Uploaded on Jul 24, 2007 ending of the film, Casablanca where Rick tells Louie, "Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Category SparkNotes: Casablanca: Important Quotations Explained Important Quotations Explained A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh. The fundamental things apply “And when two lovers woo They still say, 'I love you.' On that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time goes by. And man must have his mate That no one can deny. “It's still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die. The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by." The tune of "As Time Goes By" is one of Casablanca's most important themes, but the words are sung only on two occasions.

Sam sings the first two verses at Ilsa's request on the night of her arrival with Laszlo in Casablanca. Rick, who has forbidden the song in his bar, reacts angrily, but he catches sight of Ilsa just as he begins to reprimand Sam. The song becomes the occasion of their re-acquaintance. Later, Sam sings the last two verses during Rick's Paris flashback. As the song plays, Ilsa and Rick stand beside the piano and Rick fills glasses with champagne. Ilsa is noticeably distracted, and presumably she has already learned that Laszlo is still alive. Rick casts a glance at Ilsa that suggests he knows something is bothering her, but he doesn't mention it in the dialogue that follows. In this case, the song marks a missed opportunity to tell the truth and prevent years of resentment. The actual lyrics of "As Time Goes By" are also significant, since the message of the song suggests that the world is a complicated place full of continuous change, but that one thing remains constant: timeless, enduring romantic love. Casablanca does not accept these words at face value but puts them to the test.

The passing of time is one of the film's main themes, and the question of whether love endures is one of its central questions. Before Ilsa shows up in Casablanca, Rick seems to have given up on the possibility of a pure, timeless love. Ilsa's confession of love in his apartment complicates the picture, but at the movie's finale, time, not love, triumphs. Time and history, in the form of the war, dominate the present and steer the future. If the love between Rick and Ilsa does survive, it will do so only as memory. The significance of the words of "As Time Goes By," therefore, is that they are ultimately false. The future can and does bring situations that interrupt love, and the fundamental things don't always apply. 2. Rick: “Who are you really and what were you before? What did you do and what did you think?" Ilsa: “We said no questions." Rick: “Here's looking at you, kid." Rick and Ilsa exchange these words in Rick's flashback to their time together in Paris.

Rick remembers this exchange the night he first sees Ilsa in Casablanca, as he drinks alone late at night in the empty bar while Sam plays "As Time Goes By." Rick remembers the days in Paris as idyllic and untroubled. The war had not yet come to the city, and Rick believed he had found true happiness with Ilsa. In the flashback, Rick is lighthearted and smiling, a person altogether different from the heavy brooder we see in Casablanca. In this dialogue, Rick wants to know all about Ilsa, but she rebuffs his questions by reminding him that they agreed not to discuss each other's pasts. This agreement protects the innocence of their relationship, but it also prevents Rick from learning the truth about Ilsa, which might have saved him years of heartbreak. Although the war has not yet come to Paris, it has already spread to Czechoslovakia, where Ilsa's husband, Laszlo, was arrested, sent to a concentration camp, and, she believes, killed. The past is too painful for her to think about, and she most likely also fears Rick's reaction to the news of her marriage.

In Casablanca, whenever Ilsa tries to explain to Rick what happened in Paris, she points out that they knew very little about each other. In effect, this reminder becomes her excuse for the emotional pain she caused him, but it is also a rebuke to Rick. She intentionally maintained his ignorance about her. At the same time, had Ilsa answered honestly, the whole tone of the memory would be different. Ilsa and Rick's simple love would be turned on its head. Rick seems to have a choice: a painful present and a perfect memory, or a complicated understanding of both. As he remembers the Paris days, Rick seems to prefer to keep the memory pure. But eventually he embraces the truth about his time with Ilsa both in Paris and in Casablanca, which is necessary if he is going to move on with his life. He recasts the memory by repeating the line "Here's looking at you, kid" at the end of the film. 3. Louis: “I'm shocked, shocked, to find that gambling is going on in here." Louis makes this announcement in Rick's after the patrons' spontaneous rendition of “La Marseillaise” angers Strasser and he demands that Rick's be shut down.

Louis must find some excuse to carry out the order, and gambling is what he comes up with. Louis is the film's great wit, and this is probably his best line. He delivers it with a straight face—then politely accepts his gambling winnings from that evening. Louis brings levity and comic relief to an ensemble of intense, brooding characters: Laszlo, the passionate politician; Ilsa, trapped in a heart-wrenching conflict; Rick, the silently suffering sentimentalist; and Strasser, the determined villain. In Casablanca, not all characters suffer from the anxiety of the war, and Louis lives a pleasant life of easygoing hedonism and harmless corruption. Petty crime is everywhere in Casablanca, and this line serves as its official stamp of approval. It also reveals something fundamental about Louis's character. A gambler himself, he has known for some time that gambling takes place at Rick's. Not only does Louis shut down Rick's with his deadpan announcement, but he also effectively reminds us that he always could have shut down the bar in the past, but never did.

