Somebody asked me today,

"Phil, if you could be anywhere
in the world, where would you
like to be?"

And I said to him,
"Probably right here,

Elko, Nevada."
Our nation's high at 79 today.

Out in California, they're gonna have
some warm weather tomorrow,

gang wars and some very
overpriced real estate.

Up in the Pacific Northwest,
as you can see, they're gonna
have some very, very tall trees.

Clear across the Rockies
and the Great Plains, mostly.

But look out,
here comes trouble.

Oh, boy!

Front coming our way!
Look out!

What's that gonna mean to us
in the Three Rivers area?
One of these big blue things!

This cold, frigid arctic air,
this big mass coming out
of the north.

It's gonna meet up with all this
moisture coming up out of the Gulf.

Gonna mix together at high
altitudes and cause some snow.

Going out on a limb now:

Not gonna hit us here in Pittsburgh.
Gonna push off and hit Altoona.

Phew, close call, folks.

Let's take a look
at the five-day.

As you can see, nothing
to be too scared about.

Bundle up warm, of course,
but I think you can leave
your galoshes at home.

I'm not gonna be here for the 10:00.
Tomorrow is Groundhog Day,
and I'm going out to Punxsutawney

for our country's oldest
groundhog festival.

So as you know, according to
the legend, tomorrow, February 2nd,

if the groundhog wakes
and sees his shadow,

we've got six more weeks
of winter to look forward to.
So keep your fingers crossed.

Sounds like a lot of fun.
You must really enjoy it.

This is your third year
in a row, isn't it, Phil?

Four, Nan. Four.

Thanks, Phil.

Up next, entertainment editor
Diane Kingman looks at sex
and violence in the movies.

Stay with us.

And we're clear.

Have fun in
Punxsutawney, Phil.

For your information,
Hairdo, there is a major
network interested in me.

Yeah, that would be the
Home Shopping Network.

Thanks, Larry.
Go wait in the van, will you?

That was nice, Phil.
"Big trees"!

Stop, Kenny. Look, can you
handle the 10 or not?

Yeah, yeah.

Listen, if for any reason
you don't want to rush back,
I can do the 5 tomorrow.

Oh, come on. I wanna
stay an extra second in
Punxsutawney? Please!

Well, Rita thinks it would be
a great idea to stay around
for some of the other events.

You'll get some
incredible footage.

The people and the fun.
The excitement!

You haven't worked with her yet,
have you? She's really nice.

I think she's gonna be
a really good producer.

You guys are
gonna have fun.

Mm-mm! She's fun.
But not my kind of fun.
I will be here for the 5.

Rita.

Can you keep a secret, Larry?

I'm probably leaving PBH.

So this will be the last time

we do the Groundhog together.

I don't understand what's wrong
with the Groundhog Festival.

When I worked in San Diego,

I covered the swallows returning
to Capistrano six years in a row.

Someday, somebody's gonna
see me interviewing a groundhog,
think I don't have a future.

I think it's a nice story.

He comes out.
He looks around.

He wrinkles up
his little nose.

He sees his shadow,
he doesn't see his shadow.
It's nice. People like it.

You are new, aren't you?

You know, people like
blood sausage too.
People are morons.

Nice attitude.

I want you to look in the mirror
and see what you look like when
you do that little groundhog thing.

Okay? For me? Once?

He comes out, and there he
looks at his little shadow.

Would you like some
blood sausage? I have some--

I like blood sausage.

Rita, I can't stay here.

Prima donna.

What's the matter, Phil?
I hate this place.

I stayed here two years ago.
I was miserable. It's a fleabag.

I'm not staying here.
You're not staying here.

I'm not?
No.

Larry's just dropping me off.
I booked you in a very nice
bed-and-breakfast on Cherry Street.

Great.

You know, I think this
is one of the traits of
a really good producer.

Keep the talent happy.

Anything I can do.

Would you help me
with my pelvic tilt?

Within reason.
Would you like to come to
dinner with Larry and me?

No, thank you.
I've seen Larry eat.

You get your sleep.
I'll see you in the morning.

Don't be late.

Did he actually call himself
"the talent"?

Okay, campers, rise and shine!

And don't forget your booties,
because it's cold out there!

- It's cold 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 blizzard thing.

Oh, that blizzard thing.
That blizzard thing.
Oh, well, here's the report.

The National Weather Service
is calling for a big blizzard thing.

Yes, 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--

- Their chapped lips.
- On their chapped lips, right.

Do you think Phil's gonna
come out and see his shadow?

Punxsutawney Phil!

That's right, woodchuck chuckers!

It's Groundhog Day!

Get up and check
that hog out there! Hyah!

Sooey! Sooey! Come here, girl!

Morning!
Morning.

You off to see the groundhog?
Yes, I am.

You think it's gonna be
an early spring?

I'm predicting March 21 st.

Good guess!

You know, I think that
actually is the first day of spring.

Did you sleep well, Mr. Connors?
I slept alone, Mrs. Lancaster.

Would you like some coffee?

I don't suppose there's any
possibility of getting an espresso
or cappuccino this morning, is there?

Oh, I really don't know, um...

How to spell espresso or
cappuccino. This looks fine.

I hope you enjoy
the festivities.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure I'm going to.
There's talk of a blizzard.

Well, we may catch a break
and that blizzard's gonna
blow right by us.

All of this moisture
coming up out of the south

by midday is probably gonna
push on to the east of us.

And at high altitudes
it's gonna crystallize and
give us what we call snow.

Probably be some
accumulation.

But here in Punxsutawney,
our high's gonna get up to
about 30 today, teens tonight.

Chance of precipitation,
about 20 percent today,
20 percent tomorrow.

Did you want to talk about
the weather or were you
just making chitchat?

Chitchat.
Okay. See you later.

Bye.

Oh, um, will you be
checking out today,
Mr. Connors?

Chance of departure today,
100 percent.

Phil? Hey, Phil?

Phil? Phil Connors!
Phil Connors, I thought
that was you!

Hi, how you doing?
Thanks for watching.

Hey, hey.

Now, don't you tell me you
don't remember me, because
I sure as heckfire remember you.

