Great movie. Speaking of Orson Welles, one of my choices for most memorable scenes would be the brilliant opening of Touch of Evil. Casablanca is filled with memorable lines; one of my favorites, referring to Captain Renault, is "...oh, he's just like any other man only more so".
Very good! How about the last one, "I distrust a close-mouthed man..."Here's a couple more to chew on.
"I don't think you fully understand, Bigelow. You've been murdered".
"The barbarities of war are seldom committed by abnormal men. The tragedy of war is that these horrors are committed by normal men in abnormal situations" Hint: Spoken by the title character.

The "close-mouthed" line seems very familiar but I can't dredge up from my memory where its from."You've been murdered" has to be DOA.
No idea on the "barbarities of war" line. Sounds like something Robert E. Lee might have said but I'm guessing it ain't him.
Yea, the doctor to Frank Bigelow (Edmond O'Brien) in DOA."I distrust a close mouthed man..." Casper Gutman (Sidney Greenstreet) to Sam Spade (Bogie) in the Maltese Falcon.
Barbarities of war... Spoken by Breaker Morant (Edward Woodward) in the movie of the same name.
