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 going to have some warm weather tomorrow,
gang wars and some very overpriced real estate.
Up in the Pacific Northwest, as you can see, they're going to have some
very, very tall trees.
It will be 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 going to mean to us here 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 going to meet up with all of this moisture coming up out of the Gulf.
They're going to mix together at high altitudes and cause some snow.
Going out on a limb now: Not going to hit us here in Pittsburgh. Going to push off and hit Altoona.
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 going to be here for the 10:00. Tomorrow's 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, our entertainment editor, Diane Kingman, looks at sex and violence in the movies.
Stay with us.
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?
Listen, if for any reason you don't want to rush back, I can do the 5 tomorrow.
Oh, come on! You think I want to stay an extra second in Punxsutawney? Please!
Look, Rita thinks it would be a great idea
to stay around for some of the other events. You know, get some incredible footage
of the people and the fun. The excitement!
You haven't worked with her yet, have you? She's really nice.
I think she's going to be a really good producer.
You guys are going to have fun.
She's fun. But not my kind of fun. I will be here for the 5.
Rita!
# Predictions show a steady low #
# You're feeling just the same #
# But seasons come and seasons go #
# I'll make you smile again #
# If you don't believe me take me by the hand #
# Can't you feel you're warming up, yeah, I'm your weatherman #
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?
You know, when I worked in San Diego
I covered the swallows returning to Capistrano six years in a row.
Someday, somebody's going to see me interviewing a groundhog and 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 here in the glove compartment. - I like blood sausage.
# They say it's gone, say winter's done #
# That don't mean a thing #
# 'Cause I'm the one, that moves the sun #
# For you I'd turn it into spring #
# So when you're feeling lonely, try to understand #
# Baby, I can warm you up, 'cause I'm your weatherman #
# Just ask the weatherman #
# 'Cause I'm you're weatherman #
Rita, I can't stay here.
- Prima donna. - Yeah, I know.
- 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've booked you in a very nice bed and breakfast in 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"?
# And put your little hand in mine #
# There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb #
# Babe #
# I got you, Babe #
Okay, campers, rise and shine! And don't forget your booties.
- 'Cause it's cold out there today! - 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 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.
Yes, they are. But you know, there's another reason why today's especially exciting
- Especially cold. - Especially cold.
Oh, okay, but the big question on everybody's lips
- Yeah, their chapped lips. - On their chapped lips. You got that right.
Do you think Phil's going to come out and see his shadow?
- Punxsutawney Phil! - That's right, woodchuck chuckers!
It's Groundhog Day!
Get up and chuck me a hog out there! Yah!
- Soo-ee! Soo-ee! - Come here, groundhog!
- Morning! - Morning.
- You off to see the groundhog? - Yes, I am.
You think it's going to be an early spring?
I'm predicting March 21st.
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 a cappuccino this morning, is there?
Oh, I really don't know.
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 uh, there's talk of a blizzard.
Well, we may catch a break and that blizzard's going to blow right by us.
All of this moisture coming up out of the south
by midday is probably going to push on to the east of us.
And at high altitudes it's going to crystallize and give us what we call snow. Probably be some accumulation.
But here in Punxsutawney, our high's going to get up to about 30 today, teens tonight.
Chance of precipitation about 20 per cent today, 20 per cent tomorrow.
Did you want to talk about the weather or were you just making chitchat?
Chitchat.
See you later.
Goodbye.
Will you be checking out today, Mr. Connors?
Chance of departure today, 100 per cent.
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. I 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?
'Cause if you do, you could always use a little more.
Am I right, or am I right, or am I 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 crap shoot 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! Oh. What are you doing for dinner?
Something else.
It's been great seeing you, Needlehead. Take care.
Watch out for that first step. It's a doozy!
# Strike up the music the band has begun #
# The Pennsylvania Polka #
# Pick out your partner and join in the fun #
# The Pennsylvania Polka #
# It started in Scranton It's now number one #
# It's bound to entertain ya #
# Everybody has a mania # - Hey, Phil!
# Everybody has a mania # - Phil, over here!
# to do the polka from Pennsylvania # - Where have you been?
# to do the polka from Pennsylvania # - It was horrible.
A giant leech got me.
Well, you're missing all the fun. These people are great!
