• Ed Harken : A lot of you have been hearing the affiliates complaining about a lack of diversity on the news team.

  Champ Kind : What in the hell's diversity?

  Ron Burgundy : Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

  Ed Harken : Ron, I would be surprised if the affiliates were concerned about the lack of an old, old wooden ship, but nice try.

• Ed Harken : Sweetheart, you and I have had this discussion a million times. There's never been a woman anchor.

  Veronica Corningstone : Mr. Harken, this city needs its news. And you are going to deprive them of that because I have breasts? Exquisite breasts? Now, I am gonna go on, and if you want to try and stop me, bring it on. Because I am good at three things: Fighting, screwing, and reading the news. I've already done one of those today, so what's the other one gonna be? Huh?

  Ed Harken : [thinks about it]  Screwing?

• Ron Burgundy : You stay classy, San Diego. I'm Ron Burgundy?

  Ed Harken : Dammit. Who typed a question mark on the Teleprompter?

• Ron Burgundy : [concluding broadcast]  Good night, I'm Ron Burgundy. Go fuck yourself San Diego.

  Ed Harken : [various reaction from crew members]  What in the name of? No!

  Ron Burgundy : [oblivious]  Sharp broadcast all of you. Great show, especially from you on the floor. A lot of hustle. I liked that.

  Ron Burgundy : Ed, I've got to fire you.

  Ed Harken : Do you even know what you just said?

  Ron Burgundy : [shocked]  Great Odin's raven! Veronica, she put that in the teleprompter.

  Ed Harken : You're probably right, but I've got to fire you.

• 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.

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

• Ed Harken : [on the phone with his son]  Put down the gun, and let the marching band go. We'll play it off as a prank.

• Veronica Corningstone : Mr. Harkin, I just wondering if you knew when my office would be ready.

  Ed Harken : Well, that might take some time. For now why don't you just grab a desk in the bullpen?

  Ron Burgundy : [shouting in a monotonous voice]  YOU CAN USE MY OFFICE AND AFTERWARDS, MAYBE WE CAN GO TO LUNCH.

  Ed Harken : Lower your voice, Ron.

• Ed Harken : Ron, are you paying attention?

  Ron Burgundy : Nope!
