Phil Conners (Bill Murray)
- Phil: People like blood sausage, too. People are morons.
- Phil: Chance of departure today, one hundred percent.
- Phil: So'd you turn pro with that belly button thing, Ned?
- Phil: Ned, I would love to stay here and talk with you... but I'm not going to.
- 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.
- Phil: Is it snowing in space?
- Phil: I make the weather.
- Phil: Well, it's Groundhog Day... again...
- Phil: You're a producer, come up with something.
- Phil: What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.
- 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: [playing chicken with an oncoming train] I'm betting he's going to swerve first.
- Phil: Needle eye Ned...Ned the Head!
- Phil: Catch you tomorrow, huh pops?
- Phil: I told you, call me Bronco.
- 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.
- 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.
- Phil : [to the groundhog] Don't drive angry.
- Phil : Well, we musn't keep our public waiting.
- 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!
- Phil: I am not The God, I'm just a god.
- 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 : 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 smiling face a dream of spring.
- Phil: 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.
- Phil: If you're gonna eat steak, get yourself some sharper teeth.
- Phil: No matter what happens tomorrow or for the rest of my life, I'm happy now.
- Phil: Today is tomorrow. It happened!
