WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY (11)

 

Who cut the cheese?

What a stink

When knights were bold

Where are your children?

Why Edward tell me why

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – GROUNDHOG DAY (1993)

 

“Groundhog Day” is a comedy, screenplay by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis, and Directed by Harold Ramis.

TV weatherman Phil (Bill Murray) reluctantly has to do an outside broadcast in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, on Groundhog Day, to cover the story about, what he calls, a weather forecasting “rat”, Punxsutawney Phil, who is in fact a Groundhog.

Furthermore, it’s his fourth year on the story, and he makes no effort to hide his displeasure.

But he travels to Pennsylvania anyway with Producer Rita (Andie MacDowell) and Cameraman Larry (Chris Elliott) and dutifully fulfils his obligation while barely concealing his contempt for the whole event.

And that night when he went to bed, he consoled himself that it was only one day, but on awaking the following morning he discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and again, and again.

At first, he uses this anomaly to his advantage, to seduce women, be outrageous, be obnoxious, all without consequence, but eventually he comes to the realisation that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people, do the same thing every day, unless he can change, if not the day, then himself.

I DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT

 

I don’t complain about

My silver hair and wrinkled face

I’ve lived a long life

And laughed more than my share

I’m content as so many

Of my generation never laughed,

And so many died before

Their hair has time to turn grey

ARE YOU WEARING BAGGY DUNGAREES?

 

Are you wearing baggy dungarees?

Oh yes, they’re the bee’s knees

And I can get inside them with ease

In fact, I can have them round your knees

Quicker than you can sneeze

Oh yes, I like your baggy dungarees

SEX EDUCATION

 

No matter how many times you've had sex

If you’re offered it, then take it

Because it'll never be quite the same again

And you may never again be offered it

WHAT

 

What

What a man

What a difference a day makes

What a classic

What have I done to deserve this?

What no beer

What price Hollywood

What shall it profit?

What waits below?

What are little boys made of?

What’s good for the goose?

What’s so bad about feeling good?

What’s the matter with Helen?

What’s buzzing cousin?

PEARLS OF WISDOM

 

Pills to be taken in twos always come out of the bottle in threes.

Even he who expects nothing is blessed, for he shall not be disappointed

A drunken man's words are a sober man's thoughts.

Remember the leak in the roof is never in the same location as the drip

Love comes in spurts

Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation; the other eight are unimportant.

O Lord, grant we may always be right, for you know we will never change our minds

Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches

What this world needs is a damned good plague

It's morally wrong to allow suckers to keep their money

Smile, it makes people wonder what you are thinking

Don't do it if you can't keep it up

O orders that can be misunderstood has been misunderstood

Money is like manure spread it about it does good, pile it up in one spot and it stinks