Not a chance.

Ned!

Ryerson!

Needlenose Ned.
Ned the Head.

Come on, buddy.
Case Western High!

Ned Ryerson, I did the
whistling-bellybutton 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 till you
told me not to anymore.

Well?

Ned Ryerson?
Bing!

Bing.

So did you turn pro with that
bellybutton thing, Ned, or what?

No, Phil.
I sell insurance.

What a shock.
Do you have life insurance?

Because if you do, you could
always use a little more.

Am I right or am I right or am
I right? Right? Right? Right?

Ned, I would love to stand here
and talk with you.

But I'm not going to.
See you.

Hey, that's all right!
I'll walk with you.

You know, whenever
I see an opportunity now,
I charge it like a bull.

Ned the Bull,
that's me now.

You know, I got friends
of mine who live and die
by the actuarial tables.

And I say, hey, it's all
one big crapshoot anyhoo.

Tell me, have you ever heard
of single-premium life?

Because I think that really
could be the ticket for you.

Oh, God!

It is so good to see you!
What are you doing for dinner?

Something else.

It's been great seeing you,
Needlehead. Take care.

Whoa-ho-ho-ho!

Watch out for that
first step. It's a doozy!

Hey, Phil! Phil, over here!

Where have you been?

It was horrible.

A giant leech got me.

You're missing all the fun.
These people are great!

Some of them have
been partying all night long.

They sing songs till they get
too cold, and then they go sit
by the fire and they get warm.

And then they come back
and they sing some more.

Yeah. They're hicks, Rita.

So, did you sleep okay
without me?

You tossed and turned,
didn't you?

You're incredible.

Who told you?

Okay. It's groundhog time.

Okay. On me in three,

two, one.

Once a year, the eyes of the nation
turn to this tiny hamlet in Western
Pennsylvania

to watch a master at work.

The master?
Punxsutawney Phil,

the world's most famous
weatherman. The groundhog.

Who, as legend has it,
can predict the coming
of an early spring.

So I guess the question we have
to ask ourselves today is,

"Does Phil feel lucky?"

It's the same old shtick every year.
The 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 gonna happen.

Aw, isn't he cute?

Hey, do you like the guys
with the prominent upper teeth?

No.

This February 2nd,
at 7:20 and 30 seconds,

Punxsutawney Phil,
the seer of seers,

prognosticator
of prognosticators,

emerged reluctantly
but alertly

in Punxsutawney, PA,

and stated in groundhog-ese,

"I definitely see a shadow."

Sorry, folks.
Six more weeks of winter.

On me in three, two, one.

This is one time where
television really fails

to capture the true excitement
of a large squirrel predicting
the weather.

I, for one, am very grateful
to have been here.

From Punxsutawney,
this is Phil Connors. So long.

Okay, want to try it again
without the sarcasm?

We got it. I'm out of here.

Prima donnas.

Oh, boy.
Take a look at this.

What is going on?

I don't know, Phil. Perhaps
it's that giant blizzard we're
not supposed to get.

This is impossible.

Hey, hey, hey.
No, no, no.

Nobody honks this horn
but me, okay, pal?

No, no!

You gotta take this thing
out of here.

Hey, commander,
what's going on?

There's nothing going on.
We're closing the road.

Big blizzard moving in.
What blizzard? It's a couple of flakes.

Don't you listen to the weather?
We got a major storm here.

I make the weather.

All of this moisture coming up
out of the Gulf is gonna push off
to the east and hit Altoona.

Pal, you got that moisture
on your head.

Now, you can go back
to Punxsutawney,

or you can go ahead
and freeze to death.
It's your choice.

So, what's it gonna be?

I'm thinking.

Come on, all the long-distance
lines are down?

What about the satellite?

Is it snowing in space?

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.

Can you patch me through
on that line, please?

Could I have one more of these
with some booze in it, please?

Ooh, I like it here.
Phil.

Going to the
groundhog dinner?

No, I had groundhog
for lunch.

Wasn't bad.
Tastes like chicken.

You two run along.

Wow, Larry.
Looking foxy tonight, man.

Hey, uh, is your troop gonna be
selling cookies again this year?

Oh, ha-ha-ha.
That's so funny, Phil.

So, what are you gonna do?

Uh, I think I'm gonna
go back to my room

and take a hot shower
and maybe read a little
Hustler or something.

Suit yourself.

Yo, mom.
Isn't there any hot water?

Oh, no, there wouldn't be today.

Of course not. Silly me.

Sweet dreams.

Okay, campers, rise and shine!

And don't forget your booties,
because it's cold out there!

- It's cold out there every day!
- What is this, Miami Beach?

Not hardly!
Nice going, boys.

You're playing yesterday's tape.

You know, that blizzard thing.

Oh, that blizzard thing.
That blizzard thing.
Oh, well, here's the report.

The National Weather Service
is calling for a big blizzard thing.

Yes, 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--

Their chapped lips.
Chapped lips.

Their chapped lips, right.

Do you think Phil's gonna
come out and see his shadow?

Punxsutawney Phil!

That's right, woodchuck chuckers!

It's Groundhog Day!

Get up and check
that hog out there! Hyah!

Sooey! Sooey! Come here, girl!

What the hell?

Morning! Off to see
the groundhog?

Yeah.
Think it'll be an early spring?

Didn't we do this
yesterday?

I don't know what you mean.

Ah!
Don't mess with me, Pork Chop!

What day is this?
It's February 2nd.

Groundhog Day.

Yeah.

I'm sorry. You know,
I thought it was yesterday.

Did you sleep well, Mr. Connors?

Did I sleep well?

Would you like some coffee?

Yes, please.
I think I'll have a double.

I hope you enjoy
the festivities.

There's talk of a blizzard.

Do you ever have déjà vu,
Mrs. Lancaster?

I don't think so,
but I could check
with the kitchen.

No, that's okay. Thank you.

Will you be checking out
today, Mr. Connors?

I'd say the chance
of departure is 80 percent.

Seventy-five, 80.

Excuse me!

Excuse me.
Where's everybody going?

To Gobbler's Knob.

