Reflections on Life and Storytelling
Morgan How long have you been away from home?
Slim This is about the time for it, isn't it?
Morgan The time for what?
Slim The story of my life. How do you want me to begin?
Morgan I've got a pretty fair idea already.
Slim Who told you?
Morgan You did. That slap in the face you took.
Slim Yeah, what about it?
Morgan You hardly blinked an eye. It takes a lot of practice to be able to do that. Yeah, I know a lot about you, Slim.
Slim The next time I get slapped, I'd better do something about it.
[She storms out]
Morgan Hey, you forgot your drink.
Slim I don't want it.
Morgan Who's sore now?
Slim I am.
[She slams the door behind her]
Debate Over Eddie's Character and Relationship
Johnson I don't see what you want that rummy around.

Johnson Well, he's no good now...Is he related to you or something?
Morgan Nope.
Johnson What do you look after him for?
Morgan He thinks he's lookin after me.
Planning a Departure and Job Confirmation
Morgan I was getting you a ticket on the plane this afternoon that leaves at four. Can you make it?
Slim Sure. You took that job, didn't you?
Morgan Uh huh. See, I figure this way, you wouldn't get your feet wet.
Slim Yeah, that's right.
Morgan Well, that's what you wanted, wasn't it?
Slim Sure, but I just...You want me to go, don't you?
Morgan Yes, I want you to go.
Slim OK, Steve.
Morgan Help her get on that plane, will you Cricket?
Cricket I sure will, Harry.
Morgan Now I'm gonna be pretty busy from now on, so I probably won't see you again. If I ever get up your way...
Slim Yeah, do that. I'll leave my address with Frenchie so you can find me.
Morgan Maybe I'll know how to whistle by then. So long, Slim.
Slim So long, Steve. Well, it was nice while it lasted.
[he leaves]
Perceptions and Misunderstandings in Relationships
Morgan What made you so mad?
Slim I've been mad ever since I met you.
Morgan Most people are.
Slim One look and you made up your mind just what you wanted to think about me. You were... Oh, what's the use?
Morgan Go ahead, keep on going.
Slim You don't know me, Steve. It doesn't work. I-I brought that bottle up here to make you feel cheap. That didn't work either. Instead, I'm the one who feels cheap now. I've never felt that way before. I want...I thought that maybe...Go on, get out of here, will you, before I make a complete fool of myself.
[Her tough facade cracks]
A Conversation About Opinions and Choices
Slim Who was the girl, Steve?
Morgan Who was what girl?
Slim The one who left you with such a high opinion of women? She must have been quite a gal. You think I lied to you about this, don't you? Well, it just happens there's thirty-odd dollars here, not enough for boat fare or any other kind of fare. Just enough to be able to say no if I feel like it. And you can have it if you want it.
[She holds out the money]
Morgan I'm sorry, Slim. But I still say you're awful good. And I wouldn't...
Slim You wouldn't take anything from anybody, would you?
Morgan That's right.
Slim You know, Steve, you're not very hard to figure. Only at times. Sometimes I know exactly what you're going to say - most of the time. The other times , the other times you're just a stinker.
[She sits in his lap; She plants a kiss on his lips]
Morgan What'd you do that for?
Slim Been wondering whether I'd like it.
Morgan What's the decision?
Slim I don't know yet.
Slim It's even better when you help.
Uncertainty of Departure and Connection
Morgan It'll be rough, I'm broke. If we do get out of here, it'll be with a couple of hundred gallons of gas and a few francs, just about enough to get us to Port de Prince, maybe.
Slim I've never been there.
Morgan I don't know when you'll get back home. Could be a long time.
Slim Could be forever. Are you afraid of that? I'm hard to get, Steve. All you have to do is ask me.
Morgan How long will it take ya to pack?
Ownership and Boundaries in Relationships
Slim Uh, sure you won't change your mind about this?
[She holds up the bills again]
Morgan Uh-huh.
Slim This belongs to me and so do my lips. I don't see any difference.
Morgan Well, I do.
Slim Okay. You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together - and blow.
[She opens his door and pauses]

Taglines At Last! Bogart makes love to his kind of woman!
Hidden Dangers in Everyday Situations
Morgan It's a good thing you didn't get me in that tub.
Slim Look out for those strings, Steve. You're liable to trip and break your neck.
Frenchie Strings? I didn't see any strings.
Slim They just don't show, Frenchie.
A Moment Before the Performance
Cricket Stick around for a while, she's gonna sing.
Morgan I'll be right back.
