(Gloria) Places!
(everybody laughs)
(shutter triggers)
(Marty) Incredible, isn't it?
(Alex) The water's completely calm.
(Melman) It sure is!
I like to call this part the calm before the--
(Gloria) Woohoo!
* I am hoping that this day *
* Will never end *
* Eyes wide open so I know I won't forget a thing *
* It's like a dream *
* All my favorite things *
* I fly so high *
* I write my name in the sky *
* I fly so high *
* And I can't come down No, I'll never come down **
(everybody cheers)
(Melman) Great job, Gloria!
I could watch your mermaid diving all day!
(Marty) We did watch all day! It's almost bed time.
(Gloria) Can't wait to cuddle up.
The water was extra chilly today.
(everybody shivering)
(Melman) So was the air.
(Alex) And everything else. Brr!
(Marty) At least you've got a fur coat. Ugh.
I've gotta do my high-kick trot to keep warm.
(Gloria) How about it, Coral?
Time to head home and hit the hot tub.
(both gasp)
Your tail! Oh, no.
It probably fell off in the water.
(Marty) Huh.
D-do you want to go back in for it?
*
(Gloria) Nah, I'll just come back
in the morning when the sun's out,
and get her tail then.
Coral's tail, here I come!
Uh! Ah! Ah!
Ah!
(Gloria grunts)
I can't get your tail back when the pond's frozen!
Winter can't last too long, right?
(Millie) Give it up, Murray! Ya still got 89 days til spring!
(Gloria) Huh?
(Gloria gasps)
89 more days?
No!
*
* It's a wild, wild world *
* And it's calling our name *
* It's a jungle out there *
* So let's get on our way *
* To have fun Through the tunnel *
* See the big, big city *
* Everybody get ready *
* Get ready! *
* Time to go a little wild *
* We could go a million miles *
* Can I get a "Hey, oh!" *
* Can I get a "Let's go!" *
* On a journey *
* All smiles *
* Time to go a little wild! **
* Good morning *
* Let's wake up We've got things to do *
* We're gonna floss fangs And shine hooves *
* Fluff a mane or two *
* So go on Stretch those paws out *
* Get those yawns out Let the sun shine through *
* I'll always love saying Good morning to you *
* Good morning to you **
(Melman) C'mon, Gloria! It's a beautiful day!
The sun's shining, the ground's freezing
and I made this delightful snow hippo in your image!
(Gloria sighs)
(Gloria) Still snowing, huh? It's been weeks
since the Central Park pond froze.
Thought this whole winter thing would be over by now.
(Melman) Yeah, isn't this the "bestest"?
(both laughing)
(Marty) Gloria, we need you!
Ronathan challenged us to another sledding race and you're our star sledder!
(Gloria) It's too cold to slide around in all that snow.
Coral and I will stay nice and warm in here.
(Alex) You gotta get out of that hot tub eventually,
or you'll miss all of the winter fun!
(Gloria) No, I won't. Cause there's no such thing as winter fun!
(Melman gasps)
As long as there's snow on the ground,
I can't dive in the pond to get Coral's tail back.
And if I can't get her tail back,
she can't swim and play with me.
And if she can't swim and play with me...
there can be no fun!
(Alex) But what about all the cool winter stuff?
Like the slipping and sliding and twinkly lights!
(Melman) And snow plows!
(Marty) Yeah, and building snow-mammals
and counting snowflakes!
(Melman) And also the snow plows!
(Gloria) I'd rather be sailboat racing
and sandcastle making
and cannonballing with my favorite mermaid. Huh?
(Ant'ney) So I tell the guy,
the great thing about flyin's you don't need snow-tires.
(Ant'ney laughs)
I gotta ask, kid.
You're not your usual dramatic self.
(Alex) Really? How 'bout now?
(Ant'ney) Ow!
(Ant'ney gasps)
Ooh? Hmm? Ooh? Hmm?
(Marty) Are you talkin' to Snow Alex?
