I'm getting tired of it.

I was in Korea!

I miss Ron.

You know, I have an admission

to make, Mr. Burgundy.

When we first met, I-- I--

thought that you were just like

every other anchor.

But... you're not.

God, I was

so tongue-tied that night.

I kept wishing there was

a Teleprompter for life.

It's ridiculous

to think about now.

What about you, Veronica?

What are your hopes?

What are your dreams?

- What are your passions?

- Well...

believe it or not,

we share the same dream.

I, too, want to be

a network anchor.

Oh boy!

And I'd like to be

king of Australia.

Seriously, you sound like

an insane person.

No, I'm very serious,

Mr. Burgundy.

You see, I've always been...

cursed with a talent for pursuits usually

dominated by men.

When I was a little girl,

instead of playing house,

I would play drill sergeant

or butcher.

Later on in high school, instead

of trying out for cheerleading,

I was president

of the bow hunting club.

One morning, I read

the announcements over the PA,

just the sound of my voice...

so powerful,

commanding

all of those students,

grabbing their attention,

I just--

I knew I had

but one destiny,

and that was to be

the first female anchor.

Yes, the road has been lonely,

and...

difficult...

and lonely.

You are electric.

Now, Ron,

friend to friend,

sounds to me like you

better just be careful.

Just take some caution

with this, 'cause...

you're really making a lot of us

feel uneasy with this type of talk.

Well, this morning...

when I woke up...

and I saw Veronica

lying there next to me...

for a split second...

I actually cared about someone

more than Ron Burgundy.

That doesn't make any sense!

You're you,

she's a whole different person.

You care about her?

That's just crazy.

Well, if love is a form of madness,

then lock me up

and throw away the key.

( chuckles )

Ron:
Hey, gang!

Papa's home!

Oh, honey, I am so glad

you're home.

My alabaster doll,

mmm.

Gentlemen,

you look great.

No eye contact!

Oh, darling, oh!

I've spent all day cleaning your Emmys and

preparing dinner in the nude.

Oh, let's make whoopee.

- Oh, yes!

- You are a bad boy!

I'm bad! I need to go

to the principal's office.

I love my life!

You take that back

right now, Ron.

Or you tell me right now that

you're under some kind of spell

or witchcraft or you

got bit by a horrible bug.

- That's crazy!

- So where is Veronma--

Veronamaca now?

She's off to go do

her first story,

The Feline Fashion Show.

I hope she can handle it.

This is big time.

( applause )

Oh, next we have

a popular favorite--

the bride and the pirate.

Yes, it's time for a pirate wedding,

enacted by cats.
