Trivia. (Because I lost a bet once--that I was very setup for :-)) The phrase "Play it again, Sam" doesn't actually appear in Casablanca. ("Play it Sam" does.) I assume the phrase was popularized by a 1970s Woody Allen film which wasn't really one of his better works but is somewhat memorable for having a running gag that is one of those things that is totally alien in a world with cellphones.
