Claude Rains(Louis): That is another reason.

Ingrid Bergman (Ilsa Lund): Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake.

Humphrey Bogart (Rick): Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.

Humphrey Bogart (Rick): Here's looking at you, kid.

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

Ingrid Bergman (Ilsa): You're saying this only to make me go.
Humphrey Bogart (Rick): 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 (Ilsa): But what about us?
Humphrey Bogart (Rick): 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 (Ilsa): When I said I would never leave you.
Humphrey Bogart (Rick): 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. Now, now... Here's looking at you kid.

Humphrey Bogart (Rick): Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
