Trying to get into the part of Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) in a new version of Casablanca, aspiring actor Bob gets “I came to take the waters” OK. However, when told that Casablanca is in the desert and the next script line is “I must have been mistaken”, he just doesn’t come across as very sincere . . .
Like Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, Henri’s favorite line when asked why he was there was, “I came for the waters”. . . . David, Sf.G.
Until Gilbert–watching the classic movie channel–had seen the old Humphrey Bogart/Katharine Hepburn classic, African Queen, and had seen Bogey covered with leeches, he had never thought much about the problem. Now he was almost dehydrated, staying out of the water, fearing that leeches would attack and suck him dry of blood while in the water in spite of the tough scales that armored most of his body. . . . . David, Sf.G.