Some of them been partying all night long. They sing songs till they get too cold.
And then they go sit by the fire and then 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?"
Then it's the same old schtick every year. The guy comes 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 when it's going to end.
Awww! Isn't he cute?
Do you like your 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 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!
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 this moisture coming up out of the Gulf is going to push off to the east, into 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 going to 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!
You going to the groundhog dinner?
No, I had groundhog for lunch.
Wasn't bad. Tastes like chicken.
You two run along.
Wow!
Looking foxy tonight, man. Hey!
Is your troop going to be selling cookies again this year?
That's so funny, Phil.
So, what are you going to do?
I think I'm going to go back to my room and
take a hot shower and maybe read 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.
# And put your little hand in mine #
# There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb #
# Babe #
# I got you, Babe #
Okay, campers, rise and shine! And don't forget your booties.
- 'Cause it's cold out there today! - It's cold out there every day!
- What is this, Miami Beach? - Not hardly!
Nice going, boys. You're playing yesterday's tape.
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.
Yes, they are. But you know, there's another reason why today's especially exciting
- Especially cold. - Especially cold.
Oh, okay, but the big question on everybody's lips
- Chapped lips. - Yeah, their chapped lips. - You got that right.
Do you think Phil's going to come out and see his shadow?
- Punxsutawney Phil! - That's right, woodchuck chuckers!
It's Groundhog Day!
Get up and chuck me a hog out there! Yah!
- Soo-ee! Soo-ee! - Come here, groundhog!
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.
Don't mess with me, porkchop!
- What day is this? - It's February 2nd.
Groundhog Day.
Yeah.
I'm sorry. You know, I thought it was yesterday.
Oh.
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.
75 to 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 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, uh, to tell you the truth, Neddy, I'm not feeling real well. Would you excuse me?
Well, you know, it's funny you should mention your health because you will never guess what I do now.
Do you sell insurance?
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 want to know something?
I gots a feeling
you ain't got any.
Am I right, or am I right, or am I right?
- I got to go. - Phil!
Watch out for that first step, it's a doozy!
# Strike up the music the band has begun #

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 and 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 going to 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 world's most famous groundhog/weatherman
Punxsutawney Phil
who's just about to tell us how much more winter we can expect.
This is a riot!
Awww. 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--
Oh, my gosh!
Yeah, sport, I know there's a blizzard.
When are the long-distance lines going to be repaired?
Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.
Hello?
Hello!?
# And put your little hand in mine #
# There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb #
# Babe #
# I got you, Babe #
Morning!

Oh. Did you sleep well, Mr.
Hey, Phil!
Phil Connors! I thought
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 High.
Hey, look-- Heyyy!
# Pick out your partner and join in the fun # - Phil! Phil! Over here!
# The Pennsylvania Polka # - 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?
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 re-living 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.
Look out for your shadow there, pal!
Morons, your bus is leaving!
You guys ready? We better get going if we're going to 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 going to hit Altoona.
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 going to 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 got to 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.
You want to throw up here or you want to throw up in the car?
I think, both.
Come on.
I really don't think I should be driving.
No, no. I don't, I don't either.
Watch your head.
Watch your knees. Don't break anything.
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'd 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 could let Ralph drive!
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!
Phil.
Uh, uh, Phil.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I'm betting he's going to swerve first.
Phil!
Phillllll!!!!!
I'm not going to live by their rules anymore!
I noticed that.
You make choices and you live with them.
My knee!
Let me handle this.
Yeah, uh, three cheeseburgers, two large fries
two chocolate shakes and one large Coke.
And some flapjacks!
Too early for flapjacks?
# And put your little hand in mine #
# There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb #
Yes!
Rise and shine, campers!
Don't forget your booties 'cause 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.
I'd love some of your coffee, please.
- I hope - Flurries moving in a little bit later
but the blizzard's going to hit outside of town.
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 going to stay an extra day.
Catch you tomorrow, huh, pops.
Hey!
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.
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.
Well, that's exactly what makes me so special.
I don't even have to floss.
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.
Are you guys ready? We better get going if we're going to stay ahead of the weather.
Thanks, Larry.
Well! Would you like a doggie bag?
No. I'm going to stay here and finish.
I thought you hated this town.
