Ground Hog Day
...ery night hoping that the next day would not be the same, but it kept repeating. He saw the same people everyday on the way to the Groundhog Day event and they would say the same thing every day. Connors walks out of his hotel room and sees the same man coming up the stairs every day. He goes down stairs and talks the same woman every day and she asks about the weather and he helps himself to some coffee as he walks out of the hotel and goes to the park for the news event.
