Phil: What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered? Ralph: That about sums it up for me. and Phil: I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. [Ralph and Gus snort] Phil: _That_ was a pretty good day. Why couldn’t I get _that_ day over, and over, and over… ---

I watched the movie again last night and wrote down the correct words (which, according to [IMDb.com](http://IMDb.com), Bill Murray improvised): Phil: Ned Ryerson - I have missed you _so much_.

This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Groundhog Day used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to eat it. You’re hypocrites, all of you! ---
