Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [on the phone] I don't know, Madeleine. They're taking forever and I'm starting to lose it. Talk to me, okay? Your voice makes me calm. Tell me another Yeltsin story. Okay, she's here. I have to go. Bye. Say hi to your daughters.
Quote from April
Leslie Knope: Hey. Hi. How did it go?
April: I'm great. I know exactly what I want to do.
Leslie Knope: Yes! Is it Teach for America? No! Habitat for Humanity? No! It's working with animals.
April: No. I want to work here. At the foundation. I want to be like Alyssa. I wanna tell people what to do and then send them far away from me. It's perfect. And it hits everything on my list. Creative problem solving, working one-on-one...
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: I am 100,000% in support of this idea. This is an amazing idea. I love this idea! And I love you! So are they hiring? What did Alyssa say when you told her?
April: Um, nothing. I didn't tell her yet. I wanted to see if you thought it was a good idea first. What? Bad idea?
Leslie Knope: You wanted to run something by me?
April: Oh, my God. Yes. So, will you help me?
Leslie Knope: April, you don't need me. You can get any job you want. All by yourself. Well, obviously I'm going to vet your resume and we'll hold some mock interviews and I'll choose your outfit and everything but... You can get this sucker on your own.
