"Play it again, Sam"

[Miller, Jerry]

Barry: I'm not sure what the problem is with the quotes site, but you might
want to try "Sam, play it." Bogart never actually says "Play it again, Sam"
in Casablanca. Allen (and many others) "cleaned" it up to suit their own
purposes.

             I went to www.quotationdictionary.com and typed in: Play it
again, Sam.  I got thousands of meaningless hits.  Then I typed in "Play it
again, Sam," and got nothing!
            What kind of a quotations site is this, anyway?
            The Woody Allen play PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM is from 1969, and his
movie is from 1972.
            From the VILLAGE VOICE, Bulletin Board, 27 January 1966 (It
might be in 1965--ed.), pg. 2, col. 2:
