Quote from Leslie Knope in The Banquet
Leslie Knope: This is very exciting. This is a big night. We are gonna meet some powerful people tonight, so take this down. Tom: Mmm-hmm. Leslie Knope: Good evening. Marlene Griggs-Knope is my mother. [aside to camera:] Leslie Knope: How important are speeches? I don't know, ask the Gettysburg Address. Oh, it didn't answer your call? Maybe because it was in the Smithsonian.
