Daily Dialogue — December 27, 2018

“Whaddya say? Whaddya say? Whaddya say? You have never thanked me, you little brat!”

— Groundhog Day (1993), screenplay by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis, story by Danny Rubin

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Gift.

Trivia: Danny Rubin’s first draft of the screenplay ended with Phil waking on February the Third, to discover that Rita was trapped in a time loop of her own.

Dialogue On Dialogue: On Phil’s last day stuck in Groundhog Day purgatory, he goes through an elaborate series of ‘errands,’ each a gift to people in Punxsutawney — and proof he had fully achieved an authentic state of being.
