Casablanca comic

3. With the coming
of the Second World War... ...
many eyes in imprisoned Europe

4. turned hopefully, or desperately...
...toward the freedom of the Americas.
Lisbon became the great embarkation point

5. Paris to Marseilles...
But not everybody could get to Lisbon
directly. And so a torturous, roundabout
refugee trail sprang up.

6. ...across the Mediterranean
to Oran.

7. Then, by train or auto or foot,
across the rim of Africa...

8. ...to Casablanca in French Morocco.

9. Here, the fortunate ones,
through money or
influence or luck...

10. ...might obtain exit visas
and scurry to Lisbon.

11. And from Lisbon to the New World.

12. But the others wait in Casablanca.
And wait......and wait…..and wait

13. To all officers:
Two German couriers
carrying official documents
murdered on train from Oran.

14. Murderer and possible accomplices
headed for Casablanca.

15. Round up all suspicious characters
and search them for stolen
document.
Important.

16. May we see your papers?
I don't think I have them on me.
- In that case, you'll have to come along.

17. Wait. It's possible that I...
Yes. Here they are.
These papers expired three weeks ago.
You'll have to come along.

18. Halt! Halt!

19. What on earth is going on
there?
- I don't know, my dear.

20. Monsieur.
perdon, madame.
Have you not heard?

21. We hear very
little, and we
understand
even less.

22. Two German couriers were
found murdered in the desert.
The unoccupied desert.

23. This is the customary roundup of
refugees, liberals...
...and, of course, a beautiful young
girl for Renault, the prefect of
police.

24. Along with these unhappy
refugees, the scum of
Europe has gravitated to
Casablanca.
Some of them have
been waiting years
for a visa.

25. I beg of you, monsieur,
watch yourself.
Be on guard. This place
is full of vultures.

26. Vultures
everywhere.
Everywhere!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Not at all.
Au revoir
Madame

27. Au revoir.
What an amusing little fellow.
Waiter!

28. I've left my wallet in the
hotel.
What, dear?
Oh! How silly of me!

31. Perhaps tomorrow
we'll be on the plane.

32. Heil Hitler
It is good to see you again,
Major Strasser.
Thank you, thank you.

33. May I present Captain Renault,
police prefect of Casablanca.
Major Strasser.

34. Unoccupied France
welcomes you
to Casablanca.
Thank you, captain.
It's good to be here.

35. Major Strasser, my aide,
Lieutenant Casselle.

36. Captain Tonnelli.
The Italian service at
your command.

37. That is kind of you.

39. You may find the climate
of Casablanca a trifle
warm.

40. We Germans must get
used to all climates,
from Russia to the
Sahara.

41. Perhaps you weren't
referring to weather.
- What else,
- my dear Major?

42. By the way, the murder of
the couriers. What has
been done?

43. Realizing the importance
of the case my men are
rounding up twice the
usual number of
suspects.

44. But we know already
who the murderer is.
Good.
Is he in custody?

45. No hurry.
Tonight he'll be at Rick's.
Everybody comes to
Rick's.

46. I've already heard about
this café. And also about
Mr. Rick himself.

48. Waiting, waiting, waiting.
I'll never get out of here.
I'll die in Casablanca.

49. But can't you make it just
a little more?
Please?
Sorry,
but diamonds are a drug
on the market.

50. Everybody sells diamonds.
There are diamonds
everywhere.
2400.
All right.

51. Whispering…..

52. The trucks are waiting.
The men are waiting.
Everything------
Shhhhhhh!!!

53. It's the fishing smack Santiago.
It leaves at 1 tomorrow night,
here from the end of La Medina.
Third boat.
Thank you. Thank you.
Remember, in cash.
And bring 15,000 francs in cash.

54. Will you ask Rick if he'll
have a drink with us?
Yes, Madame?
Uh, waiter.

55. What makes saloon-
keepers so
snobbish?
Madame, he never drinks with
customers. Never. I have
never seen him.

56. Perhaps if you told him I ran the
second largest banking house in
Amsterdam.

57. The second largest? That wouldn't
impress Rick. The leading banker in
Amsterdam is now the pastry chef in
our kitchen.

58. We have something to
look forward to.
And his father is the bell boy.

59. I'm sorry sir, this is a
private room.

60. Of all the nerve! Who do you think...?
I know there's gambling in there !
There's no secret .
You dare not keep me out of here!
You

61. Yes? What's the trouble?
ABDUL
This gentleman --
GERMAN
RICK
Your cash is good at the bar.
GERMAN
What ! Do you know who I am?
Yes? What's the
trouble?
This gentleman ….

62. I've 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 very much mistaken.

63. Hello Ugarte.
Uh, excuse me, please.
Hello, Rick.

64. What! Do you
know who I am?
Your cash is good
at the bar

65. I do .
You're lucky the bar
is open to you.

66. This is outrageous. I shall
report it to the Angriff!

67. Huh. You know, Rick, watching you just
now with the Deutsche Bank, one would
think you'd been doing this all your life.

68. Well, what makes you
think I haven't?

69. -- You thought what?
Oh, nothing. But when you
first came to Casablanca,
I thought --

70. What right do I have to think?

72. May I?
Too bad about those two
German couriers, wasn't it?

73. They got a lucky break. Yesterday
they were just two German clerks.
Today they're the 'Honored Dead‘.'.

74. I forgive you.
You are a very cynical person,
Rick, if you'll forgive me for
saying so.

75. Will you have a drink with
me please?
I forgot. You never drink
with... I'll have another,
please.
No!.

76. If I gave you any thought,
I probably would.
You despise me, don't you?

77. But why? Oh, you object to the kind of business
I do, huh? But think of all those poor refugees
who must rot in this place if I didn't help them.
That's not so bad. Through ways of my own I
provide them with exit visas .

78. For a price, Ugarte, for a price.

79. But think of all the poor devils who
cannot meet Renault's price. I get
it for them for half. Is that so
parasitic?

80. I don't mind a parasite.
I object to a cut-rate one.

81. Well, Rick, after tonight I'll be
through with the whole business, and
I am leaving finally this Casablanca.

82. Who did you bribe for your visa?
Renault or yourself?

83. Myself.
I found myself much more reasonable .

84. Look, Rick, do you know what this
is? Something that even you have
never seen.

85. Letters of transit
signed by General de Gaulle. Cannot
be rescinded, not even questioned.
One moment!

86. Tonight I'll be selling those for more
money than even I have ever dreamed
of, and then, addio Casablanca!

87. You know, Rick, I have
many friends in Casablanca, but
somehow, just because you despise me
you're the only one I trust.

88. Perhaps an hour, perhaps
a little longer .
Will
you keep these for me?
Please.
For how long?

89. Don't be afraid of that. Please
keep them for me. Thank you. I
knew I could trust you.
I don't want them here overnight.

90. Yes, Monsieur.
Oh, waiter. I'll be
expecting some
people. If anybody asks
for me, I'll be right here.

91. Rick, I hope you are
more impressed with
me now, huh? If you'll
forgive me, I'll share
my good luck with
your roulette wheel.

92. Just a moment .

93. Just a moment .
Yeah, I heard a rumor that those
German couriers were carrying
letters of transit.
Yeah, I heard a rumor that those
German couriers were carrying
letters of transit.

94. UGARTE
Huh? I heard that rumor, too. Poor
devils .
Huh? I heard that rumor,
too. Poor devils .

95. Yes, you're right, Ugarte. I
am a little more impressed
with you.

96. Hello, Rick.
Hello, Ferrari. How's
business at
the Blue Parrot?
Fine, but I would like to
buy your cafe .
