Struggling Authors

So as I have just discovered that CQ and I both love Anchorman I thought I'd start a very special thread all about it where you can post your favourite quotes - let's face it, there's squillions of them we can use (and if you get stuck just cheat and look 'em up on IMDB).

By the way CQ, I have the very special 3 disc edition which has got a whole extra film made up out of outakes . Admittedly it's not nearly as good but it still has some classic moments: http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/5700281/ ... oduct.html

Champ: We need you. Hell, I need you. I'm a mess without you. I miss you so damn much. I miss being with you, I miss being near you. I miss your laugh. I miss your scent; I miss your musk. When this all gets sorted out, I think you and me should get an apartment together.

Brian: Take it easy, Champ. Why don't you sit this next one out, stop talking for a while.

So you did do it as well.
LOL.

Mmmm, well my fave quote is in fact the Diversity line and then the hand gesture after it, or that San Diego was founded by the Germans and means a female cetacean's genitalia...
I know I wrecked that line but I couldn't be bothered to look it up.

I'll do better next time, I promise.

You stay classy now, SA...

I did. Anchorman rules I love that bit about San Diego meaning 'whale's vagina' lol.

Ron: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

Ron Burgundy: Last time I looked in the dictionary, my name's Ron Burgundy. What's your name?
Brian Fantana: Brian Fantana.
Champ Kind: Champ Kind.
Brick Tamland: Brian Fantana.
Brian Fantana: No, you're Brick.
Brick Tamland: Brian.
Brian Fantana: I'm Brian.
Brick Tamland: Veronica.

Brick is such an understated character...

Everyone loves Brick the mostest. There's a cool scene in the lost film where you find out a bit more about him. It's great because it's so unexpected.

Brick: I'm Brick Tamland. People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally retarded.

I've got the "Lost" film.
Haven't seen it for a while, isn't, "Let's rip the lid off it" in there?
And the threat to hit someone in the bladder I think...?
I'm wrecking these quotes aren't I?
I'll have to look em up next time, lol.

Ermm...I dunno, I've only had the chance to watch it once so far!

Yes, you're quoting quotes skills truly suck lol. I just cheat and quickly copy and paste them from IMDB to be honest.

Bartender: You know, times are changing. Ladies can do stuff now and you're going to learn how to deal with it.

I cheated but it's a good cheat,

Brian Fantana: [about Veronica] I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up.
[opens cologne cabinet]
Ron Burgundy: Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. What cologne you gonna go with? London Gentleman, or wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight.
Brian Fantana: No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
Ron Burgundy: It's quite pungent.
Brian Fantana: Oh yeah.
Ron Burgundy: It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way.
Brian Fantana: Yep.
Ron Burgundy: Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.
Brian Fantana: They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
[cheesy grin]
Ron Burgundy: That doesn't make sense.
Brian Fantana: Well... Let's go see if we can make this little kitty purr.

Let's musk up : Classic.
Balckbeard's Delight sounds scoundrelly cool, lol...

Lol love that bit. And here we have the follow up:

Veronica Corningstone: My God, what is that smell? Oh.
Brian Fantana: That's the smell of desire my lady.
Veronica Corningstone: God no, it smells like, like a used diaper... filled with... Indian food. Oh, excuse me.
Brian Fantana: You know, desire smells like that to some people
Garth Holliday: What is that? Smells like a turd covered in burnt hair.
News Station Employee: Smells like Bigfoot's mars bar.

I love Paul Rudd, he's awesome.

[subtitled conversation between Ron's dog Baxter and an attacking bear]
Baxter: Leave these people alone. They mean you no harm.
Bear: We Bears are a proud race. They must pay for their intrusion.
Baxter: On my journey I met one of your kind. His name was Katow-jo. We became friends.
Bear: Katow-jo is my cousin. Go in peace.
Baxter: I will tell tales of your compassion.
Bear: Fare thee well, Baxter. You shall always be friend of the bears.

I think the secret of Anchorman is that the dialogue is so stilted and corny it takes us all back to the days when Champion the Wonder Horse and Lassy were taken seriously as children's entertainment.

I know not of this Champion the Wonder Horse but I think I understand what you're getting at . The corny slightly OTT dialogue is something of a Will Ferrell trademark by now I think. I love this quote:

Ron Burgundy: What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole... wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing. How 'bout we get you in your p.j.'s and we hit the hay.

Bless you my children

Is that a line from the film Tee?
It sounds like one actually, lol.

Nah......... thats a line left over by Champion the Wonder Horse.
Or should that be *Mr Edd* with a dog collar?

One pair of p.j.'s encasing two bodies.... Now that is one manoeuvre I would like to watch.

I would like to watch.

Looks like I've got gremlins in my computer fingers again.
How did that sentence get right down there? LOL
