Quote from Leslie Knope

April: Ann Richards won it once, and Janet Napolitano, I think.
Leslie Knope: Janet Napoli-freaking-tano? Oh, my God. This is amazing and perfect. This is exactly the kind of big, splashy thing that's gonna get the voters' attention. When is the ceremony?
April: Next month...in London.
Ben: London?
Leslie Knope: London? We're going to London? We're going to London, you guys!

Quote from Leslie Knope

Ben: Hey, Leslie, we're gonna head to the meeting. Are you okay?
Leslie Knope: Yeah, I know it's weird, but I kind of feel bad about leaving Pawnee. It's like leaving my kid at home without a babysitter.
Ben: Leslie, you're in London. You're 4,000 miles away from home. Try to enjoy this, okay?
Leslie Knope: Yeah, you're right, as usual. Good luck.

Quote from Andy

Ben: So the only thing you did was stop drinking beer?
Andy: Yeah, I lost 50 pounds in one month.
Ben: How much beer were you drinking?
Andy: [laughs] I know, right? Probably too much.

Quote from Andy

Andy: Real quick, should I do a British accent?
Ben: Um, I'm gonna say no.
Andy: You sure?
Ben: Yeah.
Andy: I can do one. It's not very good, but I think I could pull it off. I just feel like he's gonna get upset when he finds out that we're American.
Ben: He knows we're American.
Andy: Ugh, great. All right, well, I guess we'll take the meeting anyway. [bad British accent] After all, we did come all the way down under.
Ben: No.

Quote from Andy

Ben: Lord Covington, I'm Ben Wyatt. This is Andy Dwyer, and it is an honor to meet you, sir.
Lord Covington: Well, it's nice to meet you too. However, the proper mode of address would be "Your Royal Excellency, Lord Edgar Darby Covington, 14th Earl of Cornwall-upon-Thames, 29th Baron of Hertfordshire." No, no, no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Andy: Oh!
Lord Covington: Please, call me Eddie.
Andy: Oh, thank God. I knew that other name must have been a stupid joke. [laughs]
Ben: Andy.
Lord Covington: No, no, no, no, he's absolutely right, it's an absurd name.

Quote from Donna

Tom: You really think this will work, Donna?
Donna: Why wouldn't it? We just pull the business license-- it's public information-- and then at least you'll have an address. Ooh, here. Hmm, some kind of shady, fake shell corporation called "Open 4 Business, LLC."
Tom: Thanks, Donna.
Donna: Hey, if it's Akon and y'all become best friends, I want a ride on his plane.
Tom: Done and done.

Quote from Andy

Ben: Andy, we are guests of Lord Covington. Maybe you should let him... play with the blue helicopter.
Andy: What are you talking about, dude? I called it.
Lord Covington: He called it.
Andy: That's the rule.
Lord Covington: That's the rule. Anyway, the orange one's better.
Andy: What?
Lord Covington: Come on.

Quote from Andy

Andy: So, like, you... your family owns all this stuff?
Lord Covington: Well, no, not everything. We own that building, that one, that house, that round thing, that one. We don't own that. Oh, no, actually, we do own that.
Andy: What else does your family own?
Lord Covington: Well, um, have you heard of Scotland?

Quote from Andy

Ben: As I was saying, we've really made this music program work in Indiana, and we think, with your help, we could turn this into a wide-reaching international program.
Andy: Oh, you know what I want? Ice cream. Do you guys have that here, ice cream? Oh, it's so good. You have to get it. It's, like, scoops, and it comes on a cone.
Lord Covington: Yeah.
Andy: Do you have that here?
Lord Covington: We have it. Of course we--
Andy: You have it?
Lord Covington: Where do you think you are, the moon? [both laugh]
Andy: That'd be awesome if we were.

Quote from Andy

Andy: Say it again. Say it again.
Lord Covington: Alu-min-ium.
Andy: [laughs]
Lord Covington: Okay, okay. You say it. You say it. You say it.
Andy: It's "alumilum."
Lord Covington: "Alumilum"?
Ben: Okay.
Andy: Alumilum!
