Quote from Tom in The Stakeout
Leslie Knope: You're not from here, right? Tom: No. I'm from South Carolina. Leslie Knope: But you moved to South Carolina from where? Tom: My mother's uterus. Leslie Knope: But you were conceived in Libya, right? Tom: Wow. No. I was conceived in America. My parents are Indian. Leslie Knope: Where did the name 'Haverford' come from? Tom: My birth name is Darwish Zubair Ismail Gani, and I changed it to Tom Haverford because, you know, brown guys with funny-sounding Muslim names don't make it really far in politics. Leslie Knope: What about Barack Obama? Tom: Okay, yeah, fine, Barack Obama. If I knew a dude named Barack Obama was going to be elected President, yeah, maybe I wouldn't have changed it.
