Phil:
"Don't mess with me, Porkchop! What day is this?!"
Inn Manager:
"It's February 2nd, Groundhog Day"
Phil:
"Yeah, that's right. I thought it was yesterday..."
Phil:
"They do the same old shtick every year. Guy comes out with a big stick and raps on the door. They pull the little rat out. They talk to him. The rat talks back. And then they tell us what’s going to happen."
Radio DJ #1:
"OK, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today!"
Radio DJ #2:
"It's cold out there every day! What is this, Miami Beach?!"
Radio DJ #1:
"Not hardly!"
Ned:
" Ned! Ryerson! "Needlenose Ned"? "Ned the Head"? C’mon, buddy. Case Western High. Ned Ryerson: I did the whistling-belly-button trick at the high school talent show? Bing! Ned Ryerson: got the shingles real bad senior year, almost didn’t graduate? Bing, again. Ned Ryerson: I dated your sister Mary Pat a couple times until you told me not to anymore? Well?"
Mrs. Lancaster:
"Will you be checking out today, Mr. Connors?"
Phil:
"Will you hold my room? I’m gonna stay another day."
Inn Manager:
"Morning! Off to see the groundhog? "
Phil:
"Yeah."
Inn Manager:
"Think it'll be an early spring?"
Phil:
"Didn't we do this yesterday?"
Inn Manager:
"Morning! Off to see the groundhog? Think it'll be an early spring?"
Phil:
"Do you know what today is?"
Rita:
"No, what?"
Phil:
"Today is tomorrow!"
Ned:
"Phil? Phil Connors, I thought that was you!"
Phil:
"Excuse me. Where's everybody going?"
Woman:
"To Gobbler's Knob. It's Groundhog Day!"
Phil:
"It's still just once a year, isn't it?"
Phil:
"This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. (raises his voice) 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. (turns to the crowd) You’re hypocrites, all of you!"
Phil:
"Hey, what's going on?"
Larry:
"Maybe it's that giant blizzard we're not supposed to get."
Phil:
"This is one time when television fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather."
Mrs. Lancaster:
"Will you be checking out today, Mr. Connors?"
Phil:
"Chance of departure, 100%."
Phil:
"Someday somebody's gonna see me interviewing a groundhog and think I don't have a future."
Phil:
"For your information, Hairdo... there is a major network interested in me."
Larry:
"That would be the Home Shopping Network!"
Phil:
"Nice going boys, you're playing yesterday's tape."
Cop:
"Now you can either go back to Punxsutawney, or you can go ahead and freeze to death. It's your choice. So what's it gonna be?"
Phil:
"I'm thinking..."
Phil:
"Don't you have some kind of a line that you keep open for emergencies, or for celebrities? I'm both! I’m a celebrity in an emergency!"
Phil:
"Once again the eyes of the nation have turned here to this.. [silly voice] tiny village in Western Pennsylvania, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... [seriously] There is no way that 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 gotta be stopped, and I have to stop him."
