He's not dead, Brick.

You're not dead.

- You're Brick!

- Brick, it's you!

He's dead!

No!

You are Brick! Touch yourself.

- I am Brick?

- ALL:
Yes!

- I'm alive?

- ALL:
Yes!

- (LAUGHING JOYFULLY)

- ED:
Of course.

Of course you are.

ED:
Oh, for heaven's sake.

You kind of want to slug him.

You want to slug him.

(ANCHORMEN LAUGHING)

RON:
Do you remember our

Easter trip to San Francisco?

We got so drunk, we put

Brick in a refrigerator box

and threw him off the

Golden Gate Bridge.

I broke my back!

(ALL LAUGHING)

What about the time

that you dared Champ

to drink that beer

stein full of Woolite?

He drained it faster than you

could say, "No, don't do it.

"That's the equivalent of

drinking poison."

(ALL LAUGHING)

Oh, Lord, I was in

a six-month coma.

And they say from the

neurological damage,

there's no way I live past 55!

(LAUGHING)

You got three years

left, my friend.

You're gonna die!

Hey, hey, remember?

I was by myself and I had that

dream about the orange tree.

But instead of oranges,

it had babies on it.

It was a baby tree! (LAUGHING)

Brick, how could we remember?

It's your dream.

(LAUGHING) I don't know.

It's all the same thing.

It's an interesting dream,

but we're telling stories

involving the entire

news team from the past.

(BRICK LAUGHS)

Or how about the time when I was

born and I came out of the vagina?

(LAUGHING)

I was screaming, "Here I come!

Oh! Here I come, Mom!"

First off, Brick, I highly doubt

you remember your own birth.

And, once again, we weren't there.

(CONTINUES LAUGHING)

Ron, I can't...

I can't stop laughing, Ron!

Put a pencil in his mouth.

RON:
It's okay.

CHAMP:
There you go.

I'm okay now.

Man, this just feels right!

The news team is back!

Ron, Brian, Brick, me, even Baxter!

- (BARKING)

- (LAUGHING)

That old man is so

little and hairy!

Hey, Ron, who's driving?

Oh, it's okay,

it's on cruise control.

Who wants some chimichangas, huh?

Best thing I ever did was install

this deep fryer in the 'bago.

Ron, why do you have

this bag of bowling balls

and this terrarium

filled with scorpions?

- Oh, it's a long, crazy story!

- BRIAN:
Hey, Ron.

Cruise control just regulates

speed, it doesn't steer.

- Come again?

- CHAMP:
Oh!

(HONKING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMS)

(SNARLING)

(SCREAMING)

(RON WHIMPERING)

(SCREAMING)

(GROANING)

RON:
Well, that is gonna

make one hell of a story.

(ALL LAUGHING)

The Big Apple. Ron

Burgundy is back.

CHAMP:
Why do they call it

the Big Apple, Ron?

RON:
Because New York has

an apple tree on every street.

Here we are. Welcome to GNN.

I don't know, Ron.

You sure about this place?
