Leslie Knope Quote #344

Quote from Leslie Knope in Sweetums

Nick Newport: [on video] I'm Nick Newport, president of Sweetums, giving you a look inside our corn syrup factory. This is all-new, high-fructose corn syrup, a miracle product that's sweeter than sugar, but cheaper to produce! Cheap, delicious, sugary corn is currently being used by farms to fatten up their cows and pigs. Look how fat those cows are! Fat, happy and docile, the way we like them.
Leslie Knope: So, you still want to claim that corn syrup is healthy?
Randall: Corn syrup is natural, and it's fine in moderation. But don't take my word for it. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Nick Newport, Jr! All right! [applause]

Quote from Ron Swanson

Ron Swanson: [aside to camera] I could not be happier about this. I think the entire government should be privatized. Chuck E. Cheese could run the parks. Everything operated by tokens. Drop in a token, go on the swing set. Drop in another token, take a walk. Drop in a token, look at a duck.

Quote from Ann

Ann: [aside to camera] Generally, I like to stay out of other people's business. But Pawnee is the fourth most obese city in America. The kids here are beefy. They're just husky, big-boned, plus-sized chunk monsters. I call 'em like I see them.

Ann: What are you eating?
Ron Swanson: I call this "turf and turf." It's a 16-ounce T-bone and a 24-ounce porterhouse. Also, whiskey and a cigar. I'm gonna consume all of this at the same time because I am a free American.
Waiter: No cigars inside, sir.
Ron Swanson: Fine. I will smoke the entire thing outside. Even though it is bad for me, I am going to do it.
Ann: Why is he being such an ass?
Leslie Knope: It's a long story.
Ron Swanson: It's freezing outside, so I will not be smoking this cigar. But rest assured, I could if I wanted to, because this...
Leslie Knope: This is America, right? Is it?
