As the (self-proclaimed) resident Casablanca buff, I feel compelled to point out that this is not a true movie quote. Though wildly popular, it does not occur in the film.

Yes, it does:

*Ilsa <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000006/&gt;\*: Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake.
*Sam <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0933330/&gt;\*: [/lying/] I don't know what you mean, Miss Elsa.
*Ilsa <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000006/&gt;\*: Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By."
*Sam <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0933330/&gt;\*: [/lying/] Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Elsa. I'm a little rusty on it.
*Ilsa <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000006/&gt;\*: I'll hum it for you. Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum...
[/Sam begins playing/]
*Ilsa <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000006/&gt;\*: Sing it, Sam.

I think the distinction is whether Sam it asked to merely "Play it",
or to "Play it again". (People often misquote the line from the movie
as "Play it again, Sam.")

In Hal's original code, Sam's gonna play it twice (i.e. once, and then
"again"). Now, if you were to change the initial value of "flag" to
"false" in Hal's program, Sam will only play it once.

P.S. Sometimes I think I'm becoming a more hip and well-rounded
individual and then I post messages like this that remind me of just
how much of a nerd I really am.

I don't think so, but this instance definitively has some special
properties.

Hi!
Here's my contribution to the budding area of movie prototyping in Ruby:

people.each do |p|
  p.visible = true if p.dead?
end

self.name = "bond"
self.name[0,1] = "james "

self.great(:responsibility) if self.great(:power)

Object.new.stop(self)

The movies are at the Wiki page.

Okay, back to regular programming now.

Well, at least it should be more Ruby-esque:

Ring.new rule=>:all, find=>true, bring=>:all, bind_location=>:darkness
