Favorite Quotes:
     Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
     Brian Fantana  - on the effectiveness of his new cologne on the ladies,      
      "...you know they say,.......60% of the time, it works everytime."

     Public News Anchor - "Not so fast, you ingrates. Public News Team is       
      taking a break from its pledge drive to kick some ass. No commercials,       
      NO MERCY!!!!"

     "Como Esta Bitches!!!!"

     Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San     
      Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
     Veronica Corningstone: No, there's no way that's correct.
     Ron Burgundy: I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it    
      means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore.   
      Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.
     Veronica Corningstone: Doesn't it mean Saint Diego?
     Ron Burgundy: No. No.
     Veronica Corningstone: No, that's - that's what it means. Really.
     Ron Burgundy: Agree to disagree.

     Kingpin
     Neighbor: Hey Roy, can you get sick from drinking piss?
     Roy: I think you can.
     Neighbor: Even if its your own?

     Ernie McCracken: You're on a gravy train with biscuit wheels.

     Ishmael: I didn't want to be the one to tell him, but with those narrow           
      hips, that girl couldn't have more than 6 or 7 children!

     Dumb & Dumber
     Lloyd: The first time I set eyes on Mary Swanson, I just got that old             
      fashioned romantic feeling where I'd do anything to bone her.

     Lloyd: What the hell are we doing here, Harry? We gotta get out of this      
                town!
     Harry: Oh yeah, and go where? Where are we gonna go?
     Lloyd: I'll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows    
                like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the               
                salmon of  Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen.
     Harry: Oh, I don't know, Lloyd. The French are assholes.
