Quote from Leslie Knope

April: Your main goal today is to get 2,000 people to sign up for the Pawnee-Eagleton Merger Preservation Volunteer Action Squad. Their first project will be to come up with a shorter name for the group.
Leslie Knope: You're right. The name is too long. I was picturing bigger hats.

Quote from Leslie Knope

Leslie Knope: Can the Parks and Rec people hang back for a second? Um... The reason I wanted you guys to stick around is, I wanted to tell you... That I love and admire you.
Andy: Oh! Leslie, thank you.
April: You say that every morning.
Leslie Knope: A while ago, I was offered a job at the National Parks Service, and it's a great opportunity, but it means that I'll have to move... to Illinois. And I took the job. [all cheering]
Andy: Good for you!
Tom: That's great!
Ron Swanson: Congratulations, Knope. The sentimental people in this office will probably miss you.

Quote from Leslie Knope

Tom: We had a new Founders' Day statue commissioned and added your name to the list of founders of Pawnee.
April: Because you basically founded this new town.
Leslie Knope: "Leslie Knope. Champion of the Pawnee-Eagleton Merger. Our Most Faithful Citizen. She never abandoned us."
Jerry: There's a quote, too.
Leslie Knope: "Only a moron would ever live anywhere other than Pawnee, Indiana. - Leslie Knope, multiple occassions."
Ron Swanson: I can quit a new plinth with a less ironic enscription.
Leslie Knope: This is so touching, you guys. I am crying out of happiness, and sadness, and gratitude, and because I'm carrying triplets, and for a fifth reason I can't figure out.

Quote from Leslie Knope

Leslie Knope: [on the phone] Hi, Grant. I want the job. I have a lot of questions, but I'm a little amped up right now, so I'll probably just hang up. It might be for the best. But, anyway, I love you. No, I don't. I'm sorry. That was weird. Okay, bye. Oh, this is Lester Kanopf. No, you know who it... Okay, bye.
Ben: Smoothly handled, Lester.
Leslie Knope: I panicked. We should go. We have a lot of stuff to do... and the meter's still running on that cab, so chop-chop.
