Best of the quotes from Casablanca


The last quote from the movie is my favorite " Louie I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship".

What are you gonna do? Kill me? Every body Dies. John Garfield (Body and Soul)

It doesn't get mentioned as often as the others, but I think this is kind of funny:

"I'm shocked, shocked to find out that gambling is going on in here!"

reply

"....I came to Casablanca for the waters." "The waters? What waters? We're in the desert." "I was misinformed."

And my favorite: "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine...."

It was satisfying to learn that the famous quote "Play it again, Sam" was inaccurate. . . .. Ilsa said "Play it, Sam."

Renault: "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"

Ilsa: "A Franc for your thoughts?"
Rick: In America they'd bring only a penny. I guess that's all they're worth."
Ilsa: "I'm willing to be overcharged"

There are so many famous lines in this movie that other great bits of dialogue tend to get overlooked. One of my favorites from the overlooked group:

Where were you last night?

That's so long ago I don't remember.

Will I see you tonight?

I never make plans that far ahead.

Or, in response to Rick's proposal of a 20,000 franc wager. "Let's make it ten. I'm just a poor corrupt official."

Absolutely brilliant writing no movie that I have ever seen comes close to the number of memberable lines in this film

Not sure if these quotes are completely accurate, but:

"I'm going to miss you, Rick. You're the one man in Casablanca with less scruples than me."

"This gun is pointed at your heart."
"That's my least vulnerable spot."

reply

On the "Play it, Sam" question, I liked Rick's follow-up line:

"You played it for her, you can play it for me. If she can stand it, I can."

"Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine".

The heartbreak when he delivers this line is so real. Hats off to Bogart!
