"Yes, the road has been lonely, and... difficult... and lonely." "You are electric." "Now, Ron, friend to friend, sounds to me like you better just be careful." "Just take some caution with this, 'cause... you're really making a lot of us feel uneasy with this type of talk." "Well, this morning... when I woke up... and I saw Veronica lying there next to me... for a split second..." "I actually cared about someone more than Ron Burgundy." "That doesn't make any sense!" "You're you, she's a whole different person." "You care about her?" "That's just crazy." "Well, if love is a form of madness, then lock me up and throw away the key."

"I love my life!" "You take that back right now, Ron." "Or you tell me right now that you're under some kind of spell or witchcraft or you got bit by a horrible bug." " That's crazy!" " So where is Veronma" "Veronamaca now?" "She's off to go do her first story," "The Feline Fashion Show." "I hope she can handle it." "This is big time." "( applause )" "Oh, next we have a popular favorite-- the bride and the pirate." "Yes, it's time for a pirate wedding, enacted by cats." "Emcee:" "And now here's Felinus Maximus, ready to do battle."

"Look, sir, I'm about to broadcast, so if you'll excuse me, please." "I noticed the cables." "They go out into your van." " ( sighs )" " I almost tripped and broke my leg." "If anybody gets a van like that, can they broadcast their own news?" "Sir, we're about to go live in about 20 seconds." " You're gonna have to move off-camera." " Hey, I can dig it."

"For the Channel 4 News team, I'm Ron Burgundy." "You stay classy, San Diego." "Oh, that's good." "That's just good." "You're not eating your food." "Oh, you stupid, stupid man!" "I can't believe that you said that we were dating on the air, Ron!" "I thought you would like it!" "Don't you get it, Ron?" "Well, I doubt anyone heard it, I said it very fast." " Besides, I think people" " Hey, you two." " Congrats on getting it on." " Thanks you, it really is remarkable." "I bet you're both great in the sack." "Let's just say we get the job done." "And this little lady over here, she knows how to handle herself." " Man:" "Yeah." " Okay." " Are you both athletic?" " You know, I have a bad back." "Bad lower back, so I have to watch out for that." "But other than that, I will do some things in the bedroom" " that'll blow your mind." " Ron!" " Shh!" " Enjoy your meal." "That was very nice." "I'm sorry, Veronica." "I" "I truly am!" "I don't know what to say, I just" "I got excited." "Look, I report the news, that's what I do." "And today's top story... in Ron Burgundy's world read something like this" ""I love Veronica Corningstone."" "Oh, Ron!" "Are you two about to get it on?" "Oh no, no, no, no." "Not right now, maybe later." " Okay, stop answering him." " I'm just trying to be polite." "You know, 'cause getting it on's a beautiful thing, you know." "Hi, hi!" "Geoff Grendon." "I didn't introduce myself, Geoff." "E-O-double F." " Geoff Grendon." " If you all need photos." " If you ever need wedding photography" " Great." "Or boudoir photography." "I'd love to write that down." "If you have a pen, I don't have a pen" " You're being very inappropriate." " Yeah, hey..." "Do y'all need more cheese?" "I can..." "Honey, can I have your napkin to write down Geoff's name?" " G-E-O-F-F" " G..." " G-E-O-F-F, Grendon." " Grendon." "Well, I understand, Mr. Dawson." "But, he is my son and I would prefer if you didn't refer to him as "a dirty little animal."" "Well, okay, if that makes you feel happy." "But let me just say I..." "I really feel Chris is at a point that he's ready to turn everything around." "What's that?" "You don't?" "Well, fair enough." "But let me just say" "Let me just" "Let me-- okay." "Well, thanks for listening to my side of it anyway, sir." "You have a nice day." "Goodbye." "Um..." "I could come back later, Mr. Harken." "No, no, it's just parent stuff."

"A source of mine at the fbi says that they are planning a citywide disruption." "Take a shot at the meat loaf story, honey, and we'll see how that goes." "Well, what if I refuse?" "Well, then you'll probably be fired." "Garth, let me handle this!" "I'd probably have to fire you, sweetpants." "Well, then I would sue you, sir, for sexual harassment." "Ooh, I like the sound of that." "Sexual Her-ass-ment." "Mr. Harken, you have a lot to learn about a professional work environment." ""You have a lot to learn about a professional work environment.""

