A line from Ed Harken [on the phone]

I have no idea where he would have gotten ahold of German pornography. But you and I are mature adults; we've both seen our share of pornographic materials. Oh, you never have? Of course you haven't, how stupid of me. Neither have I. I was just speaking in generalities. Right. I'll stop by the school a little later, Sister Margaret. Bye.

[on the phone with his son]

Put down the gun, and let the marching band go. We'll play it off as a prank.

Ed Harken

Apparently, my son was on something called "Acid," and was shooting a bow and arrow into a crowd.

Ed Harken

The biggest story of the year, and my anchorwoman disappears?? Dammit... get me a phone. I can't believe I'm about to do this. [...] I'd rather slit my throat.

Ed Harken
[to Veronica Corningstone]

Apparently, my son was on something called acid and was firing a bow and arrow into a crowd. You know how kids are!

Thanks for watching Channel 4 News. You stay classy, San Diego. [observing a question mark on the TelePrompter, which was added by one of the editors as a gag] I'm Ron Burgundy?

Ed Harken

Dammit, who typed a question mark on the TelePrompter? How many times do I have to tell you? Anything you type, Burgundy will read!

Ed

Listen up. The ratings just came in for last month. We are number one. We just grabbed every key demographic.

[Everyone cheers.]

Yeah! Yeah!

Ron

Super duper, gang! Super duper! That's nice! Way to go! Neat-o, gang.

Yes!

Ron

Boy, Ed, that is good news. I gotta be honest.

Ed
[Ron and Ed shake hands and hug.]

Congrats, congrats.

Ron

That is good news!

All right!

Ed
[Garth lights Ed's cigar.] [to Garth]

Stick around. Make sure these guys don't party too much.

Garth

Uh, they don't ever really listen to me, Ed.

Ed

Just get it done.

Garth

Okay.

Ron

Let's go to Brian Fantana who's live on the scene with a Channel Four News exclusive. Brian?

Panda Watch! The mood is tense. I have been on some serious, serious reports but nothing quite like this. I, uh, Ching King is inside right now. I tried to get an interview with him, but they said "No, you can't do that, he's a live bear, he will literally rip your face off." [to the Panda] Hey, you're making me look stupid. Get out here, panda jerk!

Ron

Great story. Compelling and rich. Well, that's going to do it for all of us here at Channel Four News. You stay classy, San Diego. I'm Ron Burgundy?

Ed

Damn it! Who typed a question mark on the teleprompter? For the last time, anything you put on that prompter, Burgundy will read!