Ironically, by flexing his muscle at this moment, and at the request of Strasser, Louis shows where his true loyalties lie. Had Strasser not said a word, Louis would have done nothing, as he always had before. Moreover, Louis knows that gambling is not the only illegal activity to go on at Rick's. Rick's is also a place where stolen letters of transit are sold and where members of the underground resistance meet to discuss their plans without arousing suspicion. That Louis uses gambling, rather than political activities, as the excuse to shut down Rick's is significant. Louis's eventual rejection of Vichy and collaboration is anticipated by this statement. At the height of Louis's moral hypocrisy, he reveals the seeds of his political idealism. 4. Rick: “Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now. Here's looking at you, kid." Rick says these words to Ilsa at the airport during the final scene.

As the scene unwinds, who exactly will depart Casablanca that night and which man, Rick or Laszlo, will wind up with Ilsa remain unclear. Just before Rick says these words, he states clearly his decision: Ilsa and Laszlo will leave together on the plane, and Rick will remain in Casablanca. With these lines, which culminate the most dramatic exchange of dialogue in the film, Rick recasts the entire question. The real concern, he suggests, is not which man will get the woman. In the larger scheme of things, such a concern doesn't matter. A war is raging is Europe, and the happiness of these three people is insignificant. These lines are the clearest statement of Casablanca's moral resolution: the triumph of the political over the personal. But Rick is saying more than just this. Although Rick calls himself, Ilsa, and Laszlo "little people," he also recognizes that Laszlo is something more. These lines are not a cry of despair but a recognition of the fact that large political considerations trump the individual concerns of lovers. Laszlo must survive in order to continue his political work.

Ilsa must accompany him, not necessarily because she loves him, but because he loves her, and her presence will make him more effective politically. Through the personal sacrifice these words imply, Rick catapults himself from the realm of "little people" into the sphere of large causes. Like Laszlo, Rick becomes a partisan, a warrior, and a hero, and he seems to realize that whereas Laszlo's heroism is amplified by Ilsa's presence, Rick himself functions best on his own. While Rick claims heroism for himself with these words, he denies the same privilege to Ilsa. Rick claims to have learned that their love means nothing, but Ilsa, he says, can't understand that yet. Only in the future will she figure it out. At best, her actions are passively, or accidentally, heroic. Those who see Rick as exacting some sort of revenge against Ilsa in the finale will find some proof in this scene, as Rick seems to write off as insignificant or foolish any heartbreak Ilsa may feel. He, of all people, should understand how devastating a broken heart can be, and in asking Ilsa to calmly accept and understand his decision, he is asking the impossible.

Rick tries to comfort the heartbroken Ilsa with the words "Now, now," but he also calls attention to their differing priorities. She still believes in the importance of love, while he understands that some things are even greater. Shortly after this speech, Rick tells Laszlo that Ilsa visited him the previous evening and pretended still to be in love with him to get the letters. Rick prefers the certainty of being noble to the uncertainty of love, despite the ambiguities of each person's true feelings. In making the choice to let Ilsa go, he rebukes Ilsa, who, unlike Laszlo and Rick, seems still to consider love the higher value. At the speech's finale, Rick repeats his favorite phrase of affection: "Here's looking at you, kid." The repetition of this phrase, like the consoling words "Now, now," suggests that love continues to endure, despite the circumstantial barriers that keep Ilsa and Rick apart. At the same time, the phrase takes on a new resonance. "Here's looking at you, kid," when Rick said it in Paris, implied a childlike sense of an interminable present, when the looking promised to last forever.

The playful "kid" at the end suggests the innocence of Rick and Ilsa's love. In this final statement, we understand Rick to be saying, "Here's looking at you for the last time." The "kid" comes across as ironic, for the events of the past two years have forced both characters to see the world for what it is, a lawless and often hostile place that leaves no room for childish innocence or ignorance. Rick is not only saying goodbye to Ilsa here, but to the child within himself. His act of self-sacrifice is his political coming of age, just like that of his nation as it decided to enter World War II. 5. Rick: “Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." This sentence, spoken by Rick, concludes Casablanca. Rick says this to Louis after the plane carrying Ilsa and Laszlo to Lisbon has departed, Strasser has been killed, and Louis has abandoned his cynical neutrality to embrace the Allied cause. As Louis and Rick walk side by side down the airport's empty runway, we see that their fates are linked, most overtly in their shared decision to leave Casablanca for Brazzaville, in French Congo.

Their fates are linked in other ways as well. On the one hand, friendship with Louis is a consolation to Rick after Ilsa's departure. However, the words speak of hope, not resignation. Both Rick and Louis have earned a new beginning. The friendship between Louis and Rick is not itself new, and their mutual affection has been evident throughout the film. Rick's calling this a "beginning," therefore, implies that the terms of the friendship have changed. Whereas the two were once joined by bonds of self-interest and generally interacted out of necessity, now they share a political bond. Political idealism, in the form of active resistance to Nazi rule and the consolidation of the American-French alliance, has replaced casino kickbacks as the cement of their relationship. More Help Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. - Everything2.com Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. by bigmouth_strikes Mon Jul 23 2001 at 2:03:12 This is of course the famous end quote from Casablanca , spoken by Humphrey Bogart 's Rick to Captain Renault played by Claude Rains .