"Listen, Donna, I need the unedited tape of the cat fashion show that I did a while back." " Do you have that?" " Sure, Ms. Corningstone." "Oh, wonderful." "( clears throat )" " Here we go." " Oh, good, thank you." "Can I just say that I think you're fantastic?" " Oh..." " I see you, and you're just going." "And you're a girl." "It just makes me want to yell, "Keep going, girl!"" "or "You go, girl!"" "Keep working on that." ""Keep it up, lady." I don't know." " That's probably silly." " Are we done here?" " Oh, oh yeah." " Oh good." "All right, thank you, Donna," " very much." " And you're pretty." "And I'm bisexual." "I'm having a fondue party... in my pants." " You're gonna have to move off-camera." " Hey, I can dig it." "You've got to let the truth ring out, wake up all the squares in this city of lies." "Garth, put Harken on the phone right now, he's gonna wanna hear this." "Sons of bitches." "Ed?" "Can you spell "award"?" "You can't?" "You're watching Channel 4 News with Ron Burgundy, and introducing our new lead anchor," "Veronica Corningstone." "It's Channel 4 News at 6:00." " I'm Ron Burgundy." " And I'm Veronica Corningstone." "Tonight's top story." "A chemical spill outside of Temecula has closed down all lanes of lnterstate 15." "CHP has evacuated the area, and has reported that there are no injuries." "Local officials are concerned about the long-term environmental effects and are looking where to place the blame." "Yeah, that's nice, Billy." "I've witnessed train wrecks that weren't this ugly." "Also, in other news today, if you're planning on taking the city bus, it's gonna cost you extra." "City officials have raised bus fares from 25¢ a ride to 35¢, so you're gonna have to dig a little deeper." "Fine!" "Ed:" "I know this has been real hard for you, Ron." "I'm not gonna lie to you, Ed, it's been a bear." " You aren't crying, are you?" " Nope." "I wouldn't think any less of you if you did." " I'm not gonna cry, come on." " All right." "If it's any consolation, Ron, this girl is good." "She is damn good." " She is a dynamic anchor." " Yeah." "What's more, she is a hell of a journalist in the field." " I know you don't wanna hear it." " I get it, I get it." "Now look, I think it's time that I get out on the streets and do some real hard-hitting journalism, you know?" "I wanna" " I wanna" "I've really been pondering, and I think I'd make a hell of a reporter." "Oh, boy, Ron, I think that is a bad idea." "You know, you don't do well without a Teleprompter." "Well, that's just a rumor, okay?" "Now look, let me put together a weekly feature where I rip the lid off of some big story." "Hey Harken, nice suspenders, dick." " What was that all about?" " That's my son." "Look, Ron, people seem to like you." "I'm not sure why, but I'll tell you what." "I'll put you in the field if that's what you want." " Great." " But you've got to do this right." "I mean, follow leads, confirm sources." "I am talking real journalism, my friend." "Great." "Right on." "Now, what's a lead?" "Well, Ron, a lead is when you find information that "leads" you to larger stories." " Of course, you know what a source is." " Easy." "Yes." "No, I lied, I don't know." "Well, a sour-- oh, Jeez." "Why don't you just watch Corningstone?" " She has a handle on what's going on." " Okay." "She's always on the phone, she's viewing tapes." "She's probably got dozens of juicy leads." " I'll watch her like a hawk." " You do that." "I have confidence in you." " Now, I'm gonna go grab some steam." " Great." "Ron, "I'm" gonna go grab some steam." " Right." "See you, Ed." " See you back at the office." "I won't let you down." "Helen?" "Helen, has anyone been at my desk?" "Because I am missing some very important papers that I need" " for a story that I'm working on." " Yes, Ron came by, he said there were some naked pictures of him he wanted to get them back from you, so..." "What?" "He did what?" "Oh, that... man!" "I hope that crazy gypsies castrate him and feed it to the dogs!" " May I have some tea?" " Yes, of course." "You have such passion." "All right, team, I've got a hot lead right here." "Really?" "Where'd you get it?" " Stole it from Corningstone." " Oh cool, what is it?" "It says Paul Hauser, a tropical fish clerk at Pet Shack, is head of the radical political group known as The Alarm Clock." "Has his home address and everything." "Oh my golly." " This is great." " Wow." "This is a big story." "You could win the Wurlitzer for this." "Hey, look, a camera." "Hey, if I win the Wurlitzer, you guys are all coming to the dinner." " What do you say we do it, gang?" " Sweet sugar brown." "Step on it, Brian." "We're about to rip the lid off of this thing." "I'm Ron Burgundy, San Diego, and it's time to rip the lid off of it!" "I'm Ron Burgundy, reporting to you from the mean streets of San Diego." "So mean, in fact, I feel frightened for my life." "Guess