(both chuckle)
(Ant'ney) Yeah, I knew it wasn't him
the whole time!
Anyway! Got any big plans for Groundhog Day?
(Marty) There's a holiday for ground dwelling rodents?
Do they have a parade? Do they need help planning it?
(Melman) Oh! Maybe I should sculpt the snow groundhog.
(Ant'ney) Do it while you can! 'Cause once Groundhog Day hits,
there's a chance that spring's right around the corner
and all this snow will melt away.
(Gloria) Spring? I'm listening.
(Ant'ney) So, every year, Goldie the Groundhog
comes out of a hole in Greenville, Pennsylvania,
to announce if winter's over,
or if we gotta wait a bunch more weeks
til it warms up.
(Gloria) A bunch more weeks? I can't wait that long!
I need the pond to melt now!
(Ant'ney) Don't worry, Goldie's a spring-time gal.
She brought spring real quick four years in a row!
The groundhog who had the job before her?
Winter all the time. But not our Goldie.
(Gloria) She makes it spring? How does she do that?
(Ant'ney) Eh...
Maybe she's got one of those high-powered blow dryers.
I don't know.
However she does it, she's got that special touch.
(Gloria) Coral, did you hear that?
We'll get your tail back and be divin' again in no time!
*
(Alex) Huh! Goldie's about to hit the stage!
(Mary-Sue) Well, Todd, spring is right around the corner,
or is it?
(Todd) We're about to find out, Mary-Sue!
Let's check in on Greenville, Pennsylvania,
where Goldie's about to predict whether we're in for more winter.
(Gloria gasps)
Or if spring is on its way.
(Gloria) C'mon, spring!
(Melman) Or more winter could be pretty great, too!
(Mary-Sue) Greenville Goldie's been hibernating all winter.
Right now, she's looking for her shadow.
(Todd) I love to watch her process.
Settle in, folks,
Goldie's known to take her time exploring her environment.
If you're just tuning in,
expect to see a lot more sniffing.
(Ant'ney) Ooh, the big announcement!
I love this part!
(Gloria) Get ready, Coral, time to turn up the heat!
(groundhog chirps)
(Handler) Greenville Goldie has seen her shadow.
That means we can look forward to six more weeks of winter.
(Melman) Woohoo! Six more weeks of snow plows!
That's amazing!
(Gloria) Six more weeks of winter?
Ant'ney, I thought you said she was the queen of spring!
(Ant'ney) Guess her spring streak is over.
Heckuva run though. Uh!
(Gloria) Six weeks until the pond unfreezes?
Ugh! It may as well be forever.
(Alex) Where are you going, Gloria?
(Gloria) My tank. Coral and I have six weeks
of not having any fun to prepare for.
(Marty) I know it's tough
when you can't do what you wanna do.
But that doesn't mean you can't do something else.
I mean, you're a strong, fun-loving, resourceful hippo!
-(Gloria) Marty, you're right! -(Marty) I get that a lot.
(Gloria) I am strong.
So if a teeny tiny groundhog can control the weather,
imagine how much weather a big, powerful hippo can control!
(Marty) Eh, that's not where I was going. Ugh!
(both laughing)
Alex!
(Gloria) Before Goldie became the all-powerful Greenville Goldie,
she was just a kid, like us!
(Alex) You're right, everyone has to start somewhere!
(Gloria) And I'm gonna start by asking winter to leave.
and if it won't leave,
then I'll just have to kick it out myself.
Coral, get ready for divin' season
'cause I'm about to bring on spring
and get your tail back.
Alright, gang. It's time to heat things up!
(Melman) I support you, Gloria, but think of the snow plows.
(Alex) I'm in!
Spring lighting is much more flattering to my whiskers.
(Marty) I wonder if we need a permit to change the weather. we aren't exactly professionals.
(Gloria) If Goldie can do it, we can too.
I just have to figure out how.
