Laszlo:

Rick:
You seem to know all about my destiny.

Laszlo:
I know a good deal more about you than you suspect. I know, for instance, that you're in love with a woman. It is perhaps a strange circumstance that we both should be in love with the same woman.

Rick:
You love her that much?

Laszlo:
Apparently you think of me only as the leader of a cause. Well, I'm also a human being. Yes, I love her that much.
