Maggie:I""m not living with you.We occupy the same cage, hat""s all.You know, that""s the first time you""ve raised your voice in a long time.Crack in the stone wall? I think that""s a fine sign.Mighty fine.BackgroundThe classic and much-loved romantic melodramaCasablanca(1942), always found on top-ten lists of films, is a masterful tale of two men vying for the same woman""s love in a love triangle.When his mother fetches a folded-up sleeping bag from he closet (with a louvered door) and unrolls it, Elliott watches her closely and is relieved when the creature doesn""t fall out onto he floor.A youthful, sappy counterpart o the film""s dark, con-artist counterpart, Harry Lime (Orson Welles), Holly is there to seek out his boyhood friend who had vaguely offered him a job (and sent him an airplane ticket), inviting him there to stay with him and author/write propaganda for a volunteer medical unit he runs.The innocent girl was ill-prepared for inhospitable and harsh western ranch life - nothing was what she had imagined...eye-shadow, mascara, lipstick, rouge...and then perfume, the spray kind.And then get this.In the middle of the Triboro Bridge - and this woman is beautiful - she changes her pantyhose!...I jump in the back seat and I whip it out and I said, you know what this is?...If she says, ""It""s love,"" you know, I""m gonna f--- her brains out.She goes wild, you know.And she said, ""It""s the greatest single experience of my life."" And she gave me a two hundred dollar tip and her phone number in Acapulco.While the other cabbies are talking, Travis becomes lost in his own world, and then describes their dangerous work environment with "pretty rough customers" and the latest threat - a knife-wielding crazy madman who cut up another cabbie at 122nd Street:Travis: I turned on the radio, some fleet driver from Bell just got all cut up.
