Play it again, Sam
Dooley Wilson from the greatest love story film of all time, Casablanca: As Time Goes By.
Bill, tgo
A misquote even more ubiquitous than "Alas poor Yorick; I knew him well".
"Rick: You know what I want to hear.
Sam: No, I don't.
Rick: You played it for her, you can play it for me!
Sam: Well, I don't think I can remember...
Rick: If she can stand it, I can! Play it!"
And yes, it
is great; one of the very few movies I own. We were once having dinner at the Almond Tree in Ocho Rios, Jamaica;
by far the most upscale place I've ever dined (and no, you
don't "eat" there, you
dine), sitting outdoors right by the ocean. I
had to tip the piano player to play "As Time Goes By".
And now, from the sublime to the ridiculous, Edison Lighthouse, "Where My Rosemary Goes".