*
* Yeah *
* I'm 'bout to take control *
(Gloria chuckles)
* C'mon *
* Yeah *
* Oh *
* It's time That I take control *
* And take the day in my hands *
* So that wherever I go *
* Everything goes as I planned *
* So let's stand *
* Hand in hand *
* As we make *
* This day *
* Excellent *
* So let's heat it up *
* On repeat let's all *
* Add some extra fun To the day *
* Yeah, let's heat it up *
* Make it magical *
* We won't stop We'll go all the way *
* Hey *
* Heat it up Heat it up *
* Yeah *
* Heat it up Heat it up *
* Yeah **
(Melman) Uh! It's a sign!
(Gloria) The sun does seem a good place to start.
Marty, still got all those sunglasses
in the Lost & Found?
(Marty) Got a whole pile of 'em!
They're the world's second most-lost item, after socks.
(Gloria) Excellent.
I'm gonna need all the shades you can find.
And one very long rope.
(Marty) Okay, everyone. Stand back.
And do not look directly at the sun.
(Alex) You think you can reach the sun from here?
(Gloria) Worth a try!
I only need to lasso it a little closer,
and the weather will warm up in no time.
Here goes nothin'! Uh!
(Alex) It's going!
-(Melman) It's going! -(Marty) It's--
(Gloria) I got something! Uh!
(Pickles) Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(Gloria gasps)
(Gloria) My bad.
(Pickles) If you wanted our attention, you coulda just asked.
(Melman) Try again! You were so close.
(Marty) Was she?
(Alex) I dunno about this plan. We can't actually lasso the sun.
(Marty) Maybe there's something you can do right here,
on the ground?
(Melman chuckles)
(Gloria) Snow! Of course. To say hello to spring,
we've gotta say sayonara to the snow!
(Melman) Say goodbye to snow? I'll miss you, crunch.
(Gloria) If we can end winter here,
we can do it anywhere!
First the habitat, next the pond.
(Melman grunts)
Then the world!
(Melman) Uh, uh, oh! Oops.
(Alex) That's a lotta snow.
(Gloria) With all of us, it shouldn't take too long
to shovel winter away.
(Alex grunting)
(Marty laughing)
(Melman grunting)
Phew!
(Gloria grunting)
(Marty) I'll just be here resting
for a few days. Uh!
(Alex) Well earned, buddy. You should take a break, Gloria!
(Melman) Yeah, don't strain a muscle!
(Gloria) I'll rest when I'm done! And I almost am.
Hah! We did it!
(Lucia) ¡Hola, Gloria! ¿Qué pasa?
(Gloria) I'm getting rid of winter!
(Lucia) Huh?
(Gloria) See? It feels warmer already.
(Gloria sighs)
(everybody sighs)
Huh?
What? Not more snow!
No prob! I'll just sweep these up.
(Melman) It's okay, Gloria!
I'll make sure they don't hit the ground!
(Melman gasps)
(Melman screams)
(Lucia) ¡Upa!
Guess spring didn't feel like sticking around, huh?
(Gloria) Nope. Huh!
Lucia, you've lived in all sorts of tropical places.
You must know how to warm things up.
(Lucia) Waiting for the seasons to change
is a part of life! While you wait for spring,
let your heart melt with the beauty of the snow!
(Gloria) That's not a bad idea!
Moving the snow isn't enough to bring spring.
We've gotta melt it.
(Lucia) That's not really what I meant.
(Gloria) And what melts snow better
than a little warm water?
In your ready positions!
-(Marty) Ready! -(Melman) Positions!
(Alex) Me too, what they said!
*
(Gloria) And, go!
(Marty) Pull!
(Gloria) It's working! This is easier than I thought!
(everybody panting)
(Marty grunts)
(everybody screams)
(Melman) What was that?
(Marty) Clear ice, the sneakiest of ices!
Invisible and slippery.
(Gloria) How am I gonna defrost a whole icy pond
when I can't even melt a little snow?
(Alex) Wasn't a total loss.
