I: Hello, Sam.

S: Hello, Miss Ilsa. I never expected to see you again.

I: It’s been a long time.

S: Yes, ma’am. A lot of water under the bridge.^①

I: Some of the old songs, Sam.

S: Yes, ma’am.

I: Where is Rick?

S: I don’t know. I ain’t seen him all night.^②

I: When will he be back?

S: Not tonight no more. He ain’t coming... He went home.^②

I: Does he always leave so early?

S: Oh, he never... well, he’s got a girl up to the Blue Parrot. Goes up there all the time.

I: You used to be a much better liar, Sam.

S: Leave him alone, Miss Ilsa. You’re bad luck to him.

I: Play it once, Sam. For old times’ sake.^③

S: I don’t know what you mean, Miss Ilsa.

I: Play it, Sam. Play “As Time Goes By.”

S: I can’t remember it, Miss Ilsa. I’m a little rusty on it.

I: I’ll hum it for you. Sing it, Sam.

I：你好，山姆。

S：你好，依爾莎小姐。真沒想到還能再見到您。

I：好久沒見。

S：是的，小姐。時光一去不復還。

I：放首老歌吧，山姆。

S：好的，小姐。

I：里克在哪兒？

S：我不知道，我整晚沒看到他。

I：他什么時候回來？

S：今晚沒來……應該不會來了……他回家了。

I：他總是這么早就走嗎？

S：他從不……嗯，他在藍鸚鵡有個女友，他總到那兒去。

I：你還是過去比較會撒謊，山姆。

S：別去打擾他，依爾莎小姐。遇到你，他總倒霉。

I：就彈一次吧，山姆，看在過去的份兒上。

S：我不知道你說的哪首，依爾莎小姐？

I：彈吧，山姆。就彈《時光飛逝》。

S：我記不起來了，依爾莎小姐。我有點兒生疏了。

I：我替你哼調子。唱出來，山姆。

L: It’s nothing, just a little cut. We had to get through a window.

R: This might come in handy.

L: Thank you.

R: Had a close one, eh?^①

L: Yes, rather.

R: Don’t you sometimes wonder if it’s worth all this? I mean, what you’re fighting for.

L: We might as well question why we breathe.If we stop breathing, we’ll die. If we stop fighting our enemies, the world will die.

R: What of it? Then it’ll be out of its misery^②.

L: You know how you sound, Monsieur Blaine? Like a man who’s trying to convince himself of something he doesn’t believe in his heart. Each of us has a destiny. For good, or for evil.

R: I get the point.

L: I wonder if you do. I wonder if you know that you’re trying to escape from yourself and that you’ll never succeed.

R: You seem to know all about my destiny.

L: I know a good deal more about you than you suspect. I know, for instance, that you’re in love with a woman. It’s perhaps a strange circumstance that we both should be in love with the same woman. The first evening I came into this café, I knew there was something between you and Ilsa. Since no one is to blame, I demand no explanation.^③ 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.

R: You love her that much?

L: Apparently you think of me only as the leader of a cause. Well, I am also a human being. Well, I am also a human being. Yes, I love her that much.

L：沒什么，不過是個小口子。沒法子我們只能從窗戶爬出來。

R：這可能更容易。

L：謝謝。

R：死里逃生，嗯？

L：對，挺危險。

R：你有時候會不會想這值得嗎？我是指你為之奮斗的事業。

L：還不如問問為什么我們要呼吸。如果不呼吸，我們就會死，如果我們停止與敵人的斗爭，世界就會滅亡。

R：又怎么樣呢？要是那樣，苦難也就結束了。

L：你知道你的口氣像什么嗎，布萊恩先生？像個想用內心不相信的事情來說服自己的人。我們每個人都有自己的命運，或好或壞。

R：我明白了。

L：我懷疑你是否真能理解。你知不知道你在逃避你自己，而且這根本做不到。

R：你似乎對我的命運了如指掌。

L：我知道你的事比你了解的要多。我知道你愛上一個女人。聽起來可能有點兒怪，我們兩個愛著同一個女人。走進咖啡館的第一個晚上，我就知道你和依爾莎之間不尋常。既然不是你們的錯，也就不必跟我解釋了，我只求你一件事。你不愿意給我過境信函，沒關系。不過我要我的妻子安全，我拜托你，用那些文件帶她離開卡薩布蘭卡。

R：你那么愛她嗎？

L：或者你只把我想成一個事業的領導者。我也是人。對，我深愛著她。

R: If you don’t mind, fill in the names. That’ll make it more official.

C: You think of everything, don’t you?

R: And the names are Mr. And Mrs. Victor Laszlo.

I: But why my name, Richard?

R: Because you’re getting on that plane.

I: I don’t understand. What about you?

R: I’m staying with him till the plane gets safely away.

I: No, Richard. What has happened? Last night you said...

R: Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of 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. ^①

I: But Richard, No, I...

R: 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 wind up in a concentration camp. Isn’t that true, Louis?

C: I’m afraid Major Strasser would insist.

I: You’re saying this only to make me go.

R: 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 ground 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.

I: But what about us?

R: We’ll always have Paris. We didn’t have... We’d lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.

I: When I said I would never leave you.

R: 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. ^② Someday you’ll understand that. Now, now, here’s looking at you, kid.

R：如果你不介意，請填寫您的名字。那看起來更正式一些。

C：你考慮得真周到。

R：名字是維克托·拉斯羅先生和他的夫人。

I：為什么是我的名字，理查德？

R：因為你要上那架飛機。

I：我不明白，那你呢？

R：我留在這里看著他，等飛機安全離開為止。

I：不，理查德，你怎么回事？昨晚你說過……

R：昨晚我們說了很多。你說我要為我倆考慮。于是我想了很多，想來想去只有一個結論，你跟維克托一起上那架飛機。你是屬于他的。

I：可是理查德，不，我……

R：現在好好聽我說。知不知道如果你留在這里會有什么后果，十有八九我倆都得進集中營。對不對？路易斯？

C：恐怕斯特拉瑟少校會這么做。

I：你這樣說只是為了讓我走。

R：我這樣說是因為那是事實。我們都明白你屬于維克托，你是他工作的一部分，是激勵他前行的精神支柱。如果飛機起飛，你不在上面，你會后悔的。或者不是今天，或者不是明天，不過很快，而且一輩子都會后悔。

I：那我們呢？

R：我們擁有巴黎。以前沒有……你來卡薩布蘭卡后，我們失而復得。昨天晚上我們把它找回來了。

I：我說過我永遠不離開你。

R：你永遠不會。但我也有工作要做，我要去的地方你不能跟來，我要做的事你也無法參與。依爾莎，扮清高我并不在行。但是顯然，在這個瘋狂的世界上，我們三個小人物之間的問題，算不上什么大問題。總有一天你會明白的，而現在……我只能送上我的祝福，親愛的。
