And I’m Ron Burgundy. Go fuck yourself, San Diego.

Let me ask you this: Do you really think the boy’d shout out a thing like that so the whole neighborhood could hear him? I don’t think so – he’s much too bright for that.
– Juror #8
Bright? He’s a common ignorant slob. He don’t even speak good English.
– Juror #10
He *doesn’t* speak good English.
– Juror #11

I’m in a glass case of emotion.

Boy, that escalated quickly… I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
– Ron Burgundy
It jumped up a notch.
– Champ Kind
It did, didn’t it?
– Ron Burgundy
Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart.
– Brick Tamland
I saw that. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?
– Ron Burgundy
Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.
– Brick Tamland
Brick, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you’re probably wanted for murder.
– Ron Burgundy
Where’d you get your clothes… from the… toilet store?
– Brick Tamland
Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale’s vagina.
– Ron Burgundy
No, there’s no way that’s correct.
– Veronica Corningstone
I’m sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don’t know what it means. I’ll be honest, I don’t think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.
– Ron Burgundy
Doesn’t it mean Saint Diego?
– Veronica Corningstone
No. No.
– Ron Burgundy
No, that’s – that’s what it means. Really.
– Veronica Corningstone
Agree to disagree.
– Ron Burgundy
You stay classy, San Diego.
– Ron Burgundy
[Ron’s dog barks at him] You know I don’t speak Spanish.
– Ron Burgundy
I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly…
– Ron Burgundy
[riding a bear] Hey, Ron. I’m riding a furry tractor.
– Brick Tamland
A lot of you have been hearing the affiliates complaining about a lack of diversity on the news team.
– Ed Harken
What in the hell’s diversity?
– Champ Kind
Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.
– Ron Burgundy
Ron, I would be surprised if the affiliates were concerned about the lack of an old, old wooden ship, but nice try.
– Ed Harken
[to dog] You’re so wise. You’re like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair.
– Ron Burgundy
Brick, where did you get a hand grenade?
– Ron Burgundy
I don’t know.
– Brick Tamland
It’s so damn hot… milk was a bad choice.
– Ron Burgundy
Great Odin’s raven.
– Ron Burgundy
You stay classy, San Diego. I’m Ron Burgundy?
– Ron Burgundy
Dammit. Who typed a question mark on the Teleprompter?
– Ed Harken
Um, Brick, before I let you go, are you still having your celebrity golf tournament?
– Ron Burgundy
Um, no, no. Too many people died last year, so we’re not gonna.
– Brick Tamland
I pooped a hammer.
– Brick Tamland
Where is the suit store? We’ve been walking for forty-five minutes.
– Brian Fantana
Brick, I thought you said this was a shortcut.
– Champ Kind
Fantastic.
– Brick Tamland
Well, is it a shortcut or not?
– Ron Burgundy
Okay.
– Brick Tamland

The human torch was denied a bank loan.

This is worse than that time the raccoon got in the copier!
– Custodian
Sweet Lincoln’s mullet.
– Ron Burgundy
I’m storming your castle on my steed, m’lady.
– Ron Burgundy
Knights of Columbus, that hurt.
– Ron Burgundy
I’m gonna punch you in the ovary, that’s what I’m gonna do. A straight shot. Right to the babymaker.
– Ron Burgundy
By the beard of Zeus!
– Ron Burgundy
For just one night let’s not be Co-workers. Let’s be Co-people.
– Ron Burgundy
I ate fiberglass insulation. It wasn’t cotton candy like the guy said… my stomach’s itchy.
– Brick Tamland
I pooped a Cornish game hen.
– Brick Tamland
You dirtbags have been in third place for five years.
– Ron Burgundy
Oh yeah? Well, you’re about to be in… dead place.