No, 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, no. In 12th grade, your English teacher was
Mrs. Walsh.
Nancy. Lincoln. Walsh. Okay.
- Thanks very much. - Hey!
Hey!
# Strike up the music the band has begun #
# The Pennsylvania Polka #
Nancy?
Nancy Taylor!
Lincoln High School!
I sat next to you in Mrs. Walsh's English class!
- I'm sorry. - Phil Connors!
- Wow! That's amazing! - You don't remember me, do you?
I even asked you to the prom.
Phil Connors?
I was short and I've sprouted.
Gosh!
How are you?
Great.
You look terrific!
You look very, very terrific!
Listen, I got to 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. Wish me luck! - Okay.
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 going to 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
- 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, 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'?
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?
The van still won't start. Larry's working on it.
Oh, 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.
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'd like to say a prayer and drink to world peace.
- To world peace. - World peace.
- This is wonderful! - See? Didn't I tell you?
How do you know so much about Punxsutawney?
I spent a lot of time here.
Small-town people are more real. They're 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.
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.
Which is about a million miles from where I started out in college.
You weren't in broadcasting or journalism?
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.
It was 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, see what happens.
Well, it's gotten you here.
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?
Believe it or not, I studied 19th-century French poetry.
The girl I will love
is like a fine wine
that gets a little better
every morning.
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 did 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!
# You give your hand to me #
# And then you say, "Hello" #
# And I can hardly speak #
# My heart is beating so #
# And anyone can tell #
# You think you know me well #
# Well, you don't know me #
# No you don't know me #
# No you don't know the one #
# Who dreams of you at night #
# And longs to kiss your lips #
# And longs to hold you tight #
# Oh, I'm just a friend #
# That's all I've ever been #
# 'Cause you don't know me #
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 plan 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. - Oh, I don't think you should, either.
That's why I'm just going to show you this one thing, and kick you right out. So, it'll 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
Sé fantastique.
I will read to you.
I've got some ice cream over on the windowsill. Hold on a minute.
Rocky road.
Oh! I love rocky road.
Yeah, I thought so.
You have to stay.
No, really, Phil, I'm tired. We can see each other tomorrow.
No, tonight. It's got to 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 longer.
Let's not spoil it, okay?
I'm not spoiling. I don't want to spoil it either.
You know I can't-- 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.
Oh, no. I can't believe I fell for this!
This whole day has been one long setup.
No, it hasn't.
And I hate fudge. Yuck!
No white chocolate, no fudge.
What are you doing? Are you making some kind of list, or something?
Did you call up my friends and ask them what I like and what I don't like?
- 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. Look what you can round up.
Hey! Some kid just threw a snowball at us.
Come here! Let's have some fun!
I wish these were my own kids hitting me like this.
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?
- Correct. - Lakes and Rivers, 400.
Seneca is the largest of these lakes in West-Central New York.
What are the Finger Lakes?
- What are the Finger Lakes? - Correct.
- This South American lake in Bolivia... - What is Titicaca?
- Correct.
Lakes and Rivers for 1,000.
- Milky-colored... - The Rhone.
when entering Lake Geneva
this river is clear blue upon exiting.
- Jim? - What is the Rhone?
Good for $1, 000.
- You're $500 off the lead right now. - Let's go to inventors for $200.
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 going to be cold.
It's going to be gray.
And it's going to last you for the rest of your life.
# And put your little hand in mine #
# There ain't no hill or mount-- #
# And put your little hand in mine #
# There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb #
# Babe #
# I got you, Babe #
Once again the eyes of the nation have turned here to this
tiny village in Western Pennsylvania. Blah, 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 got to be stopped.
And I have to stop it.
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 fellow.
Good job. He just smiled at me! Did you see that?
I believe he did.
Okay, little fellow. There you go.
Hi, there, mister. Something I can do you for?
Hey!
Hey! What are you doing?
Dave! 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 got to check your mirrors. Use 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.
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 got to shoot, aim high, I don't want to hit the groundhog.
Well, we mustn't keep our public waiting, huh?
It's show time, Phil.
All right. On me, Larry, in three,
two
one.
Phil!
He might be okay.
Well, no. Probably not now.
# And put your little hand in mine #
# There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb #
Aww, nuts.
