Hi
Please tell me what these lines mean.
Context: From the movie Casablanca.... The speaker says this to his former lover that she must go with her husband when she has been hoping for a life with him.
Ilsa: But what about us?
Rick: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.
Ilsa: When I said I would never leave you.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000007/?ref_=tt_trv_qu "And you never will. But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that."

) it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. The problems of 3 unimportant people are not important. ( Rick says this, but the audience knows that he believes what the three of them do is important, Victor must help the Allies to win the war.
