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

This is well-known as one of the 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 film by Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) in an exchange with the piano player 'Sam' (Dooley Wilson):

Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For quondam times' sake.
Sam: I don't know what y'all mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play "Equally Time Goes By."
Sam: Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Ilsa. I'm a footling 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 unremarkably 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 desire to hear.
Sam: No, I don't.
Rick: You played it for her, you tin play it for me!
Sam: Well, I don't think I can remember…
Rick: If she can stand it, I can! Play it!

So in that location you have it. It'south almost like hearing that Bugs Bunny never said, "What'southward upward, Doc?"

The plot of the movie is quite nuanced and circuitous, 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 downwards from Gibraltar. I won't try to summarize the whole affair here, merely information technology has a nice setup and a fascinating moral result. 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 thought at the time that her hubby, 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 give-and-take to Rick. Now, in the film's nowadays, she'due south in Casablanca with said married man and runs into Rick at that place. The moral result? Should Rick assist Ilsa and her husband to escape the Nazis by giving them simulated messages of transit, or should he just assistance the hubby get away and go on Ilse with him? (I'm oversimplifying madly here.) The husband actually knows that Ilse loves Rick and is willing to get out by himself. And so what should Rick do? (I get a lilliputian irritated with the idea that it's upwards to the two men to make the decision.) At the concluding moment, Rick makes [!] Ilsa lath the plane to Lisbon with Laszlo, telling her that she would regret it if she stayed—"Perhaps not today, perchance not tomorrow only presently and for the rest of your life". Well, then!

In the story "Every bit Time Goes By" was Rick and Ilse's vocal–you lot know, "their" song. It was written by the American songwriter Herman Hupfeld and was basically his just big hitting, although I must mention that he was besides the author of the immortal "When Yuba Plays The Rhumba On The Tuba." The vocal wasn't even written originally for the famous movie but for a flopped Broadway testify titled Everybody'southward Welcome that ran for 139 performances in 1931. It was then re-used in a never-produced play called Everybody Goes to Rick's which follows the aforementioned bones story line as the movie. In 1942 a story editor at Warner Brothers persuaded the producer Hall B. Wallis to buy the pic rights to the play, just no 1 at the studio expected much from it. They were certainly proven wrong!

I can't resist including hither the actual first verse of the song which was omitted in the movie and is almost unknown. I think it sets upward the ideas of the rest of the song very well, and am sad that Albert Einstein missed out on beingness associated then strongly with romance.

This twenty-four hour period and age we're living in
Gives cause for anticipation
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
All the same we grow a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must become downward to earth
At times relax, relieve the tension
No matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The elementary facts of life are such
They cannot be removed.

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

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

Here are the lyrics as they appear in the film:

You lot must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things use
Equally time goes past.

And when ii lovers woo
They even so say "I love you"
On that y'all tin rely
No matter what the futurity brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of appointment
Hearts total of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs human being, and man must have his mate
That no ane tin can deny.

It's however the same erstwhile story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will ever welcome lovers
As time goes by.
