What's really going on
The meeting is a negotiation dressed as a condolence call. Ferrari starts with sympathy for Ugarte, and Rick immediately names the performance: 'You're a fat hypocrite. You don't feel any sorrier for Ugarte than I do.' From there it becomes a deal about the letters, with Ferrari offering to take the risk and keep only 'a small percentage'—plus, of course, incidental expenses. Rick lets him talk and answers with the flat refusal to drink in the morning and a noncommittal 'I'll tell him when he comes in.' Neither man pretends the relationship is friendship; they both know the letters make Rick valuable, and they both want to see who blinks first.
Theme
MoneyThe letters are valuable only as merchandise, and Ferrari's whole visit is about who will profit from them.
DeceptionFerrari performs grief he doesn't feel, and Rick calls out the act before the real business begins.

このシーンについての質問
What are the letters everyone is talking about?
They're the stolen transit letters that let someone leave Casablanca, and Ugarte had them before he was killed. Now Ferrari, Renault, and Strasser all want them.
Why does Ferrari visit Rick?
He wants to handle the sale of the letters for a percentage, and he suspects Rick has them or knows where they are. He tries to sell Rick a partnership.
What does "take me into your confidence" mean?
It means to treat someone as a trusted insider and share what you really know. Ferrari uses it as a pitch: tell me the truth and we'll profit together.
Why does Rick say he never drinks in the morning?
It's a polite refusal of Ferrari's offer to drink with him, and it also keeps the meeting at arm's length—Rick won't be softened up over a glass.
Why does Ferrari say Rick is 'in good company'?
Because Renault and Strasser also suspect Rick knows where the letters are. Ferrari's point is that Rick isn't fooling anyone, so he might as well deal.
