Quote from Ron Swanson in Boys' Club
Ron Swanson: Leslie? She's 19 years old. I thought I told you not to make this worse.

‘Boys' Club’ Quotes
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Good morning. Last night, in a foolish attempt to infiltrate a boys' club, I violated the government employee ethics code of the state of Indiana. I have always tried to live my life in an ethical way, and last night, I failed. I realize I have let down every female public official in America, and I would like to apologize to them, right now, individually, and in alphabetical order. Michele Bachmann, Republican, Minnesota. I am sorry. Tammy Baldwin, Democrat, Wisconsin. I'm so sorry, Tammy. Melissa Bean.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Politics is full of boys' clubs, formal and informal. Behind me are all the members of the city council over the past 30 years. And every day, as a woman, I have to walk past this wall of men. It can be very upsetting. Especially because of that guy. No matter what direction I move, he's always staring at my chest. Hmm. See?
Quote from Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson: So, after all that, it's really not that bad. You're gonna get a letter in your file.
Leslie Knope: Ron, I just wanted to say thank you, so...
Ron Swanson: Don't worry about it.
[aside to camera:]
Ron Swanson: No, I didn't do it for Leslie. I did it because I hate bureaucracy. My idea of a perfect government is one guy, who sits in a small room at a desk, and the only thing he's allowed to decide is who to nuke. The man is chosen based on some kind of IQ test, and maybe also a physical tournament, like a decathlon. And women are brought to him, maybe, when he desires them.
