Happy Ground Hog Day!
Punxsutawney Phil predicts six more weeks of winter!
As Phil (Bill Murray) says:
Phil: “This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather.”
“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!”
Phil: “OK, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties cause it’s cold out there. It’s cold out there every day.”
Larry: “Did he actually refer to himself as ‘the talent’?”
Ned: “Ned Ryerson! ‘Needlenose Ned’? ‘Ned the Head’? Come on, buddy, Case Western High! Ned Ryerson! I did the whistling belly-button trick at the high school talent show? Bing! Ned Ryerson! Got the shingles real bad senior year, almost didn’t graduate? Bing again! Ned Ryerson! I dated your sister Mary Pat a couple of times until you told me not to anymore? Well?”
Phil: “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?”
Phil: “Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn’t one today.”
Ned: “Whew! Watch out for that first step. It’s a doozy!”
Phil: (to the groundhog) “Don’t drive angry! Don’t drive angry!”