Slim Give her my love.
Morgan I'd give her my own if she had that on.
[about her slinky dress]
Courage and Fear in a Dangerous Mission
Morgan Just how are you gonna get him away?
[about Pierre Velmar]
De Bursac You don't think much of me, Captain Morgan. You're wondering why they have chosen me for this mission. I wonder too. As you know, I'm not a brave man. On the contrary, I'm always frightened. I wish I could borrow your nature for a while, Captain. When you meet danger, you never think of anything except how you will circumvent it. The word failure does not even exist for you, while I - I think always suppose I fail and then I'm frightened.
Morgan Yeah, I can easily see how it wouldn't take much courage to get a notorious patriot off Devil's Island, but uh, just for professional reasons, I'd like to know how you're gonna do it.
De Bursac We will find a way. It might fail, and if it does, and I'm-I'm still alive, I will try to pass on my information, my mission, to someone else. Perhaps to a better man who does not fail, because there's always someone else. That is the mistake the Germans always make with people they try to destroy. There will be always someone else...Originally, we planned to do everything from here, but then because of my own clumsiness, it was impossible. And that's the reason we have to go with you.
Morgan Well, I couldn't even get you on the dock. They've got a man down there watching. There's one upstairs. They're all over the place. How would I get you through the streets?
De Bursac How will you go?
Morgan They're watching me to find you. As long as I haven't got you along, I can at least get on the boat. There'll be a fog again, and the tide will turn a little after midnight. I can cut loose and drift out beyond the breakwater before I start my engines. I'll still have trouble enough even without you...
De Bursac Captain Morgan is right. This is not his fight, yet. Someday I hope, it may be because we could use him. You have done enough for us already. Gerard told me of your refusing Renard's offer to give us up.
Morgan How do you know I won't do it yet?
De Bursac There are many things a man will do, but betrayal for a price is not one of yours.
Decisions and Consequences in Departure Plans
Slim Hello Steve.
Morgan I thought you were gonna put her on the plane. What'sa matter, didn't it go?
[to Cricket; to Slim]
Slim Yes, it went but I decided not to.
Morgan Oh, you did. You know, I went to a lot of trouble to get you out of here.
Slim That's why I didn't go.
Morgan Yeah. You dames. A guy goes out and breaks his neck to...well, I might have expected it.
Slim Steve? You're not sore, are you?
Morgan Look. It would be alright if I had any dough but...
Slim I got a refund on that ticket. Here.
[She hands him a wad of bills]
Morgan Yeah, that's gonna help a lot. You better hang on to it...
Slim We'll be alright, Steve. I've got a job.
Morgan Doin what?
Slim Frenchie seems to think I can sing.
Morgan Well, it's his place.
Slim Sometimes you make me so mad I could...
Morgan ...you could do what?
A Request for Johnson's Wallet
Slim Hello.
Morgan Let's have it.
Slim What do you want?
Morgan Johnson's wallet.
Slim What?
Morgan Come on.
Slim What are you talking about? Hey mister, what's got into you? What do you think you're gonna do?
[He takes her by the arm into his across-the-corridor room, and locks the door behind him]
Morgan I'm gonna get that wallet, Slim.
Slim I'd rather you wouldn't call me Slim. I'm a little too skinny to take it kindly.
Morgan Quit the baby talk. Which is it?
Slim You know, Steve, I wouldn't put it past you. I didn't know you were a hotel detective.
[She pulls the wallet from inside her checkered suit and hands it over]
Morgan Johnson's my client.
Slim He doesn't speak so well of you.
Morgan He's still my client. You oughta pick on somebody to steal from that doesn't owe me money.
Slim He dropped it and I picked it up.
Morgan And you were gonna give it back to him, of course.
Slim No, no I wasn't. I don't like him.
Morgan That's a pretty good reason.
Slim Besides, I need boat fare to get out of Martinique.
A Curious Question About Bees
Eddie Say, was you ever bit by a dead bee?
Beauclerc I have no memory of ever being bit by any kind of bee.
Slim Were you?
[interjecting]
Eddie You're alright, lady. You and Harry's the only one that ever...
Morgan Don't forget Frenchie.
Eddie That's right. You and Harry and Frenchie. You know, you got to be careful of dead bees if you're goin around barefooted, cause if you step on them they can sting you just as bad as if they was alive, especially if they was kind of mad when they got killed. I bet I been bit a hundred times that way.
Slim You have? Why don't you bite them back?
Eddie That's what Harry always says. But I ain't got no stinger.
