and scurry to Lisbon, and from Lisbon to the New World. But the others wait in Casablanca, and wait...and wait...and wait.

Police officer

To all officers. Two German couriers carrying important official documents murdered on train from Oran. Murderer and possible accomplices headed for Casablanca. Round up all suspicious characters and search them for stolen document. IMPORTANT.

Yvonne

What a fool I was to fall for a man like you.

Annina

We come from Bulgaria. Oh, things are very bad there, Monsieur. The devil has the people by the throat. So, Jan and I we - we do not want our children to grow up in such a country.

Rick

So you decided to go to America.

Annina

Yes. But we have not much money and...traveling is so expensive and difficult. It was much more than we thought to get here. And then Captain Renault sees us, and he is so kind. He wants to help us.

Rick

Yes, I'll bet.

Annina

He tells me you can give us an exit visa, but, but we have no money.

Rick

Does he know that?

Annina

Oh yes.

Rick

And he's still willing to give you a visa?

Annina

Yes, monsieur.

Rick

And you want to know...

Annina

Will he keep his word?

Rick

He always has.

Annina

Oh! Monsieur. You are a man. If someone loved you very much, so that your happiness was the only thing that she wanted in the world, but she did a bad thing to make certain of it, could you forgive her?

Rick

Nobody ever loved me that much.

Annina

And he never knew. And the girl kept this bad thing locked in her heart. That would be all right, wouldn't it?

Rick

You want my advice.

Annina

Oh yes, please.

Rick

Go back to Bulgaria.

Annina

Oh, but if you knew what it means to us to leave Europe, to get to America. Oh, but if Jan should find out. He is such a boy. In many ways, I am so much older than he is.

Rick

Yes, well, everybody in Casablanca has problems. Yours may work out.

Annina

What kind of a man is Captain Renault?

Rick

Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so.

Annina

No, I mean, is he trustworthy? Is his word-?

Rick

Now, just a minute. Who told you to ask me that?

Annina

He did. Captain Renault did.

Berger

We read five times that you were killed, in five different places.

Victor Laszlo

As you can see, it was true every single time.

Carl

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

What makes saloonkeepers so snobbish?

Perhaps if you told him I ran the second largest banking house in Amsterdam.

Carl

The second largest? That wouldn't interest Rick - the leading banker in Amsterdam is now the pastry chef in our kitchen --

We have something to look forward to.

Carl
