Leslie Knope Quote #367
Quote from Leslie Knope in Woman of the Year
Ron Swanson: I'm just saying that awards are political, and everybody has an agenda. If you spend your life chasing them, you'll drive yourself nuts.
Leslie Knope: Yeah, all right. But Dorothy Everton Smythe was a trailblazing feminist. She was the first woman in Pawnee to wear pants on a Sunday. She spent four years in jail for that. I know I'm not supposed to care about these things, but this one means a lot.
