A scene from Casablanca 1943
Renault

I've often speculated why you don't return to America. Did you abscond with the church funds? Did you run off with a Senator's wife? I like to think that you killed a man. It's the romantic in me.

Rick

It's a combination of all three.

Renault

And what in Heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?

Rick

My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.

Renault

The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.

Rick

I was misinformed.
