Guys, I know it's a bit of a mess,

but trust me,

everything will be ready

for the launch tomorrow.

And we've culled the whole

country for the best newsmen.

There's Curtis

Knightfish from Houston.

Oh, Curtis Knightfish.

They don't get any

better than that.

FREDDIE:
And there's Diane

Yahwea from Carson City.

Diane Yahwea. You know

what they call her, right?

"All the Way Yahwea."

She's my aunt.

And the best in the biz.

Jack Lime, out of Chicago.

Rumor is Allenby is giving

him one mil a year.

That's crazy.

Who's worth that kind of money?

RON:
Oh, my God!

He's absolutely magnificent!

I bet his poop smells

like sandalwood.

Can I help you, guy?

(STAMMERS) What was that?

I said, "Can I help you, guy?"

Uh... (CLEARS THROAT)

What do you mean?

Well, you're staring

at me, hotshot.

Do you want my autograph?

(BOTH LAUGHING)

No, he was just explaining who you

were and I was looking at you.

And then he said something

and I was still looking at you.

(MUMBLES MOCKINGLY)

(ALL LAUGHING)

(IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE)

Jack Lime is a great man!

(LAUGHING)

Is that what I sound

like when I talk?

(MUMBLES MOCKINGLY)

(ALL LAUGHING)

Is there a problem?

No, no, no, no, no,

no, no. No problem.

Well, you're making a face

like you got a problem.

Um, I'm sorry that I'm

making that face.

I don't mean to make a face that

seems like I have a problem.

I don't like that face!

You need to change it,

and change it quick.

Stop making that face.

Is this face better?

JACK:
Oh, I don't like...

Oh, that new face is driving

me crazy! Change it, now!

You're getting him mad.

I only have so many faces.

I'm just grinding your

gears, man. (LAUGHS)

Welcome to the station!

We're going to have

a good time together.

Oh, my God.

That's vintage Jack Lime.

Come on, guys.

Let's go meet the boss.

FREDDIE:

We'll have separate cameras

for you, and then sports

and then weather.

Let me ask you this, Freddie,

how's the new head honcho?

Well, Linda Jackson has

a shelf full of Emmys.

She's as tough as nails.

And Linda loves to win.

Oh, hey, Linda!

I want to introduce

you to Ron Burgundy.

Linda Jackson.

How are you, my friend?

FREDDIE:
Ron.

This is Linda Jackson.

Hello, Mr. Burgundy.

Oh. Uh...

Black.

- Black.

- Jesus, just stop, Ron.

I'm terribly sorry. I don't

know why I can't stop saying...

Black. The word "black."

Hello, Mr. Burgundy.

- Black.

- Stop.

Black.

Stop saying "black."

- Black. If I don't say it, I'll pass out.

- Stop saying it!

Uh, Donna, can you please

get me a cup of coffee?

- Right away, Ms. Jackson.

- Thank you.

- Please be seated. Everyone.

- Sure.

LINDA:
Please be seated.

Great. So I know that all of you
