A quote from the site:

"Shortly after, they are interrupted by the presence of Capt. Renault and Laszlo coming from the bar. Rick suppresses his feelings in his formal introduction to the "Mademoiselle," treating her like a stranger. Ilsa interrupts Renault's formal courtesies and personally introduces "Mr. Laszlo" to Rick. To Renault's surprise, Rick joins them for a drink, departing from his normal solitary style: "Well, a precedent is being broken." Although taken aback by Ilsa's appearance, Rick generously compliments Laszlo on his freedom-fighting efforts - he is notably impressed by the Czech's exceptional accomplishments:

Laszlo: This is a very interesting cafe. I congratulate you.

Rick: And I congratulate you.

Laszlo: What for?

Rick: Your work.

Laszlo: Thank you. I try.

Rick: We all try. You succeed.

Watchful and curious, Renault probes into Rick's and Ilsa's past awareness of each other - during their last meeting:

Renault: I can't get over you two. She was asking about you earlier, Rick, in a way that made me extremely jealous.

Ilsa: (to Rick) I wasn't sure you were the same. Let's see, the last time we met was -

Rick (finishing her sentence) La Belle Aurore.

Ilsa: How nice. You remembered. But of course, that was the day the Germans marched into Paris.

In alternating close-ups of their faces, Rick (staring intently at her) and Ilsa (sporting an irrepressible smile) discuss the last time they saw each other during the final days of unconquered Paris, at La Belle Aurore, another bistro. [She was Rick's ex-lover from an affair in Paris just before the Germans occupied the city.] He recollects back - with faint anguish:

Rick: Not an easy day to forget.

Ilsa: No.

Rick: I remember every detail. The Germans wore grey. You wore blue.

Ilsa: Yes. I put that dress away. When the Germans march out, I'll wear it again.

Renault: Ricky, you're becoming quite human. I suppose we have to thank you for that, Mademoiselle."