There's a lot said about Casablanca in the terrific node on the subject, but it fails to mention some interesting things about the end of the movie, and this line in particular. When the production of the movie started, the script and screenplay - which was written by Julius & Philip Epstein - weren't finished yet. Director Michael Curtiz wouldn't and actually couldn't let Ingrid Bergman know whether her Ilsa would finally end up with Rick or Victor Laszlo. He simply told her to "play it in between" . Some claim that this has added to the magic that surrounds this movie. In the first version, Ilsa would end up with Laszlo and fly away from Rick; in the alternate and more expected and conventional ending , she would stay behind with Rick. When the film studio had seen the first ending, they did what Hollywood all too seldom does today; letting Rick lose Ilsa. Maybe this is why the movie feels so fresh even on our time. The second ending was never even shot. First three weeks after the production was finished, Humphrey Bogart was asked to record a final line for the last scene of the movie.

As Rick and Captain Renault are seen from behind, slowly walking across the runway where Ilsa's plane just have left, into the darkness and enveloping fog, Rick says: "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." by LaylaLeigh Sat Aug 11 2001 at 1:29:40 The actual last line of the film Casablanca is "This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Casablanca was written as it was shot, so no one had any idea what the last (" tag ") line of the film would be. Some things turn out nicely , don't you think? Casablanca | 8 | quotes | The beginning of a beautiful friendship Casablanca quotes ranked by AFI's list of 100 Greatest Movie Quotes of All Time : 5th "Here's looking at you, kid." (During production breaks, Ingrid Bergman would play poker with other cast members.

Since she was still learning English, Bogart would occasionally watch the game, and he added "Here's looking at you" to her poker repertoire.) 20th "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." 28th "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By.'" 32th "Round up the usual suspects." 43th "We'll always have Paris." 67th "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." Moor Buying Diamonds quote: Sorry, but diamonds are a drug on the market. Everybody sells diamonds. There are diamonds everywhere. German Banker: I have been in every gambling room between Honolulu and Berlin. And if you think I'm going to be kept out of a saloon like this you're much mistaken. Ugarte: Excuse me, please. Hello, Rick. Rick Blaine: Your cash is good at the bar. German Banker: What? Do you know who I am? Rick Blaine: I do. You're lucky the bar is open to you. German Banker: This is outrageous! I shall report it to The Angriff.

Captain Renault: And what in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca? Rick Blaine: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters. Captain Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert. Rick Blaine: I was misinformed. Captain Renault: I think not. I've seen the lady. And if he did not leave her in Marseilles or Oran he certainly won't leave her in Casablanca. Rick Blaine: Maybe he's not quite as romantic as you are. Captain Renault: It doesn't matter. There is no exit visa for him. Rick Blaine: What ever gave you the impression that I might help Laszlo escape? Captain Renault: Because, my dear Ricky, I suspect that under that cynical shell you are at heart a sentimentalist. Victor Laszlo: Won't you join us for a drink? Captain Renault: Rick never. Rick Blaine: Thanks, I will. Captain Renault: Well a precedent is being broken. Emile. Victor Laszlo: Interesting cafe. I congratulate you. Rick Blaine: I congratulate you. Victor Laszlo: What for? Victor Laszlo: Thank you.

I try. Rick Blaine: We all try. You succeed. Rick Blaine: I bet they're asleep in New York. I bet they're asleep all over America. Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world she walks into mine. What's that you're playing? Sam: A little something of my own. Rick Blaine: Stop it. You know what I want to hear. Sam: No, I don't. Rick Blaine: You played it for her. You can play it for me. Sam: I don't think I can remember. Rick Blaine: If she can stand it I can. Play it. Rick Blaine: Who are you really? And what were you before? What did you do, and what did you think? Ilsa Lund: We said no questions. Rick Blaine: Here's looking at you kid. Signor Ferrari: Rick, I think you know where those letters are. Rick Blaine: You're in good company. Renault and Strasser probably think so too. That's why I came here. To give them a chance to ransack my place. Signor Ferrari quote: Rick, don't be a fool. Take me into your confidence.

You need a partner. Ilsa Lund: Last night I saw what has happened to you. The Rick I knew in Paris, I could tell him, he'd understand. Rick Blaine: Well, I'm not running away anymore. I'm settled now. Above a saloon, it's true but walk up a flight I'll be expecting you. All the same, someday you'll lie to Laszlo. You'll be there. Ilsa Lund: No, Rick. No. You see, Victor Laszlo is my husband. And was, even when I knew you in Paris. Rick Blaine: It looks like you're a little late. So Yvonne's gone over to the enemy. Captain Renault: Who knows? In her own way, she may constitute an entire second front. Ilsa Lund: The other alternative? Major Strasser quote: My dear, perhaps you have already observed that in Casablanca human life is cheap. Good night, mademoiselle. Victor Laszlo quote: It's perhaps a strange circumstance that we both should be in love with the same woman. The first evening I came into this cafe I knew there was something between you and Ilsa.

Since no one is to blame I demand no explanation. I ask only one thing. You won't give me the letters of transit. All right. But I want my wife to be safe. I ask you as a favor to use the letters to take her away from Casablanca. Rick Blaine: You love her that much? Victor Laszlo: Apparently you think of me only as the leader of a cause. Well, I am also a human being. Yes, I love her that much.

