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

This is well-known as one of the well-nigh widely misquoted lines from films. The actual line in the film is 'Play it, Sam'. Something approaching 'Play it again, Sam' is start said in the film past Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) in an exchange with the piano histrion 'Sam' (Dooley Wilson):

Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For quondam times' sake.
Sam: I don't know what you hateful, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By."
Sam: Oh, I can't recollect it, Miss Ilsa. I'chiliad a niggling 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 later on in the film his character Rick Blaine has a similar commutation, although his line is merely 'Play it':

Rick: You know what I want to hear.
Sam: No, I don't.
Rick: Yous played it for her, y'all can play it for me!
Sam: Well, I don't recall I can remember…
Rick: If she can stand information technology, I can! Play information technology!

Then at that place you have it. It's about like hearing that Bugs Bunny never said, "What'southward upward, Doc?"

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 matter here, merely information technology 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 love with a adult female named Ilse in 1940. He'd  met her in Paris right at the start of the war. Okay. She'd idea at the time that her hubby, a Czech resistance fighter named Victor Laszlo, had died in a concentration camp. When the hubby showed up, alive and well, she'd gone off with him without a give-and-take to Rick. Now, in the film'south present, she'southward in Casablanca with said husband and runs into Rick there. The moral issue? Should Rick help Ilsa and her husband to escape the Nazis by giving them false letters of transit, or should he merely help the husband get abroad and keep Ilse with him? (I'k oversimplifying madly hither.) The hubby actually knows that Ilse loves Rick and is willing to go out past himself. So what should Rick do? (I get a little irritated with the idea that it'southward upward to the ii men to make the decision.) At the last moment, Rick makes [!] Ilsa board the aeroplane to Lisbon with Laszlo, telling her that she would regret it if she stayed—"Maybe not today, mayhap not tomorrow but soon and for the residuum of your life". Well, then!

In the story "Equally Time Goes Past" was Rick and Ilse'southward song–y'all know, "their" song. It was written past the American songwriter Herman Hupfeld and was basically his only big hit, 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 movie simply for a flopped Broadway bear witness titled Everybody's Welcome that ran for 139 performances in 1931. Information technology was then re-used in a never-produced play called Everybody Goes to Rick's which follows the same bones story line every bit the film. In 1942 a story editor at Warner Brothers persuaded the producer Hall B. Wallis to buy the film rights to the play, but no 1 at the studio expected much from it. They were certainly proven wrong!

I tin't resist including here the actual beginning verse of the song which was omitted in the flick and is almost unknown. I call up information technology sets up the ideas of the rest 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 nosotros're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
Yet we grow a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So nosotros must get down to earth
At times relax, relieve the tension
No matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The uncomplicated facts of life are such
They cannot be removed.

Here's the clip from the movie which includes the vocal but too the context around it:

And, because I merely can't resist, hither'due south Hupfeld's other hit:

Here are the lyrics every bit they announced in the film:

You must remember this
A kiss is but a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.

And when two lovers woo
They yet say "I love you"
On that y'all can rely
No thing what the future brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Adult female needs man, and man must take his mate
That no one tin can deny.

It's all the same the same sometime story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will e'er welcome lovers
Every bit time goes by.
