me.
That would be the
Home Shopping Network.
Thanks, Larry.
Go wait in the van.
That was nice, Phil.
" Big trees"!
Stop, Kenny.
Look, can you handle
the 10:00 or not?
If you don't want to rush back,
I can do the 5:00 tomorrow.
Stay an extra second in Punxsutawney?
Please!
Rita thinks it'd be
a great idea...
...to stay for other events.
You'll get incredible footage.
The people and the fun.
The excitement!
You haven't worked with her yet.
She's really nice.
I think she'll be
a really good producer.
You guys are going to have fun.
She's fun. But not my kind of fun.
I'll be here for the 5:00.
Can you keep a secret, Larry?
I'm probably leaving PBH.
So this will be the last time...
...we do the Groundhog together.
What's wrong with
the Groundhog Festival?
In San Diego...
...I covered the swallows returning
to Capistrano for six years.
Someone will see me interview
a groundhog, think I have no future.
I think it's a nice story.
He comes out.
He looks around.
He wrinkles up his nose.
He sees his shadow or not.
It's nice! People like it!
You are new, aren't you?
People like blood sausage too.
People are morons!
Nice attitude.
Look in the mirror and see how you
look when you do that groundhog thing.
For me? Once?
He comes out, and there he
looks at his little shadow.
Want some blood sausage?
I have some...
I like blood sausage.
Rita, I can't stay here.
Prima donna.
- What's the matter?
- I hate this place.
I stayed here two years ago.
I was miserable.
- I won't stay here.
- You're not staying here.
I'm not?
Larry's dropping me off.
I booked you in
a nice bed-and-breakfast.
Great.
I think this is one of the traits
of a good producer.
Keep the talent happy.
Anything I can do.
Would you help me
with my pelvic tilt?
Within reason. Want to come
to dinner with Larry and me?
No, thank you.
I've seen Larry eat.
You get your sleep.
See you in the morning.
Don't be late.
Did he actually call himself
"the talent"?
Campers, rise and shine!
Don't forget your booties:
- It's cold out there!
- It's cold every day!
- Is this Miami Beach?
- Not hardly!
Expect hazardous travel
later today with: : :
: : : that blizzard thing:
That blizzard thing:
Here's the report:
The National Weather Service
is calling for a big blizzard thing:
There's another reason
today's especially ex citing...
Especially cold:
The big question
on everybody's lips...
- Their chapped lips:
- On their chapped lips:
Will Phil come out
and see his shadow?
- Punxsutawney Phil!
- That's right, woodchuck chuckers!
It's Groundhog Day!
Get up and chuck me a hog!
- Morning!
- Morning.
- Off to see the groundhog?
- I am.
Think it'll be an early spring?
I'm predicting March 21 st.
Good guess!
I think that actually is
the first day of spring.
- Did you sleep well, Mr. Connors?
- I slept alone, Mrs. Lancaster.
Like some coffee?
Is there any possibility of getting
an espresso or cappuccino?
I really don't know...
How to spell espresso or cappuccino.
This looks fine.
I hope you enjoy the festivities.
- I'm sure I will.
- There's talk of a blizzard.
We may catch a break and
it will blow right by.
The moisture coming
out of the south...
...by midday will
push on to the east.
At high altitudes it'll crystallize
and give us what we call snow.
Our high will get to
about 30 today, teens tonight.
Chance of precipitation,
about 20% today, 20% tomorrow.
Did you want to talk about
the weather or just chitchat?
Chitchat.
See you later.
Will you be checking out today?
