As Time Goes By

Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By.'

Sam: I never expected to see you again...A lot of water under the bridge.

Ilsa: Play some of the old songs, Sam... Where is Rick?

Sam: I don't know. I ain't seen him all night.

Ilsa: When will he be back?

Sam: Not tonight no more. He ain't comin'...He went home.

Ilsa: Does he always leave so early?

Sam: Oh, he never..., well, he's got a girl up at the Blue Parrot. He goes up there all the time.

Ilsa: You used to be a much better liar, Sam.

Sam: Leave him alone, Miss Ilsa. You're bad luck to him.

Ilsa: Play it once, Sam, for old times' sake.

Sam: I don't know what you mean, Miss Ilsa.

Ilsa: [whispered] Play it, Sam. Play As Time Goes By.

Sam: Why, I can't remember it, Miss Ilsa. I'm a little rusty on it.

Ilsa: I'll hum it for you. [Ilsa hums two bars. Sam starts to play] Sing it, Sam.

Sam: [singing] You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say, 'I love you'
On that you can rely ,
No matter what the future brings
As Time Goes By.

Rick: [rushing in] Sam, I thought I told you never to play... [stares at Ilsa]

Laszlo: This is a very interesting cafe. I congratulate you.

Rick: And I congratulate you.

Laszlo: What for?

Rick: Your work.

Laszlo: Thank you. I try.
Rick: We all try. You succeed.

Renault: I can't get over you two. She was asking about you earlier, Rick, in a way that made me extremely jealous.
Ilsa: [to Rick] I wasn't sure you were the same. Let's see, the last time we met was -
Rick: La Belle Aurore.
Ilsa: How nice. You remembered. But of course, that was the day the Germans marched into Paris.
Rick: Not an easy day to forget.
Ilsa: No.
Rick: I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray. You wore blue.
Ilsa: Yes. I put that dress away. When the Germans march out, I'll wear it again.
Renault: Ricky, you're becoming quite human. I suppose we have to thank you for that, Mademoiselle.
