Casablanca - I'm shocked!

*
From Casablanca (1942).

Captain Renault (Claude Rains) threatens to close up Rick's (Humphrey Bogart) Blue Parrot club.


Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?

Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]

Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.

[aloud] Everybody out at once!
