Trivia
This episode includes many references to the 1942 movie Casablanca including:
1) The name of Casey’s ex-girlfriend is Ilsa, the same name as Rick’s ex-girlfriend in Casablanca.
2) Casey’s ex-girlfriend gets on a plane seemingly never to see him again, the same as in Casablanca with Rick and Ilsa.
3) Chuck says “Don’t worry buddy, you’ll always have me”. In Casablanca the line was “We’ll always have Paris”.
4) Chuck says to Casey: “I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship”. The same famous line used in Casablanca by Rick to Captain “Louie” Renault.
5) When Ilsa meets Casey in the Buy More, the movie playing on the TV is Casablanca.
Quotes
Casey: I think I see a scenario where we both get out of here with acceptable losses.
Chuck: What exactly is your version of acceptable?
Casey: Breaks and punctures, possible loss of a limb, no major organ damage.
Ellie: Thank you.
Morgan: You’re welcome.
Ellie: For last night.
Morgan: You know nothing happened.
Ellie: Mostly thanks for that.
Chuck: I’m glad Casey had someone at least once in his life. I was beginning to think downstairs, he was built like a Ken doll.
Chuck: You know, Casey, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
(Casey knocks Chuck to the ground)
Chuck: Or maybe not.