It's Groundhog Day.

It's still just once a year, isn't it?

Hey! Phil?

Phil? Hey!

Phil Connors!
I thought that was you!

My, oh, my,
Phil Connors!

Now, don't you say you don't
remember me, because I sure
as heckfire remember you.

Well?
Ned Ryerson?

Bing! Oh, first shot
right out of the box!

So how's it going, old buddy?

Well, to tell you the truth,
Neddie, I'm not feeling real well.
Would you excuse me?

You know, it's funny you should
mention your health. Because you
will never guess what I do now.

Do you sell insurance?

Ho-ho, bing again!
You are sharp as a tack today!

Do you have
life insurance, Phil?

Because if you do, you could
always use a little more.

Right! I mean,
who couldn't?

But you wanna know something?

I gots a feeling--

--you ain't got any.

Am I right or am I right
or am I right? Am I right?

I gotta go.
Phil--

Whoa-ho-ho-ho!

Watch out for that
first step. It's a doozy!

Phil! Phil, over here!

Where have you been?
Rita. Do me a favor.

I need someone to give me a
good, hard slap in the face.

How's that?
Good.

If you need any help
with the other cheek,
let me know, I'm right here.

Something's going on.
I don't know what to do.

Are you drunk or something?
Drunk's more fun.

Can I be serious with you
for a minute?

I don't know, can you?

Yes, I'm being serious!

I'm having a problem.
I may be having a problem.

Rita, Rita.
It's groundhog time.

See? I knew you
were gonna say that.

I really feel weird.

Let's just do this, Phil.
Then we'll talk.

All right, on me in three,

two, one.

Well, it's Groundhog Day, again,

and that must mean that we're
up here at Gobbler's Knob

waiting for the forecast
from the world's most famous
groundhog weatherman,

Punxsutawney Phil,

who's just about to tell us how
much more winter we can expect.

Phil! Phil! Phil!

This is a riot!

Aw, isn't he cute?

This February 2nd,
at 7:20 and 30 seconds,

Punxsutawney Phil,
the seer of seers,

prognosticator
of prognosticators,

emerged reluctantly
Phil!

but alertly in Punxsu--

Ha! Whoo! Oh, my gosh!

Yeah, Sport,
I know there's a blizzard.

When are the long-distance
lines gonna be repaired?

Well, what if there is no tomorrow?
There wasn't one today.

Hello?

Hello?

Morning!

Off to see the groundhog?

Oh, did you
sleep well, Mr.--?

Ah!

Hey! Phil?

Phil Connors! I thought--
Whoa! Hey, Phil!

Don't say you don't
remember me, because I sure
as heckfire remember you!

It's me, Ned! Ryerson!

Needlenose Ned! Ned the Head!
Come on, buddy, Case Western--

Hey, look-- Hey!

Phil! Phil, over here!

Where have you been?
Can I talk to you

about a matter that is
not work-related?

You never talk about work.
We really have to talk. Come on.

Hey!
It's a creative meeting. Forget it.

Wait a second,
we've got work to do.

No, I don't.
I've already done it twice.

Now, when you get finished,
come and meet me in the diner.

Phil!

What's that all about?
I don't know.

Prima donnas.

More coffee, hon?

No, thanks. Just the check, please.
These sticky buns are just heaven.

Aren't they?

Oh, jeez, just put that
anywhere, pal! Yeah!

Good save!

Okay, now tell me why
you're too sick to work,
and it better be good.

Rita, I'm reliving
the same day over and over.

Groundhog Day. Today.

Okay. I'm waiting
for the punch line.

No. Really.
This is the third time.

It's like yesterday
never happened.

I am racking my brain, but I can't
even begin to imagine why you'd
make up something like this.

I'm not making it up.
I am asking you for help!

Okay, what do you want me to do?

I don't know! You're a producer.
Come up with something.

You want my advice?
I think you should get
your head examined

if you expect me to believe
a stupid story like that, Phil!

Phil? Like the groundhog Phil?

Yeah. Like the groundhog Phil.

Ha-ha-ha! Look out
for your shadow there, pal!

Morons, your bus is leaving.

You guys ready? We'd better
get going if we're gonna stay
ahead of the weather.

Let's talk about it
back in Pittsburgh.

I'm not going
back to Pittsburgh.

- Why not?
- Because of the blizzard!

I thought you said that
was gonna hit Altoona.

Yeah, I know
that's what I said.

Phil, I think
you need help.

That's what I've been
saying, Rita. I need help.

Well, no spots.

No clots, no tumors.

No lesions.

No aneurysms.

At least none that
I can see, Mr. Connors.

Of course, if you want a CAT scan
or an MRI, you're gonna have to go
into Pittsburgh.

I can't go
into Pittsburgh.

Why can't you go into Pittsburgh?
I told you, there's a blizzard.

Oh, right. The blizzard.

You know what you
may need, Mr. Connors?

A biopsy.

A psychiatrist.

That's an unusual problem,
Mr. Connors.

Most of my work is with couples,
families. I have an alcoholic now.

Well, you went to college, right?

I mean, it wasn't veterinary
psychology, was it?

Didn't you take some kind of course
that covered this stuff?

Yeah. Sort of, I guess.

Abnormal psychology.

So...

what do I do?

I think we should meet again.

How's tomorrow for you?

Is that not good?

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?

You know, some guys
would look at this glass
and they would say,

"That glass is half empty."

Other guys would say,
"That glass is half full."

I peg you as a "glass is half empty"
kind of guy. Am I right?

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.

Good luck.

I'll drop you off.

This thing sticks a little bit.

You gotta jiggle it--

Come on up here, pal.

Come on, give me your keys, pal.
Give me the keys.

Friends don't let friends drive, right?
Come on, stand up here.

Take a deep breath.
You feel okay? Really?

Okay, you're all right.

Uh-oh. Whoa.

You wanna throw up here
or you wanna throw up in the car?

I think, both.

Come on.

I really don't think
I should be driving.

No, no. I don't either.

Watch your head.

Watch your knees.
Don't break anything.

All right. Hey, let's
not forget seat belts.

