Quote from Leslie Knope in Woman of the Year
Elise Yarktin: He's the Director of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department. He is also the recipient of this year's Dorothy Everton Smythe Female Empowerment Award. Please put your hands together for Mr. Ron Swanson. [applause] Ron Swanson: Thank you. Thank you. Every award, from the smallest trophy to the Nobel Prize, is nothing more than... Is nothing more than a great way to honor someone. So, I would like to present this year's Dottie English Whatever Award to the person who actually deserves it, Leslie Knope. Come on up here, Leslie. Leslie Knope: Thank you. I don't know what to say. Honestly, I'm just very honored to work for someone as insightful and kind as my boss. So, I would like to present this year's Dorothy Everton Smythe Award to Ron Swanson. Ron Swanson: I don't want it. Just take the damn thing. Leslie Knope: You deserve it. Ron Swanson: No, no. Really. Leslie Knope: No, Ron, you deserve it. Ron Swanson: Really, but I don't want it. Leslie Knope: But you won it. And you should win it. You should take it. Ron Swanson: After that whole conversation... Leslie Knope: I'm being ridiculous. Elise Yarktin: Could someone please just take it? Leslie Knope: Okay, I'll take it. Who do I speak to about getting this changed? Woman: [o.s.] Get off the stage!