And I'm taking a friend with me. One you'll appreciate. What friend? Ilsa Lund. from Casablanca 8 - But what about us? We'll always have Paris. We didn't have. We'd lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night. Casablanca 8 movie lines Because, one, you bet 10,000 francs he'd escape. Two, you've got the letters of transit. Don't bother to deny it. And you might do it simply because you don't like Strasser's looks. As a matter of fact, I don't either. They're all excellent reasons. Don't count too much on my friendship. In this matter I'm powerless. Besides, I might lose the 10,000 francs. You're not very subtle, but you are effective. 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. And I'm taking a friend with me. One you'll appreciate. What friend? Ilsa Lund . That ought to put your mind to rest about my helping Laszlo escape. The last man I want to see in America. You didn't come here to tell me this. You have the letters of transit. You can fill in your name and hers and leave anytime you please. Why are you still interested in what happens to Laszlo? I'm not. But I am interested in what happens to Ilsa and me. We have a legal right to go, that's true but people have been held in Casablanca in spite of their legal rights. What makes you think we want to hold you? Ilsa is Laszlo's wife. She probably knows things that Strasser would like to know. Louis, I'll make a deal with you. Instead of this petty charge against him, you could get something big something that would chuck him in a concentration camp for years Be quite a feather in your cap, right? Certainly. Germany Vichy would be very grateful. Then release him.

You be at my place a halfhour before the plane leaves. I'll have Laszlo come there to pick up the letters and that'll give you grounds to make the arrest. You get him, and we get away. To the Germans, that last will be just a minor annoyance. There's still something about this I don't quite understand. Miss Lund, she is very beautiful, yes but you were never interested in any woman. She isn't just any woman. I see. How do I know you'll keep your end of the bargain? I'll make the arrangements now with Laszlo in the visitor's pen. I'm gonna miss you. You're the only one in Casablanca who has less scruples than I. Oh, thanks. Go ahead, Ricky. Call off your watchdogs when you let him go. I don't want them around this afternoon. I'm taking no chances, Louis, not even with you. Should we draw up papers, or is a handshake good enough? Certainly not good enough. But since I'm in a hurry, it'll have to do. To get out of Casablanca and go to America You're a lucky man.

My agreement with Sam is that he gets 25 percent of the profits. That still goes. I happen to know he gets 10 percent. But he's worth 25. Abdul , Carl and Sascha , they stay with the place or I don't sell. Of course. Rick's wouldn't be Rick's without them. Well, so long. Don't forget you owe Rick's 100 cartons of American cigarettes. I shall remember to pay it to myself. You're late. I was informed when Laszlo left the hotel so I knew I'd be on time. I asked you to tie up your watchdogs. He won't be followed here. This place will never be the same without you. I know what you mean. But I've spoken to Ferrari. You'll still win at roulette. Is everything ready? I have the letters right here. When we searched the place, where were they? Sam 's piano. Serves me right for not being musical. Here they are. You better wait in my office. Victor thinks I'm leaving with him. Haven't you told him? Not yet. But you were able to arrange everything? Everything is quite all right.

We'll tell him at the airport. The less time to think, the easier. Please trust me. Yes, I will. I don't know how to thank you. Save it. We've still lots of things to do. I brought the money. Keep it, you'll need it in America. But we made a deal. Never mind that. You won't have any trouble in Lisbon? No. It's all arranged. Good. I've got the letters here, made out in blank. All you have to do is fill in the signatures. Victor Laszlo. Victor Laszlo, you're under arrest. The charge of accessory to the murder of the couriers from whom the letters were stolen. You're surprised about my friend Ricky? The explanation is simple. Love, it seems, has triumphed over virtue. Thank Not so fast, Louis. Nobody is going to be arrested. Not for a while yet. Have you lost your mind? I have. Sit down. Put that gun down. I don't want to shoot you but I will if you take one more step. Under the circumstances, I will sit down. Keep your hands on the table. I wonder if you realize what this means. I do.

We've got time to discuss that later. Call off your watchdogs, you said. Just the same, call the airport and let me hear you tell them. And remember, this gun is pointed right at your heart. That is my least vulnerable spot. Hello? Is that the airport? This is Captain Renault speaking. There'll be two letters of transit for the Lisbon plane. There's to be no trouble about them. Good. Hello? My car, quickly! This is Major Strasser . Have a squad of police meet me at the airport at once. At once, do you hear? Hello, radio tower? Lisbon plane taking off in 10 minutes, east runway. Visibility, 11/2 miles. Light ground fog. Depth of fog approximately 500. Ceiling unlimited. Thank you. Have your man go with Laszlo and take care of his luggage. Certainly, Rick, anything you say. Find Laszlo's luggage. Put it on the plane. Yes, sir. This way, please. If you don't mind, fill in the names. That'll make it more official. You think of everything, don't you? And the names are Mr. and Mrs.

Victor Laszlo. But why my name, Richard? Because you're getting on that plane. I don't understand. What about you? I'm staying with him till the plane gets away. No. What has happened? Last night you said Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for us. I've done a lot of it since then. It adds up to one thing: You're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong. Now, you've got to listen to me. Any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed here? Chances are we'd both wind up in a concentration camp. True, Louis? I'm afraid Major Strasser would insist. You're saying this only to make me go. I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life. But what about us? We'll always have Paris. We didn't have.

