And the respond is: nobody. That line isn't in the movie. Nosotros get the full scoop from the website The Phrase Finder:

This is well-known every bit i of the well-nigh widely misquoted lines from films. The actual line in the motion-picture show is 'Play it, Sam'. Something approaching 'Play it again, Sam' is start said in the film by Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) in an exchange with the pianoforte actor 'Sam' (Dooley Wilson):

Ilsa: Play it one time, Sam. For old times' sake.
Sam: I don't know what yous mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play "Equally Time Goes Past."
Sam: Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Ilsa. I'm a trivial rusty on information technology.
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 after in the film his character Rick Blaine has a similar commutation, although his line is simply 'Play information technology':

Rick: You know what I desire to hear.
Sam: No, I don't.
Rick: You played it for her, yous can play it for me!
Sam: Well, I don't think I can recall…
Rick: If she tin can stand up it, I tin can! Play it!

So at that place yous take it. It'southward well-nigh similar hearing that Bugs Bunny never said, "What'southward upwards, Md?"

The plot of the movie 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 because of its location on the coastline of Africa down from Gibraltar. I won't try to summarize the whole thing hither, merely information technology has a nice setup and a fascinating moral issue. The setup is that Rick, the owner of Rick'due south Cafè, a gambling den and general meeting identify for those in the know, had been madly in love with a woman named Ilse in 1940. He'd  met her in Paris right at the kickoff of the war. Okay. She'd thought at the time that her husband, a Czech resistance fighter named Victor Laszlo, had died in a concentration camp. When the husband showed up, alive and well, she'd gone off with him without a word to Rick. At present, in the picture's present, she'southward in Casablanca with said hubby and runs into Rick there. The moral issue? Should Rick help Ilsa and her hubby to escape the Nazis by giving them false letters of transit, or should he just help the husband get away and keep Ilse with him? (I'm oversimplifying madly here.) The husband actually knows that Ilse loves Rick and is willing to exit by himself. And then what should Rick exercise? (I become a little irritated with the idea that it's upwards to the two men to make the decision.) At the terminal moment, Rick makes [!] Ilsa board the plane to Lisbon with Laszlo, telling her that she would regret it if she stayed—"Maybe non today, maybe not tomorrow but soon and for the rest of your life". Well, so!

In the story "As Time Goes By" was Rick and Ilse'due south vocal–y'all know, "their" song. It was written past the American songwriter Herman Hupfeld and was basically his only big striking, although I must mention that he was also the author of the immortal "When Yuba Plays The Rhumba On The Tuba." The song wasn't even written originally for the famous moving picture but for a flopped Broadway show titled Everybody's Welcome that ran for 139 performances in 1931. It was then re-used in a never-produced play called Everybody Goes to Rick'southward which follows the same basic story line as the moving picture. In 1942 a story editor at Warner Brothers persuaded the producer Hall B. Wallis to buy the pic rights to the play, but no one at the studio expected much from it. They were certainly proven wrong!

I can't resist including here the bodily first verse 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 pitiful that Albert Einstein missed out on being associated and so strongly with romance.

This day and age nosotros're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
Yet we abound a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
And so we must get downwards to world
At times relax, relieve the tension
No thing what the progress
Or what may even so be proved
The elementary facts of life are such
They cannot be removed.

Here'southward the prune from the moving picture which includes the song merely too the context around it:

And, because I just can't resist, here'southward Hupfeld'due south other hit:

Hither are the lyrics as they announced in the film:

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is only a sigh
The fundamental things utilize
As fourth dimension goes by.

And when ii lovers woo
They still say "I love yous"
On that you can rely
No thing what the future brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of appointment
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs human, and man must accept his mate
That no one tin deny.

It'due south however the same former story
A fight for beloved and celebrity
A case of do or die
The world will ever welcome lovers
As fourth dimension goes by.