That was a pretty awesome snow-cannonball.
(Gloria) Ant'ney was right.
Goldie's got the special touch and I've got nothing.
I'm sorry, Coral. We tried everything.
(Marty) Maybe it's time to just accept winter
for what it is.
(Melman) And what it is is beautiful.
*
(Alex) Goldie's on TV again!
(Gloria) Who cares! Isn't anybody else sick
of that spring-avoiding groundhog?
(Mary-Sue) Following her big, wintry reveal,
Goldie will be joining us for an interview
right here, in New York City!
(Gloria) Hmm. New York City, huh?
(Todd) Some lucky New Yorkers
will get the very special opportunity
to meet Goldie live and in the fur today!
(Gloria gasps)
(Mary-Sue) This V.I.M., Very Important Mammal,
and her handler just helicoptered
in to the Park Avenue Hotel,
where we'll meet them after the break!
(Melman) How dare she come here after what she did to you!
Although some of us are pretty happy with her work.
(Gloria) I have to meet her.
(Melman) Huh? That's not where I saw that going.
(Alex) You wanna get her "pawtograph"?
(Gloria) Nope. I may not be able to control the weather, but Goldie can.
I have to get her to change her mind.
(Marty) What makes you think she'll listen?
(Gloria) When she hears about Coral's tail
stuck at the bottom of the frozen pond,
and our long, playless, funless months without it.
I just know she'll understand and cancel winter.
(Alex) Get ready, Park Avenue.
Four more Very Important Mammals comin' your way.
(Lucia) Have fun! I'm gonna kick back
and enjoy the weather!
(Alex) To the tunnels!
(Gloria) Hey,
sorry about that whole lassoing you and Dave thing earlier.
(Dave chatters)
(Pickles) You're forgiven, if the toll is a good one today!
(Gloria) It is a good toll today!
Melman hand-made it.
(Melman) I've been practicing all winter!
(Pickles) Wow, cool! We will treasure it forever!
(Dave chatters)
(Gloria) Mm, I dunno about forever
because spring's around the corner
and I'm about to bring the heat!

(Reporter 1) How are we supposed to do our job
if they aren't letting any reporters near the groundhog?
(Reporter 2) Come on, let's go grab a coffee.
(Melman) How do I act like a reporter?
(Alex) Pretend to write in this!
(Melman) Uh, okay!
(Melman mumbling)
(Alex) Melman!
(groundhog chirps)
(Gloria) That must be her green room!
I gotta get in there.
(Marty) We'll create a diversion for you.
I love diversions.
(Guard gasps)
(everybody laughs)
(Handler) No reporters.
Goldie isn't doing any further photo ops.
(Marty) Okay, but maybe just one little picture?
(Handler) Hey! Stop that! Stop it! Ugh!
Hey, stop that! Don't do that!
Hey! Stop! Come back! You stop that! Come back!
(TV presenter) And lift that leg up! Hold it.
(Goldie) Oh, you spooked me, honey.
Thought you were one of those humans
trying to get a picture.
Sorry for your trouble, but I'm not doing "pawtographs"
for another hour.
(Gloria) I don't want your "pawtograph."
(Goldie) Oh? But aren't you a fan?
(Gloria) Definitely not. I'm the opposite!
(Goldie) Well! That's something new.
So tell me, if you're not a fan, why are you here?
(Gloria) I, I wanted to...
Well, because you ruined everything!
(Goldie) Let me guess. Is this about the weather?
(Gloria) Well, yes!
I came here to ask you to change your mind
and make it spring. This is my doll Coral and--
(Goldie) I'm gonna stop you right there, honey.
(Goldie sighs)
When you're in my line of work,
everyone's got something to say about the weather.
(Gloria) Well, weather's important!
It decides what kinda day you're gonna have,
what toys you play with...
(Goldie) Those sound like things you should be deciding.
And I'm sorry to tell you this,
but I can't control the weather. I just predict it.
Even then, sometimes I'm wrong.
