MTI, you're right! Capt. Renault has the best lines, viz.:

[explaining his collaborating with the Nazis:] "I bend with the wind. At the moment the prevailing wind blows from Vichy."

"I never gamble. I am but a poor corrupt official."

[Later, during the raid on Rick's Place ordered by Strasser:] "Rick, I am surprised at you! Gambling in your establishment!" [said as he takes his payoff from the croupier and stuffs it in his uniform pocket]
