Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy Page #9

Synopsis: In 1970s San Diego, journalism was a well respected profession and people actually cared about what they saw on TV. And the top rated anchor man in the city is Ron Burgundy. He enjoys his run at the top, and has for the last five years. And his news team is equally as good as he is. Professional jock and former professional baseball player Champ Kind handles the sports, the curiously dim witted Brick Tamland - who's a few channels short of a cable subscription - handles the weather, and ladies' man Brian Fantana - whose collection of fine scents would be in the Guinness Book Of Records - handles the on-field reporting. But now all that is about to change forever. The TV station Burgundy works for, Channel 4, has embraced diversity and has hired a beautiful new female anchor named Veronica Corningstone. While Ron Burgundy and the rest of the Channel 4 news team enjoys fighting with competitors, drinking, and flirting with the ladies, Veronica quietly climbs her way to the top. And Veron

Nope.

You do not take a tone with me,

'cause I will give you a rap

right on the Jack Johnson!

- Okay.

- Yes.

Now this is happening.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you...

Action.

We'll go back to doing what I do best...

I guess we'll go back to doing

what I do best, show off.

- When do we get started?

- When do we get started?

- That's my line.

- When do we get started?

You say, "Whenever you like."

Whenever you like.

Keep it rolling. This is good stuff.

...an area bank in a daring...

Probably not the same one.

Probably not the same guy.

Brick, before I let you go,

are you still having your celebrity

golf tournament this summer?

No, too many people died last year.

So we're not gonna do...

Sorry. Sorry.

They named it San Diego.

Which in German means

a whale's vagina.

This is the most ridiculous thing ever.

Way to handle him. That was nice.

It sure is good to be number one.

It sure beats the hell out of number two.

We are laughing!

And we are very good friends.

Good buddies

sharing a special moment.

Don't say anything, Ron.

Just let it happen.

We're laughing, enjoying our friendship.

And someday we'll look back on this

with much fondness.

Yeah.
