Leslie Knope Quote #123
Quote from Leslie Knope in The Stakeout
Leslie Knope: We have a criminal emergency on our hands. Someone planted a gateway drug in the community garden.
Ron Swanson: Okay. Call the cops.
Leslie Knope: That'll leak to the press. Then there'll be an investigation, and they'll find my fingerprints on the manure, and then we'll lose our funding.
Ron Swanson: You don't have funding.
Leslie Knope: And we never will if this gets out. Look, I will call the cops, but just give me one day to deal with this internally, okay?
Ron Swanson: Sure.
Leslie Knope: Thank you. And listen, if this thing blows up, I was never here.

Leslie Knope: Where did the name 'Haverford' come from?
Tom: My birth name is Darwish Zubair Ismail Gani, and I changed it to Tom Haverford because, you know, brown guys with funny-sounding Muslim names don't make it really far in politics.
Leslie Knope: What about Barack Obama?
Tom: Okay, yeah, fine, Barack Obama. If I knew a dude named Barack Obama was going to be elected President, yeah, maybe I wouldn't have changed it.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: I have stakeout supplies. This is stuff that we're probably going to need. We have notepads, pencils and pencil case. Shakable whipped cream. Cameras. Pork. And candy necklaces. It's like we're real police. And I made us a mix CD. It's all filled with songs about people watching people. It's mostly Sting. And look, I put our faces on there.
Tom: It's really cool.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] I would like to be President someday, so, no, I have not smoked marijuana. I ate a brownie once. At a party in college. It was intense. It was kind of indescribable, actually. I felt like I was floating. Turns out there wasn't any pot in the brownie. It was just an insanely good brownie.
