Leslie Knope Quote #365
Quote from Leslie Knope in Woman of the Year
Leslie Knope: I just don't get why the IOW would give that award to Ron.
Mark: Yeah, it's a bummer.
Leslie Knope: One, he's not a woman. And two, they mentioned the Camp Athena project in that letter. That's my project. I started that. It was my brainchild. Why would Ron start a camp for troubled girls?
Mark: He wouldn't?
Leslie Knope: Exactly. I deserve that award. That award is mine. Not his. It's mine.
Mark: You know what you should do?
Leslie Knope: I know, I already started a list. "Write an e-mail to Barack Obama." "Lock myself in my office and scream until I lose my voice." That's all I have so far.
