A 30-second spot. The screen shows a poster for the movie Casablanca. Dooley Wilson is singing “… You must remember this…” QUICK DISSOLVE to footage in which Bogart, at a table in his cafe, is being questioned by Major Strasser and Herr Heinze. Claude Raines looks on, bemused.
RICK … I was born in New York City, if that’ll clear things up any.
STRASSER (to Rick, amiably). I understand you came here from Paris at the time of the Occupation.
RICK: Well, there seems to be no secret about that.
STRASSER Are you one of those people who cannot imagine the Germans in their beloved Paris?
RICK: It’s not particularly my beloved Paris.
HEINZE (with a slight laugh) Can you imagine us in London?
RICK When you get there, ask me.
CLAUDE RAINES (laughing) Oh! Diplomatist!
STRASSER (Digging into the caviar) How about New York?
RICK There are certain sections of New York I would not advise you to try to invade.
CUT TO a Mandami for Mayor poster as Dooley Wilson sings “…The fundamental things apply, as time goes by.”
