Captain Louis Renault: Rick, there are many exit visas sold in this cafe, but we know that you've never sold one. That is the reason we permit you to remain open.
Rick Blaine: Oh? I thought it was because I let you win at roulette.
Captain Louis Renault: That is another reason.
----------------
Captain Louis Renault: What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick Blaine: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Captain Louis Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
Rick Blaine: I was misinformed.
----------------
Captain Louis Renault: Realizing the importance of the case, my men are rounding up twice the usual number of suspects.
----------------
Major Strasser: What is your nationality?
Rick Blaine: I'm a drunkard.
Captain Louis Renault: That makes Rick a citizen of the world.
----------------
Rick Blaine: And remember, this gun is pointed right at your heart.
Captain Louis Renault: That is my least vulnerable spot.

(after Renault witnessess Rick shooting Major Strasser)
Captain Louis Renault: Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects.

Rick Blaine: Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
