What was he point of Rick saying "I stick my neck out for no one.

1. It encapsulates America's reluctance to get involved with the war
2. Although it seems to show Rick's view of life, it's just not true, but it is a flaw that reveals the hero's ultimate likability
The line is a thesis which the whole movie spends dispr

What is the point of Carl saying "I have already given him the best, knowing he is German and would take it anyway

Even though Carl is minor character, this line gives us a lot to work with. Because of this line we know that Carl harbors a deep resentment towards Nazis. Without this line, we wouldn't have given Carl a second thought.

Provide two examples of how Rick pushed against segregation and the treatment of black people

1. He says "I don't buy or sell human beings"
2. Sam is treated as a partner and gets 25% of the profits

What makes Casablanca such a classic drama?

There isn't one person in this bar who doesn't have an angle, who isn't looking to push their own agenda. A step further, all these angles clash, which is where we get our conflict and drama.

What is the point of this exchange:
Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Renault: Oh, thank you ve

Renault is the comic relief in Casablanca

Why is this line so memorable: "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"?

It's the last line in Casablanca, and it a bit tongue-in-cheek as Rick speaks of a beginning as the movie is ending

Why is "Round up the usual suspects" a memorable line?

When he tells his staff to "round up the usual suspects" and doesn't turn Rick in, we cheer for Renault in finally coming over to the good guys' side

When Rick says, "We'll always have Paris" what does he mean?

He's letting Ilsa know that he still loves her and forgives her for leaving and will remember her and their time in Paris fondly.

Why is "of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine" so poignant?

The inciting incident of the film is when Ilsa walks into the bar. Later, Rick shows the audience how devastated he is that she is married to another man. This makes the inciting incident even more memorable and commanding.
