Quote from Leslie Knope in Jerry's Retirement
Leslie Knope: Okay, on to the next Jerry goal: meet Mayor Knudson. Jerry: Oh, yeah. He was the mayor at the time. [laughs] I've always wanted to meet him. Leslie Knope: Well, today you're getting that chance. Ben: So was he like a really great mayor? Leslie Knope: No, not really. He resigned because of corruption and racketeering, and then he died from an overdose of pills. But actually his real cause of death was being thrown out of a helicopter while handcuffed. Some people say he's still alive because they never found the body, but they never found the body because he exploded on impact.
