Casablanca

End of last part:

RENAULT: Ricky, I'll miss you -- apparently, you areonly one in Casablanca that has even fewer scruples than I.

RICK: Thanks. Oh, and, uh, byway, Louis, come for Laszlo alone. See, I'm- I'm taking no chances on a double-cross -- even from you.

RENAULT: Double cross? Why, Ricky--!

RICK: Well, you might getidea about putting me in jail for selling those letters, you know. Well, don't forget --halfhour before plane time, alone.

RENAULT: Don't worry, Ricky. This ishonor I'll share with no one.

[STORY CONTINUES LATER THAT NIGHT AT RICK'S CAFE]

LASZLO: Monsieur Blaine, I don't know how to thank you.

RICK: There's no time for that.

You won't have any trouble in Lisbon, will you?

LASZLO: No, it's all arranged.

RICK: Good. I've gotletters right here, all made out in blank. All you have to do is fill insignatures.

[CAPTAIN RENAULT STEPS INTOROOM]

RENAULT: Victor Laszlo! Victor Laszlo you're under arrest ... oncharge of accessory to the murder of couriers from whom these letters were stolen. Oh, you're surprised about my friend, Ricky?explanation is quite simple. Love, it seems, has triumphed over virtue. Thank....

RICK: Not so fast, Louis. Nobody's going to be arrested, not for a while yet.

RENAULT: What? Rick, put that gun down. Have you lost your mind?

RICK: Stay where you are, Louis. I wouldn't like to shoot you. But I will if you take one more step toward me. Keep your hands away from your pistol.

RENAULT: Well, I suppose you know what you're doing but I wonder if you realize what this means, Rick?

RICK: Perfectly. In fact, Captain Renault, we'll take you along as our hostage so there won't be any trouble atairport.

[RICK FORCES CAPTAIN RENAULT TO DRIVE HIM, ILSA, AND LASZLO TO CASABLANCA'S SMALL AIRPORT. THEY ARRIVE ATAIRPORT AND GET OUT OFCAR]

RICK: Only ten minutes tillplane leaves. We have to hurry.

LASZLO: I'll go getluggage aboard. Coming, Ilsa ?

ILSA: No, I'll wait here with Rick andcaptain.

LASZLO: I'll be right back.

[LASZLO WALKS AWAY]

RICK: Those letters of transit are blank, Louis. You fill innames. That'll make it even more official.

RENAULT: Ah, you think of everything, Ricky.

RICK:names to fill in are... Mr. and Mrs. Victor Laszlo.

ILSA: Mister--? But why my name, Richard?

RICK: Because you're getting on that plane.

ILSA: But I--! What about you?

RICK: I'm staying here to keep Captain Renault company tillplane leaves.

ILSA: No, no, Richard! What has happened to you? Last night, we--

RICK: Last night we saidgreat many things. You said I was to dothinking for both of us. Well, I've donelot of it since then, and it all adds up to one thing: you're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong.

ILSA: But, Richard, no, I... I...

RICK: Now, you've got to listen to me! Do you have any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed here? Nine chances out of ten, we'd both end up inconcentration camp. Isn't that true, Louie?

RENAULT: I'm afraid Major Strasser would insist.

ILSA: You're saying this only to make me go.

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,thing that keeps him going. If that plane leavesground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and forrest of your life.

ILSA: But what about us?

RICK: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have it, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.

ILSA: When I said I would never leave you--

RICK: And you never will. But I've gotjob 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 thatproblems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that.
[Ilsa begins to cry]
Now, now...Here's looking at you kid.

LASZLO: Everything is in order. Are you ready, Ilsa ?

RICK: Laszlo, there's something I'd like you to know before you leave.

LASZLO: I know, Monsieur Rick. Ilsa has told me all I need to know about you and herself. I don't ask you to explain anything.

RICK: Well, I'm going to anyway. Might makedifference to you later. Last night, Ilsa tried everything to get those letters. When nothing else worked she did her best to pretend that she was still in love with me. That was all over long ago. For your sake, she tried to pretend it wasn't. And I tried to let her pretend.

ILSA: Richard...

LASZLO: Monsieur Blaine, welcome back infight. This time our side will win. Shall we boardplane, Ilsa ?

ILSA: Yes, Victor. I'm ready. God bless you, Richard.

RICK: Goodbye.

[ILSA AND LASZLOW WALK TOAIRPLANE]

RENAULT: Well, I suppose you know this isn't going to be pleasant for either of us, Ricky. I have to arrest you, of course.

RICK: Whenplane leaves, Louis.

RENAULT: Sooner, I'm afraid, Ricky. Here comes Major Strasser.

RICK: You'd better keep quiet, Louis, I'd hate to have to shoot you now.

STRASSER: Why did you ask me to come toairport, Captain?

RENAULT: Well, I was afraid Victor Laszlo might be leaving on this plane, sir.

STRASSER: Of allridiculous ideas, Captain.

RENAULT: Possibly. Nevertheless, he's onplane.

STRASSER: Well--! Why do you stand there?! Why don't you stop him?!

RENAULT: Ask Monsieur Rick.

RICK: Stay where you are, Strasser !

[RICK POINTS HIS GUN AT STRASSER]

STRASSER: Herr Blaine! I would advise you not to interfere withofficer ofThird Reich!

RICK: I'mtrue neutral, Strasser. I was willing to shoot Captain Renault and I'm willing to shoot you.

STRASSER: But you'll shoot too late.

[STRASSER AND RICK EXCHANGE Ø GUNSHOTS. STRASSER FALLS TOGROUND]

RENAULT: Well... nice shooting, Ricky. But I'm afraid my gendarmes heard those shots.

[GENDARMES RUN TO RENAULT]

GENDARME: Mon Capitaine!

RENAULT: Major Strasser's been shot. Round upusual suspects. Take them to police headquarters.

GENDARME: Oui, mon Capitaine.

[GENDARMES TAKE STRASSER'S BODY WAY AND THEN DRIVE OFF]

RENAULT: Well, Rick, you're not onlysentimentalist, but you've becomepatriot.

RICK: Maybe, but it seemed likegood time
to start.

RENAULT: I think perhap's you're right.

[AIRPLANE TAKES OFF]

RENAULT: Well, Ricky, I think you'd better disappear from Casablanca. I can arrange your transportation toFrench garrison in Brazzaville.

RICK: All right, Louis. I could usetrip. But, uh, don't forget, you still owe me ten thousand francs for our bet on Laszlo's escape.

RENAULT: Oh, well, uh, we'll need that to get to Brazzaville.

RICK: We? We'll need it?

RENAULT: Certainly. I can be as sentimental as you. I'm going with you Rick.

RICK: You know, Louis, I think this isbeginning ofbeautiful friendship.
