It’s collllllld out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?
This is a man we’re talking about, right?
Chapped lips!
I always drink to world peace.
It’s the same thing your whole life: “Clean up your room. Stand up straight. Pick up your feet. Take it like a man. Be nice to your sister. Don’t mix beer and wine, ever.” Oh yeah: “Don’t drive on the railroad tracks.”
“That’s one I happen to agree with.”
Winter, slumbering in the open air, wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring.
That’s not bad for a quadruped.
I’d like a piano lesson? I can pay you a thousand dollars.
This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather.
Which reminds me: was it the piano teacher whom he asked, out on the street on the first repeat of Groundhog Day, where everyone was going? I think it was, but I’m not sure.
“Be that hat, c’mon, be the hat!”
Yes, it was.
Missed the edit window.
We love this film and watch it every year about this time. There are a few discrepancies that stick in my mind, though. However, the strength of the film is that it’s so good these can be forgiven. They are:
-
“Can you keep a secret, Larry? I may be leaving …” A secret? His boss is sitting right behind him.
-
He swerves off the train tracks onto the road at the last minute, but wouldn’t the cops pursuing him be squashed by the train?
-
The piano teacher gushes at the bachelors’ auction that he’s her student. Would she really be so naive to think she taught him to play that well in one day?
Minor quibbles, but I think about them with every viewing.
That’s the joke.
It’s far from clear to me that Rita is Phill’s boss. She’s the “new producer”, according to the minion that helps Phil on with his coat, and that’s about what we know about the TV station hierarchy. I got the impression that they are equals at the station, where Larry is a step below both of them.
Maybe. More than one cop car boxes him at the end of the chase, and we don’t know if the cops that arrest Phil are the same cops who began the pursuit.
Agree, but it was a funny line, especially delivered to Rita, who was just stunned that anyone in town knew Phil at all, much less that they all thought he was da bomb.
-
She’s not his boss. That’s evident quite regularly through the movie. She’s a producer, but that doesn’t mean she’s his boss; there is not once in the movie she actually gives him an order.
-
The cop car behind sensibly leaves the tracks as soon as they see the train coming. :smack:
-
She wouldn’t think she taught him all that. She’s simply preening about the fact she has some claim to him.
See here for a previous thread on this topic.
Well played. 
Good evening. Tonight on ‘It’s the Mind’, we examine the phenomenon of déjà vu. That strange feeling we sometimes get that we’ve lived through something before, that what is happening now has already happened.
What the…? That’s the same thread. What the heck is going on here?