what, citizens?" "A political radical who's been eluding authorities for months is living here, among you." "But I'm now going to-- rip the lid off of it!" "Ron:" "Let's go." "Hurry up." "Be swift." "Be swift." "Stay close, guys." "Let's go, guys, stay sharp." "Well, if it isn't Mr. Hauser." "How are you today, devil?" " What?" " You heard what I said." "You are the devil incarnate." "What is that, a devil sandwich made of lies and hubris?" "I think you must have the wrong house." " Do I have the wrong house?" " Yeah, Hauser lives across the street." "Oh, that's a deceptive ploy, isn't it?" "I ought to knock you in the hip." "My name is Anthony Caltran." "Why don't you shut your mouth, you filthy piece of trash?" "Go to back to prison where every pervert can pass you around for cigarettes." "I don't understand." "What's happening?" "Would you like to tell the fine people of San Diego what you've been up to?" "Lies, corruption, deceit?" " Thuggery, buffoonery." " Me?" "I don't like the way you're looking at me." "You should avert your gaze, because you are a low-life scum who doesn't pay taxes and, as far as I'm concerned, is a Communist." " No, not I." " What would you say if I boxed you in the ears for San Diego?" "This-- this ring right here that says RB." "I'd knock and break both of those-- the pair of spectacles you have on." "I got problems already with my ears." "I don't need anymore." "I'll give you more problems." "I'll give you problems in your kidneys." "I'm gonna batter your kidneys." "Champ, hold on to the microphone here." " I'm going to town." " Champ:" "Hey, Ron?" " This is gonna be good." " Champ:" "Ron, he's right." "The mailbox, it says Caltran." "We got the wrong house." "My apologies." "Sorry, you have a great day." "Wrong house." "We make mistakes, that's okay." "That's what happens in the news biz." "All right, let's try over here." "Stay focused, guys." "Stay focused, pick up the pace!" "On behalf of Channel 4 News and the "Rip the Lid Off of It" gang," "I'd just like to say thank you for letting us interview you on such short notice." "I don't know why you guys wanna talk to me," " I just sell tropical fish." " Duly noted." "As a real journalist, I have to start with one question..." "Are you the leader of a radical group known as The Alarm Clock?" " No." " Sorry to have bothered you." "All right, let's get that cable up and shove out of here." "I think we should..." "Oh, yes." "Then how do you respond to these security photos of you outside the bank five minutes before it was robbed by four members of the group?" "You're touching his face, Brick." "Look alive." "Well, that happens to be my bank." "Just because I go there doesn't make me a dangerous radical." "By that logic, you could arrest anybody who's ever been to a bank." "Paul:" "You know, like I just-- like I said," "I just" " I work in a pet store, you know?" "Pet Shack, you know?" " I sell tropical birds." " Right." "I'm not even-- I'm not much for politics." "Once again, I am sorry." "Big hearty handshake there." "All right, let's bring the van around the front," " and maybe get lunch at Lancer's." " ( clearing throat )" "I'll have a veal chop." "Would you stop coughing, Brian?" " Look at these." " Do you need a lozenge?" "Oh, right." "How could I forget?" "Then how do you explain this clear voice match between you and the man in the security cam footage?" "A lot of guys talk like I do." " Maybe it's my brother." " Your brother?" " Hadn't thought of that." " Paul:" "Or..." "Or maybe The Alarm Clock is going off!" "You're gonna pay for this, Ron Burgundy!" "Let the truth ring out!" "Follow him with the camera!" "Ron:" "Oh boy, he's fast." "Boy, we really ripped the lid off of that!" "He took the van." "Oh my God." "He is a member of The Alarm Clock." "Ron's voice:" "This is fun!" "All right, what do we do now?" "Since this report was filed," "Paul Hauser has disappeared." "Unfortunately, police were just days away from arresting him, but now must start from scratch." "Well, that was quite a story, Ron." "Well, I appreciate that, it sure was." "I really kind of found myself as a reporter, as journalist." "But, that's my job." "I'm a journalist," "I'm a very good journalist." "I'm a damn fine journalist." "And right now, I'm sensing some jealousy." "But, that's part of the game." "And sometimes some people are better, and other people aren't." "So, coming up after the commercial break," "Brick Tamland, he's gonna have a little weather report for you." "We have a hot one in store over here in Fallbrook." "It's 100, and you can expect on Tuesday" "Not yet, Brick." " We'll be right back." " We'll be right back." "Huh?" "That's how you do it..." " by the way, P.S." " Unbelievable." "Unbelievably good." "Champ:" "That was great, that came off really well." "Thank you, I couldn't have done it without you guys." "Narrator:" "lmpeding a federal