"Ilsa too reverberates with Rick, especially when she justly calls him a coward and weakling."

Objection!

Ilsa didn't "justly" call Rick a coward and a weakling! The evidence is overwhelming that Rick is neither of those things, and Ilsa immediately acknowledges that her characterization of his motives is unjust. Rick provided guns to Ethiopia and fought the Fascists in Spain. There isn't a cowardly or weak bone in his body.

She merely calls Rick a coward and a weakling because she's so desperate to get the papers for Victor, and frustrated that Rick apparently isn't going to give them.
