Misquotes are often the product of the person who first utilized the quote. "Casablanca" is one of the most-quoted films. One of the lines most closely associated with the film - "Play it again, Sam" - is a misquotation. When Ilsa first enters the Café Americain, she spots Sam and asks him to "Play it once, Sam, for old times' sake". Later, Rick says, "You played it for her, you can play it for me".

"Here's looking at you, kid" was not in the script. It was an ad-lib by Bogart.

Other memorable lines are "Round up the usual suspects", "we'll always have Paris", and "of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine".
