which didn't actually come from there in that form, according to an
earlier thread we had awhile back.

Re Casablanca:

besides the other lines quoted, I've always been partial to "I was
misinformed".  (Rick's response to being told that the waters he came
to Casablanca for don't exist.)  But it does need a bit of build up.

Oh, from "When Harry Met Sally....", both

"Yes, yes, yes,..."  (as used in a current shampoo commercial, and I
think not directly taken from Joyce), and of course "I'll have what
she had."

There are some nice lines from Woody Allen movies that I've reheard too.