We'd lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night. When I said I would never leave you. And you never will. But I've got a job 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 that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now. Here's looking at you, kid. Everything is in order. All except one thing. There's something you should know. I don't ask you to explain anything. I'm going to anyway. It may make a difference to you later on. You said you knew about Ilsa and me. You didn't know she was at my place last night when you were. She came there for the letters of transit. Isn't that true, Ilsa? Yes. She tried everything to get them. Nothing worked. She did her best to convince me that she was still in love with me. But that was all over long ago.

For your sake, she pretended it wasn't, and I let her pretend. I understand. Here it is. Thanks. I appreciate it. Welcome back to the fight. This time I know our side will win. Are you ready, Ilsa? Yes, I'm ready. Goodbye, Rick. God bless you. You better hurry. You'll miss that plane. I was right. You are a sentimentalist. Stay where you are. I don't know what you're talking about. What you just did for Laszlo. That fairy tale you invented to send Ilsa away with him. I know a little about women, my friend. She went. But she knew you were lying. Anyway, thanks for helping me out. I suppose you know this isn't going to be pleasant for either of us. Especially for you. I'll have to arrest you, of course. As soon as the plane goes, Louis. What was the meaning of that phone call? Victor Laszlo is on that plane. Why do you stand here? Why don't you stop him? Ask Monsieur Rick. Get away from that phone. I advise you not to interfere.

I was willing to shoot Captain Renault, and I'm willing to shoot you. Hello! Put that phone down. Get me the radio tower. Put it down! Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects. Well, Rick , you're not only a sentimentalist but you've become a patriot. Maybe, but it seemed like a good time to start. I think perhaps you're right. It might be a good idea for you to disappear from Casablanca for a while. There's a Free French garrison over at Brazzaville. I could be induced to arrange a passage. My letter of transit? I could use a trip. But it doesn't change our bet. You still owe me 10,000 francs. That 10,000 francs should pay our expenses. Our expenses?" Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Uploaded on May 26, 2011 Casablanca movie clips: Don't miss the HOTTEST NEW TRAILERS: CLIP DESCRIPTION: Captain Renault (Claude Rains) and Rick (Humphrey Bogart) strike up a beautiful new arrangement. FILM DESCRIPTION: One of the most beloved American films, this captivating wartime adventure of romance and intrigue from director Michael Curtiz defies standard categorization. Simply put, it is the story of Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a world-weary ex-freedom fighter who runs a nightclub in Casablanca during the early part of WWII. Despite pressure from the local authorities, notably the crafty Capt. Renault (Claude Rains), Rick's cafÃ (C) has become a haven for refugees looking to purchase illicit letters of transit which will allow them to escape to America.

One day, to Rick's great surprise, he is approached by the famed rebel Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) and his wife, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), Rick's true love who deserted him when the Nazis invaded Paris. She still wants Victor to escape to America, but now that she's renewed her love for Rick, she wants to stay behind in Casablanca. "You must do the thinking for both of us," she says to Rick. He does, and his plan brings the story to its satisfyingly logical, if not entirely happy, conclusion.

The top 10 most misquoted film lines are marked with an icon Rhett Butler's (Clark Gable) scandalous, swear-word farewell to Scarlett (Vivien Leigh) in Gone With the Wind (1939) did not include Scarlett's name. It was: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." (long version) It was NOT: "Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn." The misquote was heard in Clue (1985), when Miss Scarlet (Lesley Ann Warren) begged Wadsworth (Tim Curry) to forgive her for trying to shoot him: Scarlet: "Wadsworth.

Dr. Hackenbush (Groucho Marx): "If I hold you any closer, I'll be in back of ya!" Referencing both The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Old Yeller (1957). - "Tell Tiny Tim I won't be comin' home this Christmas." Referencing A Christmas Carol.

- "Thank you, You love me, you really love me." This line misquoted the end of Sally Field's Oscar acceptance speech in 1985 for her performance in Places in the Heart (1984): "...The first time, I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now. You like me!" Play end of Sally Field's speech: Contrary to popular opinion, Gone With the Wind (1939) was not the first use of the word 'damn' in a film. It reportedly was said a few times in Glorifying the American Girl (1929) and in Pygmalion (1938, UK). Also, the phrase "March and sweat the whole damned day" appeared on a dialogue card in the silent epic war film The Big Parade (1925) . In Only Angels Have Wings (1939) , Cary Grant said the name 'Judy' numerous times to costar Rita Hayworth (playing a character named Judith McPherson), such as: "Hello, Judy" - but never repeated her name in rapid succession.

"Helly, Judy." Play clip from Only Angels Have Wings (1939) : "Judy...Judy...Judy" - was falsely attributed to Cary Grant. Cary Grant vaguely recalled that at a party he attended, someone introduced Judy Garland by saying, "Judy, Judy, Judy" and the phrase was attributed to him. A 1960 New Yorker ad for several Judy Garland albums ("Judy! Judy! Judy!") reinforced the incorrect quote.