Hey, who else could go for
some flapjacks right now?

Let me ask you guys a question.

Shoot.

What if there were no tomorrow?

No tomorrow? That would mean
there would be no consequences,
there would be no hangovers.

We could do whatever
we wanted!

That's true.

We could do whatever we want.

Hey, Phil, if we wanted
to hit mailboxes, we can
let Ralph drive!

Ha, yeah.

Oh, hey. Hey, Phil.

I think they
want you to stop.

Hang on!

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!"

Well, Phil, that's one
I happen to agree with.

I don't know, Gus.

Sometimes I think
you just have to

take the big chances.

- This is the police!
- Pull over immediately!

Hey! We're talking in here!

Uh, Phil.
Yeah, yeah. yeah.

I'm betting he's
gonna swerve first.

Phil.

Phil!
Aah!

I'm not gonna live by
their rules anymore!

I noticed that.

You make choices
and you live with them.

Ho-ho!

Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Ow, my knee!

Let me handle this.

Yeah, three cheeseburgers,
two large fries,

two chocolate shakes
and one large Coke.

And some flapjacks!

Too early for flapjacks?

Yes!

Oh! Rise and shine, campers!

Don't forget your booties,
because it's cold out there today!

It's cold out there every day.
What is this, Miami Beach?

Not hardly!

Slept like a baby, thank you.
Oh--

Would you--?
I'd love some of your coffee, please.

I hope--
Flurries moving in a little bit later,

but the blizzard's gonna hit
outside of town.

Uh, Mrs. Lancaster?

Was anybody looking for me
here this morning?

Perhaps a state official?
Maybe a blue hat, gun, nightstick?

Oh, no, no one like that!
Will there be?

Apparently not.

Will you hold
my room for me, please?
I'm gonna stay an extra day.

Catch you tomorrow, pops.

Hey! Phil? Phil?

Hey! Phil Connors!
Ned?

I like to see a man of
advancing years throwing
caution to the wind.

It's inspiring, in a way.

My years are not advancing
as fast as you might think.

More coffee, hon?

Yeah, just keep it coming, please.

Sure thing.

- Oh, jeez, real nice!
- Just put that anywhere, pal!

Good save!

Don't you worry about cholesterol,
lung cancer, love handles?

I don't worry about
anything anymore.

What makes you so special?
Everybody worries about something.

That's exactly what
makes me so special.

I don't even
have to floss.

Ugh.

What?

The wretch, concentered all in self

Living, shall forfeit fair renown

And doubly dying, shall go down

To the vile dust
From whence he sprung

Unwept, unhonored and unsung

Sir Walter Scott.

What, you don't like poetry?

I love poetry!

I just thought that was
Willard Scott. I was confused.

You think I'm acting like this
because I'm egocentric?

I know you're egocentric.
It's your defining characteristic.

Uh, are you guys ready?
We'd better get going if we're
gonna stay ahead of the weather.

Thanks, Larry.

Well, would you like
a doggy bag?

I'm gonna stay here
and finish.

I thought you hated
this town.

It's beginning to grow on me.

Larry, quit staring.

These are excellent.
Bon appétit.

Hey, did you see the
groundhog this morning?

Uh-huh. I never miss it.

What's your name?

Nancy Taylor. And you are?

What high school did you go to?
What?

High school.

Lincoln, in Pittsburgh.
Who are you?

Who was your
12th-grade English teacher?

Are you kidding?

No, no, no, in 12th grade,
your English teacher was--

Mrs. Walsh.
Mrs. Walsh, yeah.

Nancy. Lincoln. Walsh.

Okay. Thanks very much.

Hey. Hey.

Nancy?

Nancy Taylor!

Lincoln High School!

I sat next to you in
Mrs. Walsh's English class!

Oh, I'm sorry.
Phil Connors!

Wow! That's amazing!
You don't remember me, do you?

Um...

I even asked you to the prom.

Phil Connors?

I was short and I've sprouted.

Yeah.

Gosh! How are you?

Great.

You look terrific!

You look very,
very terrific!

Listen, I gotta go
do this report.

Are you a reporter?

I'm a weatherman with
Channel 9, Pittsburgh.

Wow. Gosh, I should
have known! That's great!

But maybe later we could...

Yeah, whatever!

Stay right here.

Promise me?
Yes.

Okay, I'll be right back.
Okay.

Wish me luck!
Good luck!

Oh, Phil.

Oh, Rita.

Who's Rita?

How should I know?

What is this, some kind
of one-night stand?

On the contrary, Nancy,

I love you.
I've always loved you.

This is gonna
seem sudden but...

Nancy, will you be my wife?

Oh, Phil...

Rita.

Nancy.
Whatever.

A gust of wind.

A dog barks.

Cue the truck.

Exit Herman.

Walk on to the bank.

Exit Felix, and stand there with
a not-so-bright look on your face.

All right, Doris. Come on.

Hey, fix your bra, honey.
That's better.

Felix!

How you doing, Doris?

Can I have a roll of quarters?

Ten, nine, eight,

car, six, five,

quarters,

three,

two...

Felix?

Did I bring out two bags or one?
I don't know.

I thought we were going
to a costume party.

It's like I said, I love this film.

I've seen it over 100 times.

Phil!

Told you, call me "Bronco."

Sorry, Bronco.

Hi, Nancy.

My own fiancée

doesn't remember me.

Hi.
Hi.

That'll be one adult and, uh...

Two adults.
Two adults, I guess.

--groundhog who,
as legend has it, can predict
the coming of an early spring.

So I guess the question we have
to ask ourselves today is,

"Does Phil feel lucky?"

Rita, if you only
had one day to live,

what would you
do with it?

I don't know, Phil.
What are you dying of?

No, I mean, the whole world
is about to explode.

What do you do?

I just want to know
where to put the camera.

What are you looking for, Phil?
A date for the weekend?

No, I'm just
interested in you.

You know, what do you want?
What do you like?

What do you think about?

What kind of men
are you interested in?

What do you do for fun?

Is this for real, Phil,
or are you just trying to
make me look like a fool?

I'm just trying to talk
like normal people talk.
Isn't this how they talk?

