Annina Asks Rick About Renault, Explained：by the throat
A young Bulgarian wife asks Rick whether Captain Renault can be trusted, since he offered the couple exit visas their money can't buy. Rick hears the whole story and gives her a blunt piece of advice: go back to Bulgaria. 'The devil has the people by the throat,' she says of home, which is why she can't.

What's really going on
The exchange is a warning delivered in the form of a question. Annina doesn't quite say what Renault wants; she circles it, asking whether he can be trusted and whether he keeps his word. Rick, who knows exactly what the offer means, answers with the story's bleakest image of Europe—'The devil has the people by the throat'—and still tells her to go back rather than take the deal. His advice sounds cruel and is also the only protection he can offer without getting involved. When Ilsa and Victor arrive moments later, the café's two plots overlap: refugees needing papers, and the woman Rick can't help wanting to save.
Theme
SurvivalThe young couple are trying to escape Europe, and Rick sends her back rather than see her pay Renault's price.
PowerRenault uses the exit visas he controls as leverage over people who have nothing left to trade.

このシーンについての質問
What does Renault want from Annina?
He's offered her and her husband exit visas even though they have no money, which means he wants something other than payment. The scene implies he expects Annina herself.
Why does Rick tell her to go back to Bulgaria?
It's his way of protecting her from a deal he knows is a trap. Refusing the visa keeps her from paying a price she can't afford.
What does "The devil has the people by the throat" mean?
It describes a people trapped and helpless under an oppressive regime. Annina uses it to explain why her family had to leave Bulgaria.
Why do Ilsa and Victor ask to sit far from Strasser?
Strasser is the German officer hunting Victor. Sitting close to him would draw attention, while sitting near Sam lets them keep the comfort of familiar music.
What kind of man does Rick say Renault is?
He says Renault is like any other man, only more so—meaning his appetites and his opportunism are simply stronger and more visible than most.
