There is no way this winter is ever going to end as long as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don’t see any other way out. He’s got to be stopped.
- It’s coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?
- Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today with that, you -know, that, uh, that blizzard thing.
- That blizzard - thing. That blizzard - thing. Oh, well, here’s the report! The National Weather Service is calling for a “big blizzard thing!”
- Yeees, they are. But you know, there’s another reason why today is especially exciting.
- Especially cold!
- Especially cold, okay, but the big question on everybody’s lips…
- On their chapped lips…
- On their chapped lips, right: do ya think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow?
- Punxsutawney Phil!
- That’s right, woodchuck-chuckers - it’s GROUNDHOG DAY!
Nice going, boys. You’re playing yesterday’s tape.
The AFI Silver Theater in Silver Spring, Maryland is showing it at 8:45.
I got you babe
When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn’t imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.
I said I’m A god, not THE god. At least I don’t think so.
“What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?”
“That about sums it up for me.”
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.
That was a pretty good day. Why couldn’t I get that day over, and over, and over…
What is sex with a sea otter like?
I got stuck on the IRS audits you day.
Could been worse I suppose. The day Bubba man raped me because of the defective breathalizer would have have really sucked.
*Rita: *Believe it or not, I studied 19th-century French poetry.
*Phil: *(laughs) What a waste of time! …I mean, for someone else that would be an incredible waste of time. It’s so bold of you to choose that. It’s incredible; you must have been a very very strong person.
Did you call my friends and ask what I like and what I don’t like?
Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties 'cause it’s cooooold out there today.
Told ya: Call me Bronco.
I love that exchange, so wonderfully funny and sad at the same time. Rick Overton was perfect in that role.
Hmm. My DVD version is quite a muddy dirty print. I should upgrade to BluRay.
Hey, why don’t you reanimate MY zombie Groundhog Day thread, to keep it in the running for Most Reanimations of a Zombie Thread Award?
I’m pretty sure it’s mucking with the space-time continuum to have more than on Groundhog Day thread, so I merged two.