Close.
Okay, so talk to me.

Let me buy you a cup of coffee.

And a doughnut.

All right.

So, what do you want
out of life, anyway?

I guess I want what
everybody wants.

You know, career,
love, marriage, children.

Are you seeing anyone?

I think this is getting too personal.
I don't think I'm ready to share this
with you.

How about you?
What do you want?

What I really want
is someone like you.

Oh, please.

Well, why not?
What are you looking for?

Who's your perfect guy?

Well, first of all, he's too
humble to know he's perfect.

That's me.

He's intelligent,
supportive, funny...

Intelligent, supportive, funny.

Me, me, me.

He's romantic and courageous.

Me also.

He's got a good body
but he doesn't have to look
in the mirror every two minutes.

I have a great body, and sometimes
I go months without looking.

He's kind, sensitive and gentle.

He's not afraid to cry
in front of me.

This is a man we're
talking about, right?

He likes animals, children,
and he'll change poopy diapers.

Does he have to use
the word "poopy"?

Oh, and he plays an instrument,
and he loves his mother.

I am really close on this one.

Really, really close.

It's Phil Connors!

Hello.

Thanks for watching.

So, what are the chances
of getting out today?

Van still won't start.
Larry's working on it.

Wouldn't you know it?

Can I buy you a drink?

Okay.
Jim Beam, ice, water.

For you, miss?

Sweet vermouth on the rocks
with a twist, please.

What are the chances
of getting out of town today?

Van still won't start.
Larry's working on it.

Wouldn't you know it?

Can I buy you a drink?

Okay.

Sweet vermouth, rocks,
with a twist, please.

For you, miss?
The same.

That's my favorite drink.

Mine too.

It always makes me
think of Rome.

The way the sun hits
the buildings in the afternoon.

Ah.

Well, what should we drink to?

To the groundhog!

I always drink
to world peace.

Can I buy you a drink?

Okay.

Sweet vermouth, rocks,
with a twist, please.

For you, miss?

The same.

That's my favorite drink.

Mine too.

It always makes me
think of Rome.

The way the sun hits
the buildings in the afternoon.

Well, what should we drink to?

I like to say a prayer
and drink to world peace.

To world peace.
World peace.

Amen.

Mmm, this is wonderful.
See? Didn't I tell you?

How do you know so much
about Punxsutawney?

I spend a lot of time here.

Small-town people are more real,
more down-to-earth.

That's how I feel.
Really?

Would you like to try
some white chocolate?

Yuck, don't make me sick.

No white chocolate.

There is something
so familiar about this.

Hm?
Do you ever have déjà vu?

Didn't you just
ask me that?

I think people place too much
emphasis on their careers.

I wish we could all live
in the mountains at high altitude.

That's where I see myself
in five years. How about you?

Oh, I agree. I just like
to go with the flow.

See where it leads me.

Well, it's led you here.

Mm-hm.

Of course, it's about
a million miles from where
I started out in college.

You weren't in broadcasting
or journalism?

Mm-hm.

Believe it or not, I studied
19th-century French poetry.

What a waste of time!

I mean, for someone else
that would be an incredible
waste of time.

So bold of you
to choose that.

It's incredible. You must be
a very, very strong person.

I think people place too much
emphasis on their careers.

Gosh, I wish we could
all live in the mountains.
At high altitudes.

That's where I see myself
in five years. How about you?

Oh, I agree. I just like
to go with the flow,

Yeah?
see what happens.

Well, it's gotten you here.
Uh-huh.

Of course, it's a million miles
from where I started out in college.

Oh, yeah, you weren't in
broadcasting or journalism
or anything like that?

Uh-uh.
Hm.

Believe it or not, I studied
19th-century French poetry.

You speak French.

Oui.

I haven't done this
since I was a kid.

Me neither. It's fun!

It's good, clean fun.

I hope that one day I can do
this with my own children.

Where'd you get that?

Well, I went over
to the snowman shop.

Hey, an assassin!

I'll protect you,
Your Majesty!

I shall die for you.
You shall not take her!

Find cover, my lady!

I'm getting some good ones.
Ooh, hey, there's a boy.

That's a boy! Good try.

Help me!

Ah.
What?

I'm just amazed,
and I'm not easily amazed.

About what?

How you can start a day
with one kind of expectation

and end up
so completely different.

Well, do you like the way
this day is turning out?

I like it very much.

It's a perfect day.
You couldn't have
planned a day like this.

Well, you can.

It just takes
an awful lot of work.

Come on in. I want to
show you something.

I don't think I should, Phil.
I don't think you should either.

That's why I'm just gonna show
you this one thing, and kick you
right out. It'll just be one minute.

It's just lovely.

Would you like to sit
and stare at the fake fire?

Okay.

It's a really wonderful room.

It is now.

I don't know, Phil.
I don't think we should do this.

I don't either.

You know what,
on second thought,
I think we should.

It's the perfect end
to a perfect day.

Well, it's a little fast for me.

Me too.

Maybe I should go.

Where would you go?

Why?

We've got a perfect fire.

I've got some French
poetry here. Baudelaire...

Mmm.
C'est fantastique.

I will read to you.

I've got some ice cream over on
the windowsill. Hold on a minute.

Rocky road?

I love rocky road.

Yeah, I thought so.

You have to stay.

Oh, no, really, Phil, I'm tired.
We can see each other tomorrow.

No, tonight.
It's gotta be tonight.

No, Phil, really.

Come on, just stay for
a while and if you like it,
stay for a while longer.

And if you like that,
stay for a while longer.

Let's not spoil it, okay?

We're not spoiling it.
I don't want to spoil it either.

You know I can't stay with you.

Why not? I love you.

You love me?
I love you.

You don't even know me.
Oh, I know you. I know you.

Oh, no. I can't believe
I fell for this!

This whole day has
just been one long setup.

No, it hasn't.

And I ate fudge. Yuck!

No white chocolate,
no fudge.

What are you doing?
Are you making some kind
of list or something?

No.
Did you call up my friends

and ask them what I like
and what I don't like?

No.
Is this what love is for you?

