The police chief shuts down Rick's Cafe Americana, and Rick asks him why. The answer is "because I'm shocked, shocked to find gambling at this establishment, sir." Then a staffer comes up to the police chief and says: "your winnings sir." Indicating, of course, that the police chief himself has gambled there regularly. I thought that Casablanca was mainstream enough for most folks to get the reference. If you didn't, no attempt to sound more knowledgeable than you was intended. I'm sure you have cultural refererences that I wouldn't get too....and you are free to use them if you think they are funny. Dan M.
