Quote from Chris in The Trial of Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: I thought I was gonna get fired. I should've gotten fired. Why didn't I get fired? Chris: Ben asked for a private meeting with the committee, and he took full responsibility for the bribe and resigned, effective immediately. Leslie Knope: What? Wait. Hang on. You can't let him resign. Chris: I tried to talk him out of it, but... His mind was made up. Look, my job is to protect the government from fraud and corruption. I was just doing my job. I hope that you can understand that. Leslie Knope: I do. Honestly, I do. Chris: 'Cause your actions wounded me to my core, which is not easy since the bulk of my workouts are focused on core strengthening. But we will get through this. You are... An excellent government employee. And more importantly, you're the only person I've ever met who's worthy of being Ben's girlfriend. Leslie Knope: I hope that's true. Chris: You know, the meeting that Ben and I had, it's on the record. You should take a look at the last page of the transcript.
