Quote from Leslie Knope in Meet n Greet
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Tom Haverford is a selfish, unctuous, sleazy, self-promoting, good-hearted, secretly kind and wonderful tiny little person. He went to Kernston's office and basically begged him to meet with me again. I think he technically might have bribed him. But hey, you know, whatever works. It was Mary Pickford who once said, "This thing we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down." Tom won't be down for long.
