The Royal Shakespeare Company's 2022 production of Much Ado About Nothing is currently on BBC iPlayer, with absolutely spectacular afrofuturist set design and costumes. Coincidentally, I visited the Tate's exhibition on the Casablanca Art School last week, and the design in the play reminds me of the brightly coloured abstract curves in a lot of their work (the two paintings I've posted here are Mohammed Melehi's Composition, and Mohammed Chabâa's Untitled).

Today I learned that the Hotel Mario intro music is taken from the score of the 1933 film adaptation of Little Women by none other than legendary Hollywood film composer Max Steiner. This is my new favorite piece of lore I am never shutting up about this

The Handcuff Situation: Part 3

You and Renault sat quietly in his office waiting for the remainder of the day to pass by. Nobody really bothered you after you were discovered making out on the desk, much to your relief. Only when they did, Renault shooed them back out saying that you were ill. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, when in fact it had only been a few hours, you and Renault dragged yourselves to Rick’s.

You found him in the far corner of the cafe watching the patrons come and go as he played a game of chess by himself like he always did. “Well we’re here.” Renault said, announcing himself. “Let’s get this over with.”

“Of course.” Rick said getting up, taking his cigarette with him. “Follow me.” You followed him to a back room. It was dimly lit, but you figured it was a store room as several unopened containers lined the room. “Wait here, I’ll be right back.” He told you, leaving you and Renault alone.

“I wonder who it is?” You thought out loud. Louis just shrugged. “I don’t know…”

Through the darkness Rick and a second man emerged beside him. “You!” Renault gasped. “What are you doing here?” He asked the man. You stood there quietly. You didn’t know who he was but Louis obviously did. “I bailed him out.” Rick answered. “He’s the best lock picker in Casablanca.”

“He’s also a thief. He was caught stealing from The Blue Parrot yesterday.” Renault added.

“I told you, I took what was mine!”

Renault rolled his eyes, still not believing him. “Anyways, I thought you would need my help Captain.” The man spoke with a sly grin, “That’s why I asked for you earlier.” The man told him.

“Really? How did you know?” Renault asked, looking increasingly annoyed.

“I found this on the floor of my cell and knowing your reputation…let’s just say I was right.” He replied, holding up a key.

You looked over at your boyfriend and placed your hands on your hips, that twinge of jealousy returning. Renault gulped and awkwardly adjusted his tie.

“I was going to use this in exchange for my release, but then Rick showed up. This is even better. The prefect of police is under my control now.”

“Give me that!” Louis yelled reaching for the key, but the man avoided him.

“On one condition.”

“What?”

“You give me back what is mine.” He requested, staring Renault down.

“And what exactly is yours?” Rick asked curiously.

“The parrot outside Ferrari’s cafe. He’s mine. I’d like him back before I go to America.” The man answered. Rick snorted. The parrot? You couldn’t believe this guy. Even Renault found it difficult to suppress a smile. “Oh, yes of course. I’ll get your parrot back for you.” He agreed and with that the man handed him the key.

Louis held the key up and smiled. “Well, do it already!” You hurried him. You each lifted your cuffed wrist and quickly he unlocked you both. You let out a sigh once the pressure from the cuff was finally released from your wrist. “Thank you.” You said to Rick. “Anytime.” He said with a wink, leaving the room and taking the other man with him.

“Let’s not do that ever again.” You said, turning to Renault. “Are you sure? I could always handcuff you to the bed instead?” You laughed and gave him a slight push. “I’ll pass.” He groaned pretending to appear disappointed as he followed you out of the room. “Let’s go home.”

As you exited the room, Yvonne greeted you looking excited and smelling like booze. “Is it true?!” She asked. Renault’s heart skipped a beat. Did someone find out?

“Is what true?” You asked, looking confused. “Senor Ferrari said you didn’t come to Rick’s last night because you were ill. I heard that you followed Captain Renault to work. Is it true?” You stared at her, still confused.

“Well didn’t you just talk to the doctor?”

“Who?”

“He just walked out with Rick, Doctor Germain. Are you pregnant?” Yvonne finally asked. Renault couldn’t resist and burst out laughing. You bit your lip. “Oh no, no.” Renault denied. Slowly, you turned towards him. “Actually…” You began. He stopped laughing and looked down at you. “I meant to tell you last night but we had that…problem.” “You mean…you really…you’re pregnant?” Renault asked, a surprised look across his face. You nodded your head. “That’s wonderful!” He exclaimed picking you up and kissing you. Rick padded him on the back. “A round of drinks for everyone on me!” Renault said, making the entire cafe cheer.

This wasn’t the way you had intended on telling him, but honestly you wouldn’t have changed a thing.

2 - classic film?

Ask Game

Rear Window or It Happened One Night are the two that come to mind. I wouldn't mind watching those again, and in fact, I probably should.

As a bonus: I didn't necessarily like Potemkin itself, but they redid the music for it in like 2001-ish and that's fucking hilarious. Just picture a room full of juniors and seniors in high school watching guys get thrown off a ship while the music's going "whOO! whOO!"
