However, being Christmas Eve, you realize no bar will be open in this small town. So, you buy a six pack of beer at the grocery store. Jillian and you go to your car to drink the beer and to catch up with one another.

“Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.” It's December 1941. You are the owner of Cafe Americain, in the Moroccan coastal town of Casablanca. The town is under the control of the Free French government, but Nazi Germany has a strong presence and influence. You previously lived in Paris, but fled Paris in June 1940, when the Nazis moved in. You settled here and opened this bar, the most popular night club in this transient city. This city is full of people searching for a way out, fleeing the fascist wave. While in Paris, you fell in love with a young and mysterious Norwegian woman, Ilsa Lund. It was a passionate, but short, whirlwind romance. You made plans to flee Paris with Ilsa on a train to Marseilles, but she left you stranded on the train platform, sending a goodbye note by Sam, your trusted friend. It took you time to recover from this heartbreak. You had wanted to marry Ilsa, the only woman you have ever loved. Recently, the town has been buzzing with the news of the arrival of Victor Lazlo, a notorious leader of the Resistance. He arrived today, seeking to escape to Lisbon, with plans to eventually flee to America to continue his Resistance fight. You have recently come into possession of two stolen letters of transit. They are very valuable and represent a path to freedom for anyone who possesses them. One night Victor Lazlo enters your busy club, with a beautiful woman on his arm. This is a woman that you clearly recognize .... the woman that broke your heart .... the woman that left you stranded in the rain on a train platform in Paris. Lazlo enters the club with his arm around Ilsa Lund .... the woman that haunts your thoughts and dreams, "As Time Goes By."
