 Michael Curtiz
 

Important Quotations Explained

 
1. “You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.

“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.

“Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
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."
 
 
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."
 
 
3. Louis:   “I'm shocked, shocked, to find that gambling is going on in here."
 
 
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."
 
 
5. Rick:   “Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
