high.
I don't wanna hit the groundhog.
We mustn't keep
our public waiting.
It's show time.
All right, on me, Larry,
in three!
Two, one.
He might be okay.
Probably not now.
Nuts.
Did you sleep well, Mr. Connors?
Would you like some toast?
- What's going on?
- My God.
That's him.
He was a really great guy.
I really liked him a lot.
I'm sorry.
What was that again?
I'm sorry.
What was that again?
- I'm a god!
- You're a god?
I'm a god.
I'm not the God, I don't think.
Because you survived a car wreck?
You ready to order?.
I didn't just survive a wreck.
I wasn't just blown up yesterday.
I have been stabbed,
shot poisoned...
frozen, hung, electrocuted...
- and burned.
- Really?.
Every morning I wake up fine,
not a dent in the fender.
- I am an immortal.
- Special today is blueberry waffles.
Why are you telling me this?
Because I want you
to believe in me.
You're not a god. Believe me. This is
12 years of Catholic school talking.
I could come back
if you're not ready.
How do you know I'm not a god?
Please!
Because It's not possible!
- I'll come back.
- Doris!
This is Doris. Her brother-in-law,
Carl, owns this diner.
She's worked here since she was 1 7.
She wants to see Paris before she dies.
- Boy, would l!
- What are you doing?
- Debbie Klelser and her fiance, Fred.
- Do I know you?
They're supposed to be married this
afternoon, but Debbie is reconsidering.
- What?
- Lovely ring.
This is Bill who's been a walter
for three years...
since he left Penn State
and had to get work
He like the town, paints toy soldiers,
and he's gay.
I am.
This is Gus. He hates his life here
and wishes he'd stayed in the Navy.
I could have retired on half pay
after 20 years.
Is this some kind of trick?
Maybe the real God uses tricks.
Maybe He's not omnipotent.
He's just been around so long,
He knows everything.
- Who's that?
- This is Tom.
He worked in the coal mine
till they closed It down.
- Her?.
- Alice.
She came from Ireland as a baby
and lived in Erie most of her life.
- He's right.
- Nancy.
She works in the dress shop and make
chipmunk noises when she gets excited.
- It's true.
- How do you know these people?
I know everything. I n five seconds,
a walter will drop a tray of dishes.
- Five, four, three, two, one.
- This is nuts.
That's enough.
- Do you know me too?
- I know all about you.
You like producing, but you're hoping
for more than Channel 9 Pittsburgh.
Everyone knows that.
You like boats, but not the ocean.
You go to a mountain lake in the summer
with your family.
There's a long, wooden dock
and a boathouse...
with boards missing
from the roof....
and a place you used to crawl
underneath to be alone.
You're a sucker for French poetry
and rhinestones.
You're very generous.
You're kind to strangers
and children.
And when you stand in the snow,
you look like an angel.
How are you doing this?
I wake up every day right here...
In Punxsutawney,
and It's always February 2.
There's nothing
I can do about lt.
If you still doubt me...
In ten seconds...
Larry will come through that door
and take you away from me...
but you can't let him.
Please believe me.
You've got to believe me.
You ready?. We better get going if we're
going to stay ahead of the weather.
What's that?
Maybe It really is happening.
How else could you know so much?
There is no way.
I'm not that smart.
Maybe I should spend the day
with you...
as an objective witness,
Just to see what happens.
This sounds
like a science project.
Concentrate.
You gotta want lt.
It's more in the wrist than the finger.
It's just gotta--
Be the hat! Come on! Go!
It would take me a year
to get good at this.
Six months. Four to five hours a day,
and you'd be an expert.
Is this what you do
with eternity?.
Now you know.
That's not the worst part.
What's the worst part?
The worst part is that tomorrow you
will have forgotten all about this...
and you'll
