- "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?
RITA : You're incredible.
PHIL : Who told you?
- Chance of departure today, one hundred percent.
- "Is it snowing in space?"
- Phil, like the groundhog Phil?
- Yeah, like the groundhog Phil
- Lookout for your shadow there buddy.
- Morons, your bus is leaving
- "Ned, I would love to stay here and talk with you... but I'm not going to."
- Rise and shine, campers! —and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooooold out there today.
- Well, it's Groundhog Day... again...
- "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... "
- What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.
- 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.
- 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.
- Hey Phil, if we wanted to hit mailboxes we could let Ralph drive.
- To Phil, who is driving because Ralph and Gus are drunk
- 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.
- I'm betting he's going to swerve first.
- Phil (while driving on railroad tracks towards an approaching train.)
- Three cheeseburgers, two large fries, two chocolate shakes and a large coke.
- Phil (to a police officer who comes to his window).
- 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?
- I've been stabbed, shocked, 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.
- I thought you hated this town.
Well, it's beginning to grow on me.
- RITA: Believe it or not, I studied 19th century French poetry.
PHIL: (laughs) What a waste of time! —I mean for someone else that would be an incredible waste of time. It's so bold of you to 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.
- Do you ever have deja-vu Mrs. Lancaster?
I don't think so, but I could check with the kitchen.
- You can't plan a day like today.
Well you can, it just takes a lot of work.
- When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.

I'm predicting March 21st

Something else.
