BOTH DEEJAYS Groundhog Day!
SOUND EFFECT of GRUNTING GROUNDHOGS as Phil pulls back the curtains and looks out.
HIS POV
The street is full of people heading toward Gobbler’s Knob, exactly as they did the day before.
PHIL (AGHAST) What the hell?
CUT TO: INT. BED AND BREAKFAST – DAWN
Phil rushes out into the corridor, hastily tying his tie, his suit jacket and overcoat over his arm. As he heads for the breakfast room, the same Chubby Man passes.
CHUBBY MAN Morning.
PHIL Morning.
CHUBBY MAN Think it’ll be an early Spring?
PHIL (stops, irritated) Didn’t we do this yesterday?
CHUBBY MAN (INTIMIDATED) I don’t know what you mean.
Phil grabs him by the front of his shirt and looks deep into his eyes.
PHIL Don’t mess with me, pork chop. What day is this?
CHUBBY MAN (TERRIFIED) February second-- Groundhog Day!
Phil can see he’s telling the truth and relaxes his grip on the poor man.
PHIL Okay. Sorry. I’m having a bad day.
Phil walks on, leaving the chubby man baffled and insulted.
