[Phil Connors is stopped by the police after some crazy driving] Phil: Yeah, three cheeseburgers, two large fries, two chocolate shakes and one large Coke. Ralph: [to Phil] And some flapjacks. Phil: [to Cop] Too early for flapjacks?
Phil: 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 track.' Gus: Well, Phil, that's one I happen to agree with.
Phil: I think you're the kindest, sweetest, prettiest person I've ever met in my life. I've never seen anyone that's nicer to people than you are. 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…
Piano Teacher: Not bad... Mr. Connors, you say this is your first lesson? Phil: Yes, but my father was a piano mover, so...
Ned: Phil? Hey, Phil? Phil! Phil Connors? Phil Connors, I thought that was you! Phil: Hi, how you doing? Thanks for watching. [Starts to walk away] Ned: Hey, hey! Now, don't you tell me you don't remember me because I sure as heckfire remember you. Phil: Not a chance. Ned: Ned... Ryerson.…
Phil: Do you know what today is? Rita: No, what? Phil: Today is tomorrow. It happened.
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.
You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong 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.
D.J. #1: Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today. D.J. #2: It's coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach? D.J. #1: Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today with that, you know, that, uh, that…
Phil: Do you ever have déjà vu, Mrs. Lancaster? Mrs. Lancaster: I don't think so, but I could check with the kitchen.
Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.
[with the CITs around a campfire] It's a weird moon. The moon kills, you know. It feeds off the earth. On a night like this, one of us could get up in the middle of the night, grab an ax, and cut somebody's head off. I remember a night like this, a few years ago. A guy and a girl went out driving.…
Tripper: Roxanne, I have what doctors call ‘very active glands.’ You're the first person I've told, my folks don't even know. Roxanne: Well, maybe you can have surgery without them knowing. Tripper: Awww, heck with surgery! Let's wrestle!
Rudy: I saw you dancing with Roxanne. Tripper: Oh yeah? Well, she sorta cornered me and there was nothing I could do without embarrassing her. Rudy: Do you like her? Tripper: Well I feel sorry for her, you know. She's got a glass eye. And, uh, I'm one of the few people who knows exactly which eye to…
Tripper: I'm takin' the C.I.T.s on an overnight for the next couple days so you're gonna have to do your own training, son. I want you to run two miles today and two and a half tomorrow. Rudy: I've never run that far. Tripper: Neither have I but somebody's gotta do it. I can't be expected to do it.…
