Leslie Knope Quote #18
Quote from Leslie Knope in Canvassing
Leslie Knope: [to camera] Well, one of the funner things that we do here in Pawnee is the annual Easter egg hunt. Tom hides the eggs, and I have to say he did an exceptional job this year. I've been searching for 25 minutes and I haven't found a single egg. And I'm an adult.
Tom: [to camera] Oh. Yeah, I forgot to do that.
Leslie Knope: [to camera] Maybe Tom's trying to make this year a challenge. And if so, he's succeeding. I don't think a single egg has been found yet.
Leslie Knope: [to a little girl] Let's keep looking. We're gonna find one. [Tom shakes his head]

Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Why do I want to build this park so bad? Maybe because a pit filled with garbage isn't the best that we can do in America. You know, in Russia, they could pretend that pit was a park, bring their kids down there. "Hey, Vlad! Look at these rocks! Let's pretend they're potatoes!" "Nikolai! Do you want to swim in the dirt?" But not here. Okay? 'Cause we're a nation of dreamers. And it is my dream to build a park. That I one day visit with my White House staff on my birthday. And they say, "President Knope, this park is awesome. Now we understand why you are the first female President of the United States."
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] I'm going to see my mom. She's a big mucky-muck in the county school system. She's my hero. How do I explain her? She's as respected as Mother Teresa. She's as powerful as Stalin, and she's as beautiful as Margaret Thatcher.