No, this is real.
This is love.

Stop saying that!

You must be crazy.

I could never love someone
like you, Phil, because you'll
never love anyone but yourself.

That's not true.
I don't even like myself.
Give me another chance.

That's for making me
care about you.

I haven't done this
since I was a kid.

Me neither. It's fun.

And good, clean fun too.
I think that's what's missing
in the world today, don't you?

Gosh, I can't wait to do this
with my own children.

Golly, I want kids,
lots of kids!

I want to adopt,
I want to have my own kids,
I want to have foster kids.

I got this over at Snowman City.

Hey! Some kid just
threw a snowball at us.

Come here!
Let's have some fun!
Come on, eh?

Hey, kids, come on!
I wish these were my own
kids hitting me like this.

Hey!

Hey! Ow, ow! Are any
of you up for adoption?

Hey, here's a humdinger
over here!

Wasn't that great?

Stop it!

Phil! Over here!

Where have you been?
You're missing all the fun.

Phil, you look terrible.

What happened?
Rough night?

Yeah.

Okay, campers.

Rise and shine.

And don't forget your booties,
because it's cold out there today.

It's cold out there every day.

This country's largest lake,
Chapala,

is located near
the city of Guadalajara.

What is Mexico?

Leslie.
What is Mexico?

Correct.
Lakes and Rivers, 400.

Seneca is the largest of these
lakes in west-central New York.

- What are the Finger Lakes?
- Jim.

- What are the Finger Lakes?
- Correct.

Amazing.

This South American lake--
What is Titicaca?

- Jim.
- What is Titicaca?

Correct.
Lakes and Rivers for 1000.

Milky-colored--
What is the Rhone?

--when entering Lake Geneva,

this river is
clear blue upon exiting.

Jim?
What is the Rhone?

The Rhone. Good for $1000.

You're $500 off the lead right now.

Very good. Very good.

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!

You got a problem with
what I'm saying, Larry?

Untie your tongue and you
come out here and talk, huh?

Am I upsetting you, princess?

You know, you want
a prediction about the weather?

You're asking the wrong Phil.

I'll give you a winter prediction.

It's gonna be cold.

It's gonna be gray.

And it's gonna last you
for the rest of your life.

Once again the eyes of
the nation have turned here

to this tiny village
in Western Pennsylvania.
Blah-blah-blah-blah.

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.

Real good, Phil. Real good.

He's out of his gourd.

I'm worried. I think
there's something
really wrong with Phil.

Yeah, there's a lot of things
really wrong with Phil.

Oh, hi, Phil.

I've come to the end of me, Rita.

There's no way out now.

I just want you to remember we had
a beautiful day together once.

All right, little fella.

Good job. He just smiled at me!
Did you see that?

I believe he did.

Okay, little fella.
There you go.

Hi, there, mister.
Something I can do you for?

Hey! What are you doing?

Get the word out.
Somebody kidnapped Phil!

We're going after him!

Why would anybody
steal a groundhog?

I could probably think
of a couple of reasons.
Pervert.

He must have just snapped!

This ought to be good.

What is he doing?

What can he be thinking?

That's not bad
for a quadruped.

You gotta check your mirrors.
Just the side of your eye.
Side of your eye.

That's it. That's it.

Hey, they're chasing us!
Come on, make it fun.

Don't drive angry.

Don't drive angry.

Hot dog! There's no way out
except the way we came in!

We got him now!

What the hell is he doing?
I don't know.

If you gotta shoot, aim high.
I don't wanna hit the groundhog.

Well, we mustn't keep
our public waiting, huh?

It's showtime, Phil.

All right, on me, Larry,
in three...

two...

one.

Phil!

He might be okay.

Well, no. Probably not now.

Aw, nuts.

Did you sleep well,
Mr. Connors?

Would you like
some, uh, toast?

Oh, my God.

That's him.

He was a really, really great guy.

I really, really liked him a lot.

I'm sorry?
What was that again?

I'm a god.
You're God?

I'm a god. I'm not the God,
I don't think.

Because you survived a car wreck?

You folks
ready to order?

I didn't just survive a wreck.
I wasn't just blown up yesterday.

I have been stabbed,
shot, poisoned,

frozen, hung, electrocuted
and burned.

Oh, really?

Every morning I wake up
without a scratch on me,
not a dent in the fender.

I am an immortal.

Special today is blueberry waffles.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I want you
to believe in me.

You're not a god.

You can take my word for it.
This is 12 years of Catholic
school talking.

I can come back
if you're not ready.

How do you know
I'm not a god?

Ha! Oh, please.

How do you know?
Because it's not possible.

I'll come back.

Doris.

This is Doris.
Her brother-in-law
Carl owns this diner.

She's worked here since she was 17.
More than anything else in her life,

she wants to see Paris
before she dies.

Oh, boy, would I!

What are you doing?

This is Debbie Kleiser
and her fiancé, Fred.

Do I know you?

They're supposed to be getting
married this afternoon, but Debbie
is having second thoughts.

What?

Lovely ring.

This is Bill. He's been a waiter
for three years, since he left
Penn State and had to get work.

He likes the town,
he paints toy soldiers
and he's gay.

I am.

This is Gus. He hates his life here,
he wishes he'd stayed in the Navy.

Well, I could've retired
on half pay after 20 years.

Excuse me.
Is this some kind of trick?

Well, maybe the real God
uses tricks.

You know, maybe he's not
omnipotent, he's just been around
so long he knows everything.

Oh, okay. Well, who's that?

This is Tom.
He worked in the coal mine
till they closed it down.

And her?
That's Alice.

Came from Ireland when she
was a baby. She lived in Erie
most of her life.

He's right.

And her?
Nancy.

She works in the dress shop,
and makes noises like a chipmunk
when she gets real excited.

Hey!
It's true.

How do you know these people?
I told you, I know everything.

In about five seconds,
a waiter's gonna drop
a tray of dishes.

Five, four, three, two, one.
This is nuts.

Okay?
Okay, that's enough.

What about me, Phil?
Do you know me too?

I know all about you.
You like producing, but you hope
for more than Channel 9 Pittsburgh.

