Rita: It's beautiful. I don't know what to say. Phil: I do. Whatever happens tomorrow, or for the rest of my life, I'm happy now... because I love you.

You know, people like blood sausage, too. People are morons.
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.
Ned, I would love to stay here and talk with you...but I'm not going to.
Phil: You wanna throw up here, or you wanna throw up in the car? Ralph: I think...both.
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.
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 him.
Phil: So, did you sleep OK without me? You tossed and turned, didn't you? Rita: You're incredible. Phil: Who told you?
Phil: Why are you here? Rita: You said stay so I stayed. Phil: I can't even make a collie stay.
Rita: This day was perfect. You couldn't have planned a day like this. Phil: Well, you can. It just takes an awful lot of work.
Rita: [Phil has described several people in the diner] What about me, Phil? Do you know me, too? Phil: I know all about you. You like producing, but you hope for more than Channel 9 Pittsburgh. Rita: Well, everyone knows that! Phil: You like boats, but not the ocean. You go to a lake in the summer…
That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over, and over...
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. [Ralph and Gus snort]
Felix's Wife: Dr. Connors. I want to thank you for fixing Felix's back. He can even help around the house again. Phil: I'm sorry to hear that, Felix.
Phil: I have been stabbed, shot, poisoned, frozen, hung, electrocuted, and burned. Rita: Oh, really? Phil: ...and every morning I wake up without a scratch on me, not a dent in the fender... I am an immortal.
Rita: [as Phil kisses Rita over and over discovering that he has finally passed Groundhog Day] Phil, why weren't you like this last night? You just fell asleep. Phil: It was the end of a VERY long day.
Rita: Do you ever have déjà vu? Phil: Didn't you just ask me that?
Phil: I'm a god. Rita: You're God? Phil: I'm a god. I'm not the God...I don't think.
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…
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!