-(Gloria) But Ant'ney said-- -(Goldie) Ant'ney?
(Gloria) A very well-informed pigeon.
(Goldie) Uh, what does a pigeon know about the weather?
They don't even migrate! Uh!
Your pigeon friend got this one mixed up.
I hibernate underground for most of the winter.
After a few months, I come up to see
if it's time to get up, or if I gotta go back to bed.
That's all there is to Groundhog Day.
(Gloria) But you're not hibernating now.
(Goldie yawns)
(Goldie) I've got a few more interviews,
then I'm going back underground.
But until then, if you don't mind,
I could use a power nap,
that hibernation feeling's kicking in.
(Gloria) Oh, um, yeah. No problem.
(Goldie) Thanks, darlin'. Sorry I wasn't more help.
(Goldie yawns)
*
(Handler) Hey, you, come back here!
(Gloria) I hate to break it to you, Coral,
but it looks like you're gonna have to go fin-less.
and I'm gonna have to go fun-less
for another six weeks.
(Marty) Aw, cheer up!
Winter's not so bad! Those kids are having fun!
(Melman) I bet you'd be great on skates, Gloria!
(Gloria) Uh! Maybe,
if I could stop thinking about Coral's mermaid tail
somewhere deep, down below my feet.
(Alex) They were givin' away hot chocolate over there!
(Gloria) Thanks, but I'm more of a lemonade kinda girl.
(Melman) My fail-safe technique for feeling better
is to turn that frown upside down!
(Gloria chuckles)
Hmm, that always works for me.
Oh, no, now my smile is turning into a frown.
It's contagious! Ah!
(Melman panting)
(Gloria) It's okay, Melman. I'll be fine.
(Melman) No!
You mess with my best friend and I mess with you!
I'm gonna take you down, winter. Starting with this ice.
-This is for you, Gloria! -(Alex) Come back!
(Marty) Melman, stop!
(Gloria) You really don't have to do this!
(Melman) Ah, ah, whoa, oh, no! Gloria!
(Gloria) I'm comin', Melman! Ah! Or maybe not!
(Melman screams)
(Gloria grunts)
Oh, no.
(Melman) I can't stop!
(Gloria grunts)
(Gloria panting)
(Gloria) Hmm! I got this!
(Gloria chuckles)
Here I come!
Huh!
(Melman gasps)
(Melman) Hmm!
-Yeah! Woohoo! -(Gloria) Hey, this is fun! Wow.
(Gloria chuckles)
Ice dancing is almost as good as land dancing!
Goldie was right,
I get to decide what kind of day I'm gonna have!
(both grunt)
*
* I am hoping that this day Will never end *
* It's been perfect From the moment it began *
* Every minute better Than the last *
* Slow it down Cuz it's going too fast *
* Eyes wide open so I know I won't forget a thing *
* It's like a dream *
* All my favorite things *
* I fly so high *
* I write my name in the sky *
* I fly so high *
* And I can't come down No, I'll never come down *
* Fly so high *
* I write my name in the sky *
* I fly so high *
* And I can't come down No, I'll never come down *
* No, no, I never come down *
* No, no, I never come down **
(Gloria) An ice tail!
Well, this'll work fine while we wait for spring!
* It's evening Let's wind down *
* Today is almost done *
* It was a bit sweet *
* A little wild *
* Let's shine that ossicone *
* Go on and stretch Those paws out *
* Let that yawn out *
* Oh! I'm tired too *
* I love saying goodnight To you *
* Goodnight to you **
(Gloria sighs)
(Gloria) Winter definitely has its perks!
Woohoo! Told ya I'd get it back!
Even if it took a little longer than expected.
I still told ya!
(Millie) Give it up Murray! Winter's over!
(Murray) Oh.
(Millie) But only 275 days til it's back!
(Murray) Mm, in that case...
Badminton, anyone?
(Gloria sighs)
(Gloria) Never thought I'd say this, but I'll miss you, winter!
