• (Humphrey Bogart) "-- Here's looking at you, kid."

• (Victor Laszlo) "Isn't it strange that you always happen to be fighting on the side of the underdog?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Yes. I found that a very expensive hobby, too. But then I never was much of a businessman."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well, I've done a lot of it since then, and it all adds up to one thing: you're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "But, Richard, no, I -- I --"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Now, you've got to listen to me. You have any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed here? Nine chances out of ten, we'd both wind up in a concentration camp. Isn't that true, Louie?"
• (Captain Renault) "I'm afraid Major Strasser would insist."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "You're saying this only to make me go."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "But what about us?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "When I said I would never leave you."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "And you never will. But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Now, now --"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Here's looking at you kid."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "Don't you sometimes wonder if it's worth all this? I mean what you're fighting for."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "Well, what of it? It'll be out of its misery."

• (Captain Renault) "Rick, have you got those letters of transit?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Louis, are you pro-Vichy or Free French?"
• (Captain Renault) "Serves me right for asking a direct question. The subject is closed."

• (Captain Renault) "My dear Ricky, you overestimate the influence of the Gestapo. I don't interfere with them and they don't interfere with me. In Casablanca I am master of my fate. I am --"

• (Humphrey Bogart) "You were saying?"
• (Captain Renault) "Excuse me."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "If it's December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?"

• (Humphrey Bogart) "I stick my neck out for nobody."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "I'm sorry for asking. I forgot we said "no questions"."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Well, only one answer can take care of all our questions."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "I wouldn't bring up Paris if I were you, it's poor salesmanship."

• (Captain Renault) "I've often speculated why you don't return to America. Did you abscond with the church funds? Run off with a senator's wife? I like to think you killed a man. It's the Romantic in me."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "It was a combination of all three."

• (Captain Renault) "No matter how clever he is, he still needs an exit visa -- or I should say two?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Why two?"
• (Captain Renault) "He is traveling with a lady."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "He'll take one."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "Well, you can tell me now. I'm reasonably sober."

• (Major Strasser) "We have a complete dossier on you: Richard Blaine, American, age 37. Cannot return to his country. The reason is a little vague. We also know what you did in Paris, Mr. Blaine, and also we know why you left Paris."
• (Major Strasser) "Don't worry, we are not going to broadcast it."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Are my eyes really brown?"

• (Captain Renault) "What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters."
• (Captain Renault) "The waters? What waters? We're in the desert."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "I was misinformed."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "Tell me, who was it you left me for? Was it Laszlo, or were there others in between? Or; aren't you the kind that tells?"

• (Humphrey Bogart) "You'll excuse me, gentlemen. Your business is politics, mine is running a saloon."

• (Victor Laszlo) "I know a good deal more about you than you suspect. I know, for instance, that you're in love with a woman. It is perhaps a strange circumstance that we both should be in love with the same woman. The first evening I came to this café, I knew there was something between you and Ilsa. Since no one is to blame, I; I demand no explanation. I ask only one thing. You won't give me the letters of transit: 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."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "You love her that much?"
• (Victor Laszlo) "Apparently you think of me only as the leader of a cause. Well, I'm also a human being. Yes, I love her that much."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "And remember, this gun is pointed right at your heart."
• (Captain Renault) "That is my least vulnerable spot."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "I'm the only "cause" I'm interested in."

• (Humphrey Bogart) "I don't like disturbances in my place."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Either lay off politics, or get out."

Helmut Dantine as Jan Brandel

• (Helmut Dantine) "Captain Renault -- may I?"
• (Captain Renault) "Oh no. Not here please. Come to my office tomorrow morning. We'll do everything businesslike."
• (Helmut Dantine) "We'll be there at six."
• (Captain Renault) "I'll be there at ten."

Madeleine Lebeau as Yvonne

• (French Officer Insulting Yvonne) "Say, you are French, yet you go out with a German like this."
• (Madeleine Lebeau) "What are you butting in for?"
• (French Officer Insulting Yvonne) "I am butting in --"
• (Madeleine Lebeau) "It's none of your business."
• (German Officer with Yvonne) "What did you say to her? Would you kindly repeat it to me?"
• (French Officer Insulting Yvonne) "What I said is none of your business."
• (German Officer with Yvonne) "Then I will make it my business."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "I don't like disturbances in my place. Either lay off politics or get out."
• (French Officer Insulting Yvonne) "Dirty Boche. Someday we'll have our revenge."

• (Madeleine Lebeau) "Give me another."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Sascha, she's had enough."
• (Madeleine Lebeau) "Don't listen to him, Sascha. Fill it up."
• (Leonid Kinskey) "Yvonne, I loff you, but he pays me."

• (Madeleine Lebeau) "Where were you last night?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "That's so long ago, I don't remember."
• (Madeleine Lebeau) "Will I see you tonight?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "I never make plans that far ahead."

Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa

• (Ingrid Bergman) "I can't fight it anymore. I ran away from you once. I can't do it again. Oh, I don't know what's right any longer. You have to think for both of us. For all of us."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "All right, I will. Here's looking at you, kid."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "I wish I didn't love you so much."

