Did he really say "Of all the gin joints in all the world you had to walk into mine"?  Also, did he say "Play it again Sam"?

No he said: "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine"

He never said "Play it again sam", the dialogue went like this.

Rick: "Play it Sam"

Sam: "I played it once already boss!"

Rick: "Play it Sam"

Thanks Loosehead, it's been driving me batty.
The quotes are from Casablanca, of course. Play it Again Sam was a Woody Allen film (and rather good).
-- answer removed --
You're correct andy, as I recall it goes, "If you can play it for her you can play it for me. Play it!"

From imdb;Casablanca, memorable quotes section ...

Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake.
Sam: [lying] I don't know what you mean, Miss Elsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By."
Sam: [lying] Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Elsa. I'm a little rusty on it.
Ilsa: I'll hum it for you. Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum...
[Sam begins playing]
Ilsa: Sing it, Sam.
Sam: [singing] You must remember this / A kiss is still 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-...
Rick: [rushing up] Sam, I thought I told you never to play-...

...and later ...

Rick: You know what I want to hear.
Sam: [lying] No, I don't.
Rick: You played it for her, you can play it for me!
Sam: [lying] Well, I don't think I can remember...
Rick: If she can stand it, I can! Play it!

"Play it again, Sam" is up there with another famous mis-quote, "Beam me up, Scotty".

....and 'you dirty rat!' by James Cagney. Which, of course, he never said.