investigation, stealing another reporter's lead and not to mention losing an $80,000 news van," "Ron was fired that night by Ed Harken." "And once again, he hit bottom... fast." "Driver:" "You bastard, we trusted you." "Narrator:" "In fact, Ron bottomed out as fast as just about anyone." "He sometimes bottomed out when he couldn't find a parking place or if the sports section was missing from the paper." "Anyway, I feel like I'm explaining this too much." "Narrator:" "Sharon!" "Damn it, Sharon," "I'm recording narration, turn that phone off." "Sorry about that." "So anyway, he hit bottom." "?" "You got me going in circles. ?" "Announcer:" "It's Channel 4 News at 6:00." "Good evening, San Diego." "I'm lead anchor, Veronica Corningstone." "This just in." "The group The Alarm Clock, using the Channel 4 News van," " ran an armored car off the road today" " Ron:" "Damn it, Harken!" "and stole nearly $50,000." " Oh, for crying out loud!" " The group has been using the van ever since they stole it from former anchor, Ron Burgundy." "I hope you're happy." "I'm trying to just enjoy my ribs." "From all of us here at Channel 4 News," "I'm Veronica Corningstone and you stay classy, San Di-- ( clears throat )" "Thanks for stopping by, San Diego." "Man:" "All clear." "Charlie, I needed that research last week." "Well, get it to me as soon as possible." "Thank you." " Miss Corningstone?" " Yes?" "I tried calling the mayor's office, but they won't call me back." "Well, try again." "Tell them that it's me and that he owes me something." "He knows that." "Why do you have to keep typing this in Chinese, Lloyd?" "Helen, would you put Ron on the phone?" "You know what?" "Forget it." "It's all right, no." "I'll call him later." "The Vs aren't working on my typewriter." "It's "eronica Corningstone." That's horrible, they can't say that." "My name's not Eronica." "What did I do wrong?" "Ron's voice:" "?" "I'm not home right now ?" "?" "I am not home ?" "?" "I am out, so leave a message ?" "?" "When the machine goes beep. ?" "Ron, this is your mentor, Jess Moondragon." "I thought maybe you'd like to talk." "Jess... help me." "Ron:" "You've done well for yourself, Jess." "Yeah, I dreaded retirement forever, until I found this piece of land." " It's God's country." " Magnificent." "Mother Nature sure got up on the right side of bed today, huh?" "She's a giving lady, Mother Nature, she is." "She didn't even bother to put on makeup." "You know, I'd deeply like to take her and..." " make love to her." " Mmm." "She's an elusive goddess, Mother Nature." "Yeah." "Still, to... feel her succulent breasts pressed against me..." " Mmm." " and my breath, whispering hot in her ear..." ""Yeah, baby..."" "while I fumble with my belt." "You get my drift, friend?" "Yeah, yeah I do." "I do, but therein lies the rub, for she turns away all suitors." "I'd like to take Mother Nature to a sleazy motel, get in the shower and... wash each other all over, then go in the bedroom and do things you can only do in Bangkok." "All right, I'm gonna have to stop you there." "You're making me very uncomfortable." "Sorry, Ron Burgundy, I" "Mother Nature does that to me." "So I guess you heard what happened to me." "I did indeed, old friend." "Everyone hates me, Jess." "I can't work anywhere." "My dream of going network is all but dead." "Now you listen to me, the world always needs a good anchor, and Ron Burgundy is a damn fine one, so you just hang in there." "That's your advice?" ""Hang in there"?" "Look, I don't know why you ever looked up to me so much in the first place." "I'm not all that great a guy." "Well then, I guess I'll be going." "You know, it's funny." "I always wanted to do a broadcast from the observatory." "I bet you could reach a million homes from up there." "Now I'd be happy to reach just one." "Why don't you take a naked nature walk with me?" " It'd cheer you up." " Yeah, I'm not gonna do that." "I tell you, you get out there and everything's just hanging free..." " Kind of weird." " The deer come up, sniff you..." " Not my style." " It's neat." "Bend over to pick a flower" " and that cold nose" " Okay." "Now I'm getting uncomfortable." "I got extra sandals." " I bet you do." " No, really, I mean, come on" " Nope." "Nope." " You'd like it." "It'd make me happy." " Nope." " Make an old man happy." " Not gonna do it." " Come on." "Well, hello, Miss Anchor-liar." "Guess what?" "Now you're gonna read the real news." "I hope you don't mind, I ate some of your cottage cheese." "Hey, what're you doing?" "Give me the whistle." "Let's go." "Come on, come on." " Move!" " Move it." "Chris, how many times have we had this conversation?" " About a million times." " I guess it'll be a million and one, so listen up." "You cannot hang around people's houses at night" " wearing a ski mask." " I'm not hanging out, I'm doing stuff." " Well, it makes them nervous." " Sorry, Dad." "God."

