Quote from Leslie Knope in Sister City
Leslie Knope: This is our thermometer! I'm trying to turn a giant dirt pit into a community park. But I need $35,000, and the city doesn't have enough money in its budget. Raul: I do not understand. Leslie Knope: You've never had a budget shortage? [all laugh] Elvis: No. Raul: Venezuela is blessed with massive oil reserves. Massive, I mean, tremendous, like, you would not believe. Leslie Knope: Hmm. Raul: The state sells the oil, and keeps all the money, and we build whatever we want. Leslie Knope: Wow, well. Now, I do not understand. [laughs] Raul: I feel my English was very clear. Shall I repeat? Venezuela, Venezuela, my country, has a lot of oil. Oil is food for cars. [aside to camera:] Leslie Knope: The Venezuelans are a very confident people.
