:18:01
Victor Laszlo?
:18:02
That's the first time
I've seen you impressed.
:18:04
He's succeeded
in impressing half the world.
:18:07
It's my duty to see
he doesn't impress the other half.
:18:09
Rick, Laszlo must never reach America.
He stays in Casablanca.
:18:13
It'll be interesting
to see how he manages.
:18:15
Manages what?
:18:17
His escape.
:18:18
-But I just told you--
-Stop it.
:18:20
He escaped the concentration camp.
Nazis have chased him through Europe.
:18:23
This is the end of the chase.
:18:25
-Twenty thousand francs says it isn't.
-Is that a serious offer?
:18:29
I just paid 20.
I'd like to get it back.
:18:31
Make it 1 0.
I'm only a poor, corrupt official.
:18:35
-Okay.
-Done.
:18:36
No matter how clever he is, he still
needs a visa. Or, I should say, two.
:18:41
-Why two?
-He is traveling with a lady.
:18:43
-He'll take one.
-I think not. I've seen her.
:18:46
If he did not leave her
in Marseilles or in Oran. . .
:18:48
. . .he won't leave her in Casablanca.
:18:51
Maybe he's not quite
as romantic as you.
:18:53
It doesn't matter.
There is no exit visa for him.
:18:57
What ever gave you the impression
that I might help Laszlo escape?
:19:00
Because I suspect
that under that cynical shell. . .
:19:04
. . .you're at heart
a sentimentalist.
:19:06
Laugh if you will.
I'm familiar with your record.
:19:09
Let me point out just two items.
:19:12
In 1 935, you ran guns to Ethiopia.
:19:15
In 1 936, you fought in Spain
on the loyalist side.
:19:19
And got well paid on both occasions.
:19:22
The winning side
would've paid much better.
:19:24
Maybe.
:19:26
It seems you're determined
to keep Laszlo here.
:19:28
I have my orders.
:19:31
I see. Gestapo spank.
:19:33
You overestimate
the influence of the Gestapo.
:19:36
I don't interfere with them
and they don't interfere with me.
:19:39
In Casablanca, I am master of my fate.
:19:41
-I am--
-Maj. Strasser is here, sir.
:19:44
-You were saying?
-Excuse me.
:19:55
Carl, see that the major gets
a good table, close to the ladies.
:19:59
I've already given him the best, knowing
he is German and would take it anyway.
