- : I make the weather.
- : Did he actually refer to himself as "the talent"?
- Phil: So, did you sleep OK without me? You tossed and turned, didn't you?
- : You're incredible.
- Phil: Who told you?
- Phil: Chance of departure today, one hundred percent.
- Phil: Is it snowing in space?
- : Phil, like the groundhog Phil?
- Phil: Yeah, like the groundhog Phil
- Gus: Lookout for your shadow there buddy.
- Phil: Morons, your bus is leaving
- Phil: Ned, I would love to stay here and talk with you... but I'm not going to.
- DJ: Rise and shine, campers! — and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooooold out there today.
- Phil: Well, it's Groundhog Day... again...
- Phil: I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster and drank pina 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...
- Phil: What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.
- Phil: I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life.
- Phil: What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?
- Ralph: That about sums it up for me.
- Gus [who is drunk, like Ralph]: Hey Phil, if we wanted to hit mailboxes we could let Ralph drive.
- Phil: It's the same things 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 track!"
- Gus: Eh, Phil… That's one I happen to agree with.
- Phil: [playing chicken with an oncoming train] I'm betting he's going to swerve first.
- Phil: [after crashing a car, to a cop at his window] Three cheeseburgers, two large fries, two chocolate shakes and a large coke.
- : And some flapjacks.
- Phil: Too early for flapjacks?
- Phil: There is no way this winter is ever going to end as long as that groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any way out of it. He's got to be stopped. And I have to stop him.
- Rita: Have you ever had déja-vu?
- Phil: Didn't you just ask me that?
- Phil: I've been stabbed, shot, poisoned, frozen, hung, electrocuted, and burned… Every day I wake up without a scratch on me, not a dent in the fender — I am an immortal!
- Rita: You're God?
- Phil: I'm a god — not the God, I don't think.
- Rita: I thought you hated this town.
- Phil: Well, it's beginning to grow on me.
- Rita: Believe it or not, I studied 19th century French poetry.
- Phil: [laughing] What a waste of time! — I mean for someone else that would be an incredible waste of time. It's so bold of you to even choose that. It's incredible. You must be a very, very strong person.
- Rita: I like to see a man of advancing years throwing caution to the wind. It's inspiring in a way.
- Phil: My years are not advancing as fast as you might think.
- Phil: Do you ever have deja-vu Mrs. Lancaster?
- : I don't think so, but I could check with the kitchen.
- Rita: You can't plan a day like today.
- Phil: Well you can, it just takes a lot of work.
- Phil: When 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.
- '' Do you think it's going to be an Early Spring
- Phil: I'm predicting March 21st
- Phil: So'd you turn pro with that belly button thing, Ned?
- Ned: What are you doing for dinner?
- Phil: Something else.
- Phil: Yeah, they're hicks Rita.
- Phil: This is one time when television fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather.
- Larry: [to phil] Hey, no, no no no. Nobody honks this horn but me. Okay pal.
- Phil: Isn't there any hot water.
- Mrs. Lancaster: No, there wouldn't be any today.
- Hallway man?: It's groundhog day.
- Phil: It's still just once a year, isn't it?
- Rita: Are you drunk?
- Phil: Drunk's more fun.
- Rita: These sticky buns are just Heaven.
- : Aren't they?
- Phil: You're a producer, come up with something.
- Young psychiatrist: I have an alcoholic now.
- Gus: Friends don't let friends drive.
- Ralph: Hey who else could go for some flap jacks right now?
- Phil: What if there were no tomorrow?
- Ralph: That would mean there would be no consequences.
- Gus: We could do whatever we wanted.
- Phil: [driving on train tracks] I'm not going to live by their rules any more.
- Ralph: I noticed that.
- Phil: You make choices and you live with them.
- Phil: Catch you tomorrow, huh pops?
- Phil: I told you, call me Bronco.
- Phil: The whole world is about to explode, what do you do?
- Rita: I just want to know where to point the camera.
- Phil: Isn't this how normal people talk?
- Rita: Close.
- Phil: This is a man we are talking about, right?
- Phil: Does he have to use the word "poopy"?
- Phil: It always makes me think of Rome the way the sun hits the buildings in the afternoon.
- Phil: I like to say a prayer and drink to world peace.
- Rita: I'm just amazed, and I'm not easily amazed.
- Rita: It is a really wonderful room.
- Phil: It is now.
- Rita: And I hate fudge. Yuck
- Phil: No white chocolate, no fudge.
- Rita: Why would anybody steal a groundhog.
- Larry: I can think of a couple of reasons. Pervert.
- Phil: [to the groundhog] Don't drive angry.
- Phil: Well, we musn't keep our public waiting.
- Larry: He might be ok. [explosion] Well, no, probably not now.
- Phil: You like boats, but not the ocean.
- Phil: You gotta want it.
- Phil: [to Rita throwing cards in a hat] Be the hat. Come on! Go!
- Phil: Gosh you're an upbeat lady.
- Phil: I promise I won't touch you ... much.
- Phil: Winter slumbering in the open air wears on his face a dream of spring.
- : Sometimes people just die.
- Phil: Not today.
- Phil: If you're gonna eat steak, get yourself some sharper teeth.
- : He's my student.
- ?: Hello, welcome to our party.
- Phil: No matter what happens tomorrow or for the rest of my life, I'm happy now.
- Phil: Something is different
- Rita: Good or bad?
- Phil: Anything different is good.
- Rita: I bought you I own you.
- Phil: Today is tomorrow.
