He is a child, Ron!

Nah, nah, nah!

He's got hair on his nugs.

He's old enough to hear this.

Your father is a wise man.

I will lock you in a closet!

Veronica, here's the bottom line.

It's a very simple decision.

It's either me or the job.

It doesn't have to

be a choice, Ron.

Don't do this.

Don't throw away everything that

we've worked so hard for.

Me...

...or the job.

SEAWORLD ANNOUNCER:

Hello, and welcome

to the 3:
10 Dolphin

Show at Sea World.

Sponsored by British Petroleum.

B.P. Oil, nature's best friend.

And now, here's your host,

Ron Burgundy.

Good afternoon, everyone.

And welcome to

world-famous Sea World,

here in San Diago, California.

Here's a fun fact, dolphins

aren't fish. They're mammals.

Here's another fun fact,

I haven't felt the loving embrace of

a human being in over three months.

(SOBBING)

I'm so lonely I paid a

hobo to spoon with me.

Let's bring out our

world-class trainers here,

Jesse and Paula.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

Thank you. Thank you, Ron.

Sometimes I try to kiss 'em.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Oh, Ron Burgundy, everyone.

- I want to kiss you.

- No.

- Or I'll kiss your friend.

- No.

How about the two

trainers kiss each other?

What do you say, huh?

So, let's say hello to the stars

of the show, Chippy and Roo-roo!

RON:
For your information,

Chippy was rehabilitated

and Roo-roo is an a**hole.

Ooh!

Look, they're swimming

and doing tricks!

Folks, what do you expect?

They're dolphins.

- (CLEARING THROAT)

- (DOLPHIN CLICKING)

What did you say?

Look at you, with

that permanent smile.

You think you're so smart,

with your secret language.

You just fan' out of the

top of your head.

- (IMITATES FARTING)

- (AUDIENCE BOOING)

- You're a punk, Ron Burgundy!

- Boo!

Children and animals hate you,

Ron Burgundy!

I would eat dolphins

if it was legal!

Unhand me, you buffoons! (GRUNTS)

All right, first, you threw

up in the shark tank.

Then you fed the seals

a chicken gyro?

And now this?

You're fired, you washed-up drunk!

Guess what, Trevor?

Every morning I get

here a half hour early

and I sexually assault a starfish!

(GRUNTS)

This is the end of the road.

I'm not turning back.

(BARKING)

Well, I know it's

not a pretty sight.

And you're gonna be

the sole witness.

If you can't handle it,

you leave the room.

(SIGHS) It's too late, Baxter

(BARKING)

I'm going the way of

the ancient samurai

who, when dishonored, would hang

themselves from a fluorescent light.

(BARKING)

Goodbye, my sweet hairy prince.

- Oh!

- (GLASS SHATTERING)

(GROANS)

Oh!

Sweet cream on nipples!

Uh, Mr. Burgundy? Hello, I...

Oh, my God!

What the hell happened?

Um... Urn...

I tried to hang myself?
