Casablanca
In the movie Casablanca, Ilsa fixes flowers at the window while Rick opens champagne. She walks over and joins him.
Rick says, "Who are you really? And what were you before? What did you do and what did you think? Hus?"
Ilsa says, "We said 'no questions."
Rick says, "Here's looking at you, kid."
What does it mean by "Here's looking at you, kid."? Could you please paraphrase the expression. Who is the kid?

Hi,
'Here is to . . . ' is a way of proposing a toast, which people 'drink to'.
eg Here's to your birthday.
eg Here's to the health of the King.
Rick is proposing a toast (hence the glasses of champagne).
Here's (to the pleasure of) looking at you.
A very romantic movie.
Best wishes, Clive
