And the reply is: nobody. That line isn't in the pic. Nosotros become the total scoop from the website The Phrase Finder:

This is well-known as one of the most widely misquoted lines from films. The bodily line in the film is 'Play information technology, Sam'. Something budgeted 'Play it again, Sam' is offset said in the pic by Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) in an exchange with the piano actor 'Sam' (Dooley Wilson):

Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake.
Sam: I don't know what yous mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play "As Fourth dimension Goes Past."
Sam: Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Ilsa. I'm a piffling rusty on it.
Ilsa: I'll hum information technology 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 grapheme Rick Blaine has a like exchange, although his line is simply 'Play it':

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

So there you lot have it. Information technology's almost similar hearing that Bugs Bunny never said, "What's up, Doc?"

The plot of the pic 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 downward from Gibraltar. I won't try to summarize the whole thing hither, but information technology has a prissy setup and a fascinating moral issue. The setup is that Rick, the owner of Rick'south Cafè, a gambling den and general meeting place 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 start of the war. Okay. She'd idea at the time that her husband, a Czech resistance fighter named Victor Laszlo, had died in a concentration camp. When the hubby showed upwards, alive and well, she'd gone off with him without a word to Rick. At present, in the film'south present, she'south in Casablanca with said married man and runs into Rick in that location. The moral upshot? Should Rick aid Ilsa and her husband to escape the Nazis by giving them imitation letters of transit, or should he simply help the husband go away and keep Ilse with him? (I'g oversimplifying madly hither.) The hubby really knows that Ilse loves Rick and is willing to leave by himself. Then what should Rick do? (I become a little irritated with the idea that it's up to the ii men to brand the decision.) At the last moment, Rick makes [!] Ilsa board the airplane to Lisbon with Laszlo, telling her that she would regret it if she stayed—"Maybe not today, perhaps not tomorrow but presently and for the residual of your life". Well, so!

In the story "As Fourth dimension Goes Past" was Rick and Ilse'due south song–y'all know, "their" song. It was written by the American songwriter Herman Hupfeld and was basically his just large hitting, 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 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'due south which follows the same bones story line as the picture show. In 1942 a story editor at Warner Brothers persuaded the producer Hall B. Wallis to buy the motion-picture show 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 actual first verse of the vocal which was omitted in the movie and is almost unknown. I call up it sets up the ideas of the rest of the vocal very well, and am sorry that Albert Einstein missed out on being associated so strongly with romance.

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

Hither's the prune from the moving picture which includes the song but also the context effectually it:

And, because I simply can't resist, here's Hupfeld'south other hit:

Here are the lyrics equally they appear in the film:

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

And when 2 lovers woo
They still say "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the futurity brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts total of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs human being, and homo must have his mate
That no one tin deny.

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of exercise or die
The world volition always welcome lovers
Every bit time goes by.
