Claude Rains
(as Captain Louis Renault)
Captain Renault:
[seeing a uniformed French officer talking non-stop to an Italian officer] If he ever gets a word in, it'll be a major Italian victory.
Ingrid Bergman
(as Ilsa Lund)
Captain Renault:
[to Ilsa] I was informed that you were the most beautiful woman ever to visit Casablanca. That was a gross understatement.
Ilsa: [genuinely pleased] You're very kind.
Ilsa: [genuinely pleased] You're very kind.
Claude Rains
(as Captain Louis Renault)
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.
Ilsa: 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.
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.
Ilsa: 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.
S.Z. Sakall
(as Carl)
Captain Renault:
Carl, see that Major Strasser gets a good table, one close to the ladies.
Carl: I have already given him the best, knowing he is German and would take it anyway.
Carl: I have already given him the best, knowing he is German and would take it anyway.
Humphrey Bogart
(as Rick Blaine)
Captain Renault:
How extravagant you are, throwing away women like that. Someday they may be scarce. You know, now I think I shall pay a call on Yvonne. Maybe get her on the rebound. Hmm?
Rick: When it comes to women, you're a true democrat.
Rick: When it comes to women, you're a true democrat.
Humphrey Bogart
(as Rick Blaine)
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.
Rick: It was a combination of all three.
Rick: It was a combination of all three.
Claude Rains
(as Captain Louis Renault)
Captain Renault:
In 1935, you ran guns to Ethiopia. In 1936, you fought in Spain, on the Loyalist side.
Rick: I got well paid for it on both occasions.
Captain Renault: The winning side would have paid you much better.
Rick: I got well paid for it on both occasions.
Captain Renault: The winning side would have paid you much better.

(as Captain Louis Renault)
Captain Renault:
Rick, there are many exit visas sold in this café, but we know that you've never sold one. That is the reason we permit you to remain open.
Rick: Oh? I thought it was because I let you win at roulette.
Captain Renault: That is another reason.
Rick: Oh? I thought it was because I let you win at roulette.
Captain Renault: That is another reason.

Captain Renault:
Ricky, I'm going to miss you. Apparently you're the only one in Casablanca with less scruples than I.