The most beloved family film, The Wizard of Oz (1939) has had problems with one of its most famous lines spoken by Judy Garland (as Dorothy Gale) to her dog Toto: "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." Play clip from The Wizard of Oz (1939) : It's generally misquoted as: "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore" or "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto." A misquote was heard in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989), when the two Szalinski siblings, Amy (Amy O'Neill) and Nick (Robert Oliveri) realized that they had been miniaturized and trapped in a plastic garbage bag in their backyard: Amy Szalinski: "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto." Nick Szalinski: "I don't think we're in the food chain anymore, Dorothy." Play clip from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989): Quite often, an actual quote has been adapted or abbreviated.

This original lengthy line was from Knute Rockne: All-American (1940) , spoken by team coach Knute Rockne (Pat O'Brien) as a pep-talk to his losing team during half-time: "And the last thing he said to me, 'Rock,' he said, 'sometime when the team is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Gipper." Play clip from Knute Rockne: All-American (1940) : He was recalling what his most famous player, George Gipp (portrayed by Ronald Reagan), had said earlier in the film: "Ask 'em to go in there with all they've got, win just one for the Gipper." It has often been stated simply as: "Win one for the Gipper," or "Win this one for the Gipper." George Gipp was a real-life football star who died young of pneumonia and provided an inspiring anecdote to his coach.

The last line of the film noirish detective story The Maltese Falcon (1941) was a two-line conversation between Police Sergeant Tom Polhaus (Ward Bond) and Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart): - "It's heavy. What is it?" - "The uh, stuff that dreams are made of." - "Huh?" Play clip from The Maltese Falcon (1941) : The actual final word of the film was the sergeant's puzzled response, "Huh?" The unusual reference paraphrased Prospero's speech in Act IV of Shakespeare's The Tempest, although it was a misquote of: "We are such stuff as dreams are made on" (NOT "made of"). "Play it again, Sam" - was a line never spoken by either Ingrid Bergman or Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca (1942) to Sam (Dooley Wilson), the nightclub pianist and reluctant performer of the sentimental song 'As Time Goes By' (written by Herman Hupfeld).

When "Play It Again Sam" became the title of a Woody Allen comedy Play It Again, Sam (1972) that, in part, spoofed the classic 1942 film, the misquote was further reinforced. Variations on the line were spoken, however, by both leads in the 1942 film: Ingrid Bergman (as Ilsa Lund) requested: "Play it once, Sam, for old time's sake...Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'." I Want Candy (2007) - "Well, play it again, Sam." - "OK. I will...That was a misquote from Casablanca, by the way. I don't know if I can look at you." Play clip from I Want Candy (2007): (excerpt) In Casablanca (1942) , Humphrey Bogart never said: "Drop the gun, Louis." However, he did gave the following warning: "Not so fast, Louis. Nobody is gonna be arrested.

Not for a while yet." Play clip from Casablanca (1942) : The last line of Casablanca (1942) is also often misquoted (and the name Louis, pronounced 'Louie' (in French), is often mis-spelled as Louie) - the correct line, spoken by Humphrey Bogart, is: "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Play clip from Casablanca (1942) : It is often mis-stated as: "This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship," or "I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship." One of the most oft-quoted lines in cinema history was in director John Huston's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) : "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!" (short) (long) It has often been misquoted or paraphrased, notably in director Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles (1974) , spoken by a Mexican bandit (Rick Garcia) as: "Badges?

We don't need no stinkin' badges!" Play clip from Blazing Saddles (1974) : It was also misquoted in: The Ninth Configuration (1980) Manolo (Nick Corri): "Don't show me your badges, we don't know nothing about no stinking badges." "Weird Al" Yankovic's UHF (1989): Animal Deliveryman (Cliff Stephens): "Well, let's see. I got one aardvark, one flamingo, four porcupines, two armadillos, three badgers..." Raul Hernandez (Trinidad Silva): "Badgers??? Badgers??? We don't need no steenkin' badgers!" Play clip from UHF (1989): Troop Beverly Hills (1989): (regarding the patches of the Wilderness Girls Troop) Rosa the Maid (Shelley Morrison): "Patches? We don't need no stinkin' patches." The 1935 novel by B. Traven consisted of the following similar dialogue, with some Spanish obscenities thrown in: "All right, "Curtain shouted back.

"If you are the police, where are your badges? Let's see them." "Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and ching' tu madre! Come out there from that s--t-hole of yours. I have to speak to you." The following popular catchphrase has multiple origins, and probably goes way back. It was first heard in the movies in Otto Preminger's film-noir Fallen Angel (1945), and then was famously uttered by Bette Davis (as Rose Moline) in Beyond the Forest (1949) . Eric Stanton (Dana Andrews): "What a dump!" June Mills (Alice Faye): "It isn't so bad." Play clip from Fallen Angel (1945): Rose Moline (Bette Davis): "What a dump!" Play clip from Beyond the Forest (1949) : It was not popularized until heard in the opening scene of the 1961 Edward Albee play, upon which the highly-acclaimed film Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

(1966) was based. In the film, the exact same line was uttered by actress Elizabeth Taylor (as 52 year-old wife Martha) who then berated her professor-husband Richard Burton (as George) for not remembering the film the line was from: "...What's it from, for Christ's sake?...some damn Bette Davis picture, some god-damned Warner Bros epic." Play clip from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) : Actor John Derek (Bo Derek's future husband) in his first major film role (as young Italian hoodlum Nick Romano in the Chicago slums, who was accused of murdering a cop) stated the following line in the classic Humphrey Bogart film noir Knock on Any Door (1949), directed by Nicholas Ray. He told his girlfriend Emma (Allene Roberts) that his motto or credo in life remained as: "What I used to say still goes.