Did you sleep well, Mr. Connors?
Would you like some
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?
And 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 could come back if you're not ready.
How do you know I'm not a god?
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 getting married this afternoon, but Debbie is having second thoughts.
What?
Lovely ring.
This is Bill. He's been a waiter here 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 just knows everything.
- Well, who's that? - This is Tom.
He worked in the coal mine till they closed it down.
- And her? - That's Alice.
She came over here from Ireland when she was a baby. She lived in Erie most of her life.
He's right.
- And her? - Nancy.
She works in a dress shop, and makes noises like a chipmunk when she gets real excited.
- It's true. - How do you know these people?
I told you, I know everything.
In about five seconds, a waiter is going to 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 going to 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 better get going if we're going to stay ahead of the weather.
What's that?
"if we're going 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 the day with you
as an objective witness, just to see what happens.
Gee, this sounds like a science project.
Concentrate.
You got to want it.
You've got to want it, Rita.
Oh, come on. It's more in the wrist than the fingers. You just gotta--
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'll 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 can do it again sometime.
I hope so.
You're still here?
I thought you were supposed to disappear. Or I was, or something.
Not until 6.
You rat!
I never said midnight.
You knew I was waiting for midnight.
Does this mean you are going to 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 are the kindest
sweetest, prettiest person
that I've ever met in my life.
I've never seen anyone
that's nicer to people than you are.
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.
# And put your little hand in mine #
# There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb #
# Babe #
# I got you, Babe #
Okay, campers, rise and shine! And don't forget your booties.
- 'Cause it's cold out there today! - It's cold out there every day!
- What is this, Miami Beach? - Not hardly!
# Strike up the music the band has begun #

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.
Well, thanks, Phil. Raspberry. Great.
Say, 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 squeeze--
Well, I kind of want to get started. I can give you $1,000.
Come on in.
Morning! Off to see the groundhog?
Buon giorno, signore!
You think it's going to be an early spring?
"Winter, slumbering in the open air
"Wears on his smiling face
"a dream of spring."
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.
I have missed you so much.
I don't know where you're headed, but can you call in sick?
I got to get going.
It's good to see you, Phil.
Hello, father.
Let's get you someplace warm.
Yeah. Yeah.
Remember me?
Excuse me, sir?
- Are you the one who brought the old man in? - M-hmm. 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. - 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 one, pop.
Come on, pop.
Come on. 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 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 got to go.
Phil.
That was surprising. I didn't know you were so versatile.
I surprise myself sometimes.
Well, 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 got to run. Okay?
Well, Phil!
Errands? What errands?
I thought we were going back.
Now hold it, fella.
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've totaled it. - No.
- 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?
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!
- Well, what should I do? - Call 911, an ambulance, a lawyer, doctor, anything!
I think that did it.
If you're going to eat steak, get some sharper teeth, all right?
- 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 the 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, but.
Great idea. I think I'll go with you.
Yeah. Let me just drop a tip here. Okay.
Rita! Hi! How are you?
- Rita, this is Nancy. - Hi!
Nancy, Rita.
We were just going to go to the party. You going to 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 are the best.
- Rita, this is Debbie and Fred Kleiser. - Hi.
- Here you go, kids. Congratulations. - What is this?
No way!
Wrestlemania! No way!
How'd you know? We're going to 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.
You seem like the most popular person in town.
- Excuse me. Dr. Connors? - 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!
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.

Sold to the lady for 25 cents.
I got him!
Oh!
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 and then he buys whole life, term, uniflex, 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--Oh! I got that.
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. All right.
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've 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.

# I got you, Babe #
# They say our love won't pay the rent #
# Before it's earned #
- # Our money's all been spent # - Oh, please. Not again.
- That is a great song. - No, it's not.
Don't listen to this man, he's
It's too early.
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.
I can't even make a collie stay.
I got to check something.
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.
# What a day this has been! #
# What a rare mood I'm in! #
# Why, it's almost like being in love! #
# There's a smile on my face for the whole human race! #
# Why, it's almost like being in love! #
# All the music of life seems to be #
# Like a bell that is ringing for me! #
# And from the way that I feel #
# When that bell starts to peal #
# I would swear I was falling #
# Swear I was falling #
# It's almost like being in love. #
