| Young Couple in Casablanca |

Definition
Young Couple: Bulgarian couple who are just married and want to travel to America. Wife was considering sleeping with Captain Reynaud (a sexual extortionist). Many girls did that in the day to get VISA's. Rick's reaction to the girl asking if he has ever felt to torn is bitter because of Illsa. This makes the audience feel pathos towards his and Illsa's relationship
Ironice because Illsa is asking Rick at this point to help her and her husband get out of Casablanca |

| They already have VISA's but bring the young couple their brandy, this is comic relief. Appeals to the film makers to include this scene because it is a parallel to the young couple wanting to get VISA's like the old couple was already able to |