Live fast, die young and have a good-looking corpse!" Play clip from Knock on Any Door (1949): This saying, although wrongly modified as “Live fast, die young and leave a good-looking corpse!” has often been wrongly attributed to actor James Dean - a quintessential symbol of disenfranchised youth. The last part of the phrase is fairly original (derived from the text of the 1947 novel written by the African-American novelist Willard Motley), while the phrase "live fast and die young" dates back to the early 1900s. In the classic gangster film White Heat (1949) , James Cagney's triumphant shout atop a oil tank before blasting himself into oblivion has often been erroneously quoted. The actual line was: "Made it, Ma. Top of the world!" Play clip from White Heat (1949) : The line was not: "Top of the world, Ma!" Bette Davis' most famous film line as aging, jealous stage actress Margo Channing in All About Eve (1950) was delivered after she took another stiff drink during a birthday party.

She walked over to the staircase, turned, and told everyone to buckle up their airplane seatbelts (cars didn't have seatbelts in the 1950s!): "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night." The line has often been misquoted, substituting the word "ride" for "night." "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride." "I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille" has often been presented as Norma Desmond's (Gloria Swanson) line, but it's actually a misquote of her original closing in Sunset Boulevard (1950) : "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my closeup." Play clip from Sunset Boulevard (1950) : The line was misquoted in Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) by Daniel Hillard/Mrs.

Doubtfire (Robin Williams), while speaking to Frank (Harvey Fierstein) as he/she was made up: - "I feel like Gloria Swanson." - "You look like her mother." - "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille." Play clip from Mrs. Doubtfire (1993): In Disney's animated classic Alice in Wonderland (1951), the Cheshire Cat (voice of Sterling Holloway) has often been thought to say, "We're all mad here." The actual lines in the film were: - "Of course, he's mad too." - "But I don't want to go among mad people." - "Oh, you can't help that. Most everyone's mad here. You may have noticed that I'm not all there myself." Play clip from Alice in Wonderland (1951): In Lewis Carroll's original novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland published in 1865 however, the extended quote was: "But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "We're all mad here. I'm mad.

You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." One of the more interesting misquotes was attributed to actor Tony Curtis. In many tributes and obituaries when he died in the year 2010, he was quoted as having said the following line with a heavy New York accent: "Yonder lies the castle of my father." "Yonda (or yonda) lies da castle of my fodder (faddah, fodda, or fadda)." Although many sources claim that Curtis said the line in The Prince Who Was a Thief (1951) and/or The Black Shield of Falworth (1954), Curtis didn't utter the above quote in either film. However, a variation on the line was spoken by Curtis in Son of Ali Baba (1952): "This is my father’s palace.

And yonder lies the Valley of the Sun." Play clip from Son of Ali Baba (1952): Director Vincente Minnelli's melodramatic Tea and Sympathy (1956) began as playwright Robert Anderson's stage play, debuting in NYC in 1953. The controversial film was about bullying and social prejudice against an "unmanly" prep school student named Tom Lee (John Kerr), who was shown understanding and friendship by Laura Reynolds (Deborah Kerr) - the lonely, frustrated wife of Bill (Leif Erickson), the school's coach.

The film's title came from his description of his wife's role at the school, when she completed his sentence: - "All you're supposed to do is once in a while give the boys a little tea..." - "...tea and sympathy." Play clip from Tea and Sympathy (1956): The Rolling Stones 1969 song Let It Bleed, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (and performed by Mick Jagger) modified the line in one of the verses: She said, "My breasts, they will always be open Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me And there will always be a space in my parking lot When you need a little coke and sympathy." Play clip of Let It Bleed (1969): The film, bowdlerized with a tacked-on ending, should have ended with Laura's advice to Tom: "Years from now, when you talk about this, and you will, be kind." Play clip from Tea and Sympathy (1956): There were a few variations on the famous James Bond 007 drink preference quote: "...shaken, not stirred," first heard uttered by the Bond character (Sean Connery) himself in Goldfinger (

1964) : "...Just a drink.

A martini, shaken, not stirred." Play clip from Goldfinger (1964) : Villain Dr. Julius No (Joseph Wiseman) offered the familiar drink to Bond in the earlier first Bond film Dr. No (1962) - with the words: "A medium dry martini, lemon peel. Shaken, not stirred." Play clip from Dr. No (1962) : In You Only Live Twice (1967) , the drink instructions were reversed, with Bond politely agreeing with his host Henderson (Charles Gray) and accepting the altered drink: "Perfect!" "Oh, that's, uh, stirred, not shaken. That was right, wasn't it?" In the UK film Alfie (1966), Michael Caine (as the title character) said: "Not many people know this." One of his many trivia books was titled, "Not Many People Know That." In the film, he never said: "(And) not a lot of people know that." The tagline from Cool Hand Luke (1967) has often been modified from its original.