Well, everyone knows that.

You like boats but not the ocean.

You go to a lake in the summer
with your family up in the mountains.

There's a long wooden dock
and a boathouse with boards
missing from the roof,

and a place you used to
crawl underneath to be alone.

You're a sucker for
French poetry and rhinestones.

You're very generous.

You're kind to strangers
and children.

And when you stand in the snow
you look like an angel.

How are you doing this?

I told you, I wake up
every day right here.

Right in Punxsutawney.
And it's always February 2nd.

And there's nothing
I can do about it.

If you still can't
believe me, listen:

In 10 seconds,

Larry is gonna come through
that door and take you away
from me.

But you can't let him.
Larry?

Please believe me.
You've got to believe me.

You guys ready? We'd better
get going if we're gonna stay
ahead of the weather.

What's that?

"--to stay ahead of the weather."

Maybe it really is happening.

I mean, how else
could you know so much?

- Well, there is no way.
- I'm not that smart.

Maybe I should spend
the rest of day with you

as an objective witness,
just to see what happens.

Gee, this sounds like
a science project.

Concentrate.

You gotta want it.

You've gotta want it, Rita.

Oh, come on. It's more
in the wrist than the fingers.
You just gotta "pfft, pfft."

Pfft, pfft.

Be the hat. Come on, go.
Be the hat.

It would take me a year
to get good at this.

No, six months.
Four to five hours a day,
and you'd be an expert.

Is this what you do with eternity?
Now you know.

That's not the worst part.

What's the worst part?

The worst part is that
tomorrow you will have
forgotten all about this

and you'll treat me
like a jerk again.

No.

It's all right, I am a jerk.

No, you're not.

It doesn't make any difference.
I've killed myself so many times,

I don't even exist anymore.

Well, sometimes I wish I had
a thousand lifetimes.

I don't know, Phil.
Maybe it's not a curse.

It just depends
on how you look at it.

Gosh, you're
an upbeat lady!

I want you to know it's been
a really nice day for me.

Me too.

And maybe, if it's not too boring,
we could do it again sometime.

I hope so.

You're still here.

Oh, I thought you were supposed
to disappear. Or I was or something.

Not until 6.
Oh! You rat!

I never said midnight.

You knew I was
waiting for midnight.

Does this mean
you're gonna leave?

No.

Good.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

It's all right. You can fall asleep.

I promise I won't touch you.

Much.

It's all right. I'm not tired.

What were you saying?

I think the last thing
that you heard was,

"Only God could make a tree."

Really?

What I wanted to say was...

I think you're the kindest,

sweetest, prettiest person

I've ever met in my life.

I've never seen anyone

that's nicer to people
than you are.

Hm?

And the first time I saw you

something happened to me.

I never told you...

but I knew that
I wanted to hold you

as hard as I could.

I don't deserve
someone like you.

But if I ever could...

I swear I would love you

for the rest of my life.

Did you say something?

Good night, Rita.

Good night, Phil.

Okay, campers, rise and shine!

And don't forget your booties,
because it's cold out there!

- It's cold out there every day.
- What is this, Miami Beach?

Not hardly!

Who wants coffee?
Get it while it's hot.

Oh. Thanks, Phil.
Larry?

Skim milk, two sugar.

Yeah. Thanks, Phil.

Pastry?

No. We're just setting up.

Pastry, Larry?
Take your pick.

Thanks, Phil. Raspberry. Great.

See, I was just talking with
Buster Green, he's the head
groundhog honcho.

And he said if we set up over here
we might get a better shot.

What do you think?

Sounds good.

Larry, what do you think?

Yeah. Let's go for it.

Good work, Phil.

Maybe we'll get lucky.
Let me give you a hand
with the heavy stuff.

No, no. You got your coffee.
I'll get it.

We never talk, Larry.
Do you have kids?

Yes?
Yes, I'd like a piano lesson, please.

Oh, okay. I'm with a student now.
But if you want to come back
tomorrow, I could probably--

Well, I kind of want to get started.
I could give you $1000.

Come on in.

Morning!
Off to see the groundhog?

Buon giorno, signore!

Think it's gonna be
an early spring?

Winter, slumbering in the open air

Wears on his smiling face

A dream of spring

Ciao!

Ciao!

Phil!

Rita, hi.
Hey, Lar, hi.

How does she look?

Great.

Thank you.

Did you know he could ice sculpt?
No.

Not bad, Mr. Connors.
You say this is your first lesson?

Yes, but my father
was a piano mover, so...

Phil? Phil Connors,
I thought it was you.

Ned Ryerson.
Yes.

I have missed you so much.

I don't know where you're headed,
but can you call in sick?

Uh...

I gotta get going.

It's good to see you, Phil.

Hello, father.

Let's get you
someplace warm.

Yeah. Yeah.
Remember me?

Sir? Are you the one who
brought the old man in?

Mm-hm. How is he?

Well, he just passed away.

What did he die of?
He was just old.

It was just his time.

I want to see his chart. Excuse me.
Um, sir!

Sir, you can't come in here.

Sir, this is a restricted area.

Where's the chart?

Sometimes people just die.

Not today.

Gets hard down there
at the bottom.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Come on, dad.
Come on, pop. Come on, pop.

Come on. Come on, breathe.

Breathe, pop! Breathe, pop!

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.

From Punxsutawney,
it's Phil Connors.

So long.

Nice speech, Phil.
Very nice.

Thank you.

Thanks. How was that for you two?
My man, you touched me.

Thanks, Larry.
Thank you.

I gotta go.

Phil.
Hm?

That was surprising.
I didn't know you were
so versatile.

I surprise myself
sometimes.

Where are you going?
Would you like to get
a cup of coffee?

I'd love to. Can I have
a rain check? I've got some
errands I've gotta run. Okay?

Phil? Errands? What errands?

I thought we were going back.

What do you say?
What do you say?
What do you say?

You little brat.
You have never thanked me!

I'll see you tomorrow.

Maybe.

You totaled it.

It's only a flat tire.
What are we going to do?

It's an earthquake!
Oh, it's not an earthquake.

What is it?

