Quote from Ron Swanson in New Beginnings
Leslie Knope: Come on, Ron. Just interview me. No special treatment. Ron Swanson: Okay, fine. What do you believe should be the ultimate goal of this department? Leslie Knope: The ancient Greek version of the park was the agora, a gathering place where people from all walks of life-- What are you writing? Is it good? Ron Swanson: What do you think is the best use of our yearly budget? Leslie Knope: It's right there in the name: Maintaining our beautiful parks and providing healthy outdoor recreation. Ron Swanson: I'm sorry, Ms. Knope, the correct answer is "Give it all back to the taxpayers." It seems you and I have fundamentally different philosophies. Frankly, it's a miracle we ever worked together without killing each other. Good day. Leslie Knope: Ha, ha, okay. No more goofing around. Just tell me I have the job. Ron Swanson: I have a lot of other people to meet with. I'll be in touch. Leslie Knope: Ron, come on, it's me. Give me special treatment.