In its most famous utterance, the Captain (Strother Martin) said to recalcitrant chain gang prisoner Luke (Paul Newman): "What we've got here is (pause) failure to communicate." Play clip from Cool Hand Luke (1967) : (Captain's line) It was NOT: "What we have here is a failure to communicate" (although the line with the word 'a' was later sarcastically repeated by character Luke to the prison warden before he was shot) -- as: "What we got here is a failure to communicate." Play clip from Cool Hand Luke (1967) : (Luke's line) In The Graduate (1967) , Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) made a statement and then asked a question of the Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft) character. As he naively asked his question, the camera shot under her upraised leg, framing Ben underneath: - "For God's sake, Mrs. Robinson, here we are, you've got me into your house. You give me a drink. You put on music, now you start opening up your personal life to me and tell me your husband won't be home for hours... Mrs.

Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?" Play clip from The Graduate (1967) : (short version) (long version) He did NOT ask either of these two questions: "Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?" or "Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson?" Shortly later upstairs in her home, Mrs. Robinson went further and asked Benjamin: "Would you like me to seduce you?...Is that what you're trying to tell me?" Play clip from The Graduate (1967) : The misquote (in a number of variations) was heard in, for example, The Ladies Man (2000), Van Wilder (2002), and A Walk to Remember (2002). "Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?" (The Ladies Man (2000)) Ms. Doris Haver (Cynthia Fancher): "Mr. Wilder, are you trying to seduce me?" Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds): "Who, me? No!

Hey, hey..." (Van Wilder (2002)) In Planet of the Apes (1968) , captured astronaut George Taylor (Charlton Heston) screamed: "Take your stinkin' paws off me, you damn dirty ape!" Play clip from Planet of the Apes (1968) : He did NOT say: "Get your stinkin' paws off me, you damn dirty ape." In the original British caper film The Italian Job (1969) about a gang stealing gold bullion from a bank vault in Turin, this famous quote was heard from Cockney gangster Charlie Croker (Michael Caine) as the film ended: "Hang on a minute, lads, I’ve got a great idea." Play clip from The Italian Job (1969): He did not say: "I've got an idea," or "Hang on, lads.

I've got a great idea." "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" Play clip from The Italian Job (1969): The above line by actor Michael Caine was voted the favorite film one-liner in a 2003 poll of 1,000 British film fans, reported in The Telegraph. It demoted the previous most favorite line down to the # 2 spot - Rhett Butler's (Clark Gable) retort to Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh): "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" Vigilante SF cop 'Dirty' Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood), while holding his giant-sized .44 Magnum at a downed bank robber in the opening of Dirty Harry (1971) , said: "I know what you're thinkin'. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself.

But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?" Play clip from Dirty Harry (1971) : (beginning of film) He never said: "Do you feel lucky, punk?" The same full quotation is ritualistically repeated again almost verbatim at the film's conclusion, when Callahan confronted the killer Scorpio: "I know what you're thinkin', punk. You're thinkin': 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' And to tell you the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement.

But bein' this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and will blow your head clean off, you could ask yourself a question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" Play clip from Dirty Harry (1971) : (end of film) Misquotes were heard in a number of films, including: Short Circuit 2 (1988) - Robot Johnny Five imitates both Sylvester Stallone and Clint Eastwood in one line - Johnny Five: "Yo, come on, you bug-eyed geek! Do you feel lucky, punk?" Play clip from Short Circuit 2 (1988): Scary Movie 2 (2001) - Dwight Hartman confronting the Hell House Ghost Dwight (David Cross): "I know what you're thinkin'.

- Quora Quora Why is the last line of the movie Casablanca so memorable? "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Written Sep 16, 2013 Because it solidifies the redemption of two characters we've come to know and love. Rick has just lost Ilse again. This time, he told her to go instead of her disappearing, but he still lost her - and the last time that happened, he was thoroughly broken by the experience. It would be the easiest thing in the world to show him mournful over losing her a second time, but instead, the film shows that he actually meant everything he said in that last speech to her. His problems aren't worth a hill of beans and he's going to go back to the life he abandoned when she left him at the Paris train station, actively sticking his neck out for others and actively fighting for the good guys. Louis, on the other hand, has spent the movie being a supremely opportunistic worm. He's an extremely likable character, but that's more to do with Claude Rains' performance and charisma than anything Louis does. He certainly hasn't been a good man.

Yes, he's just lied about who killed Major Strasser, but that could have just been him looking out for his own. But then he suggests that he and Rick join up with the Free French, an action by which he really can't gain a thing - and Rick, who is a good man, finally acknowledges him as a friend with the final line. So it's a really pithy way of showing that both men have been redeemed over the course of the film, that it truly has changed them. It's not the culmination of either's arc throughout the story, but it's the film's way of showing that they're not going to backslide. It's rare you see a line that short nail the emotional release that this one does, and that's what makes it memorable.

Question: What movie ended with the line "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"?
Answer: Casablanca