Oh! Thank you, young man.

It's nothing, ma'am.
I had the tire and the jack.

Just be comfortable, all right?
It'll be a minute.

Who is that?

He must be from
the motor club.

Oh, my God, he is having
a heart attack! Do something!

Call 411, an ambulance,
a lawyer, doctor, anything,
oh, my God!

I think that did it.

If you're gonna eat steak,
get sharper teeth.

Enjoy your meal.
Thank you.

Who was that?

- I'm fine, I'm fine.
- Are you sure?

Eat, eat!

Well, people just don't understand

what is involved in this.
This is an art form.

You know, I think that
most people just think

that I hold a camera
and point it at stuff.

There is a heck of a lot
more to it than just that.

Hey, would you be at all interested
in seeing the inside of a van?

Oh, you know, I really
have to get back to the party.

Great idea.
I think I'll go with you.

Let me just drop a tip here.

Okay.

Rita, hi. How are you?
Hi.

Rita, this is Nancy.

Hi.
Nancy, Rita.

We were just gonna go
to the party. You gonna go?

Yeah, sounds like fun.
Maybe we should call Phil.

Phil Connors?
I think he's already in there.

Great.

Isn't he good?

He's great!

He's my student.

I'm so proud.

Thank you.

Hello, welcome to our party.

Phil, I didn't know
you could play like that.

Oh, I'm versatile.

It's that nice young man
from the motor club.

Thank you again.

It's nothing, ladies.

He's the fastest jack
in Jefferson County.

What was that all about?

I really don't know. They've been
hitting on me all night.

There you are!

I never thanked you properly
for what you did for Buster.

Well, he would've
choked for sure.

Well, he may have.
He was trying to swallow
a whole cow.

I owe you one, buddy.

Hang on to him, dear.
He's a real find.

What did you do today?

Oh, same old, same old.

Excuse me, Mr. Connors.

Hey, Fred,
how was the wedding?

Well, I just wanted to thank you
for making Debbie go through
with it and everything.

All I did was fan the flame
of her passion for you, Fred.

You are the best.

No, you're the best.

Rita, this is Debbie
and Fred Kleiser.

Hi.

Here you go, kids.
Congratulations.

What is this? Oh, no way.

No way!

WrestleMania!
No way! No way! Ha-ha!

How did you know?
We'll be in Pittsburgh anyway!

Thank you, Mr. Connors.
You're a real pal.

Oh, this is the best.

I don't understand.

Uh, yeah, I guess not.

How does everyone know you?
I mean, you only come here
once a year,

and you seem like the most
popular person in town.

Excuse me, Dr. Connors?
Yes. Yes.

I want to thank you
for fixing Felix's back.

He can even help
around the house again.

Well, I'm sorry
to hear that, Felix.

Dr. Connors?

It's kind of an honorary title.

What is going on?

I really don't know.

No, there is something
going on with you.

Would you like the long version
or the short one?

Let's start with the short
and go from there.

Okay, folks,
attention.

Time for the big bachelor auction.
Now, you all know the rules.

All the eligible bachelors
come down in front.

And you ladies,

you bid on them!

And you get to do whatever
you want with them,

no questions asked!

I don't want to know about it,
as long as it's legal.

Okay, so get out your pocketbooks,
and remember it's all for charity.

Phil!

What are you doing down here?

Go on, get up there.

I got 10 bucks
that says you're mine.

Hey, Buster,
I got your first victim.

Phil Connors,
come on up here!

All right! Now, what am I bid
for this fine specimen?

Five dollars!

The bidding has
begun at $5.

Ten dollars!

Fifteen!

Twenty!
Twenty-five!

Thirty!

- Thirty-five!
- Forty!

Forty-five!

Fifty!

Fifty-five!

Sixty!

I'm bid $60.
Do I hear more?

$339.88.

I don't think we're gonna
accept any more bids.

I think that's sold
to the little lady for $339.88!

Congratulations!

Okay, bachelors, who's next?

All right! Now, what
am I bid for this guy?

Do I hear a buck and a half?

Anybody?

Seventy-five cents?

I bid two bits!

Sold to the lady for 25 cents.

I got him!

Phil? Phil? Phil Connors,
I thought that was you.

Rita, this is Ned Ryerson,
he's my new insurance agent.

I'll say.

I have not seen this guy
for 20 years.

He comes up to me and then
he buys whole life, term, fire,
theft, auto, dental, health,

with the optional death
and dismemberment plan.
Water damage.

Phil, this is the
best day of my life.

Mine too.
Mine too.

Where are we going?
Oh, let's not spoil it.

Let's not-- I got that. Reow!

Why can't I look?

Because you
bother me a lot.

I'm getting cold.

How much longer
do I have to sit here?

I'm just trying to give
you your money's worth.
You paid top dollar for me.

Well, I think you were a bargain.

Sweet of you to say.
You're probably right.

Is it finished yet?

Almost. I still have to put
some cherry syrup on the top
and then we can eat it.

Come on, Phil.
I'm freezing!

One second, one second.

Let me turn it in the light.

It's amazing.

It's beautiful.

How did you do that?

I know your face so well,
I could have done it with
my eyes closed.

It's lovely.

I don't know what to say.

I do.

No matter what
happens tomorrow,

or for the rest of my life,

I'm happy now...

because I love you.

I think I'm happy too.

Aw, please. Not again.

- That is a great song.
- No, it's not.

Don't listen to this man--

It's too early.

Ow.

Something is different.

Good or bad?

Anything different is good.

But this could be real good.

Why are you here?

I bought you.
I own you.

But why are you still here?

You said, "Stay,"
so I stayed.

I said, "Stay," so you stayed.
Mm-hm.

I can't even make a collie stay.

I gotta check something.

Stay.

Stay.

They're gone!

They're all gone.

Do you know what today is?
No, what?

Today is tomorrow.

It happened.

You're here.
I'm here.

Oh, Phil. Why weren't you like this
last night? You just fell asleep.

It was the end
of a very long day.

Is there anything I can do
for you today?

I'm sure I can
think of something.

It's so beautiful!

Let's live here.

We'll rent to start.
