Bogart Never Says Play It Again Sam
And the answer is: nobody. That line isn't in the moving-picture show. We get the full scoop from the website The Phrase Finder:
This is well-known equally ane of the well-nigh widely misquoted lines from films. The actual line in the moving picture is 'Play it, Sam'. Something approaching 'Play information technology again, Sam' is first said in the motion-picture show by Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) in an exchange with the pianoforte role player 'Sam' (Dooley Wilson):
Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For sometime times' sake.
Sam: I don't know what you mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play "As Fourth dimension Goes By."
Sam: Oh, I can't think it, Miss Ilsa. I'k a little rusty on it.
Ilsa: I'll hum it for you. Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum…
Ilsa: Sing it, Sam.
The line is usually associated with Humphrey Bogart and later in the film his character Rick Blaine has a similar exchange, although his line is simply 'Play information technology':
Rick: You know what I want to hear.
Sam: No, I don't.
Rick: Y'all played it for her, you can play it for me!
Sam: Well, I don't call up I tin remember…
Rick: If she tin can stand up it, I tin can! Play it!

So at that place you have it. Information technology'south about like hearing that Bugs Bunny never said, "What'due south up, Medico?"
The plot of the film is quite nuanced and complex, taking place during 1942 in the city of Casablanca, Morocco, which is a magnet for refugees and shady agents on both sides of WWII considering of its location on the coastline of Africa downwardly from Gibraltar. I won't endeavour to summarize the whole thing here, simply it has a nice setup and a fascinating moral effect. The setup is that Rick, the owner of Rick's Cafè, a gambling den and general meeting place for those in the know, had been madly in dearest with a woman named Ilse in 1940. He'd met her in Paris right at the showtime of the state of war. Okay. She'd thought at the time that her husband, a Czech resistance fighter named Victor Laszlo, had died in a concentration army camp. When the husband showed up, alive and well, she'd gone off with him without a discussion to Rick. Now, in the film's nowadays, she'due south in Casablanca with said husband and runs into Rick there. The moral issue? Should Rick assistance Ilsa and her husband to escape the Nazis by giving them false messages of transit, or should he simply help the husband become away and keep Ilse with him? (I'g oversimplifying madly here.) The hubby actually knows that Ilse loves Rick and is willing to leave by himself. So what should Rick do? (I get a little irritated with the idea that it's upwardly to the two men to make the conclusion.) At the last moment, Rick makes [!] Ilsa board the aeroplane to Lisbon with Laszlo, telling her that she would regret it if she stayed—"Possibly non today, perchance not tomorrow but soon and for the rest of your life". Well, so!
In the story "Every bit Time Goes By" was Rick and Ilse'due south song–you lot know, "their" song. It was written by the American songwriter Herman Hupfeld and was basically his just big hit, although I must mention that he was besides the author of the immortal "When Yuba Plays The Rhumba On The Tuba." The song wasn't even written originally for the famous movie but for a flopped Broadway prove titled Everybody'south Welcome that ran for 139 performances in 1931. Information technology was so re-used in a never-produced play chosen Everybody Goes to Rick'south which follows the same bones story line as the pic. In 1942 a story editor at Warner Brothers persuaded the producer Hall B. Wallis to buy the film rights to the play, only no one at the studio expected much from it. They were certainly proven wrong!
I can't resist including here the actual first poesy of the song which was omitted in the movie and is almost unknown. I think it sets up the ideas of the residue of the song very well, and am sorry that Albert Einstein missed out on being associated so strongly with romance.
This twenty-four hours and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things similar fourth dimension
Yet we abound a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must become down to earth
At times relax, relieve the tension
No affair what the progress
Or what may even so be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot exist removed.
Hither'south the clip from the moving-picture show which includes the song but also the context effectually it:
And, because I just can't resist, hither's Hupfeld's other hit:
Hither are the lyrics as they appear in the flick:
You must think this
A osculation is just a buss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things utilize
As fourth dimension goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They nonetheless say "I beloved you"
On that you lot can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts total of passion
Jealousy and hate
Adult female needs human being, and homo must have his mate
That no one can deny.
It's however the same old story
A fight for dearest and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
