   Toss up between that and his reply in this exchange:   
   Rick:  And remember, this gun is pointed directly at your heart.   
   Renault:  That happens to be my *least* vulnerable spot.   
   Or maybe what he says to the young husband who tries to bribe him in   
   the casino:   
   Renault:  Oh no! Not here please! Come to my office tomorrow morning.   
   We'll do everything businesslike.   
   Man:  We'll be there at six.   
   Renault:  I'll be there at ten.   
   Of course, probably his best line was spiked by the Warner Bros.   
   censors at the script stage.  When Rick has Sacha pack the drunken   
   Yvonne home, Renault's line was *supposed* to be:  "How extravagant   
   you are, throwing away women like that. Someday they may be   
   rationed."  In the film he says they may be "scarce", which removes   
   the another dark joke about life under Vichy and potentially under   
   direct Nazi rule.
