You must know it's very important I get out of Casablanca. It's my privilege to be one of the leaders of a great movement. Do you know what I've been doing? Do you know what it means to the work - to the lives of thousands and thousands of people that I be free to reach America and continue my work.

I'm not interested in politics. The problems of the world are not in my department. I'm a saloon keeper.

My friends in the Underground tell me that you've got quite a record. You ran guns to Ethiopia. You fought against the Fascists in Spain.

What of it?

Isn't it strange that you always happen to be fighting on the side of the underdog?

Yes, I found that a very expensive hobby too, but then I never was much of a businessman.

Are you enough of a businessman to appreciate an offer of a hundred thousand francs?

I appreciate it, but I don't accept it.

I'll raise it to two hundred thousand.

My friend, you could make it a million francs or three. My answer would still be the same.

There must be some reason why you won't let me have them [the exit visas].

There is. I suggest that you ask your wife.
