for saleCasablanca prop chips for sale, only $3!

You don't have to schlep to that NYC auction to buy Casablanca prop chips. I have them for $3 each (plus $3 postage). Sort of. Almost. Whatever! They are the generic Monarch mold chips seen in the roulette scene in the movie. A young wife asks Bogart if Captain Louis Renault (played by the great Claude Rains, who steals the movie) will keep his word, that the couple will be allowed to fly to freedom if she sleeps with Renault, or she (broke) pays him off with money. So Bogart tells his dealer (in last picture below) to let the husband (back to camera) win at roulette when he bets on 22. (The blue chip at the top is engraved "50ยข", $3 extra for that chip; I have only two of them.) PayPal OK.

Here is one of the memorable lines (of many) from the film, about that situation:

[Annina is contemplating Renault's offer of exit visas for sex]

Annina: Oh, monsieur, you are a man. If someone loved you very much, so that your happiness was the only thing that she wanted in the world, but she did a bad thing to make certain of it, could you forgive her?

Rick: Nobody ever loved me that much.

Annina: And he never knew, and the girl kept this bad thing locked in her heart? That would be all right, wouldn't it?

Rick: You want my advice?

Annina: Oh, yes, please.

Rick: Go back to Bulgaria.

P.S. TV repair help question: on non-HD chanels, I have those annoying white lines atop of the screen (seen in the pictures). I think a repairman adjusted something wrong. Any ideas? .. ..... This is the first time I took screen shots from the TV with my camera, not bad, eh? In time I might get a better way to do it technology-wise.
