Valentine's Gift: We'll Always Have Paris

As you know, Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14. Here's my Valentine's Gift for you: one of the best love scenes ever filmed (from the movie Casablanca).

What if Ilsa had stayed with Rick? That's what many of us hope everytime we watch this movie. But sometimes love has to transcend desire...

RICK Louis, have your man go with Mr.Laszlo and take care of his luggage.
RENAULT Certainly Rick, anything you say. Find Mr. Laszlo's luggage and put it on the plane.
ORDERLY Yes, sir. This way please.
RICK If you don't mind, you fill in the names. That will make it even more official.
RENAULT You think of everything, don't you?
RICK (quietly) And the names are Mr. and Mrs. Victor Laszlo.
ILSA But why my name, Richard?
RICK Because you're getting on that plane.
ILSA (confused) I don't understand. What about you?
RICK I'm staying here with him 'til the plane gets safely away.
ILSA No, Richard, no. What has happened to you? Last night we said --
RICK -- Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well, I've done a lot of it since then and it all adds up to one thing. You're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong.
ILSA (protesting) But Richard, no, I, I --
RICK -- 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?
RENAULT I'm afraid Major Strasser would insist.
ILSA You're saying this only to make me go.
RICK 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 the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it.
ILSA No.
RICK Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.
ILSA But what about us?
RICK We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we'd lost it, until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.
ILSA And I said I would never leave you.
RICK 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. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now... Here's looking at you, kid.