Signed The Alarm Clock." "See, Dad?" "I told you I wasn't part of that group." "Okay, it looks like I owe your mother $10." "Always accusing me." "Hey, don't "boge" on my jay!" "What's up?" "Oh... never mind!" "I'll hold that as evidence." "You take this down to fingerprinting." "We don't have fingerprinting, do we?" "Just file it." "You'd do well to emulate that young man." "He's pulled himself up by his bootstraps." ""Garth, take this down and put it in the files."" " "Garth, do everything I say."" " Oh, that's a nice mouth."

"It must be somewhere with a big enough broadcast radius" "Eli Whitney's nose!" "I know where they are!" "The San Diego Observatory." " It's the highest point in the area." " You need to call the cops," " there's a phone right by the door." " No." "If they go up there with their sirens blaring, those crazies could panic." "I did this." "Now I have to make it right." "Good evening, I'm Ron Burgundy." "Son of a man nipple." "Mother-flippin' Ron Burgundy is back." "If I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna need my news team at my side." "Ron:" "News team... assemble!"

"I've been thinking about you every second." "Part of the time wanting to kill you, because of my hatred." "Another time, wanting to make love to you in a 24-hour endless cycle." "Ron, there's something that you should know." "Shh, shh." "You needn't say a word." "But Ron, I wasn't myself." "I was angry, I was consumed with ambition and I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, my little chinchilla." "If it wasn't for my stupid pride, we wouldn't be here right now." "Okay, here's what's gonna happen, Miss Corningstone." "In 10 minutes, we're going live."

"But I can't possibly read this on the air." "Besides, it needs to be typed and preferably double-spaced." "Courier, Helvetica, Monaco, I don't know." "Okay, all right, enough." "I'm" " I'm almost finished." "I'm almost done." "I've just got to..." " do this one part here." " Man!" "What the hell, Paul?" "You been writing that manifesto for three months, man." " Read it before I kick your ass." " Yeah, you jive turkey, read it." "You wanna hear the manifesto?" "Okay, fine, here it is!" "Here is how The Alarm Clock will change the world forever!" "All right, you know how when we... drink beer or soda, and then we throw out the bottles and cans?" "Well, how about we start saving those bottles and cans?" "Reuse them." "You are a lunatic." "Yeah, you'd need a whole 'nother garbage can for the bottles." " People would never do that."
