But you haven't any actual proof, and you know it. This isn't Germany or
occupied France. All you can do is fine him a few thousand francs and give
him thirty days. You might as well let him go now.
RENAULT
Ricky, I'd advice you not to be too interested in what happens to Laszlo.
If by any chance you were to help him to escape...
RICK
What makes you think I'd stick my neck out for Laszlo?
RENAULT
Because one, you've bet ten thousand francs he'd escape. Two, you have
got the letters of transit. Now don't bother to deny it. And,well, you
might do it simply because you don't like Strasser's looks. As a matter
of fact, I don't like him, either.
RICK
Well, they're all excellent reasons.
RENAULT
Don't count too much on my friendship, Ricky. In this matter I'm powerless.
Besides,I might lose ten thousand francs.
RICK
You're not very subtle, but you are effective. I, I get the point. Yes,
I have the letters, but I intend using them myself. I'm leaving Casablanca
on tonight's plane, the last plane.
RENAULT
Huh?
RICK
And I'm taking a friend with me. One you'll appreciate.
RENAULT
What friend?
RICK
Ilsa Lund. That ought to put your mind to rest about my helping Laszlo
escape. The last man I want to see in America.
