Quote from Ron Swanson in Fancy Party
Ron Swanson: You wouldn't have been able to stop it, you know. Leslie Knope: I could've yelled something or tackled someone. Ron Swanson: But you didn't, because deep down, you knew it wouldn't have mattered. Those kids are gonna do what they want to do. Leslie Knope: They may have just ruined their lives on an impulse decision. Ron Swanson: Leslie, I got married twice. Both times, I was a lot older than those two. And both marriages ended in divorce... And a burning effigy. Who's to say what works? You find somebody you like, and you roll the dice. That's all anybody can do. Leslie Knope: Wait. Weren't you married three times? Ron Swanson: Oh, my God, you're right. [chuckles] I get to burn another effigy. [aside to camera:] Ron Swanson: The key to burning an ex-wife effigy is to dip it in paraffin wax and then toss the flaming bottle of isopropyl alcohol... From a safe distance. Do not stand too close when you light an ex-wife effigy.
