Quote from Leslie Knope in The Banquet
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] The people who win awards aren't always the best people. I mean, I think Ann and I are really good people, and someday others will see that and we'll get our due. Would I like to win a Tellenson Award like my mom did? Sure. But my dad never won an award, and he was always happy. He lives in Florida, in a cemetery. The point is, my mom is alive and I love her. She's one tough cookie. That's why everybody calls her "The Iron [bleep] of Pawnee." Fondly.
