But seriously, do you have any more of that crack left? You know what, Ron? We're a news team, and that's a bond for life. But I don't like the man you've become. You know, we were happy when you found us. Right? I was taking pictures of pussies, Champ was serving bats to people, and Brick was dead. We took a gamble. Took a gamble to follow you here. But I'm starting to realize, this was all about you, and beating Veronica at all costs. Had nothing to do with the news, nothing to do with the team. Brian, don't. You know, I might not be the smartest guy, but I know a thing or two about a thing or two. I know that if you're pleasuring a woman down south, you use your tongue to spell out the alphabet. Around the bubble. Around her bubble. The vulva! The Volvo. I know that "synergy" is a completely made-up word. I know that washing your hands is for nerds. Especially if you don't mind pinkeye. And I know that, no matter what, you always stand by your friends. You'll have to excuse me, Brian.

Are you a little upset? Do you want to do that thing where we sort of talk about our feelings? Oh, God, no. Okay. This is the pulse of what's going on in our country right now. Freddie, what's going on? Why is there a local car chase on the TV? It's Burgundy. He insisted! Can't you see what the son of a bitch is doing? We didn't have a story, so he made one. You can't do that! Tell Ron to speculate who's driving the car. Ron, speculate on who's driving the car. Uh, we believe the driver may be on drugs. He's probably 6'7", 6'8". But a skinny 6'7", 6'8". About 160. He may have a hostage or two. Uh, we don't know. He could have... The phone lines are lighting up. It's about the chase! I've never seen anything like it!
