Daily Dialogue — June 25, 2016

Rita: It’s beautiful. I don’t know what to say.
Phil: I do. Whatever happens tomorrow, or for the rest of my life, I’m happy now… because I love you.

— Groundhog Day (1994), screenplay by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis, story by Danny Rubin

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: First Date.

Trivia: In the original version of the script by Danny Rubin, Phil Connors was already trapped inside Groundhog Day at the start of the story. We joined him on a typical day, with the audience wondering how he knew everything that was going to happen. Harold Ramis promised not to change this aspect of the script, but ultimately decided to do so.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This is an unusual first date in that it’s their last first date. What a terrific movie!
