Although they are clearly in love, they avoid all questions about each other’s pasts. When they hear word that the German army is approaching Paris, Rick knows he will have to leave the city. Rick proposes to Ilsa, who tries her best to hide her anguish, saying she doesn’t plan that far in advance. Rick isn’t worried, however. He thinks they’ll leave together the next day for Marseille. At the train station the next day, Rick waits in the pouring rain, but Ilsa is nowhere to be found. Sam arrives and shows Rick a note. The note is from Ilsa and says that she can never see him again.

a young Bulgarian woman, Mrs. Brandel, approaches Rick to ask if Louis is “trustworthy.” Louis, as Rick knows, has a habit of offering female refugees exit visas in exchange for sex. Rick says Louis’s word is good, but, not wanting to let Mrs. Brandel’s new marriage be harmed, he arranges for her husband to win big at the roulette table so they can buy a visa on their own. Later, Laszlo asks to speak to Rick. He offers to buy the letters of transit, but Rick says he’ll never sell them. When Laszlo asks why, Rick replies, “Ask your wife.”