• (Ingrid Bergman) "Rick, I have to talk to you."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Uh-huh. I saved my first drink to have with you. Here."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "No. No, Rick, not tonight."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Especially tonight."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Please --"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Why did you have to come to Casablanca? There are other places."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "I wouldn't have come if I'd known that you were here. Believe me Rick, it's true I didn't know --"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "It's funny about your voice, how it hasn't changed. I can still hear it. "Richard, dear, I'll go with you anyplace. We'll get on a train together and never stop; ""
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Don't, Rick. I can understand how you feel."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "You understand how I feel. How long was it we had, honey?"
• (Ingrid Bergman) "I didn't count the days."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Well, I did. Every one of 'em. Mostly I remember the last one. The wow finish. A guy standing on a station platform in the rain with a comical look in his face because his insides have been kicked out."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Can I tell you a story, Rick?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Has it got a wow finish?"
• (Ingrid Bergman) "I don't know the finish yet."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Well, go on. Tell it; maybe one will come to you as you go along."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "It's about a girl who had just come to Paris from her home in Oslo. At the house of some friends, she met a man about whom she'd heard her whole life. A very great and courageous man. He opened up for her a whole beautiful world full of knowledge and thoughts and ideals. Everything she knew or ever became was because of him. And she looked up to him and worshiped him -- with a feeling she supposed was love."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Yes, it's very pretty. I heard a story once; as a matter of fact, I've heard a lot of stories in my time. They went along with the sound of a tinny piano playing in the parlor downstairs. "Mister, I met a man once when I was a kid," it always began."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Well, I guess neither one of our stories is very funny. Tell me, who was it you left me for? Was it Lazlo, or were there others in between or -- aren't you the kind that tells?"

• (Ingrid Bergman) "Was that cannon fire, or is it my heart pounding?"

• (Ingrid Bergman) "Richard, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but you are our last hope. If you won't help us, Victor Laszlo will die in Casablanca."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "What of it? I'm gonna die in Casablanca. It's a good spot for it."

• (Ingrid Bergman) "With the whole world crumbling, we pick this time to fall in love."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Yeah, it's pretty bad timing. Where were you, say, ten years ago?"
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Ten years ago? Well, let's see --"
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Oh, yes, I was having a brace put on my teeth. Where were you?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Looking for a job."

• (Ingrid Bergman) "He is my husband, and was, even when I knew you in Paris."

• (Ingrid Bergman) "Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake."
• (Dooley Wilson) "I don't know what you mean, Miss Ilsa."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By.""
• (Dooley Wilson) "Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Ilsa. I'm a little rusty on it."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "I'll hum it for you. Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum --"
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Sing it, Sam."
• (Dooley Wilson) "You must remember this / A kiss is still a kiss / A sigh is just a sigh / The fundamental things apply / As time goes by. / And when two lovers woo, / They still say, "I love you" / On that you can rely / No matter what the future brings- --"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Sam, I thought I told you never to play- --"

• (Captain Renault) "By the way, last night you evinced an interest in Señor Ugarte."
• (Victor Laszlo) "Yes."
• (Captain Renault) "I believe you have a message for him?"
• (Victor Laszlo) "Nothing important, but may I speak to him now?"
• (Major Heinrich Strasser) "You would find the conversation a trifle one-sided. Señor Ugarte is dead."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Oh."
• (Captain Renault) "I am making out the report now. We haven't quite decided yet whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape."

• (Ingrid Bergman) "I wasn't sure you were the same. Let's see, the last time we met --"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Was La Belle Aurore."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "How nice, you remembered. But of course, that was the day the Germans marched into Paris."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Not an easy day to forget."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "No."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue."

• (Captain Renault) "I was informed that you were the most beautiful woman ever to visit Casablanca. That was a gross understatement."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "You're very kind."

• (Ingrid Bergman) "Richard, I cannot go with you or ever see you again. You must not ask why. Just believe that I love you. Go, my darling, and God bless you. Ilsa."

• (Ingrid Bergman) "A franc for your thoughts."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "In America they'd bring only a penny, and, huh, I guess that's about all they're worth."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Well, I'm willing to be overcharged. Tell me."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Well, I was wondering --"
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Yes?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Why I'm so lucky. Why I should find you waiting for me to come along."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "Why there is no other man in my life?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Uh-huh."
• (Ingrid Bergman) "That's easy: there was. And he's dead."

• (Ingrid Bergman) "I love you so much. And I hate this war so much."

Joy Page as Annina

• (Joy Page) "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?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Nobody ever loved me that much."
• (Joy Page) "And he never knew, and the girl kept this bad thing locked in her heart? That would be all right, wouldn't it?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "You want my advice?"
• (Joy Page) "Oh, yes, please."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Go back to Bulgaria."

• (Joy Page) "Monsieur Rick, what kind of a man is Captain Renault?"

Peter Lorre as Ugarte

• (Humphrey Bogart) "I forgive you."

• (Peter Lorre) "Rick. Rick. Hide me, Rick."

• (Peter Lorre) "You know, Rick, I have many a friend in Casablanca, but somehow, just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust."

• (Peter Lorre) "Rick, think of all the poor devils who can't meet Renault's price. I get it for them for half. Is that so -- parasitic?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "I don't mind a parasite. I object to a cut-rate one."

• (Peter Lorre) "Well, Rick, after tonight, I'll be through with the whole business and I am leaving finally this Casablanca."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Who did you bribe for your visa? Renault or yourself?"
• (Peter Lorre) "Myself. I found myself much more reasonable."

• (Peter Lorre) "Rick, I hope you're more impressed with me, now? Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll share my luck with your roulette wheel."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "Just a moment. I heard a rumor those two German couriers were carrying letter of transit."
• (Peter Lorre) "Huh? Oh, huh, I heard that rumor too. Poor devils."
• (Humphrey Bogart) "You're right, Ugarte. I am a little more impressed with you."

• (Peter Lorre) "You despise me, don't you?"
• (Humphrey Bogart) "If I gave you any thought I probably would."

• (Woman) "What makes saloonkeepers so snobbish?"

• (Unnamed) "We have something to look forward to."

• (Customer) "Are you sure this place is honest?"
• (Claude Rains) "Honest? As honest as the day is long."

Dooley Wilson as Sam

Sydney Greenstreet as Senor Ferrari

• (Sydney Greenstreet) "As the leader of all illegal activities in Casablanca, I am an influential and respected man."